Cotton Seed Should
Be Cleaned, JGraded
Maxinum yields of cotton can
be secured only where there is a
sufficient number of strong healthy
plant* per acre, evenly distribut
ed in the row. For thU reason,
P. H. Kime, agronomist and cot
ton breeding sjjeciajiit of N. C.
State College, emphasize the im
portance of cleaning and grading
cotion seed.
* Two of the principal cau^e-i of
a poor stand of cotton, he sa7s,
are low gemiinatioo and lo'v vi
tality of seed. Low germination
of the seed may be caused fay wea
ker damage in the field, heating
of the cotton seed iu storage, or
damage to the seed after ginnir^.
Continuing, Mr. Kime said that
cotton picked while green or
damp and stored in tightly packed
bin* will often heat enouirh to
seriously injure germination. Cot
ton seed which contain a high per
cent of moisture when ginned will
also heat if stored in bulk.
Anoliher cause of low germimv-
tion i* light and immature Seed-
Cleaning nd grading cotton seed
will remove light weight immature
seed, burs, poorly ginned seed,
and foreign material.
