Or. R. Y. Winters, of the Division of Agronomy, in a statement issued tonight, asserts recent experiments concluded by him prove conclusively that thicker spacing of cotton will pay in increased yields per acre and early maturity. “Wiii'n cotton is allowed to stand thickly in tin* Grills, that is about t; to S inches apart in the drill and with one of two plants to each hill, the competition for light tends to make the plant grow upright without much spreading.” he says. “Then we have the main stem and a large number of short fruiting branches instead of a larger number of vegetable branches and longer fruit branches. It takes a shorter time to produce this stem and short fruiting branches and for that reason close spacing stimulates curliness.” Dr. Winters said the experiments conducted near North Fnrolinu State t'ollege show that when lie allowed cotton to stand as planted, thickly in the row, he made a total of 1412.1 pounds of seed cotton per acre: spac ing the cotton eight inches yielded 121 >l2 pounds of cotton and spacing 12 niches a yield of 1250.
