I ALBEMARLE COTTON IS EXTREMELY LATE Reports from various parts of the Albemarle district indicate that the cotton crop has been delayed by th* late summer and frequent cool nights.

Aydlett who made a visit to lower Currituck County thla week reports that cotton In that sec tion la more backward than he has ever seen It. Frequent cultivation allows air to reach the roots of growing plants and warms up the soil Inspiring the i young cotton to exert Itself more. 1 County Agent Falls recommends I that cotton be chopped out that a good heavy stand is left In the field, i Too drastic measures in chopping out | cotton prove Injurious, he says. The width of a hoe blade should be the maximum width as experiments have 1 proven that close spacing la better under weevil conditions.
