. WHY COTTON SHEDS
Break
t Her Spaa Store Water.
Broadcast Fertiliser.
Your4 cotton shed, first, from want of
water. Your winter water had not been
stored away and was not on hand for
- this great emergency.
Secondly, we doubt If you bad gone
through the hsrdpan so 'that cotton
roots could go down to the great ocean
of earth water always at baud.
Thirdly, It shed for want of food.
' Your work bad stimulated the plant to
a line growth and large expectations.
- The fertilizer in the row had helped to
do this. Hence when excessive demand
1 for water and food to sustain foliage
nd fruit came and both were short the
plant bad to readjust. The fruit, being
tbe tenderest, felt the shock Ilrxt ami
died, .Tbe more flourishing the plunt
before, the greater the readjustment.
The pendulum always goes to the op
posite extreme. If the fertilizer and
i water bad been proierly dlntrlliited
. before tbe dry spell, the growth would
... have been healthier and the 'reaction
less severe.
- To broadcast fertiliser Is all Impor
tant. Fhint roots go everywhere for;
food, especially In fruiting scpson,; ;
, It Is the want of more manure tp bnl-'
, anqe jip tbe Increased demand Xor food
"l' that causes th drying up. ' You must
1 'remember, too; that no msniire'or fi-r-
tfltser Is worth anything to cotton or j
other n la nt without water.
The moment tbe soil dries below the
manure , tbe fertilizer ceases to lie
worth anything. For this reason, snys
