Mr. William Peterson of Sampson
county, who raised an average of
1,047-87 pounds of lint cotton per
acre on 5 acres of land, making him
the champion cotton grower of the
world and winning the national farm
prize, tells in Cotton Facts about his
methods.
"My methods of raising cotton are
as follows," the champion whites:
"I break my land from ten to twelve
inches deep, and then thoroughly disk
and harrow it We generally double
crop with Irish potatoes or early corn
between the cotton rows, which are
five to six feet apart.
"We either broadcast or drill stable
manure, then use about 1,000 pounds
of fertilizer per acre, with a top
dressing of 150 to 200 pounds of soda.
We cultivate regularly every eight or
ten days until the last of August.
This keeps the cotton green until
heavy frost giving it every oppor-
tunity to develope and mature
"We carefully select the seed,
known as 'Peterson's improved,' from
choice hflls."
