'.' " : Z-R-ti Best.CulturaUPlans.ift U : Best' cultural plans for growing cotton .' under ' boll weevil conditions were Outlined by Mr. G, M.'

' - 4 " Getting down . to his , plans for th culture pf cotton, the speaker urged the necessity of planting cotton that will grow rapidly, and put on bolls early in the season. Farmers need not worry about a top. cotton crop or late, pickings, as the boll weevil will take care of both. Farmers should plant cotton in the fields that warm ip earliest in the spring. Land should iju broken Tin the fall, while cotton stalks are green, thus burying weevils in the green squares. More attention should; be . given -the preparation or lands to be planted in cotton. . L ' . Large boll varieties of improved seeds should be planted. Cotton rows should be from 3 to 3 1-2 feet wide', in order that the sun may shine' be tween them. Plant closer in the drill, as this keeps weed growth down and hastens- fruit maturity. Plant cotton early and cultivate rapidly. . - How to Fertilize. As to fertilization,; the speaker urged a l per cent, increase i nine nse ' of acid phosphate,- a J slighftti crease in the use of potash, with no change . in. the use ..of ammonia and nitrates.V Nitrates should come from mnitrai sources, inese uemg quiciver in action than those - derived from vegetable' sources." Cotton seed meal and other vegetable nitrates shpuld be used for corn .and other crops, than cotton.' Nitrate of soda was recom- meiided by the speaker as a nitrate plant food for cotton. From 600 to 900 pounds of fertilizer to the cotton acre should be used, this being; ap plied at planting time. If a second ap plication is used, it should be put down when the cotton is ."chopped' not ..later. Late applications of ferV tilizer only furnish' -food for the weevils. v . ' X- ; Grow Substitute Crops. Now is the, best time to begin to grow substitute crops for cotton,. the speaker declared. ... Farmers snouiq grow more legume and. cover crops. These crops furnish . the best fer tilizer for corn. Mr. Garren took oc casion to"urge the importance of se lecting good seed corn, making the selection in the fields. -.-Vv -v " : The Family Cow. . fThe Family Cow", was the subjeet of Mr. J; A.
