this risk.
During the second week of May,
during a severe drought, the writer
had occasion- to plantaome cotton
seed in soil that was exceedingly
dry. A lighted torch was first
passed over seed to remove the
fuzz and adhering lint which pre
vent the close contact of the seed
with the soil. This could prob
ably have been done better by
close ginning or reginning . Wet
ting the seed and rolling them in
ashes or in a small amount of
commercial fertilizers would have
accomplished the same purpose.
The seed were thoroughly wetted
with water and kept moist for
three days before planting. The
eed were then put three-fourths
of an inch in the ground - at the
rate of 12 pounds peracre. With
in a week fully ninety-five per
cent of them were up. The stand
was perfect. The young plants
are Btrong and vigorous,, with
broad, dark-green leaves, ready
for business. In fields near by
are seed which were planted from
three or four inches deep and
which have never come through.
The usual practice in this coun
try is to plant from one to two
bushels of cotton seed per acre.
This gives many plants, standing
thick in a row, Oonreqently, the
growth is spindling, does not start
to fruiting early, falls down easily
when ohopped, and, as Dr. Knapp
lays, invites an attack of disease
or inseots. In thin planting, the
talk makes a strong, stocky
growth gets busy early, and
makes a few bolls before the thick
planting gets started. Conse
quently the yield is greater.
