Table IV spacing between results. " Since the yield depends within Hm its upon the number of produc ing plants per acre, closer spacing .may be profitable. Closer spacing re duces vegetative growth and hastens maturity. In parts of this state; this is a very important factor. Under boll weevil conditions this would be important for the whole state. With the use of narrow rows less effort would be made to seed small grain and other cover crops in the cotton. In spells of abnormally wet weather, the closer spaced cotton would be more difficult to keep free from grass. Closely spaced cotton, would be more favorable to the eight different distances. On an av- jading the diseases, erage more seed cotton was har- Tli Farmer Should Maka Test vested from three and one-half foot There is probably no doubt but rows when the distance was 24 inches, 1 that all the different operations required in the growing of crops and with four-foot rows, 16-inch spacing gave the most cotton.
