Sims Cos., Savannah, Ga. CULTIVATION OF COTTON. If planted in a dry soil, in a warm climate, culti vate the land flat, not on beds; but if the land is cold and dump, or bottom, or in a cold climate for cotton, plant on high beds, and keep them so in the cultiva tion. When planted on rich land, have wide rows, with a thick stand in the drill, to prevent too large weed, and to make it mature early. When the plant is about (I inches high, plow deep if the land is stiff, subsoil deep if you can, and after that plow very shallow with wide sweeps, set to run very shallow, so as not to break the small roots between the rows. Top about the Ist of August, but it planted on rich or bottom land, not until the 10th of August.
