Dr. Soule's address, was on the
subject, "A Cotton Production Cam

some of the soundest principles yet
laid down for producing cotton un

He outlined a number of steps
that are necessary in order to suc

stressed the point that cotton could
not be grown simply by the appli
cation of various forms of poison to
kill the weevil.
lia. brief,, the : following steps are
necessary, according to Dr* Soule:
SELECT AND
PREPARE GROUND
“First, select ground best suited
for growth of cotton, eschewing
rich bottom lands that tend to pro
duce weed but late cotton, prefer
ably moderately rich, elevated, well
drained land that will mature the
crop early. After selecting ,the
ground, have it well cleared of
weeds and trash and plough deep
ly, preferably in the fall. After the
ground is broken up let it stand for
thirty days before planting and
store up all the water it will. Thirty
days before planting bed up the
land so it will warm up sooner.
After this is done and the temper-
