Close Spacing Cotton.
; Close spacing of cotton has given
• better yields in extensive tests car-'
, ried out by the State College of Ag
riculture and is recommended over ■
I wide spacing. Other stations have j
reported similar results, and the gen- |
I eral adoption of the plan is being
j urged.
1 While last season was dry and
; generally regarded as unfavorable to
j thick spacing, the State College sta-
I tion reports that higher yields were
returned from this method. In rows
I four feet apart, two stalks per hill
' in all cases gave a higher yield than
• one. The bolls were slightly smaller
I on the rows not thinned and on the
;even inch spacings, but careful
I measurements showed no apprecia-
I ble difference in length of lint or
i per cent lint on the different spac
ings.
| Two plants per hill placed twelve
I inches apart gave the highest yield
lat the State College station last
I year, 1324 pounds of seed cotton
being gathered from an acre spaced
in this manner. The first picking
I was highest from this test also.
Two plants per hill fifteen inches
apart ranked next with a slightly
lower yield than when placed twelve
inches apart.
The lowest yield was obtained
from the area where the plants were
placed one in a hill, eighteen inches
apart.
On reasonably good land, two
I plants per hill spaced twelve inches
| apart in four foot rows is the recom
i mendation of the State College Sta
i tion. On poorer land slightly closer
i spacing is suggested.
The above results are the same
as secured in other experiment sta
tions throughout the cotton belt. In
nine out of ten cases spacing cot
ton eight to twelve inches in the row
I according to various experiment sta
j tions gives the best yields.
Now we know that there are many
I farmers in Hart county who believe
| that cotton spaced eighteen inches
or thereabouts is the best distance,
but these people have never made a
comparative test on similar ground
and picked and weighed each separ
ate plot. It is very easy for even
the best of people to get fooled un
less they apply comparative experi-
I ments. The farmer who does not be
lieve in thick spacing of cotton owes
I it to himself and his neighbors, be
■ cause of his influence over them, to
, carry out a small test, in which cot
ton is left at various distances.
I Complete information on horn to con-
I duct such a test will be given on re
quest.
Clover.
Now again do not let us forgqt to
observe the rssults of cover crops on
lands this year, particularly clovers.
We particularly invite your attention
to the clovers of S. L. Thornton of
Nuberg, T. B. Thornton of Cokes
bury, J. J. Macijewski, of Reed
Creek, I. J. Phillips near Hartwell,
Keifer McGee of Airline, and N. J.
Ridgway, of Duncan.
Registered Grain.
Several people are growing pure
wheat, oats and rye this year who
never grew them before. A good
many acres of these seed were regis
tered last year, but there ought to be
several hundred to be registered this
year, because we know of numbers
of people who are growing pure
grain. If your wheat, oats or rye
are pure, let me hear from you at
once in order that we may make
arrangements for inspection so that
they can be registered. Arrange
ments will have to be made also for
you to clean the thresher thorough
ly to prevent mixing in this man
ner.
Spraying Orchards.
Do not let down on your orchard
spraying. A few people have said
that they were not going to spray
any more, because spraying last year
one time gave them good results.
Cattle Tuberculin
Test To Be Made
In Month of May
The tuberculin test which is to be
given every cow from which milk
is sold in Hartwell is another step
forward in the proper safeguarding
of the health of our people and one
which is receiving extensive commen
dation. This test is to be given the
latter part of May and arrangements
are being made to make it as con
venient for those desiring this ser
vice as possible.
While Dr. Bahnson, State Veteri
narian, was here recently in the in
terest of the live stock situation of
our county arrangements were made
to get this test made through his
office free. The only thing neces
sary for those to do who desire this
: service is to carry the Veterinarian
I he will send out to the herd to give
the test and bring him back in and
then make the trip again in three
I days to see the cows and observe
their condition. No charge will be
| made for the work or for the medi
j cine used.
It is just as important for our
. rural people to have milk from cows
free of tuberculosis as it is for the
’ town people and any community in
j the county which desires this service
can get it free just as those who
sell milk in town get it. The only
; request is that community organi
' zation be made in advance and the
cows be brought together for the
test. Then someone come in and get
him and carry him out and bring
i him back for the two trips just as is
, required for the town work.
He will not go from farm to farm I
to test two or three cows. They
must be brought together in herds
! but he will go into any community
where these provisions will be made |
in advance so he can plan his work
and save time. For further details
~et in touch with the city authori
es here or with Mr. Bingham and I
'■iss McLanahan.
• Now, what is wrong with the fellow
who takes that attitude? The chances
: are that one spraying will not con
trol diseases in a year. If that fel-
I low’s fruit rots this year, the chances
I are that he will condemn the whole
I ‘praying, business another year and
say there is nothing to it. A man
who 'cannot take medicine according
to directions does not stand a chance
for proper relief. A man who does
not spray according to the schedule
cannot hope to be enthusiastic over
his spraying, and in addition, he dis
courages his neighbors.
Soda On Cotton.
Again let us remind you that if
you use a 12-3-3 or a 12-4-4 fertili
zer that you need to topdress with
nitrate of soda at the rate of 50 or
100 pounds per acre, depending upon
how much fertilizer you have used.
This soda should go on immediately
after chopping.
May 9th.
On the above date the State Board
of Entomology has a carload of cal
cium arsenate for distribution
through the county marketing com
mittee. The price will be 8c per
pound. The car may arrive a little
sooner than the above date or it may
be a little later, but it is scheduled
to arrive at this time.
You should buy 25 pounds for
every acre of cotton that you grow.
Three years out of every ten is go
ing to be a very bad boll weevil year.
1925 may be one of these years. We
are short on our rainfall already, and
the crops of Hart county would drop
to 7,000 bales if it rained heavily
during June, July and August. If
you do not believe in boll weevil
damage, then you are to be pitied,
because sooner or later, you are go
ing to be in bad shape through los
ing a cotton crop.
To insure getting your part of this
car of poison, pay for what you want
now before the car comes. Watch
for notice of its arrival.
Dust Guns.
Purchase you a good hand-gun, or
one-mule or a two-mule duster and
get a good one. There are a few on
the market which are good. Do not
depend upon any other method for
distributing dust except a good dust
gun of some kind.
Alfalfa Premier Hay Crop For North
Georgia.
As a hay grazing crop for the
northern half of Georgia, alfalfa is
without an equal according to the
State College of Agriculture which
has made an exhaustive study of the
hay and pasture plants adapted to the
various sections of the state. Alfal
fa hay is particularly valuable for
workstock and dairy animals, it is
stated, while hogs thrive on the crop
used as pasturage.
From work carried on at the Col
lege of Agriculture, alfalfa can be
relied upon to produce four or five
crops of hay during the year, with
a yield of four to six tons per acre
for the season. With reasonable
care one seeding may be expected to
last five years, and if it is kept free
of crab grass and weeds it should
last longer. Areas seeded fourteen
years ago on the College of Agri
culture farm are still returning pro
fitable yields.
The heavier, stiffer clay soils of
the northern part of the state have
given best results with alfalfa in ex
periments conducted by the Agricul
tural College, although it has been
found that it can be grown success
fully on some of the heavier types
of the sandy loam soils. The light
er gray soils are not recommended
mineral content and high acidity of
for alfalfa. On account of the low
the soils of the coastal plbin area,
alfalfa growing is not recommended
in this section. While the soils of
the mountain section are suited to
the growth of alfalfa, the frequent
showers in this erea make it difficult
s. to cure the hay.

FARMERS RECEIVE LOANS
Another large number of loans
were approved by the Intermediate
Credit Bank last week, and on
Thursday morning checks aggregat
ing some SIO,OOO came in for dis
tribution to the farmers of Hart
county.
The local field representative, Mr.
J. E. Carter, is still taking applica
tions for loans and will be glad to
explain the matter to any interested.
