EARLY t’OTTU Jf SQUARES.
Primus Jones’ Early Colton Promises
Well.
Hon. Primus W. Jones. tLc first
bale man, brought to the News and
Advertiser office yesterday, a stalk
of cotton which he said was a fmr
sample of ft 150 acre field, from
which he confidently expects to pick
a bale of cotton before Ttx is can n.u
ture one.
T^e stalk was eight inches high,
and showed a well developed square,
or an incipient bloom. Its foliage
was luxuriant and the whole plant
wore a healthy complexion.
Mr, Joues said: I thought you
would be interested in seeing what
I never before observed, a cotton
square in the month of April. Yon
may consult the oldest farmers, and
they will tell you that ih is unheard
of for cotton to be so advanced
April as to square
Afttr looking with nafeigned
tonisbment on the unexpectedly weil
developed plant, the reporter asked
Mr. Jones the earliest date at which
he had ever known a cotton square.
Well, you know that I have a hob
by of raising early cotton. This is
from no mere desire for notoriety,
for I have demonstrated through
many years of experience that the
earlier cotton is forced to maturity
in this climate the larger is the
yield. Parly cotton is less liable to
disasters that ant ualiy befad t' e
crop in this latitude. Caterpillars
I never destroy the fields that ate well
j advanced, nor do the storms that g. n
j erally prevail at the autumnal eqnir ox
i find so much open cotton to blow
j ont and injure, not destroy. I have
therefore pursued a policy persistent
ly of planting early, manuring high
ly and working rapidly, and have
for years kept a record* of the stage
of development at stated dates ir. a
season The earliest date of which
I have record of a square is the IOih
day of May.
