One Variety Adds to Cotton
Yield in White County
Through adoption of one-varie
ty cotton, White county farmers
have increased their per-aere yield
of lint cotton more than 250
\ pounds in less than six years. The
first one-variety improvement as
I sociation in the county was organ
i/.ed in 1!),'!4.
Only 15 farmers planted one
variety cotton the first year, fol
lowing the organization of the
j j one-variety County improvement program
Agent T. ,T. Huff says. Ar
rangements were made with a lo
| aside cal ginner, E. T. Irwin, to set
one-variety ginning days in
order to keep the seed clean and
pure.
First-year results with one-va
riety cotton were so favorable
that by 1939 the organization had
grown to be county-wide, with 97
per cent of the county ’csotton
acreage being devoted to one va
riety.
When one-variety cotton was
first introduced into the county,
Agent Huff points out that there
were 18 different varieties being
grown by farmers. Only four va
rieties were planted this past
year, with three of them compris
ing less than three per cent of
the county’s entire cotton acre
age.
Incidentally, a White county 4
H Club girl, Miss Wilia Nell
Freeman, produced the highest
cotton yield among state club
members in 1939. Her acre of cot
ton yielded 2,902 pounds of seed
cotton, and netted her more than
$100 in profit.

Future Farmers To
Conduct Small Grain
Demonstrations
Tlie Future Farmers of the Pal
mer-Stone Chapter are conduct
ing a nitrate demonstration in
cooperation with the Barret Com
pany makers of Arcadian nitrate
of soda.
The demonstration is on wheat,
located on the farm of Dr. E. L.
Tribble, two miles west of Cov
ington on the Atlanta highway. It
consists of two acres, divided into
four half acre plots. Each plot has
a different treatment. The first
plot was given an application of
nitrate of soda at the rate of 300
lbs. per acre. The second plot is
used as a check plot, and was
given no soda. The third plot was
given an application of soda at
the rate of 200 lbs. per acre, and
the third plot at the rate of 100
lbs. per acre. Applications of soda j
were made March 20th.
At harvest time each plot will
be harvested and threshed separ
ately, to check the yields of each
plot. It will be iuterestnigtowatch
plot. It will be interesting to
watch the difference the plots will
make. The number of stalks per
bunch, the size of stalks, and the
size and weight of the heads of
wheat all will be affected by the
nitrogen applied as top dresser.
The public is urged to watch
the demonstration, and near har
vest time prizes will be offered by
the chapter to those who guess
nearest the yields of each of the
four plots.
This demonstration was made
possible by the Barrett Company,
who furnished the nitrate, and
Dr. Tribble, who is cooperating
with the chapter by furnishing the
land.
