Notes From The County Agent Urges Thick Cotton Stands
County agent W. O. Davis advises farmers to avoid early chopping and maintain thicker cotton stands, especially under boll weevil pressure. Use weeders to save labor, secure molasses and calcium arsenate, and consider “sweet poison” substitutes if needed. Mopping at 4 to 6 inches tall boosts yield, with 1941 data showing mopped farms averaged 461 pounds lint per acre versus 345 for unmopped, a 116-pound gap worth about $23 per acre at 20 cents/pound.
