Excerpt from Field Crops for the Cotton-Belt Climatic conditions in the cotton-belt states are markedly different, in many respects, from those in any other large area of the United States. For this reason the practices involved in the production of field crops in the cotton-belt present many modifications of those of other regions. In the preparation of this volume the author has endeavored to present clearly and accurately the science and art of field-crop production in the south. As the art of crop production is based primarily on the sciences of botany (physiological and ecological) and chemistry, the aim has been to give to these subjects their proper application. Although this book will be of much service to farmers and general readers, it has been written primarily with the needs of the college student in view. Considerable attention has been given to the principles of plant structure and nutrition, particularly with reference to cotton and corn, the two leading crops in the cotton-belt. The student who is unfamiliar with the crop and its life-processes is ill-prepared for a proper study of the tillage practices involved in the production of the crop.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Crop Production: As of October 1, 1958 Cotton prospects decreased about 4 percent during September, largely from effects of excessive rains which were most damaging in the central Cotton Belt but which caused widespread quality losses elsewhere. Rice estimates declined slightly because of decreases in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas which outweighed the California increase. Dry bean prospects declined slightly, reflecting hot weather influence in California which countered a slight gain in the Northeastern bean area. Fall potato prospects are down less than 1 percent, with all-regions showing above average crops. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Soils and Agriculture of the Southern States It was the original intention to limit the area discussed in this volume to the region known as the Cotton Belt. As the work progressed, a number of reasons occurred for increasing the size of the territory included. The soils of the Cotton Belt do not stop at the northern limit of cotton production, but they extend far north of that line. The type of agriculture practiced in the Cotton Belt grades into that practiced in the region to the north without any sharp regional division line. The eastern tobacco belt extends far down into the Cotton Belt, corn is grown through almost the whole of the Belt, as well as in the region to the north, and other staple crops of the more northerly regions are, also, staple crops in many parts of the South.

Excerpt from Farm Practice in the Cultivation of Cotton In this division, especially in Mississippi, the farms are very large and are operated by the tenant system. Usually the owner lives in a near - by town or village and visits the farm only occasionally to direct the work. A hired superintendent lives on the farm and has direct control of it and the supervision of the tenants. The soils in the Delta areas are very fertile, and little commercial fertilizer is used. Average crop yields are higher than in any other area studied. More tillage after planting is given cotton in this area than in the other regions surveyed. This is due largely to the fact that many of the fields are infested with nut-grass, and to control it extra tillage is required. The South Atlantic division is composed of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. In this division eight sur veys were made. The farms are of medium size and are largely oper ated by the tenant system, but under the direct supervision of the own ers. The prevailing system is to furnish each tenant with a mule and 20 or 25 acres of land, the greater part of which is planted to cotton Cotton is the most profitable crop in this area, and one reason for a 1 - horse tenant system is that when each tenant has only a l - horse crop he grows all the cotton he and his family can pick. With a 2-horse crop the tenant could not Increase his cotton acreage because of scarcity of labor for harvesting, so he would necessarily grow other crops, such as corn or oats; consequently a larger percentage of the land is cultivated in cotton by the l-horse tenant system, with a relatively larger return for the landowner.
