. Behavior of cotton planted at different dates in weevil-control experiments in Texas and South Carolina. Boll weevil; Cotton; Cotton. COTTON IN WEEVIL-CONTROL EXPERIMENTS 13 made in the west end of the May 12 planting because of the very poor stand. Flower counts were started on June 26 and were made daily until July 7. From that time until July 31 they were made every other day. The counts from each section of row in each planting are given in "Table 9, with the total number of flowers counted each day in each planting shown graphically in Figure 5. The total number of flowers counted on the west end of the rows is usually smaller than the number on the east end. This was due to retarded plant growth in the west end of the rows caused by Johnson grass in that part of the 3Tig. 5.—Total number of flowers recorded daily from all sections of each cotton planting at San Antonio, Tex. The flowering of the April 19 and April 28 plantings was delayed by the removal of early squares from the plants on June 12, as pre- viously stated. Owing to this delay, the first flowers appeared at about the same date in the plantings made on April 19, April 28, and May 5. The plants in the April 19 and April 28 plantings were larger than those in the May 5 planting, however, and produced more flowers during the first half of the flowering period. During the period from June 26 to July 13, inclusive, the total numbers of flowers counted on the respective plantings were 1,966 on the planting of April 19, as compared with 1,635 for the planting of April 28 and 1,539 for that of May 5. Only 404 flowers were counted during the same period on the two 50-foot rows of the May 12 planting. Although the early-planted cotton produced the largest number of flowers during the first half of the flowering period, the first three plantings reached the peak of flower production on the same day, the largest number of flowers being recorded on July 13 in each of.
