Seven of the 10 vegetative branches were produced on the two end plants of the section, adjacent to open spaces in the row. This illustrates the effectiveness of crowding to sup- press the development of vegetative branches. But note the smaller plants, which produced no bolls. This probably is due to the suppression or abortion of fruiting branches, brought on by the overcrowded condition of the row during its fruiting period. Single-sta Ik culture aims to avoid such a condition. Compare with Plate III, figure 1, and Plate IV, figure 1. (The plants were 8 feet from the camera when photographed.).
