Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Production of Acala Cotton in New Mexico Cotton has been grown in the State of New Mexico since about 1910, but the development of the industry to a point of commercial importance was not attained until 1920, when about bales were produced. Prior to then, the production of the crop was largely confined to restricted areas in the Pecos River Valley, in the south eastern corner of the State. The principal producing districts at present lie in the valley of the Rio Grande m Dona Ana County and in the Pecos Valley in the counties of Chaves and Eddy, with several smaller districts in other parts of the State.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Production of Acala Cotton in the San Joaquin Valley of California Soils that will grow good crops of alfalfa and other deep-rooted field crops will grow good cotton. A medium-sandy loam is the ideal type, since it is more easily worked and absorbs and holds water better, though large yields have been obtained from sandy and heavy land. Cotton will stand a small amount Of alkali, but good crops are not to be expected from alkaline or hardpan soils. Where hardpan is less than 3 feet from the surface the roots do not develop normally, and water is required more frequently. On good land when the plants are well grown the bolls are larger and Open more widely, so that picking is easier, and the fiber is of better and more uniform quality. Some farmers have the idea that land which has been in alfalfa or pasture for several years should not be planted to cotton, because the cotton may grow too large and fail to open its bolls before frost. Although this sometimes oc curs on rich land with a high water-holding capacity, the highest yields of cotton in the San Joaquin Valley have usually been oh tained from fields previously in alfalfa or other leguminous crops. The use of cowpeas, vetches, and melilotus has increased rapidly in the last few years. Ordinarily, less water is required to grow a crop of cotton on rich alfalfa land; for this reason greater precaution is necessary in applying irrigation to avoid too luxuriant growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the twentieth century, modernization did not simply radiate from cities into the hinterlands; rather, the broad project of modernity, and resistance to it, has often originated in farm fields, at agricultural festivals, and in agrarian stories. In New Mexico no crops have defined the people and their landscape in the industrial era more than apples, cotton, and chiles. In Fruit, Fiber, and Fire William R. Carleton explores the industrialization of apples, cotton, and chiles to show how agriculture has affected the culture of twentieth-century New Mexico. The physical origins, the shifting cultural meanings, and the environmental and market requirements of these three iconic plants all broadly point to the convergence in New Mexico of larger regions—the Mexican North, the American Northeast, and the American South—and the convergence of diverse regional attitudes toward industry in agriculture. Through the local stories that represent lives filled with meaningful struggles, lessons, and successes, along with the systems of knowledge in our recent agricultural past, Carleton provides a history of the broader culture of farmers and farmworkers. In the process, seemingly mere marginalia—a farmworker’s meal, a small orchard’s advertisement campaign, or a long-gone chile seed—add up to an agricultural past with diverse cultural influences, many possible futures, and competing visions of how to feed and clothe ourselves that remain relevant as we continue to reimagine the crops of our future.
