	Comparing Organic Cotton and Conventional Cotton
		Cotton industry trade organizations such as Cotton Incorporated spend millions and millions of dollars attempting to convince American consumers of the hoax that conventional chemical cotton is pure and friendly to the health of the wearer.
		Cotton may be dyed at the fiber stage, the yarn stage, the fabric stage, or the final garment stage.
		The practice of planting thousands of acres all of the same variety is known as monoculture and has left the crop extremely vulnerable to pests and diseases which also forces cotton farmers onto the “chemical treadmill.” Conventional farmers using toxic chemicals have found themselves embroiled in an endless battle with crop pests.

	Brief History of Cotton Plant, AR
		Cotton Plant was also the site of the largest Civil War battle in Woodruff County which took place on July 7, 1862.
		Variously known as the "Battle of Cache River," the "Battle of Cotton Plant," and the "Battle of Hill's Plantation," around 200 to 300 Confederate men were killed mostly in bloody hand-to-hand combat with a superior numbered Union force.
		The first written record of a school at Cotton Plant is a deed record: "A. Maberry and wife and Charles Meehan and wife, Maggie, to Cotton Plant School District No. 15, dated 4-14-83." This is the lot where the present building is located.

	Cotton - Background, History, Raw Materials, The Production Process, Quality Control
		Cotton is planted annually by using the seeds found within the downy wool.
		Cotton has a long growing season (it can be as long as seven months) so it is best to plant cotton early—February in Texas but as late as June in northern cotton-growing states such as Missouri.
		Cotton growing is a long, involved process and growers must understand the requirements of the plant and keep vigilant lookout for potential problems.

	Battle of Cotton Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Cotton Plant (also known as the Battle of Hill's Plantation or the Battle of Cache River) occurred on July 7, 1862 in Woodruff County, Arkansas, during the American Civil War.
		The Battle of Cotton Plant, designated one of the Civil War's 384 principal battlefields by the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission in 1993, has regional/state significance because it had an observable influence on the outcome of the Vicksburg Campaign.
		The Union victory enabled Federal forces to move toward Helena and occupy that strategic town on the Mississippi River for the duration of the Civil War.

	Focus on farmers' battle to contain cotton virus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The outbreak caused the cotton output to drop immediately, thereafter, decreasing to between 8-9 million bales over the next couple of seasons and hovered around that figure, not climbing even after researchers and scientists managed to defeat the virus by the mid-90s.
		Cotton is the mainstay of Pakistan's agrarian economy and cotton exports accounted for roughly 60 percent of export earnings during an eight-year period stretching from 1990-98.
		For Pakistan's cotton crop, which is grown on 12-14 million acres with an average production of about 210 kg/ha and 500 kg/ha of oil seed, the leaf curl virus, therefore, represents a serious threat to its growth in the world's fourth-largest producer.

	How Grown
		After the cotton has been harvested in the fall, the stalks are cut down and turned under the soil.
		The seed is planted at uniform intervals in either small clumps ("hill-dropped") or singularly ("drilled") dropped into the the soil.
		Machines called cultivators are used to uproot weeds and grass, which battle with the cotton plant for soil nutrients, sunlight, and water.

	B1083 Insecticide Trials for Control of Tarnished Plant Bug on Cotton
		In the annual cotton insect loss reports published in the Proceedings of the Beltwide Cotton conferences, tarnished plant bugs were listed as the second most important cotton pests in Mississippi during 1984 and 1989, and the third most important in 1980, 1983, 1988, 1990, and 1991-1993.
		Losses attributed to the tarnished plant bug may well continue to increase in the future as boll weevil and budworm are reduced as threats to Mississippi cotton and coincidental control of tarnished plant bug by treatments targeting those two insect species declines.
		Plant bugs used in sleeve-cage and spray-chamber trials were usually collected from wild host plants by use of sweep nets.

		Cotton square and/or boll counts can be made by marking off a 10-foot segment of row, counting all squares and/or bolls in that distance, and using Table 2 to calculate the yield estimate on a per acre basis.
		The relationship between pest level, amount of damage, and ability of the cotton plant to compensate for insect damage is greatly influenced by crop phenology and seasonal weather.

		Plants use light as a signal that enables them to compete with their surroundings.

	Plant Patent is a source of information about plant variety protection
		The purpose of the proposed legislation is to amend the plant patent provisions of the Patent Act by adding a subsection that would, in effect, provide a 10-year grace period for applying for plant patents.
		The PTO seems to be now prepared to reject a plant patent application if the claimed variety is described in a publication and publicly available more than one year prior to the plant patent application filing date, even in a foreign country.
		Existing pending plant patent applications may receive rejections based on the new PTO examination practice and it may be necessary to appeal such rejections to the PTO Board of Appeals.

	The Living Edens "Manu" -- Flora: Plants
		The common name for this plant comes from Quechua, the language of the Incas, and means "vine of the soul." The Machiguenga name Kamarampi means "medicine of vomiting" due to the powerful purgative properties of this bitter plant.
		Since the plant is used for such a wide range of conditions, it was once dismissed as being mere superstition.
		The Machiguenga name for the plant means "bitter leaf." Traditionally used by indigenous peoples of the Amazon as a poison for hunting animals, curare is the natural source of the drug d-tubocurarine, a muscle relaxant that revolutionized modern surgery.

	Plant bugs changing insect control
		Cotton producers in Arkansas have seen tremendously high populations of tarnished plant bugs this year, and insecticide treatments were made weekly in many areas trying to control the pest, says entomologist Gus Lorenz.
		Mississippi cotton consultant Herbert Jones, says some of his grower-customers sprayed for tarnished plant bugs as late as Sept. 1 this year, and he thinks it made a difference in their harvested yields.

		Dosi spent the next two decades raising cotton, chile, and alfalfa the conventional way, relying heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides that he mixed himself out of concern for his employees.
		High OM retains soil moisture, and allows Dosi to plant cotton and chile in two rows per bed instead of the conventional one row per hill, cutting in half the number of furrows in each field and thus reducing the amount of water needed to irrigate the furrows.
		Saving their own cotton and chile seeds helps Alvarez Farm comply with organic seed regulations, and is even more crucial now that the genetic modification industry is developing a Bt Pima cotton.
