一.從新時期来看這個問題 棉花的整枝,是我們學習蘇聯先進經驗重要的一着,是棉花豐產重要條件之一。我們勞動農民,在解放前也有過整枝的手續,但意義没有今天來得明確。過去的整枝是在舊的生產條件下進行的,因為地力瘠薄,耕作法不精細,所以整枝對於增產的效力不顯著;又因為不能和密植相結合,舊式整杖法,每畝只種棉花一千多株,每株上的果杖因整杖及種植而延長到六、七節,上部果枝長,下部果枝短,像傘的形狀,這種棉花只有延遲成熟,而不能收到提早成熟的效果。因為豐產與早熟的效果都不明顯,所以過去許多試驗場的工作者根據局部的結果,對於整枝抱懷疑態度, I. The pruning of cotton on this issue in the new period is an important one for us to learn the advanced experience of the Soviet Union and one of the important conditions for the cotton yield. We working peasants also had pruning procedures before the liberation, but the significance has not been clear today. Past pruning was carried out under the old conditions of production. Because of the poor fertility and the poor farming practices, the pruning effect on insignificant yield was insignificant. Because of the inability to combine with close planting, More than a thousand strains of each cane on the stalk and planted to extend to six or seven, the upper branch of fruiting branches, fruiting branches of the lower part of the short, like an umbrella shape, this cotton only delayed maturity, but can not receive early maturity effect. Because the effects of high yield and precocious are not obvious, so in the past many test site workers skeptical of the whole branch according to the local results,
