! SELECT YOUR SEED
COTTON THIS FALL

Be Sure to Secure Good Strain by
Getting a Variety That‘Has Proved
Its Ability to Give Good Yields.
To succeed with a crop, the grower
must use the best methods of tillage
! and fertilization, and in order to ob
tain maximum results from tillage
and fertilization, he must use im
proved farm seed. By using improved
cotton seed,, selected from a variety
known to do well in a given locality,
the grower may increase his cotton
yield per acre even though the acre
age has been cut down.
Secure Good Strain.
No pne variety of cotton is best for
all soils and all climatic conditions*
No single variety has maintained
first place year after year at any ex
periment station. Select a variety of
cotton that will give a high yield of
lint per acre, will set fruit early and
mature early, one that has a good
length of fiber, one that has medium
to large bolls, one that will hold the
tint in the burr, and one that, provid
ed the cotton does not fall out, is easy
to pick. Whatever variety is used, if
no method of selection is followed,
your cotton will become poorer each
year. If a good strain of cotton is ob
tained, selection must be practiced in
order to hold it up to maximum
yields.
Select Your Plants.
The farmer should, during the
growing season, watch his crop and
pick out the vigorous plants here and
there tagging them so that these
plants may be easily located at
the time of picking. When se
lecting plants, keep the following
qualities in mind: High yield of lint
per acre, early setting of fruit and
early maturity, long fiber with a view
of a better price per pound, medium
to large bolls to facilitate picking,
ability to hold cotton in the burr in
spite of wind and rain, ease of pick
ing and trueness to type.
With a sack and a reliable picker,
the grower should go into the field
just ahead of the regular pickers and
pick the cotton from the selected
plants. Pick the cotton from the
lower two-thirds of the plant, and pick
enough to furnish seed sufficient for
the next year’s crop.
Avoid Admixture of Seed.
When the selected cotton is gin
ned, be sure that the gin rolls are
thoroughly cleaned. Do not let the
seed pass through the chute, but allow
them to fall out onto the floor in
front of the gin, by this means insur
ing no admixture of seed. It is im
possible to blow out all the seed from
the chutes through which the gin-run
seed pass.
vastly, store these seed in a dry
place. Experiments show that seed
are not injured when stored in small
lots.—M. S. Baker, Assistant Agro
nomist, College of Agriculture and
Experiment Station, Fayetteville.
THEY LOST MANY CATTLE
BUT STILL REFUSE TO DIP
A Few, But Very Few, Grant County
Farmers Oppose Installation
of Vats.
“We have a real live interest in
Grant county in canning of vegetables
and fruit for home use,” said W. C.
Vickry, county agricultural agent.
“Six months ago there was scarcely
a home canner to be found. We have
one merchant here in Sheridan who |
has ordered and delivered to farmers ,
about fourteen of these canners up to
date. He is selling^ the Williams can- 1
ncr. The people of Grant county are
determined to have more to eat, and
also more home raised feed for stock.
I believe from what I get from
farmers over the county that there
is a 50 per cent increase in potatoes
for home use, and I am sure that
there will be sorghum enough for the
home if nothing happens to the crop.
While this is true and there is a
slight reduction in the cotton acre
age, the crop is being worked better
than usual, and we hope to make a
thoroughly good yield from that crop.
In his last report to the Extension
Division of the University of Arkan
sas, Mr. Vickry said that the farmers
of Grant county are fighting the fever
Texas tick as they never did before.
Several cattle, he says, died recently,
and reports are coming in almost
daily of deaths from cattle tick fever
in various sections of the county, and
that farmers are using the rumors to
influence others to take hold of the
movement through a systematic or
ganization. “We organized recently
a farmers’ club at Erin, which,
through its committee, has gone to
work to locate a place to build a dip
ping vat for their cattle. Some farm
ers who have lost stock from the
Texas fever tick oppose the installa
tion of the dipping vat.
Sow Rye in Cotton Rows.
Plan to grow a cover crop of rye on
your cotton land this fall. It can be
done, and you will be improving your
soil. How? By preventing the wash
ing of the land and the washing out
of the fertilizing elements and by add
ing organic matter to the soil, thus
loosening the soil and making avail
able the plant food.
WHAT MAKES A GIRL POPULAR?
Every girl has the perfect nat
ural desire to be popular with the
other sex, and every girl is inter
ested in knowing the secret of
such popularity. Some girls have
the idea that the way to have a
good time is to break away from
the recognized rules of social life. ,
The free-iand-easy, reckless type
of girl may receive a good deal
of attention of a certain kind,
but is safe to say that men do not j
really care for such a girl. Cer
tainly they do not have any re- '
spect for her. They may enjoy
a summer flirtation with her, but .
such a girl never enters seriously
into their thoughts. The girl ,
who is kind and thoughtful to 1
her parents is the girl whom they
admire. The girl who is disre
spectful to her parents will not J
long retain the respect ot others. *
Men know very well that a girl ,
who deceives her mother cannot
be trusted. A good daughter has J
in her the making of a good wife, T
and a man remembers this when
he begins to think seriously of £
matrimony. —Leslie’s Magazine. *
