Selecting Cotton Seed.
Every farmer recognizes the im
portance of keeping pure bred ani
mals for breeding purposes. He
knows if he uses scrubs scrub off- ;
springs will be the results.
But there he usually stops. He
seems to overlook the fact that
'tm"1'scrubs! jlk />f fccatton
will produce more scrub stalks.
Vet ‘‘like begets like” just as faith- j
fully in the vegetable kingdon as in
the animal. By applying this law
the plant wizard. Luther Burbank,
has even succeeded in breeding the
thorns off the cactus plant.
By selecting seed from the best
cotton stalks in the field and keep
ing this free from mixture with
low grade seed any farmer can add
from 150 to 300 pounds to the
acre to the yield of his cotton crop.
The originators of all our improved
varieties of cotton, such as Me
bane’s Triumph. King's Improved,
Simpkins Early, Money Maker,
etc., accomplished their groat re
sults in this way.
Go through the field shortly Be
fore beginning the first picking and
select the stalks conforming more
nearly to the ideal type. These
stalks should be compact, spread
ing. conical in form, heavily fruited
and free from disease. They
should have short joints in the
main stem and fruit limbs first
fruit limbs near the ground, well
developed bolls and strong fiber.
All stalks selected should be
marked so that they will be recog
nized when the pickers reach them.
Pickers can be sent ahead to pick
these selected stalk, but a better
and more economical method is to
provide each picker with two bags
- a large one for the common cot
ton. a smaller one for the selected
cotton. This cotton should be
carefully kept to itself and should
be ginned to itself.
To handle the ginning feature*,
effectively and economically co
operation between the farmers and
ginners will be required. The gin
stands will have to be run clear of
other cotton before the selected
cotton is started through. But the
ginner cannot afford to take this
trouble every day and at any time
selected cotton chances to be
brought to the gin. The only
feasible plan, therefore, is for the
farmers and the ginners to have an
understanding whereby the ginner
will agree to set aside a day or part
of a day once a week or once in
two weeks for ginning planting
seed if the farmers will agree t<
bring in their selected cotton or
those days. The ginner can well
afford to do this for he will profit
equally with his patrons from the
resulting increase in the cotton
yield.
This plan was tried with very
satisfactory results oy the Drew
Oil Mills at Monticello. This com
pany operates a gmery and they
set aside Monday of each week fo
ginning planting seed. They state
that many of the farmers took ad
vantage of this plan and that the
results are showing up in prospects
of big yields of cotton this year.

Providence is being good to the
people in this year of grace 1912
I perhaps with the idea of seeing
1 how they will appreciate it. Taken
as a whole the grain crops will be
i about the best ever, unless "some
thing happens.” The agricultural
department estimates the corn
crop at 2.810.000.000 bushels,
which would beat all records ex
cept for the years f906 and 1910
The wheat crop, put at 680,000
000 bushels, will be the fifth in
size in 20 years.
Oats will surpass all previous
figures and run about 1,207,000.
000 bushels and rye 35.000,000
bushels, thus breaking the records.
Of potatoes we should have about
370.000.000 bushels which will
be very close to the record crop of
three years ago and there ought
to be enough to go around at this
rate. Buckwheat is also fine and
| we shall have 16,000,000 bush I
1 to go into cakes. The tobacco
iyield will be about 980.000.00C
I pounds; rice 23.000 000 pounds.
The damp-weather has made a
great hay crop and the total cut
will be 73.000.000 tons.
