A NEW COTTON PLANT.
A Hybrid that Will Produce Nothing
But Seed.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Nov News comes
from Spartanburg, one of the best cotton
growing counties in this state, of a
new cotton plant, which, if it is as claimed,
will make a wonderful revolution in the ag-
ricultural and cotton oil interests of the
nation. I. Ferguson, an experienced cot
ton planter, claims TO have hybrid, a cot
ton plant which will produce nothing but
cotton seed without the lint. He claims
that there are male and female cotton
plants, the male being designated, he thinks,
by the red stalks.
vARI-CoLoRED SEEDS.
The seeds are vari-colored, the shades
being generally blue. green and white, and,
of o Jurse, cannot be disinctiyely specified.
Given this fact, MIR. Ferguson commenced
some time ago 10 pick out the male plants,
and with the seed extracted from them
planted another patch separately. When
this crop was ready for picking the male
plants were again selected and their pro-
duction of seeds planted separately again.
This process of selecting the male plants
was kept up, until at last the lint refuses to
terminate, and nothing is left in the bolls
save large amount of seeds.
THE YIELD.
The amount of seed contained in the boil
| is more than equal to the weight of the lint
| and seed found in the average sized boil of
| cotton MIR. Ferguson claims that he can
produce 400 bushels of seed to the acre by
this new discovery where only thirty-five
bushels are now gathered with the lint. He
has been very careful in producing the
results given above to obliterate all vestiges
of lint from boil of cotton, and has sue
| ceeded In most remarkable manner.
WHAT OTHER PLANTERS THINK.
Other experienced planters have been
shown Mr.. Ferguson's new discovery, and
are much struck with it. An expert, who
was shown the plant and bolls, said the
| boil has the appearance, both ON the exte-
rlor and in the interior, of regular boil of
cotton after the lint has been picked out.
The seed are a little larger than the COM
mon cotton seed, and are perfectly free
from any semblance to lint. The bolls arc
nlled with these seed, which are as numer-
GUS as okra seed in a pod of okra
| WILL EFFECT REVOLUTION.
The revolution that will be effected by
this new cotton plant, if it can be cultI
waited successfully, will be beyond calcula-
tion. If Mr.. Ferguson's calculations are
correct, the cotton oil business will be en-.
tirely revolutionized The planters who
now raise cotton are fortunate il they can
make 200 pounds of lint cotton to the
| acre. Counting the value of cottor
seed, $50 an acre is considered {
big return to cotton planters in this state.
Mr.. Ferguson claims that his new colt n
seed plant will yield at least 800 an acre
This amount, he says, will be obtained from
400 bushels of cotton seed at 20 cents Del
bushel, that being the present price paid fol
the raw seed. The state agricultural bureau
will investigate the matter.
