Washington, Ca, dispatch: P. G.. Ware
of this county is the fortunate discoverer
of what is believed to be a new variety of
cotton, and what promises to change the
whole condition of the cotton raising coun-
tries. He brought into Washington two
stalks of this wonderful cotton, measur-
Ing five feet in hight, and loaded with fruit
from top to bottom. Each stalk contained
no less than IS to 100 bolls. and was es-
timated TO make at least four bales 10 the
acre by several prominent and experienced
cotton raisers. person could take two
hands and cover twenty-seven bolls. The
fiber was long and silky in texture, and
would command higher prices on the
market than ordinary staple Mr.. Ware
has about two acres planted in this won
derful cotton. and expects a large yield.
1t was planted after oats, and with no
manure. 1t did not have a fair show
with the rest of his crop but is the finest
cotton on his farm. IT was developed from
a single stalk of cotton which MIR. Ware
found about two years ago growing in a
large field of cotton of the Peterkin vari-
ely. 1t was growing straight up with the
bolls not more than two inches from the
stalk all the way to the top, and heavily
fruited. He saved the seed from this
stalk and now has two acres of the same
variety of cotton. Many believe now that
Mr.. Jackson started his cotton just as Mr.
Ware did his. and all that tale about its
coming from Africa is merely a myth. II
is conceded that Mr.. Ware Is a fortunate
man, and will probably make a fortune
cut of his discovery.
