that the readdressing OF the envelopes

view to fixing a variety that will be
better adapted to harvesting with the

IT Is 4 HUMBUG,
THE SC-CALLED JACKSON LEAFlESS
OR AFRICAN COTTON.

what tine Director OF the Georgia State
Experimental Station Says About 1t
Our Farmers Should Let 1t Severely
Alone.
TIE following report from the Geor-
gia Experiment Station on the so call
ed "Jacksons Limbless Cotton" which
has been SO extensively advertised in
some OF the papers Will be read with
interest:
This Station has received a number
OF inquiries from the farmers end 9th
ers in regard to the reriis Of the so
called ''Jackson's Lin bless Cotton"
and as similar inquiries will probably
be received in the future, it has been
thought best to give the desired infcr
nation in this form, Aside from this
consideration, however, and in the ab-
sence OF any inquiries of this nature,
it is the duty of the Stations to give
information to the farmers in regard
10 the ''capacity OF new plants or trees
for acclimation," and in general to
give to the farmers the results of
such other researches and expert
ments bearing directly on the agricul-
ture of the United States as may be
deemed advisabbls." This so.called
"Jackson's Limbless Cotton" was first
brought before the public, under this
name, in the fall OF 1896. It was said
to have sprung from seeds obtained in
1895 in Central Africa. It vas claimed
thatit belonged to new genus; that It
would produce four to six tales Of lint
per acre on ordinary upland; that the
lint is extra long, fine and strong, etc.
The cIsim OF African origin, and that
it is Of new genus of Gosypium.
seems to have been abandoned, and
the schedule of its merits is as follows:
This cotton has become famous
throughout the cotton gro ring world,
and it seems destined 1c work revo.
luton in the cotton business.
(D Itis entirely limbless.
~ The stalk grows from 10 to Il
feet high.
81 The fbre is incom parably the
finest in the world.
(O The fibre is remarkably strong
and one and half inches long, psr-
fectly white. and has a satin like
touch.
(5) We have four acres in cultiva-
ton this season, and expert cotton
growers say that we will get twenty
bales from the four acres-:hat is five
bales to the acre.
(6) 1t is the most prolific cotton in
the world"
The price first fixed for seeds OF this
'Limbless" was SL00 per 100 seeds,
or 81. so per 500 seeds. At ST. 90 per
100 seeds one pound would cost $50 90,
and one bushel sl,S00.00! The price
has recently been reduced to $500 per
pound Of seed, or $4,000 per bushel!'
The above are the claims put for
war6 for this remarkable cotton by its
promoters. After considerable diff.
Guilty the Director succeeded in getting
q small quantity of the seed (of un.
questioned purity and they were
planted in direct competition with
twenty other varieties comprising the
S5ation,s Variety Test" OF course
all the conditions affecting the twenty
one varieties were made precisely the
same as far as practicable. The fol
lowing table gives the total yield per
acre Of each one of the twenty one va
rieties, up to October 6, which was the
date of the third picking:
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1897-10-27


The final pickings will probably
make material change in the rank OF
s,me OF the varieties; but it is not
probable that No. 10 will be material
ly changed.
Very soon after the cotton COM
menced to limb and square, and each
variety to develop whatever was pc
culiar to itself, it was suspected that
the jackson Lin bless was either
Identical with certain old variety, or
closely: related to it. After the bolls
commenced to open the Director be-
came satisfied that the so-represented
new, ''limbless" variety, was Identical
with the old variety above alluded to-.
viz: 'Welborn's Pet" which was
grown on this Station in 1890 and
1892. Correspondence with the origi.
nator of ''Welborn's Pet" vsriety, and
exchange of sections of stalks, con-
frned this conclusion of the identity
Of the so. called lin bless" with Wei
oorn's Pet" in the judgment OF both
Mr. Welborn and the Director.
It is therefore confidently affirmed
that ''Jacksons Limbless Cotton" and
"Welborn's Pet" are one and the
same variety.
"Welborn's Pet" has been before the
people for 10 or IL years.
Now for the; specific claims made for
the Jackson Limbless" by its promo
ters, before enumerated:
O. 1t is not entirely lin but
is Inclined to produce several (often
five Or siy) long branches from near
the ground. When very closely
crowded in the drill, however, many
stalks will be without these limbs, and
their normal tendency (as with "clus,
ter" cottons generally 10 grow tall IS
much increased.
(2) The stalks grow from Is to 20
rer cent taller than most ordinary
varieties On the same soil. On exceed
iDgly rich soil, such as rich ailuvial,
Or very highly manured spot, they
may attain z insight Of 10, II or even
Il feet

but nothing extraordinary. 1t does
not compare az all with Sea Island,

command a higher price than the Or

CUBA SHALL Be FREE.
The Patriots Win Have This or the war
viii Go Ga.

e III So Ssb.
Three Cuban patriots direct from the
scene of the terrible struggle On the
island have been in St. Louis the last
twenty days procuring and shipping
ammunition for their conpatriots.
Their work is at last completed and
they have left for Cuba. One OF them
is authority for the statement that dur
ing their stay they have purchased
and forwarded to Texas port 1855. coo
worth of cartridges, dynamite, rifles !,
pistols and saddlery intended for the
insurgent army. Two expeditions
conveying these supplies have sailed
from a Texas port between the city or
Bagdad and Port Galveston and in
the Caribbean Sea viii meet two other
expeditions that Sunday night set sail
from New York. The Cuban agents
are Col. Geo. Johnston, OF the stuff Of
Gen. Carlos Rolof. Col. Eduard Bet
ancourt and Capt. e. 4. Smith. Col.
Johnston who was interviewed by a
reporter, said:
''Our mission has been to buy sup
plies for the department Of the east.
Owing to quarantine we could 90
nothing at Key West, and cane to St.
Louis. We have accomplished our
mission here by the purchase OF S225,-
900 worth OF ammunition and the
like"
Col. Johnston cortirusd on the
subject OF Cuba:
Autonomy? No. Nothing but
absolute freedom! We have $4,000
men under arms in Cuba. Virtually
the whole island, except Eaoana, Ma.
tanzas and Cienfuegos, is in cur hands.
We could take Habana by means Of
dynamite, but we would have to no.
tify the foreign consuls, who, OF
course, would notify the enemy, else
we should blow up our friends.
"At meeting OF representatives OF
the whole army Of tae east and OF the
west as late as Oct. / at Holquin, at
which I was present, and which has
rot vet been mentioned in the papers,
it was reiterated that Cuba woula &C.
cept nothing but absolute freedom. 1t
is a waste of time for the United States
70 deal with Spain relative to granting
Autonomy or anything else short OF
absolute freedom. What we want Of
the United States is the granting OF
bell;gerent right. With that, in less
than 70 hours we would have out OF
the various ports of the United States
~ vessels flying the Cuban flag.
Before the American congress
meets again there will be events which
we hope will compel congress to re-
cognize US. We have been on the de-
fensive heretofore. Nov We are on
the offensive. We begin to retaliate.
The armies OF the east and west are
about to'consolidate They will short

na will be assailed. We are about to
