Varieties of Cotton.
tertainlnent.

Southern Farmer.
While the average cotton planter
may pay but little attention to the
kind Of seed he uses in planting,
there are some who give this matter
great attention, and, by careful Sc
lection Of the best varieties, secure
better prices for the higher grades
Of cotton they thus produce. 1t is
certainly just as important in cotton
culture-to plant good seed as it is
in raisirg hogs or cattle I" utilize
the best strains of animals for the
purpose desired. The wonderful
rapidity with which Texas and the
Southwest generally has gone into
the white faced Hereford cattle in
dicates the extreme anxiety OF the
cattle raisers there to produce the
cattle best suited to the demand,
and it seems strange that our cot
ton planters should not also be
equally careful in selecting the best
kinds of cotton seed for planting.
If this were done it would be found
that the standard of the cotton crop
would gradually improve and in
this way we would maintain a sue
cessful competition with the rest of
the cotton world longer than we
can if we neglect this precaution. 4
Nankeen, or yellow cotton, was
once favorite variety. 1t seems
tn have taken its Lame from the
Chinese city OF Nankin, whence
yellow cotton cloth was originally
imported. The Oklahoma Agrlcul-
tural Experiment Station, in a re-
cent bulletin, states that consider
able yellow, or Nankeen cotton,
has been produced in that territory
this season, and that j, is an un
desirable variety and sells for a
cent and half less than white cot
ton.
In our own State, Col. F. l.
Maxwell, one Of gu, coadjutors in
the work of The Southern Farmer,
has for ears been planting special
varieties of long staple cotton, and
he believes that the results have
been very satisfactory, and far bet
ter than had he followed the old
plan f using common seed AS
cotton planting will be in order one
OF these days, we advise our fellow
farmers to look into this cotton
seed question, and select only tho
best varieties for planting.

A Fight Against Mtlitarism.

1AOoSSOu OSl.
There have been few occasions in
the senate or house at Washington
when a resort TO filibusterlng had
greater justification than the obstruc-
tive tactics which are now being
brought into play in the senate
against the army reorganization bill.
The necessity for big regular
army in this country does not exist
at present, and the senator's who are
attempting to prevent the passage of
a bill that would fasten the burden
upon us and fix the principle in our
public policy are patriots and the
friends of the people.
A necessity may exist for the main
tenance of volunteer contingent in
the army for year or two years
longer. This necessity ought not in
fact to be seen, but the nation, as
Mr.. Hanna says, has endorsed the
administrators Philippine policy of
conquest, and theusands, of soldiers
will be required to completely subju-
gate the natives and restore good
order. While the opponent of the
army bill, therefore, do not approve
the administrations Philippine pol
icy, yet, as the nation mas Endorsed
it, they are willing to continue the
volunteer army for two years longer
and to maker a1 army large. en.ugh

to accomplish the thorough pacifica-
ton of the Philippines.
This sis saH the concession these
senator's who are opposing the in
crease of the regular army could b.:
expected to make. The administra-
ton can get all the men it wants for
an emergency. Then, when the ex-
,stinR conditions have been changed,
the question of a greater standing
army could be calmly considered by
both the country and congress, and
such action taken as non partisan
craftsmanship might determine.
Standing upon solid ground OF
this kind Messrs. Teller, Bacon and
PettigrewshaveSth the better of the ar.
gument and are right in adopting
whatever tactics may be necessary,
that sre Permitted by the rules OF
the senate, to thwart the schemes
of those who would use a temporary
emergency to fasten permanen,
large military establishment upon
the country. 1t is fight aga,ns'
pure nlilitarism.

come to them, in matters Of sucl

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The committee on Roads, Rivers and
Bridges have reported adversely on the
bill concerning side paths for wheel.
men, bill rejected.
On Wednesday of last week the COM
mittee on Appropriation gave hear
ing on the bill providing for general
state appropriation of $500, 900 for good
roads. The hearing was largely at
tended and 35 or more state officers,
representatives, and prominent men
from all parts of the state spoke in favor
of the bill. There was no opposition.
Among the speakers was Highway Com
missioner Macdonald. He said that at
first the whole thing was an experiment
and it took several years before the
question could be intelligently handled
He had attended LOG different town
meetings in the state and every one of
the towns appropriated for good roads,
and only six towns in the state had ever
refused the state appropriation. He
believed the good roads would work a
great benefit and he hoped the appro-
priation of $500. 900 would be made.
