SEEDING FOR COTTON.
Success Depends Largely on Choice of
Seed

Guthrie, o. T. Aug. tone OF the
greatest drawbacks TO successful cotton
culture in oklahoma is the almost abso-
lutte lack OF system in the matter Of
seed selection. IL no more effort were
made 10 select good seed corn than is
usually made in the choice OF cotton seed
for planting. tAe yield snd quality Of
the product would be very unsxtisfac-
tory"
Thus spoke Secretary Thoburn. or the
Territorial Board Of Agriculture. this
morning. in reply TO inquiries concerning
the cotton condition and prospects OF
the cotton crop in oklahoma this year.
Continuing. Mr.. Thoburn said:
The usual method is TO plant the seed
regardless of quality. quite thickly in the
row. and later on. after the plants have
come up, to so through the field with
hoe and chop out ali superhuous plants.
aiming, if possible. TO leave the strongest
and most vigorous plants growing at reg
ular intervals in the row. Sometimes and.
indeed. not infreqUently. Il happens that
a weak. puny plant must be left 70 pre-
serve the interval. and these serve 20
reduce the aggregate yield Of the field.
"A
reason why inferior cotton seed should
be planted that there Is 10 warrant the
planting Of ill-fosmed or unmatured seed
corn.
~ prominent resident Of one Of the cot
ton-growing counties OF Oklahoma was
talking with me on this subject the other
eay. He stated that the fault was largely
on the part Of the ginners; that. instead
OF saving the first and best seed. which
is ginned early in the season. Il was In
variably sold 20 oil mills while he seed
from later pickines. including that Of
the frost-bitten b3lIs. Is saved up and
sold out to planters from which 10 grow
the next seasons crop. Often. too. the
seed has been cared for very Indi1sr-
emily. allowed to become damp. heated
and mouidy in storage. thus greatly re-
Gucinz the percentage of vitality. The
corn-breeder advises that seed corn D.
selected at picking time II II Ia desired 20
grow more bushels from fewer acres
Growing cotton for seed is practiced sue
cessfulIy by n few planters and their
example Is worthy % the general eTnnis-
ton which their uniform success should
inspire.
Last spring the cotton farmers ard
planters or Oklahoma paid the giHners al
the rate Of 80 and a. per ton for Gotten
seed, when the casa value OF the saFDe for
commercial purposes toi mill dcnaDd).
was only sis per ton. There - q splendid
opportunity here FOR the seed dealers 20
make q specially OF saving and selling
cotton seed of an approved standard Of
vitality and general quality. The hrnit
Of productive capacity cannot be reached
under a method Of seed selection which. IN
any other line OF husbandry. would surely
lead TO deterioration The cotton planters
must learn 70 plant the bert seed. u they

STATEHOOD

DOUBTFUL
Protests Against Plan Have
Been Filed.
BAXTER TALKS ABOUT 1T
Is a Practical Question and
Should Be Taught
BAXTER TALKS ABOUT II

Guthrie, o. T.. Aug. At is considered
very improbable that a statehood text
book will be prepared for use IN the pub
lie schools by. or under the direction Of
the territorial board of education. The
matter has been under discussion for
some time and the protest against such
plan have been made 10 Governor Fergu-
son and members OF the board Of educa-
tion When seen today Superintendent
that the schools should be more practical; +;
that inasmuch as statehood is now the
question of primary Importance and is
discussed by every body. and he had sug-
of civics the coming year the constitu-
tional provision for statehood, the history
OF the admission of each state in the past
and the process or formula for the con-
struction of state constitution. and the
mode OF putting it into execution.
This was to be done from an absolutely
non-partisan standpoint. There was pos
itively no intention to drag in the ques-
tion of single or double statehood. The
great question of statehood for Oklahoma
is OF vital Importance to our future well
fare, and it was desired that the boys
and girls should become more converse MT
with the responsibilities of citizenship.
LAS the information for such a training
has not been collected into definite and
succinct form, the suggestion was made
that some competent persons within the
territory be requested to put this infor-
st-% 10

ers and pupils" said Superintendent Bax-
ter. This work would be suggestive
only and not made compulsory or man
datory. 1t was never the Intention or
thought to force anw parent TO purchase
a single copy; indeed such thing could
not be done.
The newspaper talk that such plan
was melted by any school textbook pub
fishing house, and for its profit or bene-
fit, is a mere fiction. an idyiiic and ole
aginous lie. No school textbook pub
fishers have ever been considered. much
less consulted.
This is not entirely a new idea Many
enterprising teachers have discussed
the subject In their schools for several
years past. No uniform action. however,
has been taken. The suggestion embodied
a systematic plan on the part OF the
teachers. II must be distinctly borne in
mind that only those things were to be
taught which concerned the people as a
whole and which are devoid OF all parti-
san or political complexion. If II be i'm
possible 10 study the subject from con-
stitutional and historical standpoint,
without dragging in the ghost OF politics,
it would be far better never to discuss
it. The American public school is not
the place TO develop and nourish party
strife and prejudice.
