The farmers of Mississippi are
selecting better grades of seed for
planting purposes. This is partic-
ularly true of cotton seed, and in
many sections Of the State much
care is being used in buying only
those grades of seed that have been
proven Of merit by actual test. Cot
ton buyers report that the average
grade Of cotton raised in the State
during the past two years shows
much improvement, and a further
betterment may be expected for the
coming season if the many adver-
tisements Of select grades of seed
and reports of sales made can be
taken as an indication. The same
is true Of seed corn and other classes
Of agricultural products.
