BREEDING OF COTTON
EXCERPTS FROM REF JRT OF B
 T. GALLOWAY.
Chief of the Bureau of Plant Indus
 try Tells of Efforts to I'm .j C prove the Yield of the .4.s,. s4 Staple. ~
Advertiser Bureau.
 Colorado Building,

Colorad0 Building,
 The report of B. T. Galloway, Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry Of the De- partment of Agriculture for 1903. which has just come from the press, contains the following relative to efforts to inn- prove cotton breeding:
 The greatest problem in cotton breed Ing IS to secure new races of long-stap,e uplands cotton giving good yield com parable with those of ordinary upland races and being thoroughly adapted to growth in upland cotton regions. The demand for long staple cotton is con- stantly increasing and the extension of cultivation in areas where such cotton can now be grown can not long supply the demand.
 Tt Is thus of the greatest importance tnal tnese experiments be pushed as rapidly as possible. The long staple up- land sorts as now cultivated are Night ylelders and have a rather weak fiber and tuffed or fuzzy seeds, so that they can. not be satisfactorily ginned on a roller gin. If gtnned on a saw gin the fiber is more or less torn or injured. By hybrid tzing the fine long-staple Sea Island cot ton. which has smooth black seeds wIth the big-bolled, short-stapled upland sorts, which have fuzzy seeds, 1t Is hoped to pro quce new upland sorts. having big bolls. Deing easy to pick, and having black seeds and long, strong lint.
 Some 40,0Q0 hybr1ds have ben grown In the course of these experiments. and SSNOA"A " pSc nave DSSn S6lecIeQ which. In general, give promise of meeting the requirements. These plants are being carefully selected and bred into fixed types. and 1t is confidently expected thai some of these will produce valuable new sorts. It Is highly desirable to secure good varieties possessing the qualities mentioned above and having fiber rang Ing from l-4 to 3-4 inches in lengfIl. This requires the selection of number or varieties, each having fiber very uni- iormly Of the same length, and several different types are therefore being bred with hbers of different average lengths. but in all cases longer than that of or- dinary upland cotton.
 Besides the production of new races Dy hybridization, much can be accomp- lished by a straight selection of the best long-staple races now existing, particu- iarly with reference to length and strength of staple Experiments of this kind have also been inaugurated, the aim being ultimately to secure highly improv- ed pedigree seed for distribution.
 Another important line of work which Is receiving considerable attention is the Introduction and establishment of Egyp- tan cotton growing In this country There IS annually imported about 6. .500.O0O worth h of this cotton and the demand for staple or this character is rapidly increasing,

 imported strains are being tested and bred in Georgia. South Carolina. Missis- sippf. Texas. New Mexico, Arizona and southern California. Samples of the dber have been submitted to competent author tiles for expert opinion as to quality and value. and actual manizfacturing tests 0f the fiber are being made. While there are some failures, the product fin many ln- stances is pronounced equal to the best imported fiber. The present indications favor the belief that we will ultimately be able toSsecure varieties fully adapted 10 cultivation in this country.
 Tn the breeding of disease-resistant cotton. very important and marked re- suits have been attained. particularly with sorts resistant of wilt or back heart. These points, however, are fully discussed under other heads. From study of the conditions 1t seems possible that varieties can be originated which will be resistant in some degree to the cot ton-root rot and to the much-feared boil wsvil Work on these two problems have been started in small way>and should be pushed. In order to avoid injury by the boil weeviI, as shown by the work of the Division of Entomology, varieties ma turing earlier than those now existing should be produced While this is very important and investigations with this ob- feet in view are strongly urged by grow CTS. it has thus far been impossible to un- dertake the work"

THE KNEISEL QUARTET
IN MEMORIAL HALL

Lovers of music in its purest form filled
Memorial Hall last night to hear the
kneisel Quartet Of Boston In a typical
programme. The concert was given under
the auspices of the Union Musical Club of
6t. Louis. 1t was an event JusttyinS the
kneenest artistic interest.
The players composing this organization
are almost above criticism as artists un'1i
the close Of the present season they were
members Of the Boston Symphony Orches-
ira. from which they have now resigned
In order to make longer American tour
than has been their wont. and to revisit
Europe In the near future. For years they
have stood as the best of their kind in this
country. In the musical circles Of the O.d
World they rank with the best.
OF the three compositions Interpreted by
them st night, perhaps the most distinct
ly satisfactory treatment was accorded the
Beethoven quartet In minor. Op. 69 No. 2.
which was the third and last on the pro-
gramme. In this there was revealed more
fully than seemed attainable In the other
numbers the ultimate achievement possible
to such an organization. The deiicacy and
significance of one Of the most characters
tic Beethoven scores were developed with a
sympathy and understanding not to be sur
passed. and the varying phases Of the sew
eral movements were given with utter
truthfulness and most convincing Bin
cerity.
Little less pleasing. however. was the
opening number the quaint and elaborately
wrought Won Dlttersdorf Quartet in E-fiat
major. a composition calling for the high
est musicianly treatment. OF this perhaps
the most satisfying work was done in the
allegro and andante movements. which were
played in a spirit Of the completest COM
prehension and with a mastery o. effects
not to be gained save through years of de-
votion and Of congenial and unbroken
quartet service Indeed, the prime delight
OF the evening. as always when one hears
the kneisel organization. was to note the
perfect response Of each instrument and the
exquisite balance of the whole. 1t is worth
while to spend a lifetime in faithful striv-
ing for arts sake II the crowning result is
such as now rewards these players.
Between the two compositions already
mentioned. and completing the programme,
came Schubert's posthumous work, the un-
finished quartet in minor. with its one
allegro assai movement. This all too brief
work was finely presented. so delicately as
to intensity the regret which fingers In the
soul of the listener because of its uncom-
pleted theme One could almost imagine
something OF wistfulness in the applause
at its close. There were no encores, the in
tegrity of the carefully arranged pro-
gramme being insured by rigid adherence
to Its announced numbers. The players were
repeated recalled after each Interpretation.
They have never been heard to better ad-
vantage in ST. Louis.
