Of Cotton.

The boil weevil has educated the
planters to the fact that they must

plant or that insect will destroy one
third of the present product. Educat-
ed breeders of plants are now engaged
In hybridizing the earliest cotton
plants, and good results are antici-
pated, and in some places already re-
allied. Prof. Bennett, of Texas col
lege, has learned that es-ly cottons
have short joints, and the first fruit
limbs are near the ground; that late
cottons have long joints ana first fruit
limbs are considerable distance from
the ground. Early fruiting is there
fore dependent upon low fruit limbs:
the first fruit limb should not be high
er than the fifth or sixth joint above
the seed leaf joint. Rapid fruiting is
dependent upon short joints on the
main stem and fruit limbs, and If the
boil is larger the greater will be the
yield. Large bolls can grow and do
