1907 COTTON AND AVERAGE FROST

1 When will damaging frOsts begin to
 occur in the cotton belt? With a crop from two ofour weeks late, this is
 the feature of prime importance at
 present. No man, however, can do
 more than state the probabilities. Av-
 craze dates when Jack Frost makes his first killing onslaught at different points are well known, but the range
 is so wide-in North Carolina of late years from October 22d to November 2Sth-that these possess a very limit ed value. North Carolina, nearly all South Carolina and the greater part of the States of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi may ordinarily expect kill ing frost to arrive between November 1st and November 10th. Northern Louisiana, Northern Texas, over half Arkansas and good part of the Ter ritories are similarly situated. In the northern fractions of Georgia, Ala bama, Mississippi and Arkansas, the time is a little earlier. In southern Georgia and all along the upper Gulf December list or little earlier is the rule. Below there Jack is so seldom an important crop season fac tor that he can be dismissed with 1907 COTTON AND AVERAGE FROST These data show that the present crop has nothing much to fear if only the killer does not come ahead of time; if an unusually early frost does
 not smite an unusually late crop. This years crop, though belated, thus enjoys more than fair chance to escape any serious damage. It simply has a diminished margin of probable safety.

eral census bureau, the population of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, with four districts unreported, has reached a total of 1,4OS,732, an increase of 78 per cent over 1900. The figures show
 that Oklahoma, with two districts

Selecting Seed From Hills Resistant 70
N the line Isffly sf yp5iafa aiiefh'ii investigations
at the Ohio experiment station II has
been found that there Is not only DIFF
ference between varieties us to the
susceptibility or resistance TO the early
blight, but there Is also a difference
between hills OF the same variety. This
Is more noticeable with some varieties
than with others.
without exception the vines from the
seed, which had been taken with no
reference to the blight, began TO break
down with an attnck OF the disease
much earlier than the vines OF the
same variety which had been selected
for blight resistance.
Besides the selection Of blight resist
ant varieties, there Is no doubt that
much can be done Ia the way Of build
Ing up varieties which win be resist
ant to the early blight by selecting
seed from resistant hills. All OF the ex-
ira labor necessary Is to go over the
rows few ut a time when most OF
the vines are badly blghted and stick
q stake ut each hill which shows a re
sistant tendency, these hills TO be dug
by hand and saved for seed When
digging all hills which are poor In
yield, even though they may have been
very resistant, should be thrown out.
BY planting this seed and saving all
OF the product to plant for seed anoth-
er year sufficient quantity can be
secured In two or three seasons TO
plant n considerable area. In the sta
ton tests the seed from resistant hills
has retained that characteristic for
three years. II has not been tested Tor
q longer period.

absolutely, with an unwrltten under

give her dowry. provided she married
with Barney's approval.
OF course Sally might have married
In spite OF Barney and sued for por'

advised her to do this very thing.
But sally Brill would listen to no

the little fellows dry and well bedded.
