The ruling Of the post office de
partment changing the time and
manner of collecting box rent, has
never been fully appreciated by
the public. Under the old rule
box rent was due and collectahle
between the first and tenth of the
month. Under that system renters
who intended to abandon their
boxes would let the matter go on
until the tenth of the month. And
applicants wishing to rent boxes
would have to wait. Thus the
renters would lose 10 DAYS out Of
D quarter and the renter would :
have use of the box without cost to
him.
The old rule Of placing the s'box
rent due" card in the box has been
abandoned. And patrons of the
office are supposed to understand
that box rent iscdue at tire beginn =
ing Of each quarter. And they
have tho privilege of paying the
rent q day or two in advance, where
it is more convenient for them TO-
do so. = -

Use Only the Best Cotton Seed.
ALBANY Herald.)

A visit to a half dozen different cot
ton fields within twenty minutes drive
of Albany will convince any intelIi-
gent observer that the matter of seed
variety of seed planted-has much
to do with the yield of the cotton
plant produced This writer has
been a frequent visitro to nearby
cotton fields this summer and has
watched with interest the develop
ment of the plants through the vary
ing stages of the season, and has
been impressed as never before with
the fact that the yield of cotton de-
Ponds as much upon the variety of
} seed planted as upon the quality of
the land or the fertilizer used.
The purpose of this article is not
to exploit any particular variety Of
cotton seed, but to call the attention
of farmers to the Importance of Civ
ing due attention to the selection Of
the seed they plant. They can see
for themselves what we have seen if
they will visit few farms and
make the observations and COMPARE
sons that we have been making, and
can then judge for themselves what
variety of seed gives the best results
Driving along the public road leading
out of town to Palmyra through the
plantation of Mr.. A. P. Vason cotton
may be seen from three different var
ieties of seed, and the difference not
only in the appearance of the plants,
but in the fruitage, is very striking.
Years ago very little attention was
given to the selection Of cotton seed
but during the last few years inn
proyements have been made in pro-
ducing prolific varieties that the pro-
gressive farmer cannot afford to ig-
more. Now while the plant is at
its best and can be seen and made to
serve as an object lesson demonstra-
ting the merits Of the seed from
which it came, and while compari-
sons may be made, is a good time for
the farmer to make a tour of inspec-
ton for the purpose of selecting the
variety of cotton seed it will be best
for him to plant next year
