being ccntcrcd on the meeting of the

as seed for planting cotton and fcrti-
lizing. Lately the business of the cot

such an extent that the government
experts are experimenting with IL

less lint and more seed.

questions of the day will be discussed
by men who know the subject The

the last few years and Judge Henry
{. Hammond of Augusta. who has
nr"hably had moro experience in this
lime than amy mau in the country. will
