COTTON SEED
Experiments With Early, Prolific Va-ie-
ties During the Season Of 1908.

3 Baton Rouge, La, Jan. 20, Iooo.-The
State Crop Pest Commission today gave
out the following statement regarding
its experiments with early varieties Of
cotton during the 1908 season:
ST AS the funds OF the Crop Pest Com
sion will probably not permit Of pub
fishing in bulletin form the results of
all experiments before planting time, it
SIS thought best to furnish the press OF
the State with figures showing the pro
duction OF different varieties Of cotton
II the weevil infested section.
Two lite extensive tests of varieties
were made by the commission during
1905, one at Mansura, Avoyelles parish.
and the other at Bayou Pierre, Natcli-
toches parish. The former was on up
land soil, the latter on Red river valley
soil. At Mansura the heavy rains which
lasted from July "A to August S severely
cut down the yield and made conditions
e1i-emely favorable for rapid increase
of weevils Under these trying condl-
lions the different varieties yielded IN
81 nnis of seed cotton per acre as 10
