Looking for Better Cotton.

Next to corn, cotton is one of the
most important crops to the entire
country. 1t is valuable and important,
chiefly because it is essentially a
money crop, bringing into the south
ready cash for sll classes of business.
The value of the cotton crop from sea-
son to season will run between $780,
100000 and $700,000,OOO
There has been no general awaken
ing in the matter of producing high
grade cottonseed such as has occurred
in connection with the production of
corn. Here and there throughout the
south however, are individual farmers
who have been for years making a
special effort to improve their types of
cotton. These men have been quite
successful, and have developed for
their own use and for dissemination
among their neighbors cottonseed
very much superior to that ordinarily
used
This crop is grown over such a wide
extent of territory, and the soil and
climatic conditions are so varied. that
many sorts will have to be produced
in order to meet the requirements for
the highest production.
The national department of agricul-
ture and the state agricultural depart
ments and stations are endeavoring to
educate the cotton growers In the mat
ter of improving their types of cotton
by seed selection similar to that out
lined for the production of high-grade
corn. Cotton is more amenable to i'm
provement than almost any other
crop. BY few years of judicious Sc
lection the yield can be not only in
creased, but the length, strength and
general quality of the fiber can be
greatly improved.
Cotton is produced in many other
parts of the world but America
stands, and will in all probability con-
tinue to stand pre-eminent in grow
ing this great crop.-Youths Com.

PLEA FOR MORE FEED CROPS.
An Abundance Means the Raising Of
Stock That viii Make Farmer
independent.

The Farmers Union News Of Geor.
gia gives some sound advice to It's
readers along lines for raising forage
and feed crops, and as what Is good
for Georgia is good for Texas II is
published in the Co-Operator for the
benefit Of diversifiers in the union and
out:
"Any farm in the south can be made
to grow two crops of hay during the
year; one CROP in winter and one In
summer. On the Piedmont lands,
oats, rye, barley, wheat and crimson
clover will make excellent winter
pastures and furnish a spring cutting
OF hay. OF these crops there is per-
haps the most money in oats Oats
usually make better winter pasture
and furnish more hay for the spring
cutting than the other crops Good
crops in this section for summer pas
lures are the COW peas, sorghum, soy
bean and Bermuda grass Along the
coastal plain or sandy lands, oats and
vetch give excellent winter pastures
and spring hay crops, and the COW
pea, soy bean, peanut and sorghum.
In the extreme south the velvet bean
will furnish an abundance of hay or
pasture during summer
ITO get the best results from these
crops keep enough cows and hogs to
harvest the summer crops of pea
vines, and sorghum, peanuts, etc, in
the fall fattening their stock for mar
ket. Enough hay must be saved
either in the spring or fall to keep the
breeding stock over winter.
LET us begin now to make stock
feed, continue next summer to make
stock feed. Double your efforts next
fall to secure sufficient food for your
cattle, horses and hogs. Put forth
every effort in winter to have all the
good, sweet, digestible hay that your
stock can use An abundance of good
feed means good stock and the man
who owns an abundance Of good
stock and plenty to feed them on is in

HER SHARE IN THE OWNERSHIP
Something Proud Young Fatherseemed
In Danger Of Forgetting.

He picked up the baby. he hoped,
just as il picking babies up were an
everyday occurrence. In point of fact,
he remembered that an elderly lady
had told him in his youth that cats,
when lifted, like to be supported with
hand held underneath, and he
thought that this principle would work
out with babies, and it did. And hav-
ing awakened Louise, he handed her
back, triumphant, to Constance, diffus-
ing An air of competency, as though he
could help rear any number of chill
dren at once. At any rate, she was
comforted. Whether he knew much
or little. he stood back of her.
1t may be that Johns success as
father led him to seem vainglorious
when he was not. He certainly put
on airs about the baby 1t was not
long after this that he lured two old
friends ostensibly TO dinner. His in
vitation did not include visit to
Louise, and, of course, 1t was merely
an accident that she should have been
awake at the time when they were
there. AS matter of fact, she usually
awoke at that hour, but the men didn't
know this-or perhaps they wouldn't
have come. Men have becoming shy
ness about babies, and these were
bachelors.
John had arrived at that state Of ar
rogance when he actually went over
to the crib, and asking no ones per
mission picked Louise up and dis
played her to the two men, who were
as embarrassed as dog in the pres
ence of June bug. He laid her down
again with an expert hand, and osten-
tatiously changed the subject, to show
that he was not among those fathers
who pushed their children down other
peoples Threats. But his manner
said:
This is my baby; and when you fel.
lows can show me anything as inter-
esting you will be of value to so
ciety."
1t was after they had gone that Con-
stance came up, and put her hands on
Johns shoulders, and said:
After all, you know, it's my baby,
too."-Woman's Home Companion
