Increasing the Yield Through Selec-
ton

]. E. B., Ethelville, Ala, writes: How
can I make a bale of cotton per acre
on land which is a sandy loan and
which will now make about one-third
of a bale per acre without fertilizer,
and on which intend to haul decaying
leaves, woods moul, etc., enough to
well cover the surface2 I am improv-
ing my cotton seed in the following
manner, which, to all appearances, has
proven highly successful:
have two special patches. Patch
No. l is planted from the seed Of the
nest procurable stalk, one stalk only,
in point Of size and number of bolls,
height of stalk and distance of bolls
apart. If the cotton shows tendency
to fall from the bolls the stalk is re-
jected as am eradicating this tendency
in my cotton-the King. Patch No.
2 is planted from the seed Of patch
No. 1. By careful planting this patch
makes enough seed to plant my crop
each year. AS you will see, this gives
me higher improved seed to plant each
year. I have been using this plan for
several years and intend to still do so.
Can you approve of this method and
have you any suggestions to make?

The bond election Saturday to

Some of the patrons of district
81 are afraid of the school house
since the wind storm and are keep
ing their children at home. The
board don't want to take the re-
sponsibility of saying whether the
building is safe or not. The storm
may have weakened the building
to such an extent that it might 60
down and no one could foretell the
results in such case. An expert
will examine the building and
make report.

storm when there was a stalk field
