 While in Montgomery last March. purchased from a MT. Fucker of Geor- gia, a peck Of cotton seed, for which l paid him three dollars. planted this seed in one acre, and adjoining this planted an acre of the J. c. Car ter improved early variety of cotton seed. Each acre was given the same attention. and an equal amount of fer tfIlzer. I now wish to report that the Carter seed gave me infinitely greater The acre planted in that seed opens at least two weeks earlier. produced $50 pounds of seed cotton more to the acre. and was of superior staple. can get testimonials also from several of my neighbors to the foregoing facts. I wish you the great est success in the sale of Carters seed. Very truly.

My Dear MT. Barnett:
 I am writing briefly to report the results of my experiments with the J. C. Carter improved early variety of cot ton seed. secured from you last season. The bushel of seed sent was quite suf- ficient to plant four acres. I followed directions in planting. laying off the rows six feet apart, with the seed two and one-half feet apart in the drill This cotton opened from one to two weeks earlier than any other part of my crop, and the yield was a trifle over four bales to the four acres. The superiority of the staple Is another very important point in favor of this variety of seed.
 In the past few years I have used all most every known variety of cotton seed on the market, and take pleasure in saying that have never found any which so nearly meets my needs as Car ter's. e Very truly,

the folks in the galleries that the first
seven rows were reserved for alternates
and asked the general public to retire.
There was prayer and singing. and aft
erward Mrs. Mclean spoke with decision
and ordered the galleries cleared. and
gave five minutes for its completion.
A woman in the gallery started to tell
Mrs. Mclean what she ought to do to ex-
pedite matters, but bang of the gavel
closed the controversy.
No one seemed to be willing to get out
of the galleries even then. and the alter
mates crowded in the seats. regardless of
the occupants. 1t was a long, slow proc
ess and more than five minutes were
taken up. Mrs. Mclean announced that
the house committee should see that the
intruders should be made to leave, and
there was scurrying here and there. and
finally everybody that was entitled to a
seat got one, and the gavel raped for
order again.
Pipe of Peace Gavel.
The gavel was the one which the Min
nesota Daughters had given the congress.
and was made of an Indian pipe of peace.
It is the gavel always used at D. A. r..

Mrs. Mclean said:
This house is in harmony. There will
be no bitterness and ill feeling. Remem-
Der, we are American gentlewomen, and
will behave as SUCH.
The Daughters were not long IN getting
to the business of the day. Mrs. John c.
Ames of Illinois advanced to the platform
and the cheering broke loose again. The
Scott followers threw kisses to her.
Mrs. Ames said in part:
Incredible as it may seem the hand OF
time has crept around to the point which
indicates that another election is at hand.
The time has come to elect a successor to
the leader whom We have followed and
loved for four years. We know the needs
of the organization and we realize the
responsibilities of any woman who occu-
pies the position of the president general.
