scrub seed, so-called, that we picked
up from gins and oil mills In this
section surpassed decidedly In yield
the most widely recommended anti
boll-weevil cotton that Government
agents and others have advocated,
and / may say that these scrub kinds
of seed yielded nearly as we'll, on an
average, as the average Of all of the
so-called improved seed. Many Of
the improved seed, however, had SUI
perior qualities, such as big bolls,
storm resistance, better staple, etc.
I want to say further, that no.
body's special method of cultivating
cotton has generally. or even large
ly, been adopted in Texas. That
somebody's cultural method has
solved the problem in Texas, as I
have often seen stated in South
eastern papers, is not true, as any
one may verify by visiting the State.

bama for fifty per cent of the annual
supply. The average two-horse farm
er must have at least two hundred
bushels.
The current price of meat is four
times the cost of production, and yet
Alabama buys ninety-five per cent of
her supply. Alabama is not alone in
this condition but the same prevails
in nearly all of the cotton-producing
States. If we are ever to be a pros
porous and happy people, we must
change this condition by producing
our corn, hay, meat, mules, etc. Let's
get busy and each man resolve to
grow his supplies regardless Of what
the other fellow does. 1t will pay
you, IL you are alone in the effort.
If every cotton grower in the South
would take this matter seriously
and act accordingly, at no distant
day the center of the national wealth
would be in the South instead of in
the East ]. A. WADE.
