SEED SELECTION.

c M. Evans, superintendent agricul-
tural extension department of A. & NJ.
college says:
The time for seed selection is at
hand. There is a tendency among
many farmers to neglect the question
of seed selection, especially in a
drougthy year like this, with the idea
of buying from the commercial seed.
man next year.
Every farmer should bear in mind
that experiments have proven that
when farmer is growing the correct
variety for his locality, home grown
seed are infinitely better than any that
be bought in the open market This
has been found especially true of corn
1t takes a number of years to get corn
acclimated to certain locality, but
after this has been done every farmer
should be careful to save his own seed
or else purchase some from a near
neighbor each year. This season very
few farmers will make corn that looks
nice enough for seed corn, but it must
be remembered that any corn that
was produced this year was produced
because it was adapted to withstand
the prevailing conditions. Select the
seed from the field, either in a sack
before gathering time or by the use
of special box on the side of the
wagon at gathering time. In this way
the type of stalk, which is really one
of the most important things, can be
noted in making the selection.
This is fine year for starting the
selection of high producing strains of
cottonseed. Cottonseed should be Sc
lected direct from the field. 1t will
only take careful man a short time
to select enough seed from the proper
types of stalks throughout the field
for next years planting. Some of the
Things That should be noticed in the
selection of cottonseed is "a the size
and shape of the boil. know one
man who has selected for three sea-
sons with an idea of getting bolls that
pointed downward, and it is remark
able how uniform this fact is shown
in his entire field of cotton now. He
claims that bolls pointing downward
are never damaged by storm. (2) An.
other that should be stressed is early
maturity. This is good year to find
the early maturing selections, for the
late maturing stalks were prevented
from maturing much by the early
drouth. The types of stalks have a
good deal to do with the time of ma
turity. 1t will be found that those
stalks with short jointed fruit limbs

AUTOMOBILE FACTORY
PROPOSITION WITHDRAWN

The president of the Chicago auto
mobile factory who visited Bryan with
a view of moving the factory from
Chicago to Bryan, left on the Hustler
yesterday for Kansas City. There will
therefore be no meeting of the Com
mercial Club tonight, as had been an
nounced.
The gentleman carefully canvassed
the situation here and his chief rea-
son for leaving was a flattering offer
from Kansas City, which he desired
to look into. This offer came to him
from his Chicago Office yesterday
morning. Another reason was that he
found it would be impossible to Sc
cure houses for his men, about fifteen
or twenty of whom he must bring here
at once. He said he could rot take
any chances on the labor question, as
lit takes men of ability to manufacture
automobiles, and they are all men
with families.
The gentleman was favorably i'm
pressed with this part Of the county,
and expressed the belief that Bryan
is the logical point for factory II the
difficulty of securing homes was not
so serious. AS he expressed it: There
are at least ten families wanting
homes whom | have met, and have
only been here two days.

The students matriculating at the
state university this year are being
required to sign a pledge to not en-
gage in hazing. 1t is to be hoped that
this honor method of suppresslng the
