The writer also called attention to the
fact that the floss of the hybrid plant
was very silky and that the plant itself
had prved to be a prolific yielder. from
experiments conducted In the section of
Central America around Guatemala IL
was stated that from 1900 to 1900 pounds
per acre of clear lint had been grown,
which amounts to two and halls or three
bales to the acre. Also that the ratio
of the product was IS to g. per cent lint
to the seed cotton, which is a much high
er ratio than the cotton now being grown
in Georgia.
Tie Georgia cotton produces about 80 1-S
per cent. and it is thought that wonder
full results can be obtained in this state
by hybridizing the ''caravonica'' plant
with the local short staple producer.

Canadian Farmer
Tells of Reciprocity

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 25.-"As far a.
the reciprocity agreement goes, it has
the complete approval OF the western
farmers, but dissatisfaction is expressed
at the smailness of the reduction in the
duty on agricultural imports"
This was the statement today OF
James Bower, president of the Canadian
National council and of the United
Farmers of Alberta, who is in Ottawa
to urge the government to grant in full
the demands of the farmers delegation
CT December Is.
IF, however," said Mr. Bower. ''the
contention of some is correct that the
agreement is but the first steo toward
breaking down the system of protection
the farmers may well hail 1t with I'M
qualified satisfaction.
The anti-reciprocity speakers are alb
solutely wrong as to how 1T would af-
feet western farming conditions. Now,
with the prospect of a market we could
engage in growing the crop which IS
most suitable to our natural conditions
and with the assurance of competition
in the cattle trade and an outside mar
let for our stock, the cattle trade would
receive a wonderful stimulus.

indicate that the peach crop OF south

that Thursday nights frost killed half
the blooms. Even this will leave a fair
bloom.
MarshsIlville. Fort Valley and other
points in the heart OF the peach produc-
ing section have come through with
comparatively flying colors.
MarshalIville growers estimate only
is per cent loss. The Hale orchards of
Fort Valley report a maximum of %

Thomas Growers Unable
To Tell Extent of Damage

BROWNSVILLE. Ca, Feb. 25.-How
much damage has been done in this sec
ton by the recent cold ii seems impos-
sible yet TO tell, as reports are very
confiicting As far as early vegetables
are concerned it seems to depend good
deal upon the locality and soil, as well
as the degree of exposure.
The great dryness of the soil all over
south Georgia has prevented. the injury
which would otherwise have been great,
as vegetation is fully a month ahead in
this section and everything in a condi-
ton to have been ruined. In some sec
lions of the county a good many peaches
are raised and the fears are that they,
with the LeConte pears, may drop. their
fruit, which had begun to form. The
cold may have the effect of delaying the
planting OF corn. etc, which many had
designed to begin next week.

Most of the popular varieties were well
represented.
A number of good sales were made dur
ing the day. and the interest in value
that this show will bring to Talladega
will be felt for many years to come
The merchants of the town donated a
splendid list of premiums-each mer-
chant giving some article of value from
their line of business or cash. They re-

them as well as making up good list
worth competing for, and helped the
breeders, as well as themselves. to fos-
ter an industry that the entire south

that they should be, as 1t is adding
