Seed Selection.

THE sins of the father are visited
upon tie children even unto the
third AID fourth generation This
is especially applicable in the case of
cotton and corn, Get your cotton
seed from the leavings of the gin and
scoop your corn seed from the leav-
ings of the crib and the Biblical
adage will most certainly be fulfilled.
For the amount of time and labor
involved, seed selection is the most
profitable of the farmers work.
The question of cotton seed selec-
tion is very important just now be-
cause of the boil weevil The cotton
belt will suffer very materially un-
less earlier and better cotton and
harder varieties of cotton are quick
" developed.
An early fruiting and early matur-
ing variety should be selected, The
plant should not have too large
leaves, should be sturdy and stocky
built. 1t should be vigorous and
have plenty of fruit limbs on the
lower half. The joints Of the fruit
limbs and of the stalks should be
short. The bolls should be large
and storm resisting and the lint
should represent at least 341s per-
cent of the cotton.
After the stalks have been selected,
then during picking time be careful
to select seed cotton from these
stalks. The choicest bolls from near
the middle of the stalks should be
selected. Do not select from the top
as the bolls there tend to mature
late. Do not select from near the
ground since those bolls absorb too
much moisture and consequently do
not have quite as much terminating
power.
After you have picked your seed
cotton put it in a dry place. BY
payment of a small sum in addition
to the regular ginning price special
attention in ginning your seed cot
ton may be secured.
Do not forget the corn seed selec-
ton, From the best stalks select
the best ears. Put these away in
some dry place,

The Department of Entomology
here means the protection of horti-

II is always our pleasure TO give
without charge the best practical in
formation relating to the control of
troublesome insects. All questions
pertaining to other subjects asked
us in correspondence are referred to
the proper authorities of the En-
pertinent Station.
Ifpossible, specimens of the insects
should be sent with the inquiries to
the Entomologist. Insects should
never be mailed in an envelope or in
a bottle unless preserved in alcohol.
1t is better to send them alive with
some of the food plant showing the
injury in a tight tin, wooden or
strong paste-board box, and the
specimens come through better, il it
is perfectly tight. Ifit is not posi-
BILE to send samples of the damaged

description of the injury. All pack
ages should bear the name and ad-
