II probably isn't known that every

Farmer Should Go Through Fields
When Plant Begins to Open and
Pick Out Big 5olls.
Csy N EXALEA)

The average farmer picks his cot,
ton as 1t opens, gins It, sells lint and
seed, and then about the last Of the
season hauls home seed enough for
next years planting. In this way, az
a rule, he saves the latest and the
poorest seed.
II, when the cotton begins to open,
the farmer, with as much intelli.
gent help as the size Of the crop will
warrant, would go through the field
and select the early big bolls that are
grown on s%hort-iointed, vigorous,
well-formed stalks. until he has saved
enough to furnish seed for next
years planting, and would have this
seed ginned to itself. and carefully
store 1t where It will not heat, it is
safe to say that next seasons crop
will ripen ten or fifteen days earlier
than the average of this years crop,
and that the yield would be practical
ly doubled.
1t would be just as reasonable to
shake down apples promiscuously
from a tree and take them to the
fair, hoping to win a premium In com.
petition with a man who had selected
only the choicest specimens, or to
turn all Of your stock loose to breed
unfortunately, instead OF forcing
the survival Of the fttest by the
most rigid selection, and expect to i'm.
prove your stock. as It Is to plant
seed Of any kind without selecting
with the greatest care the most vlgor.
Gus and the best. and hope for good
results
II is fair to say that ten per cent
Of the cotton seed selected az above

average Of the other 30 per cent;
therefore II you plant only the aver.

tinn at nine to one.
Every cotton grower, from tho
man who raises one bale to the man
who raises 100 bales, can very greatly
Increase bis yield and his profit by
this simple. inexpensive method.
This is something that you can do
In your own field. Try It.

Picked Peppers.

Choose rather large peppers: wash

all seeds, Fill with q mixture made
as follows: To two quarts OF finely
chopped cabbage add four large
onions. about two tablcspoonfuls of
the pepper seed, two tablespoonfuls
Of salt. and either two cupfuls of
chopped celery. or One.half teaspoon.
full Of celery seed Pack the peppers
as solidly as possible. taking care
not to burst them, and press the tops
back on, Lay in Jars or crooks and
cover with hot vinegar. To one sal
lon Of vinegar use about half water II
the vinegar Ia very strong; add tour
cups of sugar and a teaspoonful OF
mixed spices; any spice liked extra
well can be used. Cover the peppers
and set away where cool. They dc

Small Pack ages.

There Ia a marked tendency to use
small packages In the handling of
horticultural products. The small pack.
age has many advantages, First. 1t Is
easy 10 handle BY producer, dealer and
Second, 1t ii usually made
with greater are, and therefore Is
more attractive. Third. products e
" always carry better and arrive IN
better condition than when packed in
large baskets or boxes. 1t Is true that
more time Is required to pack small
packages and that the expense OF
packages is increased when they are
small. but the advantage in many in.
stances overbalances the d~isadyan-
tages. Make a study of this phase OF
the market problem.
