KEEP The KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving and Some
Americas People Know How to
Save 1t.

Many Americas people take Their
lives in their hands by neglecting tho
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll heath-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
"a remedy that has helped Thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is an
Americas citizens recommendation:
Mrs. Essie Query, 524 Lamar st
Americas, Ca, says: "Our little
daughter complained great deal Of
pain and weakness through her bacl;
and kidneys. When some one advised
a trial of Doan's Kidney Pills, l began
giving this remedy to the child. 1t did
her a great amount of good, strength
ening her kidneys and helping her 50
much that she is now an altogether
different girl do not hesitate to say
that Doan's Kidney Pills are good
kidney medicine, and I strongly rec
ommend them to all persons having
kidney complaint"

terranean sea. We know that sea
island cotton was brought to the co..
ony of Georgia in 1885, but l have
records showing that it was already
grown in Georgia and Florida as
early as 1774, eleven years earlier.
The records of cotton seed introduce
ton into the United States are not
yet completed. We have been too
busy to go back and hunt up records,
but working as we have, largely in
ignorance of what we were working
with, we have made mistakes. Until
we know the cotton plant we shall not
be able to get the best results.
Relation of Fertilizers to Compost
ton of Seed and Quality of Lint.-We
usually know that the use of fertiliz-
crs make more seed cotton to the
acre and much better and finer look
| ing plants, but this fact has kept us
from trying to find out just what i'm
provement heavy fertilization did
bring about Does heavy fertilizing
increase the protein and Oil content OF
the seed, and does it make the lat
stronger and finer? There is a way
tt get this very important informa-
ton, and yet We have not needed it.
We have plenty of seed and to spare.
We have had good enough lint, AMI
did not try to make any better. We
have in fact come to the turning point
| in the cotton industry In the future
we must consider how we are to make
the most of the best cotton that ca i
be made on our lands. We must also
become conscious of the great value
that is wrapped up in the seed.
Relation of Soil Areas to Seed AMI
Lint.-We have three distinct SOL
areas in the cotton states east of the
Mississippi-the coastal plain, the
Piedmont region and the mountainous
region. More or less cotton grows on
all these areas, but we have not tried
special varieties and types to see
which are best adapted to each area.
This to my mind is about the only
really valuable variety of test cotton.
We wish to know more about the adj
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-07-06

aptability of the various varieties to
different soil areas, and care less
about the rank any particular variety
may take under any particular condi-
ton, This form of variety may take
under any particular condition. This
form of variety testing has been a
good advertising medium in the last
few years for seed dealers rather than
of any special good to agriculture
better lint and seed of a much higher
nitrogen content with a given variety
than will other soils. We already
know that the upper Piedmont region
seems to produce better lint on our
short staple upland cottons than any
other section, but we have not yet
found out if this is at the expense OF
the seed or the nitrogen or protein III
th@seed. 1t may be worth much tC
know this and now, since We are be-
ginning to work seriously at the prob
lem of producing better cotton, we
shall have to answer such questions
Relation of Quantity of Lint to Com
position of Seed.-Does the finer quail
ity of lint gFow on seed with higher
content, or does the finer lint grow at
the expense of the seed? This is per-
haps one of the most difficult prob
lens, and will require much intensive
work to answer The answer will de-
pend on careful selection of plants with
medium and as many with good lint
in a given variety in order to begin
this investigation. Accurate chemical
analysis of the seed and as careful
examination of the lint will be neces-
sary. These two qualities may be
improved together, but we should
know the truth to begin with in order
not to make serious mistakes in a
work that will mean so much eventu-
ally.
Relation of disease to Composition
of the Seed.-In recent years it has
become generally known that disease
is carried under the seed coats, and,
of course, something under there must
offer inducement to the growth of fun
gi. Much nitrogen is stored in tae
seed, and if the fungi that pass the

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
COTTON IN THE SOUTH

(By R. J. H. DeLoach, Professor of
Cotton Industry, State College of
Agriculture, Athens, Ga)
1t may not be bad idea to mention
some things that none of US have yet
learned about cotton. This crop is Sd
common with us that we do not seem
to consider it a subject for study, but
take it for granted that we know all
about it. Really l am beginning TO
realize that what we do not know
about cotton would fill many more
volumes than what we do know, AMI
we should make of it a subject for
serious investigation. In many wags
the study of cotton has been neglect
ed, so busy have We been raising it
for market. Land has been plentiful,
and time has never been an item with
us. 1t has been too easy for us t.
make living in the cotton belt
Where Cotton Came From.-Every
little while | find a new record of the
introduction not recorded anywhere
il modern literature of cotton seed
into the United States. l have now as
many as six or seven records on the
subject. All the records are so con-
fusing that l am now in doubt as to
whether there is a record of the first
introduction of cotton seed into the
present territory of the United States
We know that seed were introduced
from Mexico in the early part of the
nineteenth century. We also know
that the English colonies brought COT
ton seed with them to America in the
early part of the seventeenth century,
but we are not absolutely certain
where the seed came from. We believe
that the Spanish colonists introduced
cotton seed into the Southern territory
of the present United States when
they began making permanent SETTLE
ments, but we have very little infor-
nation on this point We know that
Og' ethorpe brought fifty cotton seed
with him and planted them in Savan-
nah when that city was settled, and
it is recorded that those seed came
from one of the islands of the Medi-

winter in them demand more nitrogen
in order to enable them to keep their
health and terminate quickly IN
spring, We could conclude that there
and the composition of the seed These
are some of the questions we must
answer if we would breed cotton
wisely. We may, under present con-
ditions, be trying to breed for directly
opposite qualities, and if it proves to
be thus, we shall have to tear down
and build over-Macon Telegraph.

Among them we have Christian con-
