Farmers who will limit themselves

and take the necessary precautions to
preserve the stock and avoid admiX-
ture with other varieties, IAN produce
better seed than they can by
through any Of the existing commer

neighbors. The demand for better
seed is now very general and repre-

the more intelligent farmers of each

cotton planters. particularly since eX-
perts declare that Hawaii has abso-

seed or OF introducing pests. In laIt,
Hawaiis cotton is of such character

cotton districts of the mainland. The
scope of the circular in question is
indicated in the following paras raphS
from the department of agriculture's
news letter of April LIST:
The so-cailed running out of va
rieties of cotton is largely due to tho
neglect of the grower in selecting his
seed Continued selection is neces-

in the past were such as to require so
