Of cotton-growing and marketing
could be discussed 70 advantage. IN
every neighb0rheod a great many DIFF
ferent varieties of cotton are grown.
Some are better than others. At the
weekly meetings the advantages of tie
different varieties could be discussed
This would lead to the adoption Of the
better varieties and the elimination OF
the poor ores It would eventually
lead to the adoption Of one variety of
cotton for each neighborhood where
club existed. and this would help to
keep the seed strain pure and to mar
ket at a better advantage, because the
cotton would be uniform. BY discus
sion in the club meetings the farmers
would soon adopt the cotton that
makes the most money per acre. which
is the real test On our farm was
raised this year two varieties of cot

taken 70 the gin from each of the
two kinds on the same day. One made

for Is Il cents. The seed from each

Cotton Ginning Information for
Farmers is a very valuable bulletin
recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and every farmer can well afford to
read it at this time. since good cotton
seed for planting next year will be
scarce and high priced says W G
Lassetter, acting director OF the agI'i-
cultural extension division of the Uni
yersity of Arkansas and United States
Department of Agriculture This bull
ietin was written by Fred Taylor, D.
c. Griffith and c. E Atkinson, cotton
specialists with the United States De
partment of Agriculture. and is thor
oughly reliable in every detail It is
exceedingly we'll illustrated and the
information contained should mean
much to everyone interested in next
years cotton crop. The first page of
this new bulletin reads as follows:
One of the greatest difficulties in
the producing of cotton of uniform
fiber is the inability of the planter to
maintain the purity of the seed of that
particular variety which he prefers.
He makes a practice of buying new
seed every two or three years. the
contention being thai seed will run
out" in this length of time: that is,
his seed becomes so badly mixed.
either at the gin or by cross breeding,
that II no longer represents the varie-
y originally planted In the very ma
ture of things the different varieties
of cotton become mixed if grown in
adjacent localities. This is caused by
the interchange of pollen between diff
ferent varieties of cotton Pure seed
for planting purposes may be main
tanned by a proper system of seed Sc
leetio., which applies to all varieties
of cotton.
1T is a good plan to pick planting
seed from the lint by hand. in order
that il may not become mixed with
seed from cotton of another variety,
or if so much seed is nee1 ed that this
is impractieable the cotton may be
ginned in the regular way with good
results if the ginner viii first take the
precautlon to clean out thoroughly all
the gin heads and let the machinery
run few minutes to make sure that
all the seed and seed cotton from pre-
ceding bales have been removed Par
ticular care should be exerted to the
end that the seed bin and trough are
entirely free of any seed that may
have been left from some other va
riety of cotton. In some gins the
seed is not allowed to go into the
seed bin, but by means of board
or piece of metal is conducted to the
floor of the gin house, which should
be swept clean before beginning the
operation This is by far me safer
method Some improved gins have
a hinged metal chute, which may be
let down so that the seed is discharg-
ed from the breasts will fall onto the
floor instead of into the seed
trough"
