FARMERS KEEN FOR
SEED selection DAY
Growers CT Cotton and Corn Realize
the Advantage Gained by Select
ing Good Seed.

Little Rock, Sept. 20.-Reports re-
ceived at the headquarters of the agri-
cultural extension service are that the
farmers are greatly interested in the
proposition for seed selection day on
September 81. Splendid results have
been accomplished by the selection of
the best cotton as we'll as corn for
seed. The Pulaski county demonstra-i
ton agent says that it would be a good
investment for farmer to pay a man
who understands it $25 a day to 90
into his field and select cotton for
seed, rather than to depend as practi
cally farmers do, upon the gin-run
seed.
Early fall blowing, more hogs, the
planting of cover crops, and the rails
ing of more clover are among the
things which are being urged by the
service at this time.
There, is no question that the hot
and dry weather which was prevail
ent over most of the state this year
saved our cotton growers from heavy
losses on account of the boil weeyiL"
said Dean j. H. Miller of the agricul-
tural extension division of the univers
lty. However, a great many farm
ers of the state realize the importance
of diversification and there is every
indication that there is more land
to be planted in the various field crops
next year than ever before. Splendid
results are promised from the clover
and legume campaigns conducted this
year, just drawing to a close"
