Build Up the Tired l-and.
e. r. LLOYD. Director, A. 4 n.
College.

Help nature build up the fields
that have worked too hard. and have
been turned out to rest. II grasses,
corn stalks, leaves and other organ
ic materials are left on the land they:
viii decay and add humus to the
soil. Where these materials are
turned of, however, all the organic
substances are given of in the form
cf gases, and only the mineral mat
teris left. in the ash, this is blown
about by the wind, and dissolved
and washed away by the rains.
This information has recently
been given out by DIR. III. B. Brown,
Of the Mississippi A. q M. College,
who estimates that the improvement
to the land, ii all grasses and other
growth were allowed to rot Instead
Of being burned, would he worth
millions of dollars to the state.
The destruction of useful plants is
another harmful result of burning
of the fields, and DR.. Brown eau
lions against this, Fire will totally
destroy the seed of all the true clo-
yers, which are invaluable as soil
builders. Many OF the most yalua-
Die grasses can be killed by burning
even Bermuda will die If burned re-
peatedly. Perhaps the greatest
harm is done In the woods by the
killing out OF seeds as they drop
from the trees, and by killing young
trees, thus preventing the reproduc-
ton OF forests.
Besides the damage done BY fires,
in the removal Of plant food and
killing out of vegetation, they great
ly hasten erosion. On the other
hand the corn stalks and grasses in
the fields. and the sage grasses in
worn out soils, prevent the rains
washing out gullies, and help to hold
the water as it soaks into the ground.

Pure Bred Cotton Seed Increase
Yields.
ID. r. LLOYD, Director, A. & M. Col
lege.

70. r. LLOYD, Director. A. & M. Col
lege.
Success in cotton growing depends
largely upon the care with which the
Dlanting seed are selected. II the
: section is haphazard the variety
will lose It's good qualities in few
years.
This is the opinion of DIR. III. B..
Brown. of the Mississippi A. and NJ.
College experiment station, who is
urging farmers to grow more cotton
on less land by using pure bred cot
ton seed.
IN order to secure good seed for
his years crop, DIR. Brown suggests
, nat the farmers who did not care
fully select seed from their own fields
last fall, buy seed from a reliable
dealer. With this pure seed to start
with, still better strains can then he
developed by selection.
In improving seed, however, the
following cautions will need to be
observed:
l. The plants produced from the
seed of any one stalk will vary.
2. By crossing with the plants
in \ nearby field hybrid is pro-
auced, which is likely to have short
lint and small bolls.
3. Seeds of various kinds are
likely to become mixed Mt the gin,
and care is necessary to prevent the
seed of one bale from mixing with
those from the bale ginned just be-
fore. and the one ginned just after
it.
