In the future the agricultural
measure of the South will largely be
guaged by the quality of our labors
and the products thereof. 1t is not
going to be enough that we labor
with our hands; head and hand, brain
and Drawn, must labor together that
we may produce quality products in
quantity.
Probably in no other single in
stance do we fall so alarmingly short
as in the quality of seed we plant.
During the past ten years the razor
back hog in most of the South has
become a memory only, his place hav-
ing been taken by sleek purebreds.
Scrub cattle are going out. Jerseys
and Holsteins for milk and Here
fords, Shorthorns and Angus for beef
are coming in. Scrub stock are Civ
ing away to the pure-bred, simply
because the pure bred is the greatest
profit-maker.
But we are tagging in the matter
of breeding up our field crops by
careful seed selection. Many expert
ment station tests and the experience
of hundreds of good farmers have
shown beyond all doubt that seed
corn or cotton seed adapted to local
soil and climate conditions and held
up to high standard by careful, in
! telligent selection, may, on an aver
age, be depended upon to increase
yields from 10 to 20 per cent. Put
ting the average increase due to
pure-bred seeds at one-sixth, we have
in the case of cotton yielding one
half bale per acre, at present prices
an increased per acre crop value of
about $3.50; in the case of corn
yielding 20 bushels per acre, we have
an increased value per acre of about
5000.
Aren't these increases worth work
ing for?
Right now every farmer in the
South should make up his mind to
be done forever with scrub seed. If
the varieties of cotton and corn now
grown are known to be well suited
to our local conditions, the next ster
is. to maintain their standard and
even improve them by field selection
Beginning with cotton, the best
/ bolls from the best stalks, the stalks
conforming most nearly to the desir-
ed type, should be carefully picked
and ginned separately, to prevent
mixing. These selected seed should
be used for planting seed patch

should again be practiced, the care

measures trife over eleven feet in
height and produced seven ears of
corn, each fourteen inches in length.
Mr. Akin traces the life of the
cornstalk to a seed at least 1900
years old; he has data to verify his
attestation that the plant is the direct
product of seed that was buried by
people who lived at the time of
Christ.
DIR. E. S. Curry, noted archaeol-
ogist, on one of his explorations in
a Western state discovered a strange
mound on which tree was growing.
He cut down the tree and dug into
the mound. The roots of the tree had
wound themselves around the mound,
and he easily found that the tree was
six hundred years old.
From the character of the other
vegetation around he stated that it
was his firm conviction that the
mound was placed there 1900 years
ago. In this mound he found ossifed
bones, stone weapons and implements
of one kind and another. Among
other things he found Theoretically
sealed stone jar containing eleven
ears of corn of the prehistoric Red
Dent variety. The age of this corn
was further verified by the cement
used to seal the lid of the receptacle.
This cement was found to be the
same kind that was used in sealing
mummy cases in the pyramids in
Egypt.
Mr.. Akin claims that if he had
known anything about raising corn
his stalk would have attained a much
greater height, but as it was he mere
ly planted it and let it grow.
