REIMBURSEMENT OF FREIGHT ON
SWEET POTATOES

The State Market Bureau has just
succeeded in securing from the State
Railroad Commission u readiUst-
ment Of the freight on sweet pota-
toes, which means in many instan-
ces material reduction. Formerly
the rate on sweet potatoes shipped
in boxes and crates has been just
double what it was in barrels end
bags, and there was no good reason
for it. The commission has order
ed that effective 0ctobsr /, sweet
potatoes in boxes and crates shall
take the same rate as those in bags
and barrels. Thus, however packed
all sweet potatoes shipped in Geor-
gia this fall, will be handled at the
lower rate.

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXHIBIT AT
THE SOUTHEASTERN FAIR

One of the most attractive exhib-
its at the Southeastern Fair, Allan
Ia. October 1920 will be the Sun
day School Exhibit. Last year the
Sunday School exhibit, which was
the first exhibit of its kind in Geor-
gia, proved such a success that
plans have been made for another
exhibit this year.
The Southeastern Fair Associa-
ton has made the Sunday School
exhibit a part of the Fair and has
donated space for the exhibit and
has also offered first and second
cash premiums for the best original
material sent from the various Sun
day Schools of the State.
The premiums are offered only
for original material, such as Cra-
die Roll Charts, paper folding and
tearing, color work, work-books,
modelling, illustrated song or story,
map work, invitation cards and
stationery, calendars, honor rolls,
of special days and many
other things. The material for the
exhibit should be sent to Mr.. DIV.
Sims, Superintendent, care of
Southeastern Fair Association, At
lanta, Ga. and should be received
not later than October Sth.
All Sunday School workers of all
denominations of the State are in
vited to send material for the ex-
hibit. The material will be ar
ranged by the Georgia Sunday
Association, and they viii also
have one of the State workers on
hand at the exhibit to explain the
material to those who visit the
booth.

COTTON SEED SELECTION OF UTMOST

Says Entomology

wilt, rootknot and anthraenose; fruit
fulness and earliness; percentage,
length and strength of lint; type Of
plant and distribution Of fruit on
plant.
Watch The Type Of Plant
Stalks OF the predominating type in
the row or field, should be chosen, II
equally resistant and well fruited as
others. Get the form of the ideal
stalk we'll fixed in your mind, and
look for 1t. Remember the type from
year to year, and don't change unless
you should change to a different
strain or seed variety.
Select from stalks having long fruit
ing limbs close to the ground, and
with joints close together. Get those
with fewer large stalked branches, but
with the fruiting branches most nu-
merous. AS rule it is best to select
the plants that have most OF the
fruit on the lower part of the stalk,
for these begin fruiting early.
Maintain the fruiting and resistant
qualities by "roguing." Do this both
in the progeny rows and in the field.
This means cutting out the diseased
and stunted stalks about July ! and
August /, so as to prevent crossing
with the fruitful and resistant plants.
Get The Right Variety
Every farmer should begin by get
ting the variety of cotton that
he wishes to grow, the variety bes'
adapted to his locality, and then stick
to it. Write for Bulletin No 46 of
the Georgia State Board of Entomolo-
gy on Cotton Variety Tests this
will assist you in selecting your va
riety. Selection and planting Of the
right variety for your locality, is half
the fight against the boil weevil.
The board Of entomology has gins
both in Atlanta and at Thomasville.
Send your individual seed selections
to the board at either place, properly
numbered and sacked, and they will
be ginned and returned to you free
Of charge. The per cent of lint each
stalk makes will be determined and
marked on each sack. Send your seed
in as soon as possible after the cot.
ton is picked, so that it may be gin
red without delay. Address it to the
Georgia State Board of Entomology
either Atlanta or Thomasville, which
ever place is nearest you. Write also
for any other information you may
} ! wish.

VELVET BEANS WORTH BIG

1t has been brought to the atten-
ton of the Georgia State Bureau of
Markets that some mills in Ala

anu made contracts for future sup
plies OF velvet beans at prices en-
tirely too low. considering the food
value of velvet bean meal. In or
der to arrive at some idea of fair
valuation OF this product, the i&u-
reau has mace careful investigation
and finds that the actual food value
of pure velvet bean meal is greater
than that Of cotton seed meal. This
has no reference to its value as a
fertilizer. This test as to food val
ne shows that in calculating the
protein, carbohydrate and fat con-
tents velvet been meal yields loo, $40
calories to the 100 pounds, whereas,

ia a big difference between improved
cotton seed and just cotton seed. "
Experiments conducted by the Geor-
gia State Board of Entomology have
proven beyond question that the diff
ference in value is as great as thai
between pure bred hogs, such as the
Durocs and Berkshires, and the
piney woods "razor-back."
Many farmers have learned the i'm
portance Of this difference. They have
found from actual experience, involv-
ing losses, that 1t is not safe to plant
the ordinary varieties Of cotton seed.
So important is this problem OF
seed selection, that the board feels
it must strongly urge every farmer
to make effort this year to improve
his cotton seed by mass selection al
least In mass selection the best
stalks are selected and picked togeth-
er. This cotton is carefully ginned
and the seed planted next year for
the seed patch. Enough stalks should
be selected to plant for a bale or at
least half bale.
Pedigreed Breeding
Then, a few farmers in each coun-
ty should take up the work of pedi-
greed breeding or individual selection
Under this plan number of the best
and most resistant plants are chosen
and the seed of each plant saved to
itself. The next season short row
is planted from each stalk. Planted
side by side, the opportunity is given
for easy comparison, and ascertain
ing which is the most resistant ano
has the strongest transmitting power
This is important to determine, fol
plants, like animals, transmit theil
good as we'll as their bad qualities t
their progeny.
The seed from the row showing th'
greatest resistance to disease and thu
greatest yield, is saved and planted
next season in a multiplying patch
The seed from this in turn is saved
and the following season as man,
acres as possible should be plantet
with it. Thus, from one stalk, il
three years, a very large quantity 0
seed may be secured.
In individual selection great car
must be used in securing the hes
