COTTON SEED SELECTION OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE TO GOOD PRODUCTION
Necessary Boil Weev
of Entomology

Atlanta, August, SpeciaI)-There
is 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 that
between pure bred hogs, such as the
Durocs and Berkshires. and the
piney woods "razor-back"
Many farmers have learned the inn
portance Of this difference. They have
found from actual experience, involv-
ing losses, that it 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 at
least. In mass selection the best
stalks are selected and picked togeth-
err 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.
Pediareed Breeding
Then, a few farmers in each coun-
ty should take up the work of pedi-
greed breeding or individual selection.
Under this plan a number Of the best
and most resistant plants are chosen
and the seed of each plant saved to
itself The next season a 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 and
has the strongest transmitting power
This is important to determine, for
plants, like animals, transmit their
good as well as their bad qualities to
their progeny.
The seed from the row showing the
greatest resistance TO disease and the
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 many
acres as possible should be planted
with it Thus, from one stalk, in
three years, very large quantity Of
seed may be secured.
In individual selection great care
must be used in securing the best
plants. 1t is often noticed that plants
vary greatly in the same field. In
making selections study the follow
ing characteristics: Resistance to

LOOK TO NEXT YEAR WARNS
PACK GARDEN Commission

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 81
Peace or war, the world faces the
biggest food crisis since man has
been writing history" said Charles
Lathrop Pack, of the National Enler-
gency Food commission today. 1T is
not a question of today, but one of to-
morrow that we must answer" con-
t'nued the man who has conducted a
nation wide food-saving campaign in
conjunction with the American Fores-
try association, of which he is presi-
dent. The commission, which is affil-
lated with the Forestry association, is
now offering $4,000 in prizes for the
best canned vegetables grown in war
gardens.
With close 10 two million men un-
der arms and a good prospect of hay-
ing to help feed big part of Europe
what are we going to do" continued
Mr.. Pack. The Scientific American in
its current issue calls it "a war trag-
edy" In this article by H. C. Hardy,
I find this paragraph, which tells the
whole story:
Will the United States government:
permit a useless criminal sacrifice of
food, of labor, of money and courage
ard patriotism from its people because
OF lack of appreciation of the need of
speed when perishable food must be
harvested and stored, or allowed to rot
and freeze?'
"Now turn to the commerce reports
just issued and you will find that Har
~ A. Mcbride, vice consul at London,
writing on the growing use of dried
peas and beans, says: The scarcity
Of food supplies in Europe has resulted
in an increased demand for many ar
ticles of food of this sort, which has
not been commonly used prior to the
war"
Mr. Mcbride then goes on to show
how the prices are jumping because of
this demand. What are you going to
d. about it? The National Emergency
Food Garden commission is now send
ing out its second million of drying
ard canning manuals. They are free.

NEW COIFFURE To
BE: LIGHT AND FLUFFY

ATLANTA, Ga, August 27.-The new
style of couture this fall is going to
be fluffy, according to Atlanta nillin-
ers and other authorities in matters
OF feminine fashions.
1t seems that the girls have dis
covered that the men are not especial
ly fond of the style of plastering the
hair straight back from the forehead,
la valeska Surratt, or la some
sort of drowned rat, as a critic of the
style has termed it.
Give US the fluffy curls is the de
mand of the masculine sex, and for
once in the worlds history it seems
that the women are preparing to ac-
cede to the wishes of the men folks.
The high head dress will be favored
for evening wear, somewhat in the
Spanish style, while for daytime, the
knot will be worn low In either event
the hair in front i'll be dressed in sim
pie, fluffy style.

Watch The Type Of Plant
Stalks of the predominating type in
the row or field, should be chosen, il
equally resistant and well fruited as
others. Get the form of the ideal
stalk we'll fixed in your mind, and
look for it. Remember the type from
year to year, and don't change unless
you should change to 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 a 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 1, so as to prevent crossing
with the fruitful and resistant plants.
