There has been more or less critl-
cism directed against the food adj
ministration because Of the recent
slump in the prices Of cotton
seed. From all evidence obtaina-
BILE it seems that this decline was
brought about in order to cause q
rush Of seed to the market, both by
demoralizing the farmers and to
pinch the small speculatcr. The
following letter to Congressman
Larsen fully explains Herbert
Hoover's position and policy to
crowd out the speculater and force
the mills to either reduce the prices
on their products or pay the farm
ers better prices for his cotton SEED
and peanuts.

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 well fixed in your mind, and
look for it. Remember the type from
wear to year, and don't change unless
Won 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

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 l and
August 1, so as to prevent crossing
with the fruitful and resistant plants.

Atlanta, August, (special)-There
is 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 that
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, inyolv-
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-
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 al
least half bale.
Pedigreed Breeding
Then, 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 tt
itself. The next season a short row
is planted from each stalk. Planted
side by side, the opportunity is giver
for easy comparison, and ascertain
ing which is the most resistant ant
has the strongest transmitting power
This is important to determine, TO
plants, like animals, transmit thei
good as well as their bad qualities t
their progeny.
The seed from the row showing tn
greatest resistance TO disease and TIL
greatest yield, is saved and plantet
next season in a multiplying patch
The seed from this in turn is saved
nd the following season as man,
acres as possible should be plante
with it. Thus, from one stalk, i
three years, very large quantity o
seed may be secured.
In individual selection great car
must be used in securing the bes
plants. 1t is often noticed that plant

Hon. w. W. Larsen,
House Of Representatives,
Washington, D. G..
Dear Mr.. Larsen.
With regard to Our conversation
on the cotton-seed situation in the
South, the Food Administration
has no authority and has no inten-
ton Of fixing any price on cotton
seed, The food bill, however, pro-
vides that all middle men between
the grower and retailer Of finished
goods may be placed under license,
the object Of which license is to see
that speculative and unfair prices
are not taken for the handling and
manufacture of such commodities.
We, therefore, intend within the
next few days to place all cotton
seed buyers, crushers and refners
under license the object Of which is
to see that the price realized for his
seed by the grower. receives an in
depreciation to the consumer Of
cotton-seed products, with the nor
NAL and proper profits for the
handling and manufacture,
II is our belief that this interven-
ton on our part is to the material
benefit Of the cottonseed producer,
as we'll as the consumer, and, fur
thermore, we believe that it win
work out to the benefit Of the dis
tributing and manufacturing indus.
tries themselves in eliminating I'M
fair competitive methods. These
measures cannot in any way effect
the prices Of cotton-seed and the
diferentials to be allowed TO each
lins of distribution or manufacture
gill be determined ON basis Of a
fair cost Of handling, and a fair
profit calculated on the normal pre-
war charges with proper allowances
for increased cost during the war.
We are establishing no fixed ba.
sic, but will require a complete
statement from every handler and
manufacturer of cotton seed pro-
ducts, of the cost of his raw mate
rial and the realizstion that he
made srom it, and we will expect
him, under the terms Of the license
to adhere to the law with regard to,
a proper profit. Under the Food
Bill all accounts Of licenses are sub
iect to inspection by the Food Ad-
ministration, and this viii be taken
care of in due course by the admin
istration.
It cannot be to the interest of
either the grower Or the consumer
that large speculative profits shall
bemade between these two positions.
1t is precisely for this purpose that
the Food Bill was passed. and we
consider it our duty to carry out
will Of congress to effect this
Yours faithfully.

Liberty Bonds An Investment

The appeal TO the people to subscribe
TO the Liberty Loan bonds has LAID en-
tircly too much stress upon patriotism
and too little on sound business reasons.
The ordinary citizen. with small saw
inas. can make no better investment.
Banks have been known TO fail; corpora
tons, whose stock is supposed to be gilt
edged. have suffered business depres-
sion; real estate has deprecated, owing
to a change in the tide Of the city's life.
All forms of investing money have some
element Of hazard.
In Liberty Loan bonds there is abso-
lutely no risk. Each bond is the prom
ise of the United States government,
backed by the entire might and wealth
of the nation. This makes the bonds the
safest investment in the world.
At one and the same time each Ameri-
can who buys these bonds helps his coun-
try win this war for righteous cause.
and places his money where it is safe
and will work for him.
Every man or woman anxious to save
for the rainy day, or for inactive old
age, should invest in Liberty Loan bonds.
Every man or woman anxious 10 give
the child of the family an education or
a nest-egg some years hence should in
vest in Liberty Loan bonds.
Every man or woman DESTROYS OF max
