Increasing The Oil Content
Of Cotton Seed By Selection
L. E. Rast, Jr. Prof. of Aqronomv.
Ga. State College of Agriculture.

AS result of four years work in
the Cotton Industry Laboratory of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture
1t was found that the oil content of
cotton seed is an inherent character.
1stic of the variety and that the per
centage of oil in the seed of any va
rlety can be increased by selection
with no corresponding loss of other
desirable qualities. There are slight
variations from year to year depend
ing upon the season, but these environ
mental factors influence all varieties
alike, and the seed of varieties that
were high. in oil content the first year
have remained so during subsequent
seasons. In general way, the varie-
ties with the highest proportion of
meats to hulls produce the most oil;
but there is no positive correlation be-
tween percentage Of meats and oil
content since the percentage of oil
in the meat varies with the variety.
The difference between the seed of
the highest and lowest oil yielding va
rieties for the three years was 1914 gal
Ions per ton. This means that by
growing the superior sorts and elm
mating the inferior ones the aver
age value of cotton seed could be in
creased $500 to $1,000 per ton.
Our experiments have clearly
shown that there is no decrease in
yield of lint cotton as the oil con-
tent in the seed is increased; but on
the other hand, the strains showing
the greatest oil content in the seed
are the highest yielders of lint cot
ton per acre. Thus in addition to high
oil content, it seems the seed can be
made more valuable by reason of the
high yield of lint. With an annual
crush of 100000 tons of seed in Geor-
gia, attention to this line of work will
result in the addition Of at least S.
100000 year to the agricultural in
come of our state.

How TO Save Onions
7. n. Mediation, Professor Of Horti-
culture, State College of Aqri.

The great trouble that the Geor-
ga farmer has with onions is hold
ing them through the winter. The fol-
lowing methods of handling are rec
commended in order to save the onion
crop. The usual practice is not to
harvest onions until the cops are
thoroughly dead. This, under our
conditions, is mistake. AS soon as
the first few inches of the top begins
to yellow and die the onions should
be either plowed out with d small
one-horse pillow, or one should go
through the field with a potato hook
or tine hoe and pull each onion over
on It's side. In this way the top dies
u0"1a and drios out without making
point of entry for water into the
onions where the top bends and
splits just above the bulb. after the
top has died and dried and the onion
has pretty well dried out it should be
removed from the field and spread in
a well ventilated, airy place. Here
the curing is completed. After this
the tops may be removed and the
onions put in racks Or crates in a
storage room where they may be pro-
tected from freezing.
If the Georgia farmer can save the
onion crop this year, even the small
crop OF nome garden, it will mean a
great deal OF food for use this winter.

lSpecial to The Republican,

NACO, Ariz., Sept 10.-Trusting that the flag he was presenting to the men of the First Arizona Infantry would forever remain undefiled by alien hands and would go ever forward and never backward, Governor Thomas E. Campbell of the state of Arizona, entrusted to hands of men of the Fighting First" the first state emblem ever possessed by the regiment.
 The governors visit was made the occasion of a review of the entire regi- ment, every man, horse and mule turn ing out to do honor to the states chief The usual military ceremonies of es- corting and presenting the colors were gone through with, following which the whole command passed in review in front of Governor Campbell. The gov ernor seemed greatly pleased with the splendid appearance of the men and smiled his approval as battalion after battalion and detachment after de- tachment swept by in an unbroken line.
 Following the review, the regiment was drawn up in hollow square and the governor addressed the men.
 He stated that the flag which he was presenting was the product first of Arizona, that is was first used by rifle teams of the regiment in their annual pilgrimages to the east; later it was used at the dedication of the battle ship Arizona. Its third public appear

ance was far removed from the launching ways of that gigantic mar vel of fighting machinery, but at the same time the occasion was just as historic He stated it was probably the last time he would have the op- portunity to review the regiment, and that in a few short months, the men assembled here would be facing halls of German bullets, or listening to the whine of shrapnel on the west front. He hoped that when the flag reached the firing line it would go ever forward and like the historic emblem presented to the Rough Riders by the women of Phoenix it would ever be borne for ward to victory.
 The regiment is continuing to be the most popular organization on the bor- der Night after night the camp is visited by residents of the nearby towns, who are anxious to do their bit in making life more comfortable for the Arizona men. Each concert by the regimental band draws several hundred visitors. There were over 800 visitors present at the flag presentation this evening.
 Following the dismissal of the regi- ment the governor held an informal reception on the parade grounds sev- eral hundred of the enlisted men taking occasion to shake hands with him. He | knew practically every man who i stepped up to him, calling many of them by name.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. l0-A letter written by Governor James E.

These expenditures, commonly called the chicken salad case, covering groceries, meats, vege- tables and automobile accessories. the supreme court on March 2S held illegal
 Another letter written by MT. Fer guson to Judge A. G. Brook and the other judges of the court of civil ap- peals at Beaumont, was read. It criti- cized a decision of the court in the Dayton Lumber company's case which took from the governor and his assist ants the title to certain land they sold to the lumber company.

PETROGRAD, Sept 10.-Concerning the details and developments of Korn- iloffs rebellion, the ministers of the provisional government refues to make public the details, but the Associated Press from fragmentary sources, has been able to collect the main facts.
 At o'clock Saturday afternoon after Premier Kerensky had inspected a deputation of Russian soldiers from the Balkans, Deputy Lvoff called him by telephone and demanded an inter- view, declaring that his mission was of great importance. At the interview Lvoff declared that he had come as General Korniloffs plenipotentiary in order to demand the surrender of all power into Korniloff's hands. M. Lvoff said that this demand did not emanate from Korniloff only, but was supported by a group of political workers meaning an organization of duma members, Moscow industrial in terests and other conservatives, which had played the role of opposition at the national conference at Moscow
 This group said M. Lvoff, did not object to Kerensky personally but de- manded that he transfer the fortfolio of war to M. SavinlSoff, assistant min ister of war who all along had sup ported Korniloffs demand. M. Lvoff added:
 If you agree, we invite you to come to headquarters and meet General Korniloff, giving you solemn guaran- tee that you will not be arrested"
 Premier Kerensky replied that he was amazed. and described Korniloff's s ultimatum as an act of affrontery and treason so incredible that he was un- able to believe his ears. Therefore he resolved to communicate with General Korniloff direct. In an exchange of

 According to government officials the Tageblatt on Saturday published statements instructing Germans in this country how to evade the postal | laws and forward letters to Germany. In these statements. government of | ficers say a man described as III.
