Mr. Editor:
Having just returned from the
Hills and Mountains of North Caro-
lima in the highest altitude where cot
ton is grown successfully where we
went to look after the growing of our
Kelly's Early Bird Cotton Seed and to
buy few cars Of other well known
varieties such as Wanamaker Cleve
land Big Boil, Cooks Improved and
other well known varieties, we
thought our farmer friends would en-
joy reading. something concerning
growing crops in North Carolina.
We found all crops green and grow
ing and after oanvassing over two
counties we only saw very few open
bolls of cotton on account of the cold
climate and high altitude and short
season their crops are at least two
weeks later than ours, and this is the
reason why our Kelly's Early Bird
Cotton Seed changing climate grew
the first bale of cotton in Georgia
this year and sold for 40c pound, be
sides this territory is the home OF
the original Sugar Loaf Cotton Seed
commonly known as the early King.
which is an early dwarf small four
lock cotton, but our Kelly's Early
Bird is an reimproyed variety medium
boil with a majority five lock cotton,
K. e. B. Cotton seed is the earliest
and dost prolific cotton grown.
Most of the tobacco crops were
matured and gathered and being cur
ed and sold We attended one public
auction tobacco sale. as all tobaccos
are carried to tobacco houses graded
PIT up to the highest and best public
bidders. All tobacco factories send
representatives to bid and we saw
tobacco sell at 1Sc to 45c per pound
which had formerly sold for &c 10 zoe
per pound, Ga suggestion) Why could
not our cotton be sold in the same
way and have all cotton factories to
send buyers and cut out so many 10
cal buyers and commission men
We have arranged for some good
tobacco seed and can furnish all
those who would lige to grow same

We visited the State Agricultural
College at Raleigh and several seed
growing and dealing firms and have
made our arrangements to grow, buy
and sci all of the latest and best va
r4eties.
One thing that we learned that
there was great many fake or ras-
cally and prominent seed firms up
there buying and selling any old seed

perfect, but we have tried to be par
ticular and get the best for the best
