OF COTTON FOR NORTH
GEORGIA

les VI COIlON fOR NORTH
GEORGIA.
J. II. F., Beatun, Ca: I wish 10 know
what is the best variety OF cotton for north
Georgia. What do you think OF the Rus
sell cotton:
Several varieties of cotton may be
grown to advantage in north Georgia
Among these are we'll selected, early ma
turing strains of C1eveland's Big Boil,
Broadwell, College No. ] and other early
maturing sorts. A good many individ-
uals are growing these strains of cot
ton and you should not have difficulty
in obtaining a satisfactory quality of
seed. Cleveland's Big Boil, as you no
doubt know, is a variety widely grown
throughout the state of Georgia In
fact, 1t is probably the most extensive
ly grown of any variety now cultivated
in Georgia
Broadwell's is a variety improved near
Alpharetta and is a good standard va
riety for north Georgia.
College No. l was developed at the
College of Agriculture. 1t has many
good qualities to commend it, such as
earliness and length and strength of
staple. The seed of this strain also run
high in oil and nitrogen content. II APP
pears TO be a variety we'll adapted for
growth in those sections where the boil
weevil is likely to be destructive by
reason of it's early maturing qualities.
The Russell variety of cotton is one of
the older sorts which does not seem IA
be grown TO any greas extent at the
present time. We are inclined to think
YOU would find the other strains men,
toned more desirable.

Ordinarily Christmas night produces

Marooned for two days and three
nights In the Cascades In company
with other passengers of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railroads
was the experience Of District Fores-
ter II. II. Rutledge, who has just re-.
turned to his headquarters here. Heavy
rains In Washington caused serious
washouts just a short time after Mr.

and the North Coast was blocked. To
add to the discomfort OF the passen-
gers another washout occurred a few
miles behind. and the NARROWING of the
Northern Facific's crack train was
complete. There were sufficient pro-
visions on the diner. however. to feed
the passengers for the 80 hours the
train was stalled and residents of the
little town of Lester provided enter
tainment for the luckless travellers.
After repairs had been partly COM
pleted. the train was switched onto the
Milwaukee tracks and used that road
to North Yakima. MIR. Rutledse went
to Seattle for conference with for
mer District Forester +. A. Silcox, who
is now director Of labor on the NORTH

Pull Logs.

Steadily with crosscut saw, two
men worked through the cold Monday
and Christmas day on the big logs
that arc jammed in the drift of wood
that came down the river last spring
and lodged at the head of the slough
on the south side above the Van Buren,
street bridge. They were getting out
firewood. There have been Others at
work there ever since the high water
receded--there at the other Jam which
formed just at the bridge. All through
the late summer and early autumn men
and boys and women gophered at the
great piles OF wood, according to their
strength pulling out big sticks or lit
tie, and there were many cords of fire
wood removed. One Of the wood rust
lers estimated a month ago that there
had been more than l00 cords con-
served from the heaps of waste.
Old Man Loads Automobile.
One Of the most Industrious of the
wood cleaners was an old man with an
automobile. He ran his car close 10
the east side railing of the bridge
and then descended by means OF q
crude ladder that he had constructed to
the jam below. Getting out what wood
he could--his were all small pieces
ne would bind them with n rope and
haul the fagot up to the waiting ma
chine. For many days he worked at
this; he must have retrieved three or
four cords.
Teams Yank Out Logs.
Others have worked on "A larger scale,
with single horses or teams. They
have attacked the logs, winch have
been yanked out Of the jam and
dragged to the island, where they have
been split Mp and loaded upon wagons.
One of these men got 10 cords for the
home supply
Three black men with n much
spliced wagon and n horse just as rio
kety worked long shifts on the lower
jam during November. They tugged out
a lot of wood and the wagon went
webbing away with a load so heavy
that it seemed il must be the vehicle S

All through the autumn and even now
the most interesting of the wood
gatherers has been a man who pushed
