There is a big difference between
improved cotton seed and just cot
ton seed Experiments conducted
by the Georgia state board Of entom-
ology have proven beyond question
that the difference in value is so
great as that between pure bred hogs,
such as the Durocs and Berkahires,
and the piney woods "raaor-baok."
Many farmers have learned The i'm
portance OF this difference. They
have found fron ac;ual experience,
involving losses, hat it is not safe
to plant the ordinary varieties OF cot
ton 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 togetll-
er. This cotton is carefully ginned
and the seed planted next year for
the seed patch. Enough stalks should
be selected to plant for bale or at
least half a bale
Pedigreed Breeding.
Then, a few farmers in each coun-
ty should take up the work of pedi-

ed from each stalk. Planted side by

good as well as their bad qualities

MANY HOGS KILLED

Valdosta, Ga, Sept. 14.-Parties

the recklessness of the average auto
tomoble drivers on the public roads
of the county. In less than eight
miles three dead hogs were seen by
the roadside. At the present prices Of
hogs, these three victims of automo-
biles would represent at least five
hundred dollars, with the hogs at an
average weight of one hundred
pounds. There is a great deal of
complaint from various sections of
the county about so many calves and
hogs being killed.

Watch The Typ4 q Plant.


Stalks of the predominating type
in the row or field, should be chosen,
if equally resistant and well fruited
as others. Get the form of the ideal
stalk well fixed in your mind, and
look fer it. Remember the type from
year to year, and don't change unless
must be used in securing the best
plants 1t is often noticed that plants
vary greatly in the same field, In
this you should change to a different
strain or seed variety.
Select from stalks having long
fruiting limbs close to the ground,
and with joints close together. Get
those with fewer large stalked
branches most numerous. AS rule
Il is best to select the plants that
have most of the fruit on the lower
part Of tho stalk, for these begin
fruting early,
Maintain the fruiting and resistant
qualities by "rouging." Do this both
in the progeny rows and in the field.
This means cutting out the diseased
and stunted stalks about July 1 and
August /. so as to prevent crossing
with the fruitful and resistant plants
