years, in season and out OF season he
was the leader of the struggle to nre-
serve and open markets for the sale
and involves too many distinct contests
IN the Senate and out of the Senate i ,
be given in detail in this article.
His first bill was in the fall of 1914
hundred and fifty millions of bonds for
five million bales of cotton. The hin
provided that the cotton should be kept
OIL the market for two years. In this
light ne was not successful.
AS the result of a resolution intro
duced by Senator Hoke Smith in the Sen
ate on October 22nd 1914, the English
government, on October goth. conceded
the right OF American citizens to shin
their cotton unmolested to all points ii,
northern Europe Including Germany, and,
as q result of this concession. over thres
millions OF bales were shipped in De-
cember, January ana February of the
following winter.
This raised the price of cotton from
below six to ten cents pound, and from
that time forward the senior senator from
Georgia kept up the fight for cotton mar
ketS until finally the Federal War Trades
Board took down ali restrictions, and per-
mitted cotton to go wherever a buyer
could be found

When he entered the Senate, although
offered more SNOWY committees, he IN.
sisted unon going unon the Committee
on Agriculture, as there he could render
greater service to the farming interests
of his state.
Senator Smith is now member of
the following committees: Committee on
Agriculture, Committee on Judiciary
Committee on Education and Labor, and
Committee on Rules. He is also a
member of the Democratic Steering Com
mittee Of seven, who manage the DEM
ocratic policies IT. the Senate.
In the early part of 1918. in recogni-
ton of the constructive and executive
ability Of Senator Smith, his democratic
colleagues created an additional place
on the Committee oh Military Affairs, for
the expressed purpose of placing Sena-
which he rendered to help win the war
value. All Georgians can rely upon the
influence of Senator Smith to protect
their interests in Washington.

All OF this loss or great portion OF
it, may be prevented by planting pure,
improved, pedigreed seed Of a suitable
variety.
II you are not growing cotte-
adapted to your section, we would sug.
gest that your purchase from some one
in your section of the state, some good,
improved, pedigreed seed OF a variety
adapted to your soil. The Depart
ment urges all who are growing
good variety to make a mass selection
from which to secure seed for plant.
ing an increased plot next year, This
method OF improving cotton by mass
selection should be practiced by all
cotton growers in order to increase
their yield Of cotton and maintain ita
purity.
II you are growing two or three va
rites Of cotton on your place, go over
the different varieties end decide
which one you wish to plant next
year. Having determined on the va.
riety to select seed from, go over the
field very carefully and note the dir
ferent types OF cotton stalks found In
it. You viii find few stalks very
we'll fruited, many poorly fruited, and
some with scarcely any fruit at ell.
Note the type of STALK that produces
the most fruit. You will probably find
that this type Of stalk produces the
most cotton in all parts Of the field.
whether the stalk is large on small.
Having determined the type of stalk,
now proceed to select the best indi-
vidual stalks Of this type.
Consider These Points
In Selecting Your Seed
In determining the individual stalks
to select you should carefully consider
the following points: Type of stalk,
fruitfulness, earliness and disease re-
distance. Select and tag enough OF
these good Individual stalks to secure
a hundred pounds or more Of seed
cotton. Pick on. TIE cotton from
these individual stalks, ahead OF the
cotton pickers, or Instruct them ret
to pick the tagged stalks. Take this
cotton to the gin aGia feed 1t to the
gin by hand and let the seed run
out on a sheet spread on the floor.
In this way you cen gin a small
amount of seed cotton and keep the
seed from becoming mixed with the
seed in the seed auger
II you do not select enough good
stalks to make more than twenty-five
pounds of seed Gotten, send this by
prepaid express to the Georgia State
Board of Entomology, Atlanta, Ca,
and they will gin it for you and de.
termine the percentage of lint 1t turns
out and return the seed by express
collect. There will be no charge for
the ginning, but the lint will be kept
to partially pay for the expenses OF
the op ,ration.
The cotton seed thus secured
should be planted next year in 2
patch to itself as much as possible,
and if the seed from this patch is
carefully saved it will plant large
field the following year The Depart.
ment has ISSUED a circular on the
value and Importance Of maintaining
the purity Of cotton seed.
For copy Of this circular, for bull
letin on variety tests o. 1918, or for
advice in regard to the variety adapted
to your section and list Of parties from
whom good improved cotton seed may
be purchased, address A. G. Lewis

fOIJ CAN IMPROVE YOUR COTTON
BY THE PROPER seed SELECTION
State Board of Entomology Tells How This Can
Be Done-Annomce s Discontinuance of
Free Seed.

Atlanta, September 3-(Speoial)-
AT recent meeting of the Board Of
Entomology 1t was decided to discon-
tinue the free distribution of cotton
seed. This action was taken after due
deliberation, because OF the fact that
for the past ten years the Board has
distributed thousands Of bushels Of
free cotton seed.
During the past two years 10 to 20
bushels Of free cotton seed have
been sent to each of 1875 counties.
From this it will be seen that the wilt
resistant cotton seed is now we'll dis
tributed over the state, and good seed
of the wilt resistant cotton and other
varieties may be purchased from these
cooperative cotton growers or others
who are giving special attention to tho
Improvement Of their cotton by seed
selection.
There Is one or more cooperative
growers in each of these counties The
Department lis helping these men to
improve their Gotten by selection,
teaching them how to combat insects
and diseases that may attack their cot
ton, giving them instruction on how
to keep the cotton from becoming mix
ed at the gin, and impressing upon
them the value and Importance Of pure
cotton seed. The Board of Entonol-
ogy believes that by devoting more
time and money to this important
work, they can render the cotton
growers of Georgia more service and
do them more good than by continu-
ing to send out free cotton seed.
All of the cooperative cotton grow
ers, and others who are growing a
good cotton for their section, that
came from good, improved cotton
seed, should now plan to save all the
seed they can to sell, as there will
probably be a good demand for 1t this
winter.
Value and Importance
OF Improved Gotten Seed
The value of pure, improved pedi-
greed cotton seed is being realized
more and more each year by the cot
ton growers. With the boil weeyil to
contend with and the presence Of cot
ton wilt and other diseases, it is be-
coming a more difficult task to raise
cotton profitably, than 1t was when
these insects and diseases were ncA
SO prevalent. All Of the work and ex-
periments conducted on growing cot
ton under boil weevil conditions, have
shown that half the fight on the boil
weevil consists In sowing variety
adapted to that section where the
cotton is is to be grown; and that pure,
improved, pedigreed seed of this va
riety should be planted.
Under boil weevil conditions 1t is
important to have every cotton stalk
produce as much seed cotton as pos
Sible. This cannot be accomplished
when "gin run" seed is planted II
you will carefully go through cotton
fields planted from "gin run" seed,
and note the productive and unpro-
ductive stalks, you will soon discover
that there are many unproductive
stalks.
II field contains only 5 to 1917
Of these unproductive stalks they may
reduce the yield so as to cause the
grower to lose, instead OF make
money, from his cotton. II, in addition
to S to 1919 of the cotton stalks be-
ing unproductive, there is also loss
of from S to 1919 from wilt and other
diseases, the loss will be still greater
