FARMERS SHOULD TEST THEIR COTTON SEED

Washington March 23.-(Special)- Warning to the cotton growers of the whole Mississippi valley from Alabama to central Texas, that the cotton crop in many localities may prove complete failure if good tested seed is not used. i, given by the United States department of agriculture. While many farmers know that much of the seed counted on for this year is of low vitality, there has not been a full realization of the present danger to the cotton crop, says the fed- eral specialists. Tests in different locali- ties show that much of the seed this year has less than 50 per cent germination, whereas good planting seed should gerhi- nate approximately 75 per cent.
 Farmers are advised by the United States department of agriculture to as-
 certain the character of their seed in ad-
 vance by utilizing a simple test; substan-
 tially the same as the so-called rag doifi
 seed test which has been widely recom- mended by the department for. corn seed By this method the farmer can ascertain In five days the condition of his planting seed.
 To test cotton seed by this method an ordinary towel or piece of muslin about eighteen inches wide and two or three feet long is used.t The cloth should be spread out and marked off legnthwise into three sections so that the two sides can De 1OlueQ over anu ildue to meet oS the center then two lots of 100 seeds each should be counted out and spread out in two different parts of the middle section or portion of the towel. The sides of the towel are then folded over so that the edges meet in the center, covering the seed completely. The cloth should be pressed down firmly over the side and then rolled up, corncob or piece of broom handle being used for core The doll made in this fashion IS tied in the middle with string and then given & soaking in luke-warm water Tor sev eral inmates until it is wet through. After draining off the surplus moisture so that it will not drip or become satu- rated at the bottom. the doll is placed where it can be kept warm and moist l. should be left for five days in tenn perature of about 80 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night. It should not be placed near a window where It IS iKe- w to get too cool nor near the fire should not be soaked again, but Kept moist by sprinkling each day.
 At the end of five days unroll the doll and count the number of sprouted seeds in each of the two lots. Healthy seeds will send out white radicles or root pe- eiunings less than half an inch long, inc number of well-sprouted seeds in ca ch lot represents the percentage Of goor seeds. With this knowledge the farmer can decide for himself whether the seed which he plans to use is ht 10 plant now tbicklv it must be planted to provide a normah stand and how large a stock should be reserved for replanting.

 This amendment would effect every cotton mill operator in the United States, aud it is understood that the operators heartily support the amend ment It promises to encounter the opposition of the so-called cotton gam bier.

REPUBLICANS WATCH ALABAMA CONTEST

l Washington, March 3-(Special)- Washington headquarters of the Gen. Leonard Wood campaign regards the Ala bama squabhle between several gentle men who would have piloted the fight in
 Alabama, as settled. Senator Moses of New Hampshire, the closest man in the Cnited States to General Wood, and who l is in supreme charge respecting southern operations, has stated uneduivocally that 1 J. O. Thompson of Birmingham shall manage the Wood campaign in Alabama. While Washington headquarters would evince no surprise were those deposed by Senator Moses to reopen negotiations with Frank Hitchcock. who is organizs ing for Wood, and with whom Mir, Thompson is pesona non grata, it is not regarded as possible that they will make headway.
 When Hitchcock secured the right to or ganize in various sections for General Wood, there was little surprise here when he attempted to undo what Senator Moses had done regarding NIr Thompson. In the 1912 convention in Chicago, Mr. Thompson, an ardent progressive. bolted the old organization along with his lead CT, Theodore Roosevelt. Mir. Hitchcock, then hand-in-glove with the reactionary element. was naturally greatly peeved,
 and expressed his opinion very freely re- garding MT. Thompson and other Roose- welt lieutenants who had left the Tatt machine to run headlong on the rocks. Although this fact was known, it did cause some surprise when Hitchcock, in effort to eliminate Thompson, sent his dispatch to Pope M. Long of Jasper, who, has always been regarded as a member of the stand-pat wing of the organiza- tion. and who. it was generally thought, was more interested in securing an unin- structed delegat tioa than in securing a delegation instructed for any one of the several republican candidates.
 Senator Moses, with whom Mir. Thomls son conferred on his visit to Washington Hast week, declared that he had made l up his mind when he appointed Mir Thompson February 4, 1920, and that his mind had not been changed and would not be changed. Thus assured, MT Thompson returned to Birmingham, and will immediately engage himself in an effort to secure delegates instructed for Wood.
 In course of his efforts, it will~be dem onstrated just who among the leading I republicans of Alabama are for General Wood and who are for ..the most avail able man demonstrated after arrival in Chicago In other words. Washington understands that Thompson in his effort l to secure Wood delegates will clash with l those men who want an uninstructed del- | egation. And in this clash, every lead 1 ing republican will have to show his hand.
 1 As Wood Is regarded as the logical successor to the Roosevelt following. and
 as the Roosevelt following in a former clash with the Taft following In Ala bama, scored a to i victory, Washing ton understands that Wood sentiment predominates in Alabama, and that the old Taft leaders are endeavoring to se-
 cure a compromise by sending an unin- structed delegation to Chicago.
 | Washington is deeply interested in the
 Alabama situation as it promises to be the key to the whole southern situation.
