Times. They had tn. ee things In

was able to Withstand the boil wee.
vii. how prolific 1t seemed to be, and
how much OF 1t Mr.. Nichols of
Smyrna could pick In a day. The
cotton had been beaten by three rains
and there was much rain on the
ground, and the clouds were heavy.
Four hours and half hours after Mr..
Nichols started, the rain began and
the test had to be abandoned. Dur
ing that time he had picked 275
pounds of seed cotton-st the rate
OF 81 pounds an hours wis con-
vinced that if the first e kng had
been made with the b i And the
storm cotton pickle, hat he
could easily have comiQlne 500
pound bale in q day.

farm makes this report:

L. an a half grown Condition. this
boil would be far more difficult to
puncture than any other common va
riety OF cotton.
I'VE believe that with perfect
stand and perfect cultivation this cot
ton would make a bale and a half to
the acre under present boil weevil
conditions.
Six years ago. Mr.. Cochran start
ed experimenting to try to develop
a cotton that would be immune from
the boil weevil. He selected white.
green and brown seed from cotton
that he thought would be best suited
to his purpose. After two years of Sc
lecting and rejecting he found sew
eral bolls with something of the
thick and tough inside lining that he
was looking for. Immediately he dis
carded the rest OF the cotton and be-
gan seeking more types of the vice.
Vil-proof cotton. This year he had
seed enough to plant a fair sized crop
with the result already told, that
he grew bale and half to the acre
and had crop that the weevil
seemed unable to harm.
Mr.. Cochran took his cotton to the
Southeastern Fair, where it attract
cd the greatest attention. Experts on
cotton seed Oil said that the seed
from this cotton is worth $45 a ton
for the oil content alone Linters ex-
perts said that the lint was as near
ly perfect as any that had been de-
veloped.
The cotton was entered in the
contest for ten best stalks and took
rirst place over every other variety.
After the fair closed. Mr.. Cochran
put his cotton exhibit at the state
capital. where 1t can now be seen.
There seems no doubt about the
fact that he has developed the near
est thing to boil weevil proof cotton
ever grown in the south.

stitute for the daily resort to the
sources Of moral strength that
are found in family worship.
And if we are too hurried and
preoccupied to find time for the
daily prayer, we are also too
restless for the quiet enjoyment
of real home life. Husband,
wife, son and daughter too often
have different and incompatible
ways of spending their leisure
hours and are disposed to find
their interests and recreations
outside the family living room.
The effect is unfortunate on the
parents, and doubly unfortunate
on the children, who pass toe
