Varieties of Cotton Adapted to North
Georgia

Varieties of Cotton Adapted to North
Georgia
r. A. S., Lyerly, Ga, writes:
What kind of cottonseed would
you recommend for this part of
Georgia? For land that has not
been in cultivation for two years,
what kind of fertilizing would
you recommend using, land being
very good bottom land? Do you
think calcium arsenate will be
cheaper next year or higher?
For your section of Georgia we be-
lieve that a good strain of College
No. or Cleveland will prove very
satisfactory. We have tested large
number of varieties of cotton during
the past fifteen years, and these two
have stood out above all the rest for
cultivation in north Georgia under
conditions of boil weevil infestation.
College No. 1 is a strain developed at
this institution. 1t is unusually early
as to maturity. 1t also has a good
staple. and the bolls are relatively
large. Standard strains of Cleveland
will also be found very fine, however,
for your section.
It is difficult to say what the price
Of calcium arsenate will be. Seasonal
conditions will have much to do with
the demand. There is not an over
abundance of it, as L understand. On
the other hand, we do not see any
reason why the cost should go high
er, as this material can be made rel
ativelY cheap, and a large quantity
can be made available if the interests
concerned desire to coordinate their
effort. We have not bought our sup
ply for another season as yet. 1t is
impossible to say what the state will
be able to do about this proposition.
The board of entomology, Atlanta,
Ga, can give inside information rela-
tive to this point, and L am sure will
be pleased to do so.
Land that has not been in cultiva-
ton for two years should be broken

If it didn't she'd been holding down

he told her he wanted something to

her if she had a gentleman friend and
she said there is no such thing, for

My Friend:

or maybe it was someone who didn't

that haven't been able to get rid of
yet or give away here. Hope you like
them.
Outside the Bible and some alman-
acs, the Salome Sun has the biggest
unpaid circulation of any publication
on earth-almost a quarter of mill
lion copies now-and / haven't got any
new religion or patent medicine to
sell either. My only religion is: "Be
happy here no matter where you are
God only knows where you may be
next"-and Epson salts is the only
medicine I have ever found that al
