The above photograph says more
in fewer words about the necessity
for pure seed than cou!d-all the
books in the world on the subject.
The photograph is of an actual
mounting made by H. Gregory Me
Keever of the Bureau Of Plant IN
dustry of the L. S. Department of
Agriculture. McKeever went out
into 4 field planted with pure Aea-
Ia seed and selected one seed from
one boil of each OF 10 successive
plants in a row. The combings II
column one show these seeds. He
then went out into a field planted
with ordinary mixed Or "gin run
seed from field that had made
lover a bale to the acre and Sc
leeted one seed from one boil IN
each of 10 successive plants in
row. The eombings in column two
show these seeds. SO striking was
the difference that he went into
another field planted with pure
seed and secured 10 more combings
shown in column three, and went
into fourth field planted with
impure seed and secured the seed
from 10 successive plants, resulting
in the combings shown in column |
four.
As we all know cotton cross-pol
lenizes. That is, the pollen from
the blossoms of Aeala Of some other /
variety, carried on the bodies Of |
bees or other insects fertilizes or
pollenizes the stigma in the bios
,oms of Mebane or Durango or
whatever other variety Of cotton
the insect happens to light or. And
the cotton planted from that seed
has some Of the characteristics OF
Acala. and some Of the. characters
tics Of the other variety, but mos-
Of the characteristics OF tR4s new
hybrid are degenerate OF inferior
to those of Aeala or the other va
riety. And when The seed Of this
hybrid is planted we have still more
degeneration or running o&- az
cotton growers call it. The result
is decrease in yield, q greatly in

II. H. Clark Of Calexico stated

There were 2oJ other samples on

Because the cotton WAS not uniform

Then the great hurler put every
thing he had into his work. Scott
fouled to Goose Goslin and the latter
whipped the ball to the plate so fast
that Pipp did not dare attempt to
score after the catch. Bush. nenown-
ed for his batting prowess, waved
Justify for third strike. Witt
though. slammed a fast one toward
right. but Sam Rice came to the aid
of the master moundsman with a
magnificent catch and the danger
was past.
In the seventh. the Yanks kicked up
a little fuss and managed to land
runners on first and second bases
with two out, Johnson, though, was
equal to the occasion and famed
Meusel for the third time in the after

All told. the Yanks got six hits off
third innings. He gave four bases
on balls, whitfield seven batters and
hit one. BY blanking the Yanks III
