THE GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION,
‘EXPERIMENT, GEORGIA.
Variety Tests of Corn and Cotton For the
Y*ar 1807.
Experiment No. -Variety Test of Corn.
[From Bulletin No. 37. Now In Press]
Fifteen varieties of field corn entered
into this competition for first place. It
was intended to include only such vari
ties as were supposed to be of practically
the same general habit of growth and
period of maturity; because a test of
two varieties, one of which produces a
smaller and earlier maturing plant,
while the other is of robust habit and
later variety, would generally prove un
fair to one or the other, oftener to the
smaller and earlier variety. Two vari
eties, however, — Shannon’s Early and
Brown's Early Proljie— were included
ir. the list of tesioa varieties, and all
w' re planted under the same conditions
as to time, distance and fertilization
One acre of gray, loamv soil with
mostly yellow clay subsoil, was selected
for the test. It i.) one of the best acres
fai m, and produced a yield of
about 3S bushels of corn in 1894 There
were 52 rows across the acre, permitting
a triplication of each variety and some
thing over.

Table No. 1 gives the results, the va
rieties being arranged, not in the order
of planting, but according to yield.
Comment at this point is hardly
neeaed, especially in regard to varie
ties tested for the first time, except to
note any peculiar characteristic of a
newly tested variety. It is well known
to those who have had much experience
in testing varieties of corn tiiat some
kinds are quite variable in productive
ness, seeming to require peculiar con
d-tions to give the - best resu ts; while
other varieties seem more hardy to en
dure unfavorable conditions without se
rious loss in yield and quality.
For the reason just given table No. 11l
(not here printed) -was prepared to show
the yield for several years of such vari
eties as have been before tested. This
table shows that but two varieties,
,S7i tv's and Higgins’. have been teste;:
without intermissiou for 6 years, and
these rank 1 and 2 in the average yield
01 those years. These may be consid

jaclson’s “limbless” cotton.
Press Bulletin 53, October, 1697, gave
some interesting particulars m regard
to rhie. so-caited ••limbless” cotton. The
following is a reprint of the article ou
the subject as it originally appeared in
that little bulletin:
“This so-called ’Jackson’s Limbless
Cotton’ was first brought before the
public, under tnis name, in the fail ot
1893. It was said to have sprung from
Beeds obtained iu 1895 iu Central Africa.
It was claimed that it belonged to a
new genus; that it would produce four
to six bates of. lint per acre on ordinary
upland; that the lint is extra long, hue
and strong, etc.
The claim of African origin, and that
it is of anew genus of Gossypium, seems
to have been abandoned, and the sched
ule of its merits is as follows:
‘This cotton has become famous
throughout the cotton growing world,
and if. se- ms destined to work a revolu
tion in the oottou business.
(1) It is entirely limbless.
(2) The stalk grows from 10 to 14 feet
'nigh.
(3) The fibre is incomparably the
finest in the world.
(4) The fibre is remarkably strong and
one and a half inches long, perfectly
white, and has a satin-like touch.
(0) We have four acres in cultivation
this season, and expert oottou growers
aay that we will get 20 bales from the
four acres —that is, five bales to the
acre.
(6) It is the most prolific cotton in
the world.’
The price first fired for seeds of this
‘Limbless’ was SI.OO per 100 seeds, or
$3.50 per 500 seeds. At SIOO per 100
seeds one pound would cost S4O 00, and
one bushel #1.890 00! The price has re
cently been reduced to §7.00 per pound
of seed, or 1210.00 per ushei!’
The aboye are the claims put forward
for this remarkable cotton by its pro
moters.
After considerable difficulty the Di
rector succeeded in getting a small quan
tity of the seed (of unquestioned pu-ity)
and they were planted in direct compe
tition with 20 other varieties oompri--
ing the Station’s ‘Variety Test..’ G
course all the conditions affecting the
21 varieties were made precisely the
same as far as practicable.”
Then followed a table showing the
total yield per acre of each of the 21 va
rieties up to and including October (>.
the date of the third picking, showuu
that the so called "Limbless” stood 10th
in point of total yield of seed cotton
But as the final picking is now avail
able, that preliminary table is here
omitted. The Press Bulletin No. 30
goes on to say:
“The final pickings will probably
make a material change in. the rank of
some of the varieties; out it is not prob
able that No. 10 win be materially
changed.
Very soon after the cotton commence :
to limb and square, ana each variety to
deveip whatever was pecn-iar to itself,
it was suspected that the ‘Jackson Limb
less’ was either identical with a certain
old variety, or closely related to it. Af
ter the bolls commenced to op' ;i the
Director became sn risked that the so
represented aaw ‘limbless’ variety, was
identical with the old variety above al
luaed to, viz: ‘Welborn’s Pot,,' which
was grown on this Station in 1890 and
1892. Correspondence with the origi
nator of ‘Weiborn’s Pet’ variety, and
exchange of sections of stalks, confirmed
this conclusion of the icbmity of the so
called ’limbless’ with ‘Welborn’s Pe
in the judgment of both Mr. VVeiborn
and the Director.
It is therefore confidently affirmed
that ‘Jackson’s Litnbies.i C a-t-ou’ and
‘Welboiti’s 7 - are one and the same
variety.
■Weibe;.. 2 Pit’ ha? been befor® the
people for 10 o; 12 years.
Now for the specific claims made for
the Jackson Limbless’ by ita promoters,
before enumerated :
(1) It is not ‘entirely limbless,’ bat is
inclined to produce several (often five
or six) long branches from near the
ground. When very closely crowded
in the drill, however, many stalks will
be with ut these limbs and their nor
inal tendency (as with ‘cluster’ cottons
generally) to grow tail is much lu
creased.
(2) The stalks grow from 15 to 20 per
cent taller than most ordinary varieties
on the same soil. On exceedingly rich
soil, such as a rich alluvial, or a very
highly manured spot, they may attain
a height of 10, 12 or even 14 feet.
(8) The fibre (lint) is fairly good, bin
nothing extraordinary. It does not com
pare at all with Sea Island, Egyptian,
or even with Allen’s Long Staple lu the
above list, and would not cotnmaud a
higher price than the ordinary upland
short staples.
(4) The fibre is not remarkably strong,
aud is not one and a half incites ioug
Its length is from % to % o an iuci.
long, averaging abour % or an inch.
(5) The Director visited and examined
the ‘four acres’ referred to, early in
September, and estimated that a vielo
of ljg bales par acts might possibly b
secured, with favorable future cornu
tious. The land on which the four acre
patch was growing has been under very
high ouliure for years aud was heavily
fertilized with cow droppings and com
mercial fertilizers the present year; an.,
in the opinion of the Director is capabU
of producing 60 bushels of corn per acre
(6) The Station tests of 1890 and 189;
of ‘Welbrn’s Pet’ and of ’Jackson’
Limbless’ the present year prove th;v
it is not ‘the most prolific cotton in th
world. ’
In conclusion, the Director desires t
gay that this ootton is a fairly good va
riety on rich soils, or under high cui
ture. Mr. Wei born says it is not suites
to poor laud and poor culture. For years
past he has been carefully developing
its peculiarities with a view to fixing a
variety that will be better adapted tv
harvesting with the Machine Harvester
Especial attention has herein been
called to this so called 'limbless’ he
Cvnse of the extraordinary claims that
have been mde for it, and the unprece
dented high price asked for the se“d.
These claims are so apparently plausi
ble that the nususpectiug and oonfi ling
farmer is liable to be. iuduend to pay at
the rate of over S2OO a bush*; for the
seed when the identical same variety
of seed may be had for probably lest
than $2 00 per bushel. ”
As was intimated the final picking
made a '‘material change in the rank of
some of the varieties. ” having special
reference to yields of seed cotton; so it
appears ill Table No. 3 f at thi
variety stood Bth in toiai yield of see,.,
cotton per acre, gaining two poin?t
in the scale. Owing to its high pei
cent age yield of lint per cw of seed
ootton—B7.l per cent (equalled in this
respect by "bv one variety) it ranks
third iii vjdue of total products, at
shown in Table S.
So much space and attention would
not have been given to this so-called
‘‘Jackson's 'Limbless’ Ootton,” but for
the fact that extraordinary efforts have
been made, and are still being made, to
sell the seeds at enormous prices to the
unsuspecting, and sometimes easily
humbugged farmer. The Director freely
admits that it is a fairly good variety oi
ootton, aud is entitled to rank with
the best in point of productiveness. Its
merits entitle it to consideration at a
reasonable and just price for the seed,
which should not be more than $1.50
per bushel, so far as can now be judged,
or equal to the prices charged for seed of
other improved varieties Tjse claim?
made bv rhe promoters and
of this scheme are preposterously art
surd and totally unsupported by the
results of the carefully conducted tests
made on the Station farm, as above de
tailed. To illustrate: It is called “Limb
less,” but most of the stalks in the Sta
tion test had two or more limbs, and some
of them six and eight well developed
“limbs.” One in particular, which was
planted apart from the main tost, and
with plenty of distance, had eight long
and strong “limbs” or brauches. Of
matured and open bolls the following is
the statistics of that stalk:
Main stem, 14 boils; Ist branch, 12
bolls; 2d branch, 19 bolls; 3d branch,
I boll; 4th branch, 10 bolls; sth branch,
II bolls; 6th branch, 13 bolls; 7th
branch, 11 bolis and the Bth branch 8
bolts. Grand total, 129 bolls, of which
there were on the main stem 44, and on
the 8 branches 85 bolls. But it will grow
very tall and without “limbs” if closely
crowded ami any incipient branches tic
promptly pinched or pulled off, and thus
be consistent with its name—“ Lim
bless.” But the results of the experi
ments indicate that the “Jacksonian
idea” that this variety should be planted
one stalk every 8 or 4 inches in order to
S.ye the best results is totally fallacious.
11 the contrary the Director bedeves
that better results would be secured if
a distance of 4>.3 or 4x4 be given, pro
vided of course the soil be rich. This
would permit each stalk to attain a full
development, including several long
and fruitful “limbs,”
WHERE TO GET SEED.
The Station is not prepared to supply
seeds of varieties of corn and oottm.
It will be evident ou a moment’s reflec
tion that seeds produced on variety test
plots must become more or less mixed
by crossbreeding, and would not ba true
to-uame. This is especially so iu rega and
to coin, but is to some extent true of
cotton. It is considered that the Sta
tion should not be expected to do more
than give the results of the tests and
append tho names and posf.oflioe address
of file parties of whom seeds of the va
rieties tested were procured.

CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
i,roubles. So the womb, like the

sage is c;ten, by mistake, attributed
to female we ikness or wound trouble

urine aside tor twenty-tour hours;

ney ar bladder trouble. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great
kidney, and bladder remedy is soon
