We have about the same chance here that they have in South Carolina. They jiave the sea island and salt dew and we have the same. The facts are that for the last twenty years we have had a bet ter market for cotton in the seed that for lint and in consequence have been induced to make cotton tt> sell in the seed, crowding the cotton in the drill and otherwise, and causing a short growth in lint, with the weight In the seed. We made more per acre of seed cotton this way, but the time has come when we must raise the longest and best staple to It makes paint cost about $1.20 per gallon.

If fine seed is used it must be remembered that it requires a proper amount of bright sunshine on cotton when opening, to make a fine sample of lint. When the plant Is crowded It does not get this Bun- shine, and If Improperly handled the result is still worse. Let us get together In the matter and see If we cannot raise a better quality of coton and get more than 14 cents for what we do raise. L. A. Cribb.
