It did me more good lion all the medi- cl ,es 1 had taken. i i.a.c induced many of my friends to try Cardui. and they all sav they have been benefited by its use. There never has been, and sever will be, a medicine to compare with Cardui.

Atlanta, Ga.—The time has come trhen the farmers of Georgia must select their cotton seed for next year’s planting,; and In view of the many pests and diseases to which the plant is now subject, this is no simple or easy task. The State Board of Entomology lays down ten rules or suggestions rela tive to cotton seed selection which, If followed carefully by the farmers, will materially assist them fu elfral- Sating plant pests and diseases from their fields. Generally speaking, the seed should be selected from the strongest and hardiest plants, such as are free from diseases and which have the greatest percentage of fruit properly located. More specifically, the selection shoulu be made, says State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham, with reference to re sistance to black root or wilt disease; resistance to root knot and anthrac- nose; fruitfulness and earliness; per centage of lint; type of plant and dis tribution of fruit on the plant. In selecting for resistance to black root or wilt disease the plant should be chosen from that section of the field where the ordinary cotton suffer ed greatest damage. Here, however, the selection should be made of the hardiest and best developed plants. Watch Out for Root Knot. Care should also be taken to se* lect those plants which are resistant to root knot or nematodo worms. The nematode worm is a parasite on the roots, of plants which causes knots, commonly known as nematode galls or root knot The' plant Is Btunted and sometimes killed. As the com mon cowpea Is very susceptible to this worm, It Is dangerous to follow such a pea ciop with cotton. The wilt resistant strains are somewhat re sistant to root knot, and the depart ment believes by continued selection of the most resistant plants, this qual ity may be greatly Improved. Another thing to be avoided in the selection of the seed Is anthracnose, a fungus disease of cotton which causes the bolls to rot and some sea sons does a great deal of damage, oc casionally as high ns 60 per cent, of the bolls rotting off. All varieties of cotton are more or less suscepti ble to anthracnose. At present tho best way to control this dic^ase Is by rotation of crops and by the use of reslRtant varieties through careful seed selection. A plant badly affect ed by anthracnose should not be se lected, even though it is very resist ant to wilt and I3 well fniited. Fruitfulness should bo carefully considered in seed selection, with a view to Increasing the yield per acre. Where possible, the department advis es the selection of the most fruitful stalks by comparison. Get Early Varieties. Earliness Is another Important point in selection, especially In SouUiwest Georgia, where it will be necessary next year to moot the Invasion of the cotton boll weevil. Two ways aro suggested of securing an early resist ant strain. First by crossing the wilt resistant strain with early varieties, 1 . and second by selecting tho earliest j plants from the resistant strains now at hand. It Is believed that the indi vidual selection of the earliest plants will be the quickest and best method. The department advises that no 1 < stalk should be selected which yields 1 less than 33 1-3 per cent, of lint In 1 1 Its own work it discards all stalks that yield less than 34 per cent, of lint. The only satisfactory method of determining the quality of lint yield-! ed by a stalk is to gin each stalk sep arately with a hand gin. j Care should be taken also as to the type of plant chosen. The best stalks to select are those having long fruit- j ing limbs cIobo to the ground, and J with joints close together. The fewer | large stalking branches a plant has the better, provided the fruiting ’ branches are more numerous. j In the matter of distribution and , arrangement of fruit over the stalk, 1 1 it is best to select the plants that 1, have the most fruit on the lower part, because these begin fruiting earlier. Roguing is regarded os an import-; ant practice In the selection of cot- j ton seed. That is, where a field is to be used particularly for the selec tion of seed, the diseased dnd stunted stalks should be cut out about July 1 or August 1, to prevent crossing with the producing plants and there by reducing their resistance. Care in Ginning. The next thing Is proper ginning. Tho cotton selected for seed should be ginned on a hand gin, If possible. This does away witfc danger of adul teration or mixture with diseased seed. If the cotton is ginned on a public gin, all of the seed should be removed from the breast of the gin and other parts before the cotton is run through, and the seed should bs allowed to drop on the floor or on a sheet; it should never be allowed to run tiirough the seed carrying auger. The work on the wilt disease of cotton, development of resistant strains and seed selection, has been in charge of Mr. A. C. Lewis, assist ant state entomologist, since 1905. Un der his direction there have been do* veloped a number of resistant hybrids, and this special seed has been ftir- nished to farmers in many sections of the state. The State Board of Entomology will be glad to assist any farmer In mak ing individual seed selections. Where this assistance is desire !, he should savo a few rows on u portion of his field without picking it, and write ths state entomologist requesting to have some one sent to assist in making tks selections.- The State Board of Entomology owns a small gin operated by elec tricity, and will take great pleasure hi g! :nlng r free of charge, small quan tities of seed that has been carefully selected. The seed cotton can be sent by parcels post and tho seed will bo properly labeled and returned. Mr. Thomas W. Ventul tt, of A1 bany, was In the city today. FARM LOANS B jeon time *- Ea*y Payment..
