It means tliat NEW quality, in a cigarette, that doea
for your smoking exactly what a drink of cold water does
for your thirst!
To satisfy, a cigarette must do far more than just
“please” you—it must let you know you *ve been smoking.
That’s what Chesterfields do—they satisfy! And yet
they’re MILD!
For the first time in the history of cigarettes, here’s
a cigarette that satisfies and yet is mild! Chesterfields!
Other cigarettes may be mild, but they don’t satisfy.
BUT, Chesterfields satisfy—yet they’re mild!
This is new enjoyment for a cigarette to give. It is
something that no cigarette, except Chesterfields, can give
you—regardlless of price.
Why?
Because no cigarette maker can copy the Chesterfield
blend!

INCREASE COTTON YIELD
BY BREEDING GOOD SEED
State Department Of Entomology Will Help Farmer*
Breed Seed To Make Better Crops.
Atlanta, Ga.—The time has come in
Georgia when successful cotton pro
duction demands careful and persist
ent attention to the breeding of the
highest type of seed, says the State
Board of Entomology in a bulletin on
cotton breeding shortly to be issued
for the information and advantages of
farmers of this state.
Good seed, tbe department points
out, is not only imperative in planting
to meet boll weevil conditions, but to
produce strains that are resistant to
the many destructive diseases to
which the cotton plant is subject in
different sections of the state.
For the benefit of Georgia's cotton
growers the department employs a
number of experts in cotton breeding,
whose entire time is given to this
work. Among them are Ira W. Wil
liams and C. A. McLendon, both of
whom have furnished valuable data
for the bulletin soon to be issued.
These experts are at the service of
the farmer upon request, whenever he
may desire their assistance in the mat
ter of producing*a highe'r and stronger
type of seed.
Every farmer should develop his
own cotton seed both to meet boll wee
vil conditions and to resist disease.
The reason for this is, as Mr. Mc
Lendon points out, that the cotton
plant is the product of two forces,
environment and heredity. Climatic
and soil conditions and methods of cul
ture vary in different sections; there
fore, the best seed for a particular
locality is produced tn that locality it
self. As to heredity, selection be
comes a comparatively easy matter,
because it involves simply the choice
from year to year of the seed from
the plant or plants which grow the
strongest, mature the earliest and man
ifest the greatest degree of resistance
to black root or wilt disease and oth
er diseases attacking the plant.
For Weevil Conditions
Good “pedigreed” seed locally adapt
ed is absolutely essential, Mr. Wil
liams points out, if weevil infestation
is very great. By pedigreed seed is
meant that which extends back for a
number of years and which has been
developed as rapidly as possible from
a single stalk.
"The proper method is to select gay
fitly stalks of the variety considered
best and plant these fifty stalks in fif
ty different rows; examine carefully
and study the different rows, and se
lect the most desirable and most pro
ductive row. Increase this row into a
block and from the block into as large
an area as possible, if this large area
does not plant the entire field, in
crease again the next year. Select the
individual stalks each year from rows
or blocks of previous selection and re
peat the method every year. By this
means the farmer will have pedigreed
seed coming as close back as possible
from one stalk, and continuing this
process from year to year, the period
of breeding will ultimately extend
through a long number of years.
"If a farmer is not willing to go to
the trouble of developing his seed by
this method, he should purchase one or
more bushels of seed each year from
some man near him who does do this,
and from such seed plant his entire
crop.” \
Adapted To Locality
The State Board of Entomology has
found by numerous tests that a va
riety of cotton good In one section of
the state, is a failure in another. That
is why it is most important to get
a variety as well bred as possible that
is best adapted to the locality. The
seed chosen should be from stalks
which are absolutely free from any
signs of wilt or root knot. After a
wilt resistant variety is secured, the
farmer should see to it that his cotton
is free from other diseases, if he is
compelled to lose some cotton from
the boll weevil, he can not afford to
lose it from any other cause. Among
the most destructive of these diseases
are angular leaf spot, or "black arm,”
as it is known by sea island planters,
which is a germ disease, and anthrac-
nose, a fungus disease, which is next
to black arm, and, in conjunction with
it, the most destructive agency to the
bolls of cotton. These two diseases
are perpetuated in the seed, which
makes it of the highest importance to
choose the seed from plants unaffect
ed by them.
The type of stalk to be chosen un
der boll weevil conditions is a small
stalk with as little foliage as possible,
but which should be equally productive
as larger stalks. It should have me
dium sized bolls, because the greater
the number of bolls to the stalk, the
larger will be the number of them to
reach maturity free from weevil at
tack. Unless a farmer is breeding for
length of lint and selling upon that
basis, it is better to devote his energy
to securing the highest per cent of
lint. This is largely a matter of in
dividual decision.
What is known as “mass selection”
may he practiced under certain condi
tions with good results. This consists
in going through the field and select
ing the seed from the healthiest and
most productive stalks from a wilt re
sistant variety on heavily infested
land. From year to year the cotton
is thus rendered more resistant and
more productive.
Straight Selection Best
The department recommends straight
selection of seed in breeding rather
than the crossing of varieties or hy
bridizing. It is believed this will pro
duce the best and most satisfactory
results under ordinary conditions.
“The possibilities in breeding cotton
according to the latest approved meth
ods are almost unlimited,” says Mr.
McLendon. “In the light of recent evi
dence in this work, it seems entirely
possible so to conduct the breeding
experiments with tjiis crop as to
change the shape and size of the plant
and its fruit, free or nearly rid it of
destructive diseases, increase or de
crease its earliness and productive
ness, the length, strength and percen
tage of its lint, purify the seed sam
ple, and otherwise alter or improve all
the other inheritable characters of the
plant.
"The problem of cotton improve
ment through breeding operations re
solves itself into a strictly local prop
osition, if the best results are to be ob
tained, as has been demonstrated time
and again in various experiments
conducted with this crop. The place
effect, or the combined effect of local
conditions, so controls the behavior
of the cotton plant that nothing short
of a thorough knowledge of the local
adaptability of a certain variety or
strain of cotton can serve as an in
dex to Its possibilities for improve
ment. That is, each soil type with its
attendant climatic conditions in the
state of Georgia, will carry a certain
variety of cotton better than will any
other type of soil, and so on for the
different soil and climatic areas of the
state.”
It is further pointed out that while
in some sections big boll varieties pro
duce the greatest yield, in others the
small boll varieties give the best re
sults; from which it is apparent how
unreasonable it is for the South Geor
gia farmer to expect the best results
from seed bred in the northern part
of the state, and vice versa.
Department Will Help
While the process of seed breeding
is comparatively a simple one, it in
volves many details which manifestly
cannot he given in the space of a brief
article. The forthcoming bulletin will
present all of these details and will
be furnished free upon application to
any farmer in the state desiring it.
In the meantime, it is important that
cotton planters all over Georgia should
have the general idea of the seed
selection process right now when the
time is approaching for such selection
to be made. The farmer who lias not
ed the best variety adapted to his lo
cality can begin his seed selection pro
cess as the bolls ripen and open. For
this purpose, as already stated, he
should choose good, healthy, early
maturing plants which are unaffected
by wilt or other diseases.
The department is ready to lend ev
ery possible assistance to the planter
in this work. It will furnish the
bags In which the seed should be
placed as gathered. This bag may be
tied directly to the stalk and the cot
ton picked and put into it. The cot
ton should be picked as fast as It
opens and becomes dry. It will not
damage in the bag in ordinary weath
er. Just as soon as most of the de
sirable bolls are open, the sacks
should be removed to some dry place.
Cotton to be used for seed should not
be left in the bolls any length of. time,
as the seed are liable to damage very
rapidly.
When the cotton is all picked these
sacks can he senf to the State Board
of Entomology, State Capitol, Atlanta,
Ga., or to the Entomological Experi
ment station at Thomasviile, Ga.„
where the seed will be ginned and the
per cent of lint carefully calculated.
The seed will be returned to the fann
er for planting with a table showing
the per cent of lint from the different
stalks. The department will also gin
samples at any time from different
progeny rows, and calculate the per
cent of lint in order to help the farm
er determine which of his seed makes
the highest percentage.
Begin The Work Now.
It is time now to decide upon the
variety and the spot in the field from
which the start for breeding is to be
made; and just about the time the
cotton begins to open the real work
of selection should begin. Selecting
a few superior early plants is the first
step, and this should be done before
any cotton is picked from the patch
where you are to make the selection.
The seed should be separated from
the lint, preferably by a hand gin,
and under no circumstances should
there be any other seed remaining in
it. The department has hand gins
for this use and for the benefit of any
farmer desiring its assistance in
breeding his seed.
Speaking for the Board, State Ento
mologist E. Lee Worsham invites and
urges all Georgia cotton planters to
send to the department the seed they
have selected for ginning and calcula
tion of the per cent of lint. In this
way a beginning can be made now,
and from year to year the farmer’s
supply of seed to meet boll weevil
conditions and resist disease, will he
larger and larger until he ultimately
has enough to plant his entire crop
