SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS EVFRYWFFRE 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 ■THE NEW.
