‘WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 5, 1924 miiffus «F COTTON SUITABLE Experiment Station Tells Kind Os Seed To Select For Plant ing In This Section , TIFTON, March s.—The Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station, at Tifton, Georgia, has been conduct ing tests for the past years to determine desirable verTfct’ies of cotton for South Georgia. Results from various soil types’show no. one variety of- cotton is suited to all conditions of soil and climate throughout th,e State. Some varie ties of cotton may produce well in other sections and yet be poor yield ers when grown on the sandv soils in the coastal plain region. The selection of a variety, therefore which is adapted to the soil and of South Georgia is an im portant consideration in economic production. In selecting a cotton variety to be grown in South Georgia, it is sug- ■ aJsSSI - A HANDY FLOUR With a score of household uses IF SELF-RISING flour were used for no other purpose than for making light, tasty biscuits you couldn’t afford to be without it. But that isn’t all. Every day thousands of excellent cooks are delighted at ' many new uses they find for it. « • "I always use self-rising flour in making biscuits, meat pie paste, dumplings, muffins, noodles, as a part of the dry mixture in corn bread, and all kinds of hot breads and muffins,” writes one enterprising housewife. "Odd bits of unsweetened dough I cut in triangles, pop them into the oven, bake a rich brown and serve with soups and broth. . . . I’ve never experienced an abso lute failure when using»self-rising flour. It also saves time, material, steps and temper.” ~ ' ' j You can always feel sure that every thing you bake with self-rising flour is tasteful, wholesome and healthful. It contains pure phosphate baking powder in just the right proportions to make every baking flufly and appetizing. I FOLLOW THESE FIVE RULES For Making Perfect , Biscuits with Self-Rising Flour. (1) See that your oven is , hot; (2) Always Use sweet milk or cold water; (3) Never add baking powder, soda or salt; (4) Use good shorten- y ing— lard, vegetable fat or butter; (5) Make soft dough . ’ —bake quickly.

Rested that, pure seed should be (planted which possess as nearly as possible the following characteris es: Wilt or “black root” resistance. Earliness in setting fruit. Good size boll. z Continuous fruiting over a long period. - • Good leiigtr staple.' High percentage of lint. In many cases losses are sustain ed from wilt or “black root” where resistant varieties are not planted. Varieties which set a crop of bolls early and continue to square throughout the ’ growing season made a better yield at the Experi ment Station than the small boll varieties which were extremely early, put on a few bolls and.shed their foliage. The weevils seemed not to be forced to feed on imma ture bolls so much on the varieties that continued to produce squares, over a long period. A good size boll, good length of staple, and hifeh percentage of lint are points that should be tjorne in- mind in selecting a variety of. cotton. Below are given the names of the varieties tested over a three year period and the average yield of seed cotton per acre from ? field where bolt weevil poison, was used during the years 1921, 1922 and 1923.

JESSE MERCER MAY RUN FOR GOVERNOR ATLANTA, March 5. —The new est break in state politics is talk among friends of Jesse Mercer, of] Atlanta, of running him for gover nor. While Mr. Mercer personally has not been available to verify this report, information from some ot his friends is that the matter'has been mentioned to him and he has it under advisement. Mr. Mercer is well known over the state, and for a time has been actively connected with the citizen’s law enforcement Movements. Inasmuch as those who are discussing his candidacy are somewhat close to Judge Render Terrell, it is taken that this move ment is rather intended as a substi tute for the proposed Terrell can didacy. ; No further* developments have been heard from the discussion in the past week or so of the proposed candidacy of Dr. L. G. Hardman of Commerce, but there has been talk about Judge R.C. Bell, of Cairo, now a member of the court of ap peals bench. Neither of these gen tlemen, though, have made any di rect comment on the reports. BORGLUM WILL TALK BEFORE TECH STUDENTS ATLANTA, March s.—On Mon day, March, 10, at 3 p. m.
