ENTOMOLOGY • BOARD’S TESTS
FOll BEST COTTON VARIETIES
Atlanta, January, 191 A (Special.)
Dealing with cotton variety tests for
the purpose of combatting boll weevil
and disease conditions it "Georgia, the
State Board of Entomology hag just
published a bulletin which will be of
important interest to every cotton
planter in the state.
These tests were made by the board
in co-operation with progressive farm
ers in different sections of the state;
and the importance of them lies in the
fact that they offer proven suggestion
as to the best varieties to plant in var
ious localities and under the condi
tions which the growers have to con
tend with.
It will be impossible, of course, to
give detailed information in the space
of a brief article; so that the purpose
here is to impress upon the cotton
grower the great importance of secur
ing and planting the variety of seed
best adapted to his locality, under all
conditions, and then to work to the
end of maintaining the purity of his
seed and improving it by selection
from year to year. Those desiring
more complete information, should
.write the Georgia Board of Entomol
ogy, Atlanta, Ga., for ft copy of the new
bulletin No. 50, on Variety Tests, pre
pared by Assistant Entomologist A. C.
Lewis and Cotton Breeding Expert C.
A. McLendon.
What the Tests Have Shown.
The board’s variety tests were con
ducted near Vienna, Lumpkin, Bruns
wick and Pinehurst in Middle and
South Georgia, and in Burke and Han
cock counties in East and Northeast
Georgia. In some sections of the state
the work of breeding the strongest
possible strains of seed has been in
progress for several years. Farmers
who have grown seed under the
board’s direction, have seed for sale
for planting purposes, which is as
good as can be obtained, and this
seed is always sold at reasonable
prices.
As a result of this work thousands
of bushels of pedigreed seed are now
available, through these co-operative
breeders, for planting this spring.
In recommending varieties that can
be most profitably grown in Georgia,
these things, among others, have been
considered: Earliness for boll weevil
conditions, resistance to wilt and oth
er diseases, fruiting habits, -length,
strength and percentage of lint, size
and shape of bolls and density of fol
iage. Earliness for boll weevil con
ditions consists not only in early
blooms and open bolls, but also in
and continuous blooming until

fall, with the greatest amount of cot
ton at the first pickings. Only a few
varieties possesses resistance to wilt
in a high degree, and only the best of
these are recommended for use where
wilt is present.
For Wilt-Infected Land
“In South Georgia where wait is
present, says the new bulletin, “none
but the very best wilt-resisting varie
ties, such as the Council-Toole, Lewis
63, DeSoto, Dixie Improved and Dix-
Afifi (long staple) should be grown.
In fact, our experiments and the ex
perience of hundreds of farmers in
trying to grow non-resistant varieties
on wilt-infected land, have demonstrat
ed time and again the futility of at
tempting to grow any but these wilt
resistant varieties on l&nd affected
with this dreaded disease.’’
Outside of the wilt-infected land in
South Georgia, Cleveland and Cook
varieties can be successfully grown, if
seed of the earliest and best strains
are used. Cleveland is the best all
round big-boll variety, and the Wanna
maker strain is the earliest known.
In all sections of the state where
there is no wilt infection, Express
and Webber No. 49 are the best up
land, long staple varieties to grow.
The Express is the earliest variety;
the Webber is big-boiled, the earliest
strain being No. 49.
For late planting in North Georgia,
outside of the boll w r eevil limits, it is
usually best to grow the early matur
ing varieties, such as King, Broadwell,
Bank Account, and so on. None of
these varieties, however, have been
bred for pure seed strains under the
board’s direction.
Of the varieties which are now
being bred under the board’s direction,
in different sections of the state, pedi
greed seed of a few of them are now
available through the co-operative
breeders. All inquiries for seed ad
dressed to the Georgia Board "of En
tomology will be referred to parties
having for sale the purest seed obtain
able of the varieties desired.
The new bulletin gives some valu
able suggestions with reference to the
growing of upland king staple cotton;
and advises that farmers who are not
familiar with these varieties, should
carefully consider every phase of
growing, handling and marketing
them before attempting to grow them
extensively.
In the bulletin detailed report is
made upon the variety tests conducted
at each point mentioned; so that the
grower may see at a glance which par
ticular variety produced the best re
sults under identical conditions.
PROGRESS NEWS NOTES.
(Last Week’s Letter.)
On Thursday last Mr. B., —who
was engaged in some work on his
farm, had occasion to go near a
small secluded nook, and as he
approached near the spot he heard
a meek little vice from within say,
Take it from me, this war is bound
to close in May. So very eager
to know from whom this message
came, he quietly slipped up and
peeped in and saw two little
joree’s engaged in conversation.
He remained very still watching
the scene before his eyes. When
the birds saw they were being
watched they suddenly arose and
flew away, uttering as they did so
Ihe above message. This war is
bound to close in May. What!
didn’t 1 hear you say you don’t
believe a word of it? Well, von
just as well believe some joree as
to believe anyone eise who has
tried to predict when it will e id,
Tney can tell about as well*
