The Post does justice to Mr. Cleve

aliow the American spirit cams, as
did In the Venezuela affair, Mr. Cleve
land threw down his gauntlet to the
groitHt armed power In the world.
And Judge Parker la a lawyer as
wna Mr. Cleveland. Both put the con
stitution above the man. They were
trained In the atme school of states

he put himself to this expense his sim
ple answer was. "It pays."
There sre great strikes in the coun
try. There are 80,000 miners out In
Colorado, 80,000 meat cutters in Chi
cago, 40,000 milt operatives in Fall
River, 40,000 building trades men in
New York. Mr. Patterson Is not wor
ried by any strikes In his place. He
pays as high wages as are paid any
where. He looks to the comfort of hla
workmen. He Is the president of the
Men's Welfare League, an organization
of his own workmen, the purpose of
which la mutual help and betterment.
His employes have free baths, reading
rooms, recreation grounds, mothers’
clubs, Kindergarten schools, cooking,
sewing and dancing schools.
Last year he paid out $9,000 In prizes

To the Kdltor of The Telegraph:—
If In relating my experiments with
cotton seeds and corn, and the culti
vation and fertilization of these /plants,
I can say something of Interest or
value to the farmers of the state, it
will be a pleasure to me. For fifteen
years all the cotton seeds that I have
planted (with one exception) have
been those which were selected by my
self or others. I have grown from the
"Kings” more than a bale and a half
per acre—a bale per acre being In
market by August 81st; all out by Sep
tember 22nd. 1 have made with the
"Mikado" 2% bales per acre. I have
planted the "Ruasells". the "Fruit” ond
the "Jones”, the big boll and the little
boll. In 1893 I sent to Texas and ob
tained a few lintless seed that I might
satisfy myself by growing them that
such a result had been accomplished
by selection. When the large, slick,
black seed came, they were planted
In rows In the centre of a corn field
that their pollen might not reach my
other cotton. It came up and grew
blossomed and boiled like other kinds,
but when the opening came the bolls
burst and the se«d fell upon the ground,
great quantities of them, absolutely
lintless. If the South had been planted
In this variety, not nn ounce of lint
would have been produced. This cot
ton came orlglnlly from a "sport," one
stalk growing amidst thousands in a
Texas field. The seeds from it were
plonted the noxt season and only those
that were lintless planted the next
year, and so on until after a few years
a new variety was produced. The man
who gave hla time and labor to the
propagation of this cotton had an Idea
that in a few years the seed would be
more valuable than the lint. • The
weevil had not then nppeared in hla
state.
I stood In a cotton stalk or tree In
Cuba and planted here the seeds ob
tained therefrom, but never until last
year did I plant unimproved seed, the
public gin seed, seeds which were never
selected, sleds grown by farmers who
tell you thnt one Is ns good ns another
and that nil depends upon the ferti
lizing and the rains. These common
seeds were obtained from a public gin,
were planted In an experimental patch
In four foot rows and highly fertilized.
They germinated poorly and the stand
was very poor. In that patch at the
end of the season I found six stalks
that never developed a boll, mnny thnt
contained not more thnn six; some
bolls had two locks, some thrive, none
over four. There were big boll, big
leaf cotton In It, and one stalk with
bolls so small that no picker ever
touched them.
How careful we are to get the best
seeds for our gardens, our flower yards
and our orchards. How foolish, when
we convince ourselves that any old
thing will do for our fields of corn
and cotton. If the farmers of this
state would plant none but the selected
seeds their agricultural products would
be Increased in value many millions.
There nre improved selected seeds
which will make ten bushels of corn
nnd one hundred pounds of lint cot
ton more per here thnn unimproved
ones. The experimental stations
throughout tbe South show by their
bulletins that more thnn this hns been
done by their best seeds, those standing
at the top of the list show that they
made over and above those at the valuable,
bottom as much as 25 bushels of corn
S0DTH SHOWS
PROSPERITY
and 250 pounds of lint. You must bear
in mind too that those seed which
stood at the bottom were selected—
much better seed than the common
ones. It Is impossible to raise large
crops from poor seed, and yet 99 per
cent of our field crops are planted with
them. A farmer will buy a bushel of
carefully selected seed, he plants
near tbe house on some rich plot of
land, In every direction his fields ex
tend, upon which hi* common cotton
has been planted. The winds blow
across the fields when the bloom Is on,
and bees fly from one to the other.
The pollen from the stalk impregnates
the bloom on the other, and his cotton
goes to the public gin (having been
crossed), there to be mixed with seeds
which came from the bale turned out
Just before his. He plants all he has
of these seeds. The next year he has
enough for his entire place. He makes
no selection, buys no more fceed, Und If
you ask him ten or twelve years from
that time what cotton he plants, he will
give you the name of the seed he
purchased—never knowing, perhaps,
that he lost their distinctive character
istics In the crossing and mixing years
ago.
I believe If Georgia planted selected
seeds only her cotton would be In
creased 800,000 bales, and her corn crop
hundreds of thousands of bushels.
When I say selected seOds I do not
mean the first, second or third pick
ing. That has nothing more to do
with selection than the taking
planting the first, second or third roll
of seeds which fall from the public
gin. Selected seeds are those taken
from the best bolls off the finest limbs
of .file most perfect stalks. Some of
flpeit limbs are those at the
bottom of the stalk, some of the best
bolb at the top. If you contemplate
Improving your seed first buy the best
you can obtain (and there are many
good ones now), plant them on rich
land, cultivate jyell, keeping the grass
