How to Improve Cotton and Corn Seed
I first go over my breeding corn
plots and detassel all the rows al
ternately and also detassel all
other stalks that do not seem heal
thy or prolific. Later I go over the
detasseled row 6 and mark all stalks
that conform to my ideal. From
these I save my seed supply for
my entire crop. I pick a few of
the best seed ears for the next
year’s breeding plots. My breeding
plots now promise 150 bushels per
acre. I have the corn in 4-foot
rowe and 4 inches apart in drill.
Some plots are standing 8 to 12
inches m the drill. That which
stands 4 inches in the drill has 1
to 3 good ears to the stalk; that
which stands 8 to 12 inches, from
2 to 3 ears per stalk .
In picking my cotton I have a
small Back attached to the top
side of my sack. In this 6mall sack
I put the cotton intended for mv
next year’s seed, only putting in
bolls that come from stalks that
conform to my ideal I only use
the small sack long enough to get
cotton sufficient to make seed for
my crop. I go to the gin and see
that it is ci-aned thoroughly; then
have a bal*- • f my own cotton
of the same variety ginned,
catching the seed on a sheet. I
know this work pays me hand
somely Some years ago I ordered
a good variety of cotton seed and
have been at work on them in the
above manner about fifteen years.
I have ordered seed twice from
the same man and get fine seed
each time, but find them to fall
far short of those I have been im
proving at home.
Brother farmer, if you have a
good variety of cotton or corn, go
to improving it at home and get
something extra fine out of it. If
you have not got it, get it
from a reliable breeder and im
prove it at home. You will find
it much better to do this than to
always depend on the other fel
low to furnish them at a high
price and often an inferior grade.

W ill Vote tor Joseph M. Brown
The following communication
! is clipped from The Telegraph of
n-ceiit date and we publish it for
the Lenefit of our reuders :
“To the Editor of The Macou
(Ga.) Telegraph.
“I am a prohibitionist, a mem
ber of the Methodist church, and
I am going to vote for ‘Little Joe’
Brown.
“I am not going to beyb-d, or
follow any set of men that may
choose to tell me how to vote in
order to best promote the tem
perance cause. I, am member Jof
all the temperance organizations
and such like that come along. I
dont stop at being a member. I pay
every time they call for money.
I think some of our temperance
brethren can fall into every trap
that comes along, the easiest to
be seen. Some of these prohibi
tionists are now ready to run off
after another candidate. that’s
all right to vote for whom they
see fit, but to turn around and
say to me, ‘you are a whiskey
man if you vote for Little Joe
Brown.’ I say, you are wrong, that
is all there is to it. See how some
of these fellows went off and let
Hoke Smith make a jackrabbit
out of them. After he worked and
fought for whiskey as long as he
could, and maintain the respect
of the best people, when Hoke
Smith found out he was going to
have opposition by Joe Brown he
made haste to make an issue and
fell full length on the prohibition.
Get beat, of course, because he
drove a good many whiskey votes
to Brown because they had a kind
of contempt for Mr. Smith’s man
ner of conversion. Many of the
best temperance people felt the
same way, and knowing Brown’s
record was better on the prohib
ition question,they likewise voted
for Brown, and the result was
Smith was beaten. Then he forth
with ran again, and finding from
past experience that he could not
fool all the temperance people, in
this last race he never advocated
the temperance cause; not a word
did he sav in its behalf, nor did
he turn his hand nor open his
mouth to try to get the Tippins
bill through. He could have told
the legislature if they didnt act on
this bill he was going to call an
extra session, and if it took an ex
tra session it would have been
worth all it cost. It was said while
he was running that Smith and the
whiskey people had reached a ta
cit understanding that he would
do them no harm, and his action
showed that they guessed the
truth.
“Now when this race is over,
and Little Joe gets as many votes
as Pope Brown and Dick put to
gether, we will find more temper
ance people voted for Little Joe
than they did for Pope,just be
cause they know Little Joe is all
right, but the point is this, they
have brought temperance into a
false light. Little Joe is now elect
ed by a largo majarity.” —E. L.
Vickers.
The Book Husband Needed.
With an air of one who has not
a moment to spare,she bustled in
to a bookshop. “I want a book
for my husband, please,” she be
gan. “It’s his birthday and I
want it for a present. He’ll be 44
next week, so show me what you
have. I want nothing cheap. He’s
a mild mannered man, and not
fond of sports. So don’t show me
anything in that line, and for
goodness’ sake don’t offer me any
of those trashy novels; and, no
matter how’ you may try to per
suade me, I won’t have anything
in the line of history or biography
Come, I am in a hurry; can’t you
suggest something suitable after I
have told you what kind of a hus
band he is?” f
The assistant lifted down a
small volumu from one of the
shelves. ‘‘Yes. ma’m, he answer
ed, “I think I have the very
thing. Here is a little book en
titled ‘How to Manage a Talking
Machine. ’ ” —Ex.

paign expenditures seem to have

Perhaps you have never given much com
sideration to their purchase, but thiuk for a minute of the long days
the little ones must spend in using them, and how muh pleasure and
satisfaction it means if everything is just like they want it.
Something that does not suit is a keen dis=
oppointment, and now is the time that your children are formiug
habits and ideas that will have a great influence on their futures.
Failure to equip them with the proper supplies is an actual
handicap.
We have taken all of these features into consideration in buying
our school supplies, and the children will receive the same prices, if
they come alone, as you do.
