’ WONDKRFVI. “LIMBLESS" COTTON.
From time to time for about a
year there have appeared in cer
tain public prints most sensational
and flattering articles descriptive
of an alleged new kind of cotton
plant, called ‘iimbless” in the ar
ticles and credited with 'the most
wonderful achievements. It was
dawned that the stalks grew to be
from 10 to 14 feet high, without
limbs, but from the stalks sprang
great numbers of bolls which bore
the finest cotton staple in the
world, long, silky and strong, per
fectly white and having a satin
like touch. It was further alleged
that the new variety was the most
prolific in the world, producing
four to six bales of lint to the
acre with no more than the ordi
nary cultivation and fertilization.
Last spring it was announced in
some of these articles that the
Georgia experiment station had
secured seed for an experimental
patch of four acres.
Coupled with all this fulsome
laudation of the wonderful limb
less cotton was a statement of the
prices at which seed could be had ;
and therein may the milk in the
cocoanut be accounted for. Nat
urally the cotton planters would
greatly desire seed that would give
such wonderful results, so the
price was run up until it reached
the sum of SI,BOO per bushel 1 La
ter, however, the price dropped to
S2OO per bushel.
It is a fact that the Georgia ex
periment station did secure some
of the seeds, of unquestioned puri
ty, and planted four acres with
them. The harvest has now pro
gressed far enough for the direc
tor to judge of the merits of the
“limbless” cotton. In a bulletin
just issued from the station, the
director makes it plain that those
farmers who have been paying
fancy prices for the seed uuder the
supposition that they were getting
something extraordinary, have
simply been buncoed. The “limb
less,” cotton was put into compe
tition at the experimental station
with twenty other varieties, all
under similar conditions and all
highly fertilized and carefully cul
tivated, and in the matter of yield,
the “limbless” wondei stands
tenth! There are at least nine
other old and well-known varieties
which are more prolific and pro
duce a staple in every particular
as good as that of the alleged
magical variety. The director,
furthermore, recognized the so
called new variety as an old va
riety known in Georgia ten years
or more ago as “Welborn’s Pet,”
which never amounted to much.
So far from this w’onderful cotton
producing four to six bales to the
acre, as was claimed for it, the
director of the experiment station
says the person who plants it will
be lucky if he gets more than one
bale from it, after fertilizing it
very highly and giving it the most
careful cultivation. Furthermore,
it is not even limbless, but ordi
narily grows from five to six long
branches, beginning at the ground.
So far from the seed being worth
even S2OO per bushel, Director
Redding says that seed which will
grow identically the same variety
can be had for probably less than
$2 per bushel. It is to be hoped
that very few Georgia farmers
have bitten at the glittering bait.

A tew weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most mis
erable condition. It was undoubt
edly a bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a
speedy cure. From the advertise
ment of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and the many good recom
mendations included therein, we
concluded to make a first trial
of the medicine. To say that it
was satisfactory in its results, is
putting it very mildly, indeed . It
acted like magic and the result
was a speedy ana permanent cure.
We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough
Remedy to anyone afflicted with a
cough or cold in any form.—The

A 1 newspaper man.
Mrs. J. M. Fowler is, we are sorry to
note in feeble health.
We are certainly glad to note that
the farmers are becoming more enthu
siastic over their work, for the day and
time has come when the people, and
the farmers especially, can’t afford to
have their smoke houses and corn cribs
in the West, and their banking inter
ests in the North. This part of the
country will certainly produce corn«
wheat, hay and a great many minor
crops. Horses, cattle aud swine rais
ing can certainly be carried on with
success in tii# sunny southland of
ours, and if the price of cotton is low,
all “make ups” of cotton are corre
spondingly low, and at the same time
this product can be raised as an “ex
tra.” There certainly is no reason
why farming in the south should not
be a grand success today.

Nervous
People often wonder why their nerves ar*
ao weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sadden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and nervous
Dyspepsia
The explanation is simple. It is found in
that impure blood which is contin
ually feeding the nerve® upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds 6imply deaden and
do not cure. Hood’s Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the
true remedy for all nervous trouble*.
