COTTON SEED SELECTION OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE TO GOOD PRODUCTION
In use for over 40 (jfears!
Thousands of voluntary
letters from women, tell
ing of the good Cardui
has done them. This is
the best proof of the value
of Cardui. It proves that
Cardui is a good medicine
for women.
There are ne harmful or
habit-forming drugs in
Cardui. It is composed
only of mild, medicinal
ingredients, with no bad
aiter-eifects.
TAKE
Right Variety And Good Seed Necessary In Fight Against Boll Weevil,
Says Board of Entomology
The Womans Tonic
\ou can rely on Cardui.
Surely it will do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
womenl It should help.
“I was taken sick,
seemed to be . . . ,”
writes Airs. Mary E.Veste,
of Madison Heights, Va.
“I got down so weak,
could hardly walk . . .
just staggered around.
... I read of Cardui,
and after taking one bot
tle, or before taking quite
all, I felt much belter. I
took 3 or 4 bottles at
that time, and was able to
do my work. I take it in
the spring when run
down. 1 had no appetite,
and I commenced eating.
It is the best tonic I ever
saw.” Try Cardui.
Atlanta, August, (Special)—There
is a big difference between improved
cotton seed and just "cotton seed.”
Experiments conducted by the Geor
gia State Bo&.d of Entomology have
proven beyond question that the dif
ference in value is as great as that
betYveen pure bred hogs, such as the
Durocs and Berkshires, and the
piney woods "razor-back.”
Many farmers have learned the fnv
portance of tills difference. They have
found from actual experience, involv
ing losses, that it is not safe to plant
the ordinary varieties of cot-on seed.
So -Important is this problem of
seed selection, that the board feels
ft must strongly urge every farmer
to make effort this year to iniprovo
his cotton seed by mass selection at
least. In mass selection the best
stalks are selected and picked togeth
er. This cotton Is carefully ginned
and the seed planted next year for
the seed patch. Enough) stalks should
be relected Co plant for a bale Or at
j least half a bale.
I Pedigreed Breeding
I Then, a few farmers in each coun-
! ty should take up the work of pedi-
’ greed breeding or individual selection,
j Under this plan a number of the best
and most resistant plants are chosen
and the seed of each plant saved to
1 itself. The next season a short row
is planted from each stalk. Planted
side by side, the opportunity is given
for easy comparison, and ascertain
ing which is the most resistant and
has the strongest transmitting power.
! This is important to determine, for
! plants, like animals, transmit their
good as well as their bad qualities to
, their progeny.
1 The seed from the row showing the
1 greatest resistance to disease and the
1 greatest yield, is saved and planted
next season in a multiplying patch.
The seed from this in turn is saved,
| and the following season as many
acres as possible should he planted
' with it. Thus, from one stalk, in
| three years, a very large quantity of
seed may be secured.
In individual selection great care
must be need in securing the best,
plants. It is ofte.n noticed that plants
vary greatly in the same Held. Tn
making selections study the folloAV-
iug characteristics: Resistance to
wilt, root.knot and anthracnose; fruit*
fulness and earliness; percentage,
length and strength of lint; type of
plant and distribution of fruit on
plant.
Watch The Type Of Plant
Stalks of the predominating type in
the row or Held, should be chosen, if
equally resistant and well fruited as
ethers. Get the form of the ideal
stalk well fixed in your mind, and
look for it. Remember the type from
year to year, and don’t change unless
you should change to a different
strain or seed variety.
Select from stalks having long fruit
ing l.mbs close to the ground, and
\\i;ii joints close together. Get those
with fewer large stalked branches, but
with the fruiting branches most nu
merous. As a rule it is best to select
the plants that have most of the
fruit on the lover part of the stalk,
for these begin fruiting early.
Maintain Li.o fruiting and resistant
qutuT.'.'cb h y "running.” Do this both
in the progeny rows and in the field.
This means cutting out the diseased
and stunted stalks about July l and
August 1, so as to prevent crossing
with the fruitful nnd resistant plants.
Get The Right Variety
Every farmer should begin by get
ting the variety of cotton that
he wishes to grow, the variety best
adapted to his locality, and then stick
to it. Write for Bulletin No. 40 of
the Georgia State Board of Entomolo
gy on "Cotton Variety Tests;” this
will assist you in selecting your va
riety. Selection and planting of the
right variety for your locality, is halt
the fight against the boll weevil.
The board of entomology has gins
both in Atlanta, and at Thomasville.
ISend your individual seed selections
to the board at either place, properly
numbered and sacked, and they v.lll
be ginned and returned to you Tree
of charge. The per cent of lint, each
stalk makes will be determined and
marked on each sack. Send your seed
In as soon as possible after the cot-
ion Is picked, so that it. may be gin
ned without delay. Address it to the
Georgia State Board of Entomology,
either Atlanta or Thomasville, which
ever place is nearest you. Write also,
for any other information you may
wish.
