Data About Varieties of Cotton
We are frequently asked which is
the best variety of cotton under a
given set of conditions. This is al
ways a difficult question to answer
satisfactorily. This is due to the
wide diversity of the soil and cli
matic conditions to be satisfied. Fer
tilizers also play an important part
in the performance records of cot
ton. It is noteworthy that a variety
adapted to one section may prove in
effective elsewhere. Some strains
are also subject to diseases to which
other varieties are practically im
mune. It is evident, therefore, that
no positive recommendations can be
made, but the consensus of opinion
and the experience of those who have
studied this question are matters
worthy of the most careful consid
eration and attention. This being
true, a summary of the findings
based on experimental tests and on
servations made through the agency
of the Georgia State College of Ag
riculture and its corps of workers
are worthy of careful perusal and
consideration. The facts presented
below are in summarized form and
represent the best information and
data available on this subject.
Soil fertility, rainfall, boll weevil
depredations and diseases vary great
ly in different regions, and the va
riety chosen must be one that is
adapted to the conditions where it
is to be grown. From the tests made
by the Georgia State College of Ag
riculture, the following varieties, are
recommended for north Georgia and
for sections of south Georgia where
the land is not Infested with wilt:
College No. 1, Piedmont Cleveland,
IVanamaker’s Cleveland, Steinheim
er’s Cleveland, Hooper’s, Trice, Sun
beam, Cook’s and Texas Bur.
For wilt conditions the following
varieties are recommended: Petty's
Toole, Covington Toole, Council
Toole and Lewis 83. All of these
are small boll varieties and have
not given such a high yield at
Athens, but are very valuable through
south Georgia on account of their
wilt resistance.
A number of varieties of long
staple upland cotton have been test
ed. The express variety grown in
1918 and 1919 is by far the earliest
variety tested. Foster also gave a
very high yield in 1919, but is not so
early as Express, although the length
of staple is some better. It is note
worthy that Lone Star, Dixafifi and
Webber all have *a high value, but
the yield per acre is not so high
as some of the short staple varie
ties. The premium received for these
cottons over short stable depends on
the length of staple and market con
ditions; so care should be taken to
prevent these varieties crossing or
becoming mixed at the gin with short
staple cotton. Dixafifi is the only one
of these varieties that is wilt resis
tant. In ginning long staple upland
cotton the speed of the gin, should
be reduced at least one-third in or
der to prevent undue cutting of the
fibers.
Meads, while classified as a long
staple, upland, has about the same
length of lint as Sea Island and
sells for about the same price. It
is much earlier than Sea Island, and
good crops cf it were secured in
1919 under weevil conditions. It is
not, however, as early as most of
our best short staple varieties, but
seems to be amendable in this re
spect. It is hoped that this variety
will supplant Sea Island in the re
gions where Sea Island was former
ly grown as roller gins and facili
ties for marketing are already pres
ent In these sections. The most im
portant factor concerned in the rais
ing of thic variety is the mainte
nance of a pure supply of seed.
There is a commonly accepted idea
that a variety will run out if grown
in the same locality continuously
for some years. Varieties do dete
riorate after a few years, but this
need not be the case. If the properi
steps are taken to improve a variety ■
and adapt it to the local environment,!
such a variety will give higher yields
than seed secured from some dis-1
tance. Seed that have been bred and ■
improved in Georgia are better for
our conditions than seed shipped
in from other sections of the coun- i
try.
The offspring of a cotton plant I
are never all just like the parent. '
In the breeding work at the Geor-1
gia State College of Agriculture the'
examination of a row planted from ■
a single stalk has repeatedly shown
variation in the stalks of this row'
in regard to character of stalk, size'
of boll, length of lint and other
characters. Some of these variations
are mere fluctuations, While others ■
are hereditary. Not all of thbse hered- |
itary variations are of as much]
value as the parent strain, while
others are better than the parent. If
'hese undesirable plants are allowed
to remain, they multiply rapidly and
by cross with better plants reduce
the value of the variety as a whole
so that unless cotton is selected, we
soon have the so-called run-out con
dition. Another cause of deterioration
is the mixing of seed at public gins.
The gin roll is not usually removed
between different lots of cotton so
that the seed become mixed in this
way.
The importance of live stock
breeding has long been recognized,
but not until recent years has the
average cotton grower realized the
importance j of selection in cotton
seed. Not every farmer has the fa
cilities or Inclination to try to im
prove his cotton, but there is prob
ably no one operation on the farm
that will bring greater returns for
the amount of time invested, and, if
a farmer does not care to improve
his cotton, he should secure seed I
every three or four years from some
good plant breeder.
As was brought out earlier, no
two stalks of cotton are exactly alike.
Some are high yielders, others low.
To improve it is simply nec
essary to pick out these best plants
and test them to see if these good
qualities are transmitted to their off
spring. ,
Before selecting cotton, however,
an ideal plant must be had in mind.
A medium sized, stocky plant with
an abundance of fruiting branches
close to the ground has given the
highest yields under boll weevil con
ditions. A plant with large, vegeta
tive branches near the ground even
though it produces a large number
of bolls is not desirable on account
of its lateness.
There are two ways in which cot
ton can be selected: Mass selection!
and pedigree selection.
Before the first picking the farmer
can go through the field and tag or
mark in some way the plants that
have the most open bolls at that
time. The pickers can then be in
structed to leave these plants. Later
in the season when most of the bolls
on these plants have opened, go
through the patch and pick all these
stalks. Enough stalks should be
saved to get sufficient seed to plant
a seed patch of several acres depend
ing on the size of the farm. Other
conditions being equal, plants in this
seed patch will be much better than
the general crop. Enough desirable
plants can then be selected from the
breeding patch to plant another
breeding patch the following year
and the rest of the seed used for the
general crop. By holding the cotton
from these selected plants until the
rush of ginning is over, most gin
ners can be induced to clean out the
breast of the gin and the seed can
be kept pure. It is best to feed the
cotton in the roll boy by hand and
spread a sheet under the breast of
the gin to receive the seed. If the
cotton is allowed to pass through 1
the suction machinery of most mod-1
ern gins, it will be mixed with seed '
of other varieties.
A still better method of Improve
ment that may be followed by the
grower if he has the time and in
clination is to go through the field
and mark the superior plants as
above; but the plants should be more
carefully selected and in small num
bers. Usually apout one hundred
stalks will be sufficient. Later in
the seasOi» these stalks are picked
and the seed cotton from each saved
separately. Seed from each of these
plants can then be planted in sepa
rate rows the following year, and
these rows carefully studied as to
earliness of plants, uniformity, form
of plant, size of bolls, and lint
characters. These progeny rows will
show w’hether the good qualities of
the selected plant are hereditary
characters. Two plants of apparently
equal value do not always produce
alike. Seed from two or three of the
most promising rows should be
saved and planted in multiplying
patches. The best one of these -two
or three can then be multiplied as
rapidly as possible.
Ginning out these small quantities
of cotton is a difficult matter. Small
lots, however, may .be hand ginned,
or the look, may be wet and plant
ed with lint attached. A small gin
can be secured by anyone going into
the business on a large enough scale.
If all the farmers in a commu
nity would grow the same variety
of cotton, the problem of maintain
ing a pure supply of seed would be
much simplified. If the entire com
munity raises only one variety of
good cotton, the uniformity of staple
will soon be recognized by buyers,
and the prices received will be bet
ter than ■ where lots of cotton with
staple of varying lengths are sold.

Dear Children: Here’s something 1 want you to do for Christ
mas—be thinking of it and making your plans.
Notice each day Mother, or whoever takes the Mother care in
your home; try to see the many things that you could do to ease
her daily burden. You will find that there are many small tasks,
like picking up things instead of leaving them for her to straighten
up when you are snug in bed, keeping the doors closed (nobody can
heat all outdoors, and some one has to see to the doors), keeping
fuel in the house without being asked, keeping water in the kettle
(it is so disheartening to have the kettle run dry, and nobody can
be in two places at once).
Don’t let her know how you are planning to help. Don’t worry
about whether some other member of the family helps, too—just
do your part quietly, nofr talking about it. You will be rewarded
by a happier, more rested Mother. The whole house will seem so
much more pleasant, and you won’t feel yours as hard work. Make
this Christmas present to Mother a year long. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

Dear Aunt Julia: 1 have been wanting
to write to the letter box ever since it has
been established, but have always feared
that I would be turned down, and not ac
cepted as one of “Aunt Julia’s band of
girls and boys.” I have lived in the coun
try all my life until last year, we moved
into town. We have a very nice little
town with a splendid school. I am a junior
this year. Cousins, let’s all strive for an
education, for we are due to have one, and
we should drink in the “golden oppor
tunity” and catch everything that is com
ing to us. Our schools are growing better
each day, and fixed so every child can get
a share. High schools are being built
throughout the country. The Uttle school
where I first attended has changed into
a consolidated high school, and how my
heart swells with pride as I look on it,
and think back of the wrestles between
myself and my primer, and let’s work for
a better America—be true Americans, and
as Old Glory floats over us, we can proudly
say, “I’m glad I live in the land I live
in.” Though the present looks very dis
couraging, especially throughout the south,
where Mr. 801 l Weevil’s force has marched
through—but, “behind the cloud the sun is
shining,” and we won’t despair. My sister,
who is my devoted pal and companion, and
I keep house for our father. Our precious
mother was taken from us last year. We
are the youngest of eight children. We
have a single sister who is a trained nurse,
and she is at home with us sometime. We
look to her as a mother when she is with
us, but when she is away we have to be
“brave little women” and fight our share
of life’s battle. For fear I will break the
rules of over-writing, will close. Would
like to hear from some of you cousins. Your
new cousin,

doing for pastime these winter evenings?
I have been crocheting and going to school.
I guess you are wondering how I look, so
here goes. I have blue eyes, brown hair and

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit one from the wire-grass region of
south Georgia to your happy band? I enjoy
reading your letters very much. I shall not

I am still in my teens, though on the home
stretch. This is a land of sunshine. We
have very mild winters with neither mud
nor slush. Sugar cane grows well here
and cane grinding is a favorite pastime
just now with the boys and girls. espe<?ially
in the late afternoon and early evening. The
summer heat is tempered by a gentle breeze
that is blowing most all the time. I like
farm life, though I have never tried any
other. I might like city life equally as

Tourists from the north have been passing

some will stay in Georgia, down near the

one very near to my heart. Here it is:
How to put a number twelve foot in a
number nine shoe. A cousin,
PAUL VERNER JONES.
R. D. B, Box 159, Ashburn, Ga.
Hello. Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
welcome another stranger into your happy
circle? I’ll promise not to stay long. I
live on a farm and like farm life fine.
How many of you cousins are going to see
Aunt Julia, Christmas? I can’t, for I live
too far away down here in Alabama. Be
lieve me, cousins. I have plenty of nuts to
eat now. I won’t describe myself this
time, for I believe thats’ why my other i
letter was not printed. I go to school, am j
in the seventh grade. Hope all the cousins ;
go and have a joyful time. I must go now.
If you all want to hear from an Alabama >
kid, just drop me a line or two. Oceans
of love to all. Your new cousin,
LENNIE GRIER. ;

Dear Aunt .Tula: Don’t you think that
it is# wonderful thing for the boys and girls
to have a nice school to go to? And. Aunt
Julia, don’t you think it is a great thing
for the editor to let ns have a space in the
paper? I am a boy. aged 12. and am in
the sixth grade. When I grow un I mean
to be an engineer. Well, ns it seems to be
the rule to describe oneself. I will, so here
goes: I am about 5 feet 4 inches, and have
brown eyes, fair complexion. Now. don’t
run. I live on a farm but don’t like that
life much. I would rather live in the city.
I have one brother, aged 11. and one sister,
aged 14. Well, ns my letter is getting
rather long. I will quit, hoping to see this
in print. All you cousins write me. Will
answer all letters received.
FRED COKER.

A 1 Over Another Threshold
/jf OOON you wiD put the calendars of a new year up on
O your walls. You have weathered the labors of the past
7four seasons—with what benefits and damages you recall
v full well. Now the cycle of a new year looms ahead, and we
must prepare to gather the fruits of 1921.
It is a time when conservative manufacturing enterprises
and business houses are reviewing the past, taking stock of
resources, and building future campaigns. Leaks are
stopped, needs are reckoned with, and plans are made with
extreme care.
Winter is the best time in most sections for complete
farm inventory, for overhauling machines and making
repairs, for accurate reckoning of profit and loss, for plan
ning crop changes, for discarding old habits and considering
new methods.
j - Every farmer knows this. It is good to see that there is
IW- m ’** more definite planning of full year’s work at the
U 010546 every December, on the farms of America. It is so
-•£- easy a matter to slide through the comparative resting
period of Winter, and then Spring with its hundred duties
bursts forth and finds many important matters and details
unattended to.
We are glad to note this trend toward business-farming
' ' because we hope to be allied with Agriculture many more
years and because our interests are so closely mingled with
the interests of the farming world. So then, while we are
setting our own house in order for 1921, we pause to publish
the hope that you. the reader, may set forth into a new year
arrnin S enterprise with all plans laid for a most profitable

The Tri-Weekly Journal's Own Serial
The Only Thing That Counts
A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia
By the Famous Novel’st
Carolyn Beecher
(Copyright, 1920.)
CHAPTER XXII
z z X 7 ES —Helen’s questioning
y eyes were wide.
JL “Some trouble at the
Wheelers. They can’t get
away.” Then: “Kato, serve dinner,”
:he said to the Jap, who had never
left the room,
The objection died on Helen’s lips.
It woqld sound so foolish, so utterly
silly, to refuse to eat her dinner now
that she was there just because a
series of unexpected Incidents had
kept the other guests away.
“Mrs. Wheeler said to express her
regrets to you and to tell you to have
a good time," Sloan said smiling at
Helen.
She was foolish! His tone had
been utterly detached. But there was
no time for further conversation,
as Kato just then announced din
ner.
“How lovely-” Helen’s admiration
was genuine, the exclamation forced
from her by the artistic laying and
lighting of the table—arranged for
only two. It did not occur to her
that as Kato had remained in the
room with them he had had no time
to rearrange the table, so exquisitely
set.
“You like it! Kato is rather an
artist at this sort of thing." He
poured her a glass of champagne.
“I am fortunate in having my own
cellar,” was his only rertiark as he
raised his glass to her.
When Helen saw the cooler, she de
termined not to touch the wine. But
Sloane’s tone, so indifferent, had re
stored her confidence; he made her
feel that she was as safe as if all
the guests had arrived. So she raised
her glass and just sipped a bit, smil
ing at her host.
Helen was artistic to her finger
tips, temperamental to a degree as are
all writers and artists. The soft rose
colored lights, the lovely glass and
china, the exotic flowers on the ta
ble, the furnishings of the room, Ori
ental in coloring and design, all ap
pealed to her. Misgivings were
soothed where they would only have
been: excited in a woman of different
temperament.
Gradually she gave herself up to
the seductive influence, the witchery
that surrounded her. She chatted
unrestrainedly, or listened as Sloane
talked, forgetting entirely all her
scruples.
Just as he had intended she should.
Clifford Sloane, a cosmopolite, a
man who had not only seen the world
but had seen it in all its phases,
who had walked in the high lights
and wallowed in the shadows, was
no mean companion when he chose
to exert himself. This he did so sel
dom that only the few, usually wom
en, knew his fascination.
.CHRISTMAS
Is Coming!
Here Are Some Tri-Weekly
Journal Suggestions for Mak
ing Simple, Inexpensive Gifts
at Home.
For the Housewife
Among the many acceptable gifts
for the housewife, a pair of poly
chrome candlesticks is to be found.
These can be used in either living
or dining room and are reasonably
priced.
Sweetmeat Dish
In the Japanese shops one can pur
chase very attractive sweetmeat
dishes in black laquer. These have
porcelain compartments and are dec
orated with Japanese flower designs.
These dishes have covers also prettily
painted. ,
For the Kiddles
A bowling set consisting of Hump
ty Dumptys on a wall will be great
sport for youngsters'. The figures are
gaily painted and are of wood.
Tonight he chose to exert that fas
cination.
Stories of foreign lands, not stories
of the beaten paths of travel, but
of queer outer places, some of which
she had never heard, he told. He
talked of these bizarre places, his
experiences, in amorous language,
the while he conducted himself as a
perfect host.
In fact, so perfect was his sang
froid, so repressed his manner, that
it was only as a host and a charm
ing talker that Helen thought of
him.
Sloane neither drank much him
self nor urged it upon his guest. So
Helen sipped more frequently than
she would had he insisted. The
wine, like the rest of the dinner,
was delicious, a rare vintage wine
cooled to nicety.
A connoisseur in life, even though
it bored him, Sloane saw that Helen
was falling under the spell of his
insidious charm. He had bragged to
men he had met that no woman could
resist a man did he depend upon
himself to win her; that he didn’t
need wine, excitement when his in
terest was piqued. But, given the
surroundings, a woman of tempera
ment, and he cared nothing about
the things with which men of coarser
fiber tempt women of whom they
are enamored.
It was this very difference that
calmed all Helen’s fears.
She had known men in the past
with whom she would not have re
mained alone, unchaperoned. She had
met men who tried to make love to
her almost before the introduction
had been accomplished. She had also
met men who were absolutely in
different to her. But to meet a man
who exerted all his fascinations just
to entertain her, to put her at ease,
was an anomaly. She was enjoying
herself immensely.
"I must go soon,” she remarked as
they rose from the table and re
turned to the studio. “It is get
ting late."
“Not so very, only 10 o’clock.” He
glanced at the clock as he spoke.
“We will have a little music first.
Kato, bring cordials and cigarettes.”
With a warm sense of comfort, of
well being, Helen sank into an easy
chair. Sloane lighted her cigarette,
then one for himself. Kato, at a
nod from his master, picked up a
violin lying upon the baby grand
piano and commenced to play.
The room was dim, the soft lights
illuminating only a tiny space around
them. Shadows chased each other
in the corners like' little elfs, while
the soft, sweet strains of the violin
lulled to sleep the last remaining
feeling of fear in Helen’s heart.
(To Be Continued.)
Chimney for
i Santa Claus
At a neighborhood Christmas
party or at the church, a “chimney”
for Santa Claus to emerge from
with his gifts would be rather un
usual. For this chimney a big box
should be chosen, large enough to
hide Santa Claus with his pack of
gifts, when kneeling. Cover the box
with paper resembling bricks, which
can be purchased in any large store.
Just before distributing the gifts,
Santa Claus can hide in the chimney,
then the are called in and
he clambers out to the delight of
the youngsters.
Novel Christmas
Tree Decorations
Effective Christmas tree decora
tions can easily be made at home.
Take candy sticks and dress them
up in crepe paper and ribbons and
thus convert them into novel candy
dolls. Gilded nuts, acrons hung
from the branches with colored rib
bon, and balls of cotton sprinkled
with diamond dust as well as rings
of tiny gumdrops strung on white
thread, make effective trimming.
