AbCD SUCCESSFULFARMIKG Dr Andrew K. 6ovle, 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.

AUNT JULIA'S LETTER BOX ■7.. f, Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dumb Things" RULES No unsigned letters printed. No letter written on both sides of paper printed. All letters not s o exceed 150 to 200 words. 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. p; s.—Remen\ber how short a time we have to make our pledge good. 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, ANNIE LAURA M’COOK. P. O. Box 53, Gordon, Ga. Dear Aunt Julia and All: Hoy are you all this gloomy Sunday morning? I am very lonely, for it is raining like every thing, and I can’t go to Sunday school. I have been reading the many interesting letters from the cousins each week and I like them all. I am not partial to any; if I were it would be the soldier and sailor boys. Perhaps sonte of you are wondering how I look, so will give a brief description of myself. I am a little schoolma’am; am teaching in a lonely rural school where they call me “teacher” instead of my real name. I have blue eyes, brown hair and sun burned complexion, and five feet two inches high, weigh 110 pounds. Perhaps some of you remember Deaue Bitch. She is my sis ter. She is real sick now, has been for over a week. If she owes any of you cousins a letter you will understand why she has not written. 'Will be glad to hear from anyone who cares to write, as I love to get letters. WiH answer all received. Wishing you all a merry Christmas, I am, your friend, ' MISS BEULAH BITCH. Slatthews, N.

My father takes The Journal and I have been a silent reader for a long time. I live in the little town of Summerville, and like it fine. 1 think it is a good idea of Aunt Julia’s to adopt an American child. Well, I will de scribe myself and go: I am seventeen years old, have brown hair, hazel eyes, fair com plexion, 5 feet 5 inches tall, weigh 117 pounds. Some of you boys and girls write to me.

I have brown eyes, dark hair, medium complexion and weigh 108 pounds. My age is between fifteen and sixteen. I live on a farm about three miles from the little town of Blenheim, aud like farm life very much. How do you cousins like horseback riding? I am crazy about it. but I can’t ride very well, as I am just learning to ride. Well, I’d better go, and, if I am welcome, will come again. Some of you cousins write mo, for I love to write. I will answer all letters received. RUTH WYNN. Blenheim, S. C. Hello, Aunt Julia and cousins! I wonder if you will admit a Tennessee girl to join your happy circle. What are you cousins 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 fair complexion, am sixteen years of age; my birthday is May 23. I have a twin. Well, I guess I had better ring off, as I hear Mr. Wastebasket coming, dragging a broom. Some of you cousins write. I will answer all letters received. Lovingly. HASSIE MITCHELL. Chuckey, Tenn., Route 4. 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 describe myself at this time, but will say 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 well or better If I should try It, though I do not now feel that I would. We grow corn, wheat, oats, cane, peanuts and po tatoes, besides a great many kinds of fruits, grapes, vegetables and melons. Tourists from the north have been passing this way in great numbers since early Octo ber. Most of them going to Florida, while some will stay in Georgia, down near the Florida line. Perhaps I have broken the rules, so I will stop. I. too, have a riddle— 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. ; Deatsville, Ala., Route No. 1.

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 ‘ ' twelve-month 'Bu International Harvester Company OF AMERICA Chicago ■ (incorporated* USA ! ' SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1920* 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.
