South Could Add Millions to Cotton Crop Without Any Further Expense to Growers Right Seed Selection, Correct ' Bed Preparation, Fertilization, Sorting at Gathering, Good 1 Baling and Care After Baling Will Achieve Best Results. BY CHARLES WHITTLE. The South c«n get 50 p«r cent, more for its cotton crop simply by producing and marketing it correctly. Bv correct production is meant rigfit soil preparation, planting of good seed, proper cultivation. By correct marketing is meant gathering of the crop in good condition, grading according to requirements of the buyer, proper baling and care till sold. And this calls for no other ex pense to the farmer than that to which he is now put. Further more it is not just talk on paper. Farmers are doing it. T n<v= warehouse gets a he investment, th the mills fan iealers in the ige to create a aod HE cotton crop pays everybody through whose hands it passes to the ultimate consumer, bet- than it pays the farmer, chiefly -use every one manages his but»- s better than the farmer. The ood per cent, on cotton merchant pretty well and finished products! manage to create a satisfactory profit. A fair profit to the cotton grower will come not so much through the increase in the selling price of cotton .as through economy In its produc tion an 1 marketing. Does this . sound like agricultural heresy? Well, .it isn’t. To permit the price of cotton to go too high, is to kill (he goose that laid the golden egg. The tilt In the .scale is bound to reverse. Never is th(%e a condition so satisfactory tni producer and consumer as when there .is an equilibrium Hence the cot-j ton grower should look not so much , to bulling the price as to cutting the . cost of growing and marketing. Preparing a Seed Bed. Deep fah plowing of land on which some legume has been growing, fol lowed by spring harrowing or disk ing are the most favorable prellmi- 'naries. Right preparation of seed beds in cludes the application of right fer tilizers. Live stock manure is al ways the right kind, but where this ’cannot be had in sufficient quanti ties. the commercial fertilizer must be supplied. One cannot apply fer tilizers intelligently without knowing -the requirements of the soil. In what is the soil deficient? How much ni trogen. how much potash, how much phosphorus, are questions which very few farmers ran answer concerning their soils. If they do not they ma\ buy plant food of one kind that the land and the proposed crop do not require, or they may not buy enough of another kind to get any benefit, in > either case there would he waste or unnecessary cost. Nor is a seed bed properly prepar ed that is deficient in vegetable or organic matter, for not half of the value of fertilizer wjll be obtained by the crop unless there is sufficient humus in the soil, as well as proper breaking and pulverizing. To ob- Thcso two eottou plants ol same variety were (frown side by side under same field conditions. One produeed 56 bolls, the other 23. The difference is that one was grown from good, strong seed, tin* other from poor, weak seed. this must be done while the plant Is still standing in the field, or at least before the bolls have been removed from the plant. Tke average num- boll her of motes t based* upon a gathered from localities in fie Prof R. J. «H.

Naturally then, the cotton bolls that have the fewest motes, should he set aside for the germination test. Preferably none with more than one hould be selected. Germination Test, rmlnation test consists of de termining what percentage of the seed will sprout. This can easily be done by taking f»oo or 1.000 of tii * selected seed, placing them under a moist blotting paper and maintaining a temperature of about 68 degrees far a week. If 100 owed of the 1.000 fail to germinate the germination record is then to hf * 90 P er cent. No seen should be planted which do not show from 85 to 90 per cent, germination record. This will as sure a good stand without which, of course, cotton growing is not profit able. It is well worth the time It takes to make germination tests.

It must be apparent from . thes< ftgur s and estimates that a farmer can never hope to raise two bales of cotton to the acre 'without selecting seed in the first place from good, healthy s alks, which have on them enough bolls to average two bales and more per hop*; by testing for motes and discarding thooe plants that produce them; by tests to know power of th not and by cultivation, hen t h Id he v of one, scolore number of •onductlng germination whether the reproducing » seed has run out or proper fertilizing a.id fectlve bolls ire lighter and rarely ever diseased ,in all four locks, tin loss from thl? source would average $2.00 per bale. But the cotton that remains after the defective is taken out, will bring at least 2 cents more par pound, or $10 per bale. Here we have a net gain of $8.00 per bale in consequence of carrying two bags into the cotton field in place of one. Appreciable Coloring. If 10,000 diseased cotton bolls got mixed up with 100.000 bolls in a hale, there would be a very appreciable coloring of the bulk. When the cot ton grader came to appraise its mar ket value he would rale it at feast one and a half grades lower than If it were clear of color. Viewed another way, for every eleven bales of cotton going to th** mills* ungraded or sorted, the defective fiber and the motes cause the mills to get only ten bales. This is a loss of 9 per cent on the entire crop— a loss that comes home to the farmer. The farmer who leave? his cotton out in the rain and weather during the winter suffers a loss of at leapt $5 on the bale because of the discolora tion and deterioration caused by the weather. \nd yet. tad to say. there are thousands and thousands of farm ers in the South who treat their cot ton that way, believing that it does not hurt. In fact, some think it help? the fiber, When they come to s*ell. they do not understand the mysteries of grading. ’ do not ques tion it, they are ignorant of the fact that hv their own carelessness they have caused their cotton to grade low and their proceed* from the crop to diminish. Through improper stor age of cotton, the South can count it. ; loss in the millions each* year. Poor Baling a Loss. Hf no le>*s loss to the cotton indus try of the South*4e that which coifies of poor baling. The exposed fiber scuffed against a thousand dirty sur faces from the wagon bed to w a ro wan house to car floors, from to dirty trucks and to dirty of ships and on to the manufac- saeh handling making the fleecy blacker, each hook of ihe han- yatvking some of the fiber out, move reducing its value.

May 24 Follow- ing the recent publication of the Good Roads . Year Book, which presents the road situation in the I’nited States to date, the American High way Association has begun the issu ance of a series of instructive papers presenting the most important phases of road improvement from the stand point of both the layman and the en gineer. Among the first to be issued is a reprint of the address by W. W. Kin- ley, president of the Southern Rail way. at the recent American Road Congress, on “Good Roads and the Cost of Living.' Mr. Finley holds that the cost of living is largely an economic question and that efforts should be turned toward Increasing he area of farm land under cultiva tion and increasing the yield of farm products per acre. He points to the well known fact that prospective farm settlers are largely governed by raBroadband public road facilities and that when these are not adequate farm operations are discouraged. Increasing farm products by get ting more people on to the land and by bringing a large area under more intense cultivation is largely a mat ter of transporation,” said Mr. Fin- ley. Concerning public roads as feed ers to railways. Mr. Finley says: May it not be a fact that the trans portation needs of many localities that seem to be waiting on railway construction would be met more sat isfactorily and more comprehensively by a system of good roads connecting them with existing railways? The railway should be located with refer ence to the main traffic channels. It can no more take the place of the wagon road for the collection and distribution of traffic in a rural com munity than the wagon road can re place it as a main highway of com merce. Considered as parts of a gen eral transportation system, th* rail way and the wagon road supplement each other, and I believe that this relation should be recognized in the formulation of plans for road im provement." Man Crosses Oceans For Bartlett Pears Trader From Interior Africa Travels to California to Eat Fruit. LOS ANGELES. May % 24.—Some months ago some one shipped from Southern California to London a crate of Bartlett pears. Later this crate was shipped to a German trad er at Kilolevel, on the east coast of German maudseharo, 10,000 feet above sea. 'Phis trader shipped a portion of the fruit to Tangangebra Lake, more than one hundred miles inland through the*’jungle. All but one had been eaten by the settlers w hen Rein- hold Radok, a wealthy rubber plant er. who has a plantation sixty miles inland, arrived there after eight months of travel. By chance the first thing he tasted was this pear. All this has to do with the arrival here of Radok. When Radok ate that pear it tasted so good to him that he decided to visit the land where they grew. Therefore he journeyed from Tangangebra Lake to the coast, took passage to London, and came here by wav of New York. How often we hear people say how the times have changed, and yet the people of this day and generation are very much the same as they were twenty five years ago in that they want company in all their new un dertaking. They want to lie sure that the general public will not accuse them of chasing butterflies. When began breeding thoroughbred poultry as a business exclusively breeders were few and far between so that it was s<* much of novelty that we had many visitors who would come miles to see our poultry and the manner in which we took care of it. At times it seemed to bV a matter of mere curiosity, while with others it was an honest desire to get infor mation. The women usually led in these trips of investigation and investing. We well remember a certain couple who eg me to our plant to investigate matters and purchase stock if need be, how the husband took particular pains to tell us that his wife was very much concerned about fine poul try but he just came along to drive and be company for her. He would frequently forget himself, however, and become more interested then he pretended, in what was said and seen, which led me to believe that he was head rooster at home but wanted outsiders to think that he was away above the chicken business, so took his wife along to lay it on to. Poked Fun At It. At that time when the chicken business was new and novel, people were disposed to poke fun and make light of it. How my old farmer friends used to sneer and tickle them selves over the idea of chickens be ing a business, when it was really such a small thing and should be beneath the notice of any man and sjuited only for women and children. Any one who would fool with poul try must be a little light in the up per story or slightly unbalanced. Perhaps we were both. Nevertheless we got a good deal of free advertis ing. by being called the chicken crank of our country and time. But we lived through it all and have passed into a period and time when we have all the company that we are looking for in this same business. Men have become bold enough, too. so that it is not necessary for them to take their wives along to shoulder the blame. In spite of all the sneering and talking that these men (fid they were always looking for some chance to buy three dollar eggs for twenty-five cents. A common trick was to watch the time when we were marketing a part of our product at the store and slip in and get them at the market price. But this kind of them did not last long for we very soon fixed the eggs so they would be none of the hatching tricks although perfectly good for the table. Had to Cultivate Trade. while a limited number of us had the fancy field pretty much to our selves we also had to cultivate the trade. In other words we had to be everlastingly telling people the value of good stock. Why it would pay them to invest in it. That it really was as we had been representing it. We increased our trade by getting what might be called colonies started in various sections of the country. When we got a setting or two of eggs or some breeding stock in good hands in a* neghborhood we were particular to see to it that this party did some talking about where he got his stock and so on. We would give him to understand that the more he talked about it and where it came from the more we would do for him thereafter. Soon neighbors were ordering stock from us until it was not long before we had a regular colony of customers who would come to me year after year for a chance of males, some eggs and the like. This plan would work well where the breeder was particular to give value received at all times. Prices in those days were good, but not unreasonable by any means. But few high priced get-rich- quick-schemes were in vogue at that time as we see then* to-dav in many places. We presume such tradesmen had not recognized the poultry busi ness as fertile field for their opera tions. Own Battles Fought. It was a question of fighting our j own battles in those days if we suc ceeded in bringing our good poultry into prominence. All our poultry journals could be counted upon the fingers of one hand, and the farm papers printed but little pertaining to poultry, while as to the dailies they had not even dreamed of it as yet. j When we had anything for sale we j had to put out the good cold .cash ' dollar for dollar to tell the people 1 about it. It was like every other new thing, i the people had to become educated to it. But we kept hammering away, i and the customers would come drop- ] ping in one by one giving up their money rather grudgingly, something like the householder pays his plumb er’s bill after the freeze is over. We saw the Silver Wyandottes come to light, and they were called just plain , Wyandottes. and*were made of about I as many imperfections as one could jLOs Angeles Citizens ;.H : ; I Ask for Woma n Judge imagine might be crammed into one | chicken. Then the Blacks popped | up and a variety name had to b< given the silvers and they were designated. These were followed the Goldens, Whites, Bluffs. Partridge I — and Silver Penciled. The Whites and i Practicing Lawyer for Many Years, Silvers have enjoyed great popular ity while the others have had a fair share of trade. Barred Rock Beginning. We saw* the Barred Rocks when they were crude also and had a hand in developing them to the point where they stand lo-day. We saw the Whites appear and go along for a number <>f years before they were followed by the Buff, Partridge and Silver Pen ciled. The Barred and White have had years of unprecedented popularity which no other varieties have ever seen so far. Some twenty years ago, the Rhode Island Red was introduc ed and bred lightly over the country, mostly by curiosity seekers. They failed to make a hit at that time and had about passed from sight and thought until a goodly number of admirers with the determination and the money took up the cudgel in their behalf singing their praises on every hand The general public took up the refrain passing it on from one to another until it developed into one grand chorus for the Reds. A regular epidemic began for Reds. Not that they were the best chicken in the world but they had the best boosters in the world behind them. They are a good practical fowl for all j general purposes. In fact they are- better for the utility man than they j are for the fancier, as they are so ; hard to breed true to feather. The ; fever is a little on the wane however, and the Orpington tribe is having its j inning at this time. Energy Has Made Business. We have observed duflhig these) years of our poultry experience that the popularity of a breed is not depen dent upon its sterling worth entire ly, but is the result of well spent ef forts and energy for the men who have them in hand and are determin ed to make a success of them. If they happen to be men of strong capabilities and a determination to win. their variety will Vie a winner right from the start. Such a class as this has been behind the Barred, , the White Rocks. Silver and White Wyandottes, and Rhode Island Reds. I Whenever you can determine that such a class of individuals are behind ! a new and apparently practical breed you can afford to join the procession and put your money into it. We have observed, however, that during ; all of these years of chicken breed ing in this country that the rank and file of the people demand some- j thing practical and full of utility points. For this reason no freak fowl has ever become really popu lar. Mrs. Foltz May Now Sit on Bench. LOS ANGELES.

Not Compolsory> it is almost pathetic when a woman's hair begins to fade and she realizes that it is turning gray. And yet there is no one to blame but herself for neglecting it, for the hair responds very quickly to the proper care and treatment. The hair turns gray because it has lost vitality, and when you pull out the first few white hairs as they ap pear you pimply enlarge the cells and coarsen your hair, and it will turn gray more quickly than if left alone. For many years we have handled all of the good hair preparations, and we believe there is nothing ; better to be had any where than our Robinnaire's Hail Dye. It is not the ordinary vulgar bleach or arti ficial coloring. We should have named it a Restorative, because it simply restore? your hair to its own original color and beautiful, healthy condition, and there is no reason why you should hesitate to use it if your hair is fading and losing Its color. It is our own laboratory product and we guarantee it to be pure and harmless. It has been in use for ! over a quarter pf a century, and we have' yet to receive the first complaint, but we can show you hundreds of letters, unsolicited, telling of the wonderful results ob tained from it.

There’s “Ethics” for you with a great big E. The facts are that he has in all probability had the very best skill that could be had anywhere and that the distant doc tors are willing to give a lot of flippy interviews which can only be inter preted as censuring the doctors in charge, and for what? Why, for the free ad vertising they get out of it, nothing else. I prefer to kick hy pocrisy in the gutter and get my advertising legitimately. We all hope the unfortunate patient will fully re cover, but there are 99 per cent of chances that he has had the best skill that could be given. But why in common decency didn’t these eminent men, when asked for an opinion, tell the truth and observe the ethics that should regulate every decent man’s life and say to the interviewers just what I have said above, that their opinion was of no account unless they could be at the bedside and know all the details of the case. In the same city where this patient lives a doctor sometime since said to a patient, “I do not know whether you have Specific Blood Poison or not, but you had better let me give you 606 anyway.” He gave it and from my point of view was guilty of vicious malpractice, for to-day the patient is suf fering from the effects of the poison and in danger of permanent injury from its effects.

In this case his code of ethics was for the good of his pocketbook and NOT the good of the patient. There lies before me a most pathetic letter from a patient who fully realizes now when too late the evil effects of this remedy and writes me urging me to save him from the further bad effect. Having been steadily in this work for over 35 years, I have seen some of the evil effects of routine treatment without a little common sense to back it up. Here is a man who has received wonderful relief by a very little treatment, who has had his urethra ham mered, punctured and lacerated for months for stricture and he never had a stricture at all. We all know, laymen as well as physicians, that a specific chronic urethritis is one of the most serious diseases with which the physician has to grapple, and yet day after day patients go to doctors who encourage them for the sake of a fee to believe they can cure them in a few days. When surgeons say that from 65 to 85 per cent of ALL operations performed on women is due to this one primary cause, isn’t it about time the matter is treated candidly and the patient’s good is thought of before a false and hypocritical Code of Ethics? I may be ahead of my times, but the world “do move” and is coming to see my view of it just as sure as Atlanta is one of the most progressive cities in the U. S. A.
