Selecting Cottonseed.
Secretary J, H. Connell of the
Texas Cotton Convention has is¬
sued a circular bearing directly
upon the selection of seed, es¬
pecially in the boll-weevil dis¬
tricts of the State. Texas rail¬
roads have recently agreed to ex
tencPthe reduced rate on cotton¬
seed intended for planting and
shipped from points east of the
Mississippi river to Texas, and
the fact is now assure 1 that a
large per cent, of the farmers liv¬
ing near .the railroad towns in
the boll-weevil infected district
have engaged or purchased
through merchants or banka
large or small supplies of seed for
use next spring. The seed are
now being received and parceled
out as they arrive. Mr. Connell
says:
“The peculiar conditions ex¬
isting in the cottonseed trade at
this time will justify the late buy¬
ers of cottonseed in requiring the
names of ginners and growers of
seed in every case that the buyer
pays a high price for what is
claimed to be ‘extra select and
improved oottonseed.’ It could
not be expected that a ceitificate
of this nature could be supplied
with gin-run seed, nor would it
be necessary to require such a
statement in buying of origina¬
tors of a given variety, or of their
agents. This precaution, if tak¬
en, will enable the Buyer tobheck
up or make record of the soil, va¬
riety of cotton and other condi¬
tions that control earliness which
will be of value in connection of
%
the steed he may wish to buy an¬
other year from the sanao terri¬
tory .
“This precaution grows more
necessary as the cotton season
advances and select seed true to
type are scarce. It is with some
of these facts in view that the
Dallas Jobbers’ Cottonseed Sup¬
ply Co. was orgaiized by the
business men of Dallas to serve
the cotton-growing interests of
the State and procure for the
grower seeds of two grades; first,
select seed, true to type; second,
gin-run seed. The business men
in a number of Texas towns have
served their communities in this
capacity. The Dallas business
men offer their services and the
judgment of their Texas agent,
now in North Carolina, «o the en¬
tire State. We learn that the
Houston business men may in
the near future perfect a similar
organization for bringing in seed
at actual cost price from tne eas¬
tern territory for the benefit of
the cotton-gruwer living in the
region tributary to Houston. Sucn
organizations are acting indepen¬
dently of the T 'xas Cotton Con¬
vention, but are adopting the ad-,
vice laid down by the convention
at its recent meeting.
“Any general alarm that may
now be sounded will only check
the demand for improved seed in
the remote cotton-growing dis¬
tricts, where the movement is now
reaching. The executive com¬
mittee of the cotton convention
has been unable to hear of any
misrepresentations or frauds
practiced against the purchasesr
of seed. No such accusations
have been made in any instance.
In the nature of the case, facts
bearing upon alleged misrepre¬
sentations cannot be presented
conclusively until the cotton crop
is grown from the seed in ques¬
tion.
“As a matter of fact, Texas
farmers in the boll-weevil district
can hardly suffer any injury in
planting eastern cottonseed, even
the ugh it is actual gin-run. This
grade of seed is far better than
Texas common seed for the boll
weevil districts. The small cost

of suuh seed, amounting to twen¬
ty cents or thirty cents per acre,
will be returned to the Texas
grower ten times over though he
may buy nothing better than gin
runf because of the great value
of che improved varieties of cot¬
ton such as have been grown for
twenty-five years by thousands
of farmers in eastern and south¬
ern States. Care should be tak¬
en, of course, to pay only gin-run
seed prices for such Cottonseed.
“Some of .the warnings appear¬
ing in the press are merely the
result of the sharp competition
now on among dealers who have
large quantities of eastern gin
rnn seed on hand. There are a
number of quick-maturing cot
tdhs in the market from Alabama
Georgia and the Carolinas bid¬
ding for Texas trade, several of
which are of practically the same
value, and some of the varieties
that are not known to Texas
farmers will prove well suited to
boll-w eevil conditions. Besides
these' foreign kinds, there are
several Texas varieties with
staunch supporters.”—Manufac¬

That District Court Bill.
Prom the Dawson News.
The bill of Congressman Griggs
now introduced in the national
house of representatives, which
has for its object the establish¬
ment of a division of the federal
court with headquarters at Al¬
bany, is becoming a subject of
absorbing interest, especially in
some cities and towns which
have no direct interest in the
matter.
The latest protest comes from
Macon, which is not only in the
judicial district in which a ma¬
jority of the comities that will be
affected are located, but it is more
than a hundred miles distant.
The Macon chamber of commerce
has passed a resolution request¬
ing Senator Bacon and Congress¬
man Bartlett to oppose the meas
ure, and it is announced that a
met ting of the Macon bar will al¬
so be held to join in the protest.
Under the present conditions
these gentlemen get some busi¬
ness in a spiall number of the
counties that will form a part of
the new division, and it, is per¬
haps natural that they should
consider prospective fees instead
of the convenience of the people
of this section.
Under the bill the proposed
new division will embrace the
counties of Baker, Clay, Early,
Quitman, Randolph. Terrell and
Webster taken from the western
division of the northern district
with headquarters at Columbus
and the counties of Berrien, Col¬
quitt, Decatur, Mitchell and
Worth from the southwestern di¬
vision of the southern district.
Most of thesecounties have sent
Judge Griggs strong petitions
favoring the new court at Albany
while two or three have reques¬
ted that they be left out. The
wishes of these latter counties
will be respected, and they will
not be disturbed, hut the pro¬
tests of outsiders will not be re¬
garded.
The new division will be form¬
ed and embrace the counties
whose people want it, regardless
of outside interference.

Editor Yerby’s Address.
W. E. Yerby, President nf the
Alabama Press Association, in
his annual adcjress recently, gives
utterance to a few truths in a out
shel, which impresses one that
human nature is the samq the
world over:—Henry County
Weekly.
“Before closing these remarks
I wish to say that an editor is a
man who is supposed to knqw
everybody, but I wish to mention
a few things that we do not know
and may never know.
“1. No newspaper man knows
why it is that the worst enemy
the paper has is the person who
contributes nothing to its support.
“2 Nor do we know how it
comes about that among the pa¬
per’s most constant andj harshly
critical readers is the man who
never subscribes.
. “3. Nor do we know why an
editor is expected to publish im¬
moderately long obituaries, free
of charge, extoling the virtues,
real or supposed, of some one who
never in his lifetime contributed
a cent to the paper’s existence.
“4. And it is beyond our ken
why some business men will pay
more for an ad to one of the fel¬
lows who go around getting up
directories, to be stuck up in
some hotel or depot, than they
spend with their home paper in a
year.”
