Washington, Oct. 10.?A new nethod of testing germination of :otton seed is being tried out at vaious southern experimental stations it was announced by the Unit?d States department of agriculture ivith the result it is expected that old nethods may be superceded. Cotton growers would welcome a test method that would give results as dependable as the methods applied to testing corn for germination as the cotton seed tests in use at the present times are declared to be not very satisfactory on most strains of cotton. There is always mucn pvur cottonseed for planting, both that in the dealers' hands and that kept by the growers themselves, it was said, and for that reason alone a good germilation test is urgently needed. The reason for the large quantity of bad seed it is said, is that very little is aiown about the effects of various conditions on the vigor of the seed, rhe old way, according to the deDartment's announcement is to put the seeds between strips of canton lannel moisten them, then keep ;hem in a temperature alternating 3etween twenty and thirty degrees :entigrade. Better results have been obtained in the new manner with some strains of cotton by planting :he seeds in soil in boxes and put;ing the boxes in incubators where the proper temperature can be mainlined. One sample thus tested by soil method, germinated about nine;y percent while twenty samples :rom the same lot tested in the usual vay, gave results varying all the way 'rom 14 to 50 percent germination, rhe department however, is not yet eady to say that the new method - ?1:?i- ~?1,, tnnr 5 enuiciy dausiatuxy ao winjr a. ict? >oil tests have been made. The exjeriiqents are still being made at the itations. In addition to its efforts to levise a good germination test, the lepartment is studying the effects of storing seed when too damp and of jicking seed at various stages, of maturity. urday I vans I isisting of Shirts, jg ;h we will sell at I o miss these Bar- jg 1 J " 1 1.1 tins listed oeiow: m DRY GOODS I 5c Dress Gingham per yd. _ 19c Kg 5c Outing per yard 18c. fi 5c Cotton Flannel, _ 10c & 15c.
