COTTON SELECTION. The so-called "running out" of va rieties of cotton is largely due to tho neglect of the grower In selecting bis seed. Continued selection ls neces sary to maintain the uniformity and productiveness of any variety of cot ton, hut the methods of selection L?.ed tn the past were such as to require BO .much time and technical- skill as to be impractical for the farmer. Simpler and'more'effective methods have been developed and explained in a circular entitled "Cotton Selection on the Farm'oy tho'Characters ot the Stalks. Loaves and Bolla." Thia ia supplied free of charge by the bureau of plant industry at Washington to In terested growers. Farmers who will limit themaelves to the growing of one kind of cotton and take the necessary precautions to preserve tho stock and avoid admix ture witli other varilles, can produce better seed than tney can buy through any of the existing commercial chan nolB. They can not only Increase their own crops but gain additional prolits by selling seed to their neigh bors. The demand for better seed is now very general and represents an Important opportunity for thc more Intelligent farmers of each community. LOVES PO KT I tY. Among the visitors tb Anderson .was Mr. T. A. Yeargln of Iva. who was thc motifrator of the Saluda C?lion meeting last Sunday. Mr. Yearglu is a member of the large family of descendants of A. Yeargln, a Metho dist preacher who? came down here from Virginia a hundred years ago. The father of Mr. T. A. Yeargln was Jeremiah Yeargln, a laruous teacher. His wife was also a teacher of note. .Mr. Yeargln is a lover of poetry and deplores the fact that not only does thc average person of today fall to appreciate the beauty of verse, but many of them really scoff at lt. He deplorer this as a deficiency of tho day and generation. Mr. Yeargln ls trying to get for The Intelligencer a copy of the old war song "I Am a Hebel Soldier." He was onr himself, although MB appearance is that of a man of 50. Pope's "Kssay on Man" ls one of Mr Yenrgin's favorites. Mr. Yeargln has a hobby, to have the Bible read regurlarly In the pub lic schools. He declares that that was what our forefathers came to this country for, and we should have the Bible read in the public schools every day. PALMSI NI>AY.

The organization committee was not authorized by law to -provide for the branch banks ?of ,ttje" .Federal reserve banks, but the act specifically 'states that such banks shall be established. This task will bc left to the supervis ion of the Federal reserve board, yet to be appointed by President Wilson. In its announcement the committee called attention to the fact that, un der the requirements of the act, it could, not find grounds for the estab lishment of more than one bank on the Pseiflc coast, but heid ?ul the hope that in the bear future another bank would bo authorized by congress and located somewhere in the great sec tion. Visited Eighteen Cilles. In reaching its decision, the com mittee tonight pointed out lt visited 18 cities, listened to argueuicnts of rep resentatives of 200 cities and selected its list from among 37 which sought reserve banks. Independent investiga tions were conducted by the treasury department. The organization committee, Secre taries McA.ioc-. l?oti?lou and Comp troller of Currency Williams, have spent most of their time for the last thiec months on this work. Although the progress of organiz ing tbc new system will not be rapid. lt is the intention of the committee to act as quickly as tho law permits that the reserve banks may be set up for business as soon as possible. . Banks in Good Condition. The usual statement of the Comp troller, following the last national bank call, issued yesterday, showed banks tn excellent condition to meet the demands shortly to bc made for subscriptions to reserve bank stock. The committee hopes that the gradual transitions uti der the new law will be made easily, without disturbance and curtailment of credit. Tt<e rivalry between many elites for the reserve banks ls intense and the committee'* decision probably may be iel lowed by protests and attempts to change the plan. Under the law, the decision ls not subject to revision, ex cept ty the Federal reserve board, and lt was believed tonight that the board will .consider a long time before it will attempt to make any changes.
