R*:' \v'v'.: 2 Agricultural p?' A 1 A Lesson in Selecting and Improving One's Cottonseed and the Law Governing Seed Selection. On July 19th we spent the nUht with A. H. Rooks, one ol Richmond County's most pro(rrocwurn fnrninr y Mr UnrtLu ik-.c fiivoojiu li?i mv-i u, ifi i , A?vvrnu *???< a thousand acres, but he ha learned the value of rich lane and intensive methods, lie ha one hundred acres worked bj wage hands, which is rapidly improving. lie lms thfr'y-tw< acres ol this in cotton tha' wil make a bale per acre this year that five years ago only producer three bales of cotton. While Mr Hook believes in improving hii land, ho also believes in improv. ing his seed. He has been improving his cot ion by going ovei his pr< raium pat<'h and picking the boils from only perfectly shaped and fruited stalks, lit has teen practicing this systen for ten years or more. We walk ed through the terrace containing tho:e select seed and could read ilv see that the otton was su perior to the rest of the field but in this spot, many stalk showed marked .superiority as compared to other--, tor instance we counted two stalks near together of equal height, but one far more perfec'l.v shaped anc fruited?the one had 35 bolls the other only 20 bolls, or a dif fereneo of 15 bolls?on an acrt this would make a difference o yield of more than half a bale ol cotton. This lias cau-ed us to reflect upon the law Lioverning 'lie selection ol see ls, or more prop, erly, the law of selection. TIIK LAW OF SELECTION, (iod has made ttie two main forees of this world, d am! ?vil, to be at perpetual war will . zone another. Under favorable .conditions, evil wins, temporarily at least. The fundamental la" underlying the improvement o seed is, that like produces like so we would soon have a pertec l f \Af o ' n I L? u 1 x ?1 variety iroui o t?,.r,o ?/h for another contrary force a work, and it is the original sir or tendency to revert to tli primitive type or original forn or, as we say, a tendency t "run out."
