What's the use, Mr. Progressive Farmer, of watting until next spring to select your seed corn when you can do the wor? so much more effectively now? ghat's Jhe use of planting gin run, badi^ mixed cotton seed when, by field selection now. you can make sure or a supply or pure seed tor planting next year?, We do fat claim that pure wed will double yields; put we are'certain that by getting the variety pf cotton or corn hget suited to yegr onrwiltInna and then#keeDinar it nurp by careful selection, you can increase your yields from 10 to 30 or even 40 per cent. In other worlds, good seed will mean an ipcreaso per ^cre of from two to twelve or fifteen, bushels of corn and of from 50 to 250 pounds of seed cotton. Aren't these Increases wcrth working for? In selecting seed there are several points that It is wall to bear in mind. 8ome of these-afi: 1. Choose a variety best adapted to your local condhlon* A variety of corn or cotton w|ji suited to the western Carolina, Tennessee, or Arkansas may, on account of differ?nt climatic conditions, be a very poor variety for South Georgia, Florida, and all the Gslf coast country. Here is where our state experi ment stations can hdp us. True, they may not always be able to name the particular variety that will prove best for our conditions; but they can name the three or four varieties that have done best, and froin these a good yielding selection can be made. 2. Hold constantly In miud the ideal type. In other words, once the desirable characteristics 0f a variety have been settled upon, In making future selections see that they are made only from planr? possessing what are the most nearly ideal qualities. 3. Plant a seed patch every year. It is manifestly impracticable to hand-select each year sufficient seed to plant our whole crop the next year; but it is comparatively easy to carefully select enough to plant an acre or so. Then from this seed plat selections ' an be made again for the next year's seea plat, while the general run of seed can be used for the whole crop next year. 4. Avoid mixing after harvesting. With cotton seed, however, careful V 1we may be in selecting seed in the field, it is simply impossible to keep them pure with our present ginning methods. Where a small handpower gin is not available, probably the ' best plan will be to hold the selected cotton in the seed until the rush ginning season is over, and then have the glnner clean out the roll and clean up thoroughly to prevent any other variety getting mixed with ours. 6. Avoid losses in stored seeds, Weevils and rats particularly should be kept away from seed corn, and it is imDortant that the enttnn ?ot>n h. kept dry and not allowed to heat. To carry out these suggestions will be neither difficult nor expensive, and doing so will mean better seed, bigger yields and larger profits This being true, can you any longer afford to plant scrub seeds?The Next Itest Thing to the Pine Forest for Folds Is?

I i For the first time in its history the i United States leads the world as an < exporter Occasionally It has sur- ' passed the United Kingdom in the exportation of domestic products, but, 1 it was only in the fiscal year ended June 30, 19IB, that the total Ameri- ' can exports, domestic and foreign,;. exceeded those of the United King- < dom. i The total exports in the fiscal year ' 1915 aggregated $2,768,600,000, a : against $2,170,100,000 for the Unf-i ted Kingdom, the figures representing in the case of the United States 1 an increase of 17 per cent and in the case of the United Kingdom a i decrease of 30 per cent, when com- i pared with last year. l The growing excess of trade and i the balanco of wealth in our favor,! will cause the United States to bo ever a shining mark in an increasing degree. Envy is now strong in the breasts of certain European powers. Therefore it is necessary that the protective abilities and facilities of' this country should bo increased. We need no standing army of halt I a million men. but we need an organ- 1 ized, seasoned, disciplined home reserve that could be mobilized as readily as the minute men of 1776. It is the home of the wealthy that excites the cupidity of the burglar. And in like manner the United States from now on must have her burglar alarms- and her other protective measures. For we are on the defensive, mor-, ally if not actually. Efforts are making in all the states' to place the National Guard in a condition which will enable the war department to develop according I to army rules. Every state must , have cavalry, field artillery, a signal corps, a quartermaster's corps, and; hospital and ambulance service as well as Infantry. The coast states I should all have coast artillery as well. The organized militia in many , of the smaller and sparsely populated : states has hitherto been confined to _ I a few companies of infantry. Bu? I In the upbuilding it does not neees- i i sarlly follow tlist the numbers of the National Guard will be greatly ; ^ increased. I The most important part of tb? program for the. strengthen;ng of our national defenses will relate to the , formation of reserves for both the < , regular-army and the National Guard < and the adoption of a systematic 1 . plan for the training of citizens for ( , military duty. Conscription wit? j , play no part in this program. As The Record has pointed out ; heretofore, the times demand that , hero at the state capital there should be a battery of heavy artillery, and we would go further and suggest that every city in this state should liuve a machine -pnn ti. I moral effect of the presence of such defenses would keep the household well regulated, and would keep the ' burglars at a distance. Carrying It Too Far. [ An agreeable disposition U a nice , thing, but some people are so eaay to get along with that it's no fnn to get , along with them.

Greenwood Journal. We learn from The llaptist Record of Jackson, Mississippi, that the newspapers of Atlanta have closed their columns to the ministers and the people who have been working to better conditions in that city. We quote the following editorial de uvaiaucv iruui me uecora: "The Christian Index Hays that the men and religion movement in Atlanta has helped to clean up the city of its segregated vice districts and other forms of crime, but when the> undertook to expose the violation of the prohibition laws by club3 which sell liquor they suddenly found the columns of the daily papers closed to them. It seems a burning shame that the daily press should side with the lawless. This is part of what The Index says: The good people of Atlanta and of Georgia have come to the parting of ways. Free speech is denied the leading ministers and laymen of Atlanta by the daily papers, because their money cannot buy their space to expose lawlessness and sin. Brewers and liquor dealers the country over can buy all the space they want to advertise their wares, but godly men cannot have it at any nrice to exDOse the sins nf the ritv md state, lest they hurt their material prosperity. There has never been a time like this in the history of the city of Atlanta. We submit that the denial of free speech, by refusing to sell space in which to express it, and the effort to cover up the sins of Atlanta, will hurt the eity a thousand fold more than the exposure and correction of her sins." | ft is a pretty bad state of affairs when the bad element have free access to the newspapers in the way of liquor ads and the support of clubs which are nothing more than barrooms, and when the pretense of injuring a city is given as an excuse for not exposing vice. Vice and crime covered up are far more hurtful than when they are exposed. The thing to do is to turn on the light; j for crime flourishes only in the dark md under protection. || Plies Cured In 6 to 14 Days four (IruKRtst will refund money if PAZO )1NTMKNT fails to cure any ease of Itching.
