\ * LET'S STOP PLANTING SCRUB 4
SEED. 4

The Progress Farmer.
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

> MMAAUUAAAAAAAAAMAAAUi <
> Columbia Record. 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.

TIIK LANCASTER NEWS,
SIMUTII Denied.
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. ||

The real superstructure of an ed- J1^3
ucation is erected by one's own per- ,jece

men have done this with very little &dm
or no previous preparation in the
way of a foundation, notably George
Washington, Abraham Llnooln and
Michael Farady. Ada
Some men acquire an education ^
and their intellectual powers are developed
