Anderson Phosphate ANDERSON, S i , f ' T N. ????^ x "**" Good Seed. t Good soil, good preparation and good a.ler culture are all Decennary Id the makmg of crops. Equally important with these Is good } Reed- Thix does not necessarily mean blgbprlced S"?>d. or seed that Is grown far Irom home. For the seed grown nearby Is eener ally found to be the beat. However, not always so. x Mncb can be done, and Is being done, to Improve all kinds of seed by selection and breeding. It ls\bard!y possible for every one to do tbis as systematically and carefully as ezperts, but any one cau follow a few simple rules that will help to keep tbe farm seed good and even improve tbem. Tbe commoa : plan Is to save cotton seed from tbe best colViAinrr o ?n t0D Picked, and that )> dry enough to kfep Demg a very un- when stored. This Is a very good ptan, bat It Via aIooti O riA is not always adhered to. The more care and lUCj Uc Clean dull attention the selection of seed Is given, tbe ? >/ nvi/1 /Inae ?/i/ more surely will the stacd^rd of excellence Z6/?, una, UUto 711)1. be maintained. A better plan than tbe above ? i-o-G-ne>A ^nl-f/vn would be to neiect seed from the beet stalks In re? renneci cocuon tbe best field, and only from full sized boils. r/-?ii nc Tvrcfor-o'KI/* Tbe only plan pursued In selectlu* corn baa i'UU tio pxclCXdUic j been to select the largest, beavlestearn, when going through tbe corn in tbe barn. Tbla \ plan eemn to keep np the standard of excelofoTVl#* rlirrocfiWA 'eoce in corn quite successfully, but there Is, dLdJiC) uigcauuicj * believe, h tendency to m-'ke larite stalks > cr mprlinm moAf aDa one ear to tbe stalk.

Field selection of seed Is best, and by ex erelong discrimination*-tbe quality or seed I mry be greatly Improved. ?Corn and cotton nave been mentioned par-. Uctilarly because they1 are the two principal farm crops. The same principle of field selection applies to al l plants. In planting tbls year. It will pay any one to secure good, reliable seed, if ttyey have not a ready that kind. Get tbe best your neighbor* bood affords, and if yon want to try seed from farther away, do so In an experimental way. not Investing too much at once. Tben, \ . In tbe years tacome. by carerul field selection of tbe best specimens tbe seed crop of every kind may be made better apd more producI tlve. Ir at times one wishes to get seed from otber growers, It may be advisable to do so, alwaj8 remembering tbat tbe cbancesare in favor of seed grown In tbe same latitude and climate as oor own. " -> Do not be sit laded with planting inferior /). seed this year, but try to get the best. Atteo- , tion to details will bring sucoee", and good seed Is one of the details tbit coo 1<1 not safely be neglected. Tbos Tolbert. r South" ROBSOrS MSMLMT HELD BY THE v POLICE.
