COTTON SELECTION. The so-called "running out" of va rieties cf .:oticn is largely due to the neglect of the grower in selecting his seed. Continued selection ls neces sary to maintain the uniformity and productiveness of any variety ?r cot ton, but the methods of selection used in the past were such aa to require so much time and technical skill as to oe impractical ror the farmer.' Simplen and <mpre. effective methods have been developed and explained in a circular ejitltled "Cotton Selection on the Farm by the Characters of the Stalks, Leaven and Bolls." ?This ls supplied free of charge by tho bureau of plant Industry sk Washington to in-, terested growers. Fanners who will limit themselves to tho growing of one kind of cotton and take th- necessary precautions -:o preserve tlie stock and avoid admix- , ture v'.'h - ther Trarlt'e? ces pvnduee better seed than they can buy through any of the existing commercial chan nels.
