LOUIS, MISSOURI HARMACY ed that the most prolific field for the improvement of upland cotton lay in the segregation of the many types, the testing of each separately and the propa gatation of those which proved themselves of highest quality and yielding capacity.. Dr. Webber's w o r k, beginning about 1900, was done under the auspices of the United States department of agriculture with which he was then connected, and continued until he severed his connection with government work, about eight years later. In that brief period he produced two excellent varieties of upland staple cotton by selection and pedigree breeding from short staple sorts. These cottons, the Columbia and Keenan, are now planted over wide areas in many parts of the South and have been frequently proved to be fully as productive as the average of the short varieties.
