GIN MIXED COTTON SEED.
Unless Grower Takes Precaution,
He May Get Neighbor's Variety.
Washington, D C, August 25:?
Few cotton growers realize when !
they take back seed from an ordin- j
ary gin to use in planting the next j
crop, the extent to which their seed I
may be mixed with the seed of the
cotton ginned just previous to their
lot. Yet this matter is of vital im-1
portance to all cotton raisers who j
wish to grow a uniform variety of
cotton. As every student Jbf cotton
breeding knows, even a few seeds of
another variety in a cotton field may J
through cross-fertilization cause interbreeding
and deterioration in a
large number of plants. Instead of
getting only a few seeds from a
neighbor's lot of cotton, however, J
' Kir anopialia^ !
&CIU&1 lQVtfSU^ttllUUd k/J OpvvtMt^ww I
' of the Department of Agriculture
show that in certain cases a lot of
? seed will contain as much as 14 to 16
per cent of seed left in the gin boxes
from the cotton ginned just before.
In the cases investigated not only
has there been a large percentage
of seed from the variety ginned just
previously, but it is found that some
seeds may remain from the second
bale preceding. It follows, therefore,
that a grower may very readily
mix one or two other varieties
with his special kind of seed.
Where a grower is particular
about his seed, he can greatly minimize
the mixing by quick, simple
and inexpensive measures in which
the average ginner will be glad to
co-operate. The following precautions,
which seem to be entirely practicable
and which, in fact, are now
exercised in some localities, are recnmmpnded
strongly in Department
Bulletin No 288, Custom Ginning as I
a Factor in Cotton-Seed Deteriora-j
tion, soon to be issued,
i The patron should accompany to
the gin the lot of seed cotton from
which he expects to save seed for
planting, and he should aid the ginner
in seeing that everything possible
is done to prevent mixing.
He should see that the flues, feeders
and cleaners are cleaned as thoroughly
as their construction will
permit before he allows his seed
cotton to enter them.
The roll should be dropped from
the roll box and the box should be
thoroughly cleaned. The dropping
of the roll is an operation with which
ail ginners are familiar. The con
'? A A 1 _ ,
struction of the gins is sucn tnannei
roll can be dropped and the box
cleaned in a very few minutes. Some
improved gins are arranged so that
the roll box may be emptied without
stopping the gin, thereby further
simplifying the operation.
Having cleaned the machinery up
to and including the roll ibox, the
next step is to prevent the seed of
the variety to be ginned from falling
into the conveyor. It is impracticable
to clean the conveyor satisfactorily,
and therefore it should not be
used when planting seed is to be obtained.
By adjusting the position of
the apron of each gin the seed can I
be made to fall upon the floor in [
front of the gin instead of into the
conveyor. From here it can be sacked
easily.' I
The floors about the gins should
be cleaned to the extent that no
seeds are left lying around to cause
mixing. Canvas spread upon the
floor to receive the seed from the
gins is often used. j
Such precautions require time in
which to carry them out effectively,
and time spent in this manner naturally
reduces somewhat the amount
of ginning that otherwise could be
done in a day. On tnis point the ginner
may find cause to base objection
to such procedure, but it should be
possible to meet the objection by
fully compensating him for the ex
tra time consumed. The expense or
special ginning in some sections may
be reduced by arranging to have it
done on specified days or at the close
of the season, when more time is
available. In any event, the amount
of money that may be required to
secure the ginner's co-operation in
the maintenance of pure seed is almost
negligible in view of the favorable
effect such precautions will have
upon the farmer's crops in succeeding
years.
Despondency Due to Indigestion.
"About three month ago when I
was suffering from indigestion which
caused headache and dizzy spells and
made me feel tired and despondent,
I began taking Chamberlain's Tablets,"
writes Mrs Geo Hon, Macedon,
N Y. "This medicine proved to be
the very thing I needed, as one day's
treatment relieved me greatly. I
used two bottles of Chamberlain's
Tablets and they rid me of this
trouble." Obtainable everywhere.

Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do Is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo. O., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. In buying Hall's
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine.
It is taken internally and made in
