Green of Rlshop\llle lias I Veen Suoiv.ssful in 1 .v|M?rlin?Mii in truss. Ing Varieties. Meaopvllle, Nov. I,?Ai the whole I'ee Pre section of South Carolina is so enthusiustlcaliv Interested in long staple cotton anything concerning Ml ile\, lopoieut, especially in the breed? ing of new varieties, is of interest. The State s correspondent at this place Interviewed T. M. Clrcen of this city In regard to a new variety which he has had bred. Mr. Green has for a number of fi us been a large buyer of staple cot? tons am' has encouraged the planting of this cotton. He thinks the future of this industry depends upon better seh ? tlon of seed, the growing of staples long enough for the New Eng? land trade. And with this in view* he has, dur? ing the past . -ar, crossed the regular sea Island cotton with a strong, hardy Variety of the upland staple and the result has been more than grutifying. The new variety from this cross breeding is a beautiful, smooth piece of cotton, very tine and silky, re? sembling the linest Egyptian cotton In It \ture, and pulling 1 7-8 inches In sti pit, When it is known that the average stajde cotton In this State pulls only 1 1-4 Inches in length, the length of this particular cotton is phenomenal. A sample of this cotton has been submitted to one of the lending ex fA rts of this countr", who pronounced It 1 7-H cotton, and praised it very highly. He said that a crop of it would sell a great deal higher than the up? land staple. With 1 3-8 inch cotton selling for 18 to 19 cents, the probable value of this cotton would be about 26 cents a pound. Mr. Green Intends to experiment further with this seed and by next teason. the spring of 1914, wdll prob? ably be able to give it to the trade. According to the custom of breeders of new varieties of cotton of naming their production, Mr. Green ha? named this new cotton Green special t nd much is exptcted of thlj new va? riety.
