Poor Cottoo Crop* of ten Due to
Poor Seed Selection, Caoaed by
Mixing Seed at Gins-Extension
Service Providing Community Se
lection and Breeding.
West Raleight, N. C., Aug. 30
?The efforts of individual growers
to improve their varieties of cot
ton are greatly hindered by the
mixing of aeed at the public gins
and by crossing from neighboring
field; therefore the matter of cot
ton-breeding becomes a commun
ity problem instead of an ndiv
idual one. Too large a portion of
North Carolina is of poor quality
and poor grgde, and this is due to
the poor yielding varieties grown
and the lack of seed selection,
Every cotton-growing communi
ty should be interested in the pro
duction of good cotton of uniform
quality. This mav be done by
adopting one good variety for the
community and selecting seed from
it each year. This plan has al
ready proven advantageous to
many cotton growers, as cotton of
uniform length cf fiber and quality
may be marketed much morp suc
cessfully than where there is a
mixed lot placed on the market.
To get the best variety for any
community il an easy matter. A
variety test may run on some
farmer's place, and the variety
that consistently gives the best
yield aod quality should l>e select
ed as the one for the community .
This variety may then be further
improved by careful seed selection
each fall. In this work of choos
ing the best variety it should be
remembered that the decision must
not be left to the eye alone, but
cotton from eacb plot in the test
shenld be carefully weighed and
the weights and quality of line
compared
The Extension Service Iim had
this work underway in the State
for several years now, at different
points. At Vanceboro, Craven
County, Mr. J. G. Bland is allow
ing the use of Ihis farm for the
purpose of finding the best variety
for the communti.v; at Maclesfierd,
Edgecombe County, Mr. W. W.
Eagles; at New Bern. Craven
County. Mr. D. T. Richardson; at
Scotland {feck, Halifax Connt.,,
Messrs. F. P. Sheids and G. K.
Moore; in the Steel Creek Section
of Mecklenburg County, Messrs.
S. M. Neely. C. B. Choate, and J.
P. Stroup; ahd at Manchester, in
Cumberland County, Mr. R. W.
Christian is carrying on the work.
It will be to the interesrof the
communities in which these tests
are being conducted to keep in
close touch with the results obtain
ed. The plots should be visited
and the men who are doing the
work should be cooperated with,
ho that a good variety for the
community may be chosen and
improved.

PROVIDE MEDICAL IN
SPECTION FOR SCHOOLS
State Board of Health Saya it ia
Safe to Open Schoola Un
der Medical Inapection
In answer to an inquiry as to
whether or not it would be safe to
open shools in September on ac
count of the prevalence of infan
tile paralysis throughout the
country, the State Board of Health
says that theie will likely be no
danger of an outbreak of this dig
ease at the opening of the schools,
and certainly not if the schoola
open under the supervision of a
medical inspector. The Board
emphasises the importance of pro
viding this 'means of safety and
prevention not only of infantile
paralysis, but against all contag
ious diseases, particularly
measles, whooping cough, scarlet
fever, and diptheria. In this con
nection the Board a*ys that there's
far more danger from an outbreak
or epidemic of measles, scarlet
fever or diptheria than that sf in
, fantile paralysis and that the fa',
I talty as well as the serious after
i effects of the diseases are very
. near as great as those resulting
r from infantile piralysis. ,
9 Another point stressed by the
Board in connection with schools
. and epidemics is that to keep the
school open in case of an epidem
1 ic and employ a medionl inspector
a is the best means of controlling an
J outbreak of any communicable
1 disease. The school acts as n
J clearing house wherein the spread
>? of the disease is checked.
