I' f bKRTEORO COUNTY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER ^ A PAPER WORTH ^fHlLE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIU M IN EAST CAROLINA wolume XII. - Eight Pages Ahoskie, North Carolina, Friday, February 10, 1922 One Section No. 41 I\ I IK I A inih 11 I Ml ' I ? *?? ?* ? . m ? (By H. L. Miller) A whole lot has been written ?nd said as to the value of good <eed; but, after all, some con crete figures on actual field re mits are a lot more convincing than your or my opinion. Real izing the value of accurate fig ures obtained from actual field testa. We carried on several variety teats with cotton, in the different sections of the cqunty last year. The highest average yield per acre was obtained with the Cleveland Big Boll seed direct from the Model Seed Farm. This average yield ^as^567 lbs. df lint cotton per acre.*The lar gest average yield was obtain ed from sugar loaf, a popular local variety of cotton. This yielded an average of 471 of founds per lint per acre. As you! can readily see by substruction the pure bred seed yielded 96 pounds more lint per acre than the best Ideal variety. Ninety six pounds at sixteen cents per pound amounts to $15.36. Take from this the cost of the pure bred seed used to plant the ac re ($2) and it leaves you a pro fit of $13.36 in favor of the pure bred seed. The Cleveland Big Boll that had been grown in the county three or fotir yean, made on an average 81 pounds less line cot ton per acre than- seed direct from the Model Seed Farm. Cleveland Big Boll seed had been kept free from mixing, too and, in fact, on one of the farm where the t?st was made, that of Mr. D. R. McGlohon, of the town of Winton, the local Cle veland Big Rpll had been grow there exclusively for three ye ars and ginned on the farm, so there wasn't any possibility of mixing. In spite of this, his Cle veland Big Boll seed made SI pounds of lint less per acre than did the sdme cotton direct from the breeder. It had simply re verted back almost to the par ent stock, due to, lack of held selection and breeding. So, these figures absolutely prove that even tho you have a varie ty of cotton (or corn, or any oth er seed for that matter) thht i you know is free from mixing, i if you have not bred it up by field selection and plant breed ing methods (which the aver age fanner does not know how to do) you are losing $10.00 to ' $20 per acre every year on ev ery acre of cotton you havd. Poor seed and poor stands are the costliest mistakes our far ; mers make. If I could get every farmer in ; Hertford County'to plant every acre of field crops in pure bred seeds I would consider that I had done more for him than if it were possible for me to give him a present of one thousand dollars, for the pure bred seed can easily amount to a thous and dollars more profit in one year on aa eight or ten horse farm, and. ofcourse, this profit coald be had flrom year to year. You say you cannot afford to buy pure bred seed? If you will stop and think a little you will see that you can't afford net to bhy pure bred seed, at loast every second year, unless you would breed up your own seed.

Many of them are inno cent victims of the Great War, while others were made parent less during Turkish depredati ons into Armenian in the name of Mohammedanism. "Many of these children were made orphans," declared Col. Bellamy, "when 300,000 of Ar menia's 400,000 troops were killed in the defense of the gr eat Baku oil fields. Germany's failure to capture these short ened the war by many months. That is, according to all the ex perts. "Had the war not been thus -shortened there is many a state boy back home who would ot herwise now be sleeping under a wooden cross in France. N. Carolina cannot let the children of these heroes starve or freeze to death." The parents of other children were murdered by the Turks during the depredations cloak ed under the guise of a Moharii roedan crusade when they re fused to renounce Christ and become Mohammedans. removed from the breeder they revert back in a hurry. You can afford to buy seed direct from a plant breeder and plant them the second year on your I farm, but ifr you have not care I fully field selected your seed I during these two years, it will1 ! cost you a lot more to go on us ing them than will new seed direct from the breeder again. This conclusion is not guess wo rk on anybody's paHr-4t is sim ply the actual results that were proven, in the experiments gi ven above. If you cant afford to plant the best seed to behad, you should not try to plant any at all. ?O The Hoirald is "fttten" to read. Send us your subscrip tion to-day.
