Iljah Mo, Alif. , " 'J Now Is Ibe Time to Select Seed Corn and Cotton Seed for Next Year's Crop, A man w ho has not studied the subject would find it hard to be lieve how much improvement can be made in the yield of any common farm crop by a little continuous care in the selection of seed. Farmer.! generally aro not careful enough about this matter, but it is only in the matter of cotton seed that there is almost absolute indifference. This is to be regretted. If any rnc is doubtful as to the improvement in yield and length of liber that can be brought about by using seed from the bestphtuts only, the article on this subject in the VJOi iearUookof the united hlntos Department of Agricitl ture will convince him of his error This article is by Dr. 11. J. Webber and is mainly a report of experiments matte bv different agricultural an thoritiesin the South. Dr. Webber. it will bo remembered, attended the sessions of the North Carolina Farm ers' Convention here in July, and suggestr . a practicable-plan of seed selection for cotton growers, which is given heiewith: "Take careful pickers that re main on the plantation continuously trom year to year und train thein to recognize the best plants, that is, those most productive, earliest in ripening, and having the largest, best-formed, anil most numerous bolls. Each year before the second picking, have these select pickers go over the eottor. from the best plants only. These pickers should bo paid uy tue day and not lor the amount picked. Preserve such seed cotton Separately, gin it seperntely on a carefully cleaned gin to avoid mix ing, and tis.i the seed to plant the general crop the next year. If suf- Iioient seed is not secured at the second picking, the same pickers can ho sent over the held again before the next picking. In "eneral, it is desirable not to use the seed of the tirst or la.st picking." If one farmer does not need enough stud to justify him in asking the ginner to keep the seed from this superior cotton sepcrate from the rest, let him join with bis neigh bors who seledt the best cotton from their Ileitis, put all tocether. anil gin for all at one time. More earnest elTorts are made to get a good quality of seed corn, but t hose efforts aro often misdirected. It is customary to go into the crib before planting time und pick out rgest ears, and while tins method of selection is better than iiiio e.t alt, there is yet a better way. for the variety making the biggest ear may be by no means the most productive variety. Quite probably it was the only car on the stalk, while a slightly smaller ear which you have rejected may represent a two-eared or throe-cured variety the olalks having these two or three smaller ears shelling out a much iirger quantity of corn than the talk with only one big car. .Sup pose, for example, that stalk Not has one large ear with 1.000 "rains. Stalk No ii hits two ears with iioo grains each 1,200 grains us huge us those on stalk JSo 1. Stalk -No i has three has three cars averaging 430 grants each l,a50 grains as large us those on No 1 orNo 2. It is very easy to see from which of these three stalks your seed Bhould lie saved. The right policy then is to go over your field now and select your seeu corn lor next year, taking the stalks w hose combined out put is largest, whether that ontniit, be the yield of one, two or three cars. If yon do not haul up your own corn, possibly tuo best plan is to go over the ileitis at the proper time ami cut off the selected ears with about a foot of stalk above and below the cars. J. hese can then be dis tinguished-from the other ears when the orop is hauled up, and the Seed corn piled to itself to be shucked and shelled whenever you please. litis work will reuuire a little lime aud attention, but it will briiiir you handsome returns when your corn aud cotton crops are gathered next year. Progressive Farmer. A Woodford county paper tells of a young niau np there who culled on his best girl one on uday recently. After they had talked until they could not think of any more to say, he declared his inVeutioiis of kissing tier, oho was apparently very in dignant and declared she would tell her father if he did. Remembering the old saying that faint heart never won fair lady, the .young man dared, and succeeded in planting a fairly respectable kiss some place behind the ear. The young woman arose hastly and walked into the other room. "I'apa, she said, .Mr. f, wants to see your new gun." "All right! All right!" said the old man, delighted with a chance to show off his new shot gun. Taking it from the rack he stepped into the parlor. ine young man broke four window- panes in getting out, and when last seea he was still running, bare-head' ed, down the country road. k.x. Cursini Will Be' Turned to Praises. We must bring the county people closer togbther by good roads and then we can have good schools. We are pledged to educate tho iooplu of North Carolina. We have heard from the taxation imposed for the purpose of educating the children and to build good roads; you must raise money by levying taxes. Some will curse you now, but tho future generations will sing your praises. INFORMATION FOX SCHOOL C0M.V,IT;iS IT NECFSSARV TO IMPROVE 0UU TCEMEN. Supt. Joyncr Advises Them as to Their Duties. State Superintendent of Public In struction J. Y. Joy her- is tending out to each school committeeman in the State a puinplct tonLtining in brief the duties an. I powers of seltoo! committeemen under tie- public law of 11)03. Appended thereto is the following letter to each one: Upon you, public school commit teemen, perhaps more Hum uponunv other school ollicers, depends the success of the public schools'. With out your hearty co-operation unit act ive interest in vour individual schools, this great work of public ed ucation cautiot succeed. "For your convenience, 1 have giv en above a brief summary of your duties and powers as prescribed by law. You are bound by the solemn obligation of your oflicial oath to dis charge these duties. You cannot af ford to neglect them. In the -:s- charge of them, us conscientious men, you can consider nothing but the success of the school and the good of the children. With suoh men, favor itism anil despotism can have no place, l'crhans the moat important of vour duties is the election ot teacher, lor, as the teacher, so wni be the school. In dischariro of this mil other duties, therefore, you can know nobody's sou or daughter, sis ter or brother, niece or nephew, cous in or friend. You are sworn guard ians of the children's rights ami i liter 's! s, and you should' consider these only in the select ion of a teacher and id nil other mailers relating to the management of the school. As pa triotic, men and good citieiis, von can rentier no more valuable ami peinmneut service lu your Slt.to and tommuhity than by discharging without fear or lavor, the simple hut impel taut duties devolving upon you ts chool commit tiriucn. 1 wish to ippeal to you, therefore, to acquaint yourself fully with your legal duties itntl to discharge thehi bravely as the iw directs. "1 do not need to remind you that there are other duties not mentioned in the letter of the law, but iiiclnd- 1 in the spirit thereof, as binding in their obligation as these. Among them are () Tito duty to visit, the school occasionally aud manifest in this way to teacher, children and nations an interest in its success, a desire to encourage Ft, and .-i pur pose to become acquainted with its work and ili needs; to aid in fre tting in the community a healthy public sentiment for education and to lead ill u:l movements lor the bet terment of the public school-; i:i) to co-operate w ith the teacher in liiel- ng iiml bringing into the school ai: hildreit that ought to attend. "A word of encouragement from the committee to the teacher, if de served, will frequently lighten h"- oail and inspire her to renewed effort mil greater success. A word of ;:d- ice, when needed, will frequently save the teacher front many u bliin- r and the school from failure. A word of suggestion or earnest appeal from a eominilleeiuau to an iimilTcr- nt neighbor will frequently result in bringing to school some bnghi boy or cirl and turning the whole current of the child's life from dark ness toward the light. These are simple duties, cording little in time and trouble, but thev ire worth doing. Thev will bring joy to those who do them aud bless- to those lor whom thev are dune." Bryan's Beautiful Fulngy at th. Crave ul a Friend. William J. lirvau deliveied an ad- Iress recently at the funeral of Philo S. Benn.-tt, who was killed accidently in Idaho, lie was al-o one of the honor-try pall bu'r- Tho address was made at the grave. Jlr. Bennett was one of the presidential electors on the lirv au ticket in Connecticut in the hist national election. Mr. Bryan said: "It is sail enough to consign lo the lust the body of our we love how infinitely more sad if wo were com pelled to part with the spirit that animated this tenement of clav. But the best man docs not perish. We bury the brain that- planned for others, as well as for its master, the toDgne that spoke words of love and encouragement, the hands that wore extended to those who needed help, and the feet that ran where duty di rected, but the spirit that dominat aud directed all rises triumphant over the grave. If the sunshine w inch a baby brings into a home, even if its .so journ is brief, caniwt be dimmed by its death; it the child growing to manhood or womanhood gives to the parent a dev-Joo m-nt of heart and head that, uiitw tiglis any grid I hat demise can cause, how much niori Iih'S a long life, full of kindly deeds, leave us indebted to the Father who both gives snd takes away? Th night of death makes us remember with gratitude the light of day that has cone, w hile we look forward to the morning. " To the young death is an appall ing thing; but it ought uot to I e tt these whose advancing years warn them of its certain approach.
