Mr. Hicks Writes About Seed
Dear Friends;
After bertig in Johnson County lor
soveral months observing very care
fully the different varieties of cotton
produced by our most progressive
farmers; and paying particular atten
tion to the difference In yield per acre.
I have become thoroughly convinced
that every farmer ought, and should
strive to' obtain the very best variety
of cotton seed, where by he might get
an Increased money value per acre,
with the same amount of work. Know
ing the need of better varieties of cot
ton in Fkanklin County as I do, I an)
taking this opportunity to show you
the results of a community test here
in this County which Is given below..
Don't get the wrong conception' of
what I am trying to Bay because I am
not saying this merely to sell a few
bushels of seed for some fellow who
has them on hand for sale. Not that
at all. I really have the farmers of ifky
home County at heart, and thoroughly
believe If once they try out these thoro'
ugh-bred varieties of cotton, and see
for themselves, the actual advantage
In producing these better varieties.
They all ylll be greatly benefitted and
In a tew years time be able to Increase
their net profits one-hundred per cent.
Did you ever stop to think that there
Is as many possibilities In breeding cot
ton seed^as there is, In hogs, horses,
or any other livestock. You wouldnt
think ot raising your pork now days
from the old "Pine- wood Rooters" as
your Grand-father use to do years
ago. Yet you are raising, a variety of
cotton that is even lowor compared
with the many better varieties that
you could produce, than the "Pine
wood Rooter" Is to your present breed
of hogs.
Why keep planting that Inferior va
riety of cotton, which only yields from
two to tour hundred lbs. lent per acre?
When you can plant a thorough bred
variety on the same land, and yield
from six to nine hundred per acre,
with the same labor, and the same ek
pense. It has been proven that the
Mexican Big Bole will do this and even
more. Why not try it for yoursolf? It
will -not cost you but very little to
purchase the seed, and It Is a settled
fact that you cannot get any variety
but what will give better yield, staple,
and grade than the so called "Sugar
1/Oaf" that so many of our Franklin
County farmers are now producing.

America, That Benighted

? Russia!
Moscow, March 16.^(Sf Associated
Press.) ? A tribe so primitive that It
believes Americans live on the bottom
of the.world and are therefore in dark
ness has been found in the mountain
villages ot the Dagheatan T>y Dr. F. ]
A. Colder, of the Hoover foundation.
These people, Dr. Golder cold upon
bis return here, think that Americans
do their plowing while walking upside
down with oxen to whose horns can
dles are tied. Believing that the world
is table-shaped, with themselves . on
Its top, they feel that tBe Americans
are Indeed unfortnnate because they
are compelled to live eternal night
Dr. Colder said thatln many of the
villages delegations greeted him as
a man from the world below, some
were anxious to know how Americans*
managed to get about. One old gray
tyserd, sorely perplexed by what seem
ed an umolvmble riddle, finally came
to tlft conclusion that Inasmuch as
Americana are wonderful people they
fly and learned to walk upelde down.
"They thought I arrived by way of
a hole In, the ground, the ladder to |
which la kept by the ctar of Moscow. "
Dr. Qolder asserted. ;
These people still njake flre with
flint and steel and use atone hammers
snd shepherds' pipes. Justice Is adr
ministered by trial by ordeal. The men
who are remarkable physique, go
about armed, to the teeth, tor they are
feudists. The" families lire In stone
