Raleigh, Dec. 26.?To get the heav lest production of cotton on a givei area of land, it Is necessary to havi a good stand of plants. Best standi are secured when the seed have beei cleaned and graded and this is a jol that might well be done when othei farm work ta not so pressing. P. H. Kime, plant breeder for thi State College of Agriculture has trlec out this idea time after time and hi has found that light seed have a low er percentage of germination thai heavy seed. He has also found tha the plants produced by the light seei lacked vitality atad a large part o them died. Therefore he states tha arrangements might well be made th'.i year to reclean all planting seed. Thi man who doesn't have a cleaner might get his neighbors to go in with hln and buy one for the community anc the seed may be cleaned on a com' merclal basis by some one who doei own a cleaner. . Mr. Klme says, "Maximum yields o! cotton, can be secured only -yphei there are sufficient plants evenly dis. Iributed on the row. Cotton will a? just itself to a poor stand but when there is half a stand a full crop shouk certainly not be expected. Gaps oi two or three feet are not so bad be. cause the plants on each side of th( gap will set more fruit It is the wide gaps that reduce the yield. On< who is not convinced of this should try weighing a row which has a few wide gaps of 6 to 10 feet occurring and then compare this with the tot/) which has a perfect stand." By cieaning out the trash, unglnned locks, rotten locks and poorly ginned seed, a ipore even distribution of the seed is secured. Black seed, which are very undesirable, are also remov ed and grading out the light faulty seed will give a better gemination and will produce stronger seedlings, states lir. Klme. President Coolldge has made it per. 'cctly plain to everybody, except uer. taps Senator Fees, that when he does tot choose he means. he does nor ihoose. Nobody - loves a fat man. thev say. >ut anyway the fat men we know itanage somehow to keep from starv ing and to N hanny through it all. Mr. M. S. Clifton, Jr., who M at home from Schenectady, N.

HOUSING THE DALEY COW The main essentials In housing dairy cows In the winter seem to be to keep them dry and out ot the wind and drafts, and to prorlde plenty of fresh air and sunlight. Apparently the mat ter of temperature In Itself Is not a vital consideration, except perhaps in the most severe portions of the United States. It has been noted at the Fed. eral cay experiment farm at Belts ville. Mil., that cows do their best in the coldest weather and their poorest during the hot summer months. Prob. ably there is no advantage In keep, lng the stable temperature much above freezing, and there may be a disadvantage if the temperature rises above 6 degrees. A New Yoraer stands ready to ult the f&mllv trees for $250, and t)?re are plenty of families that woulopay that much and more lust for a little pruning. * Shuffle Tim Up "That sailor's a card."
