Premiums in Pure Seed
Co mm unities are learning to pro
tect themselves against hybrid cot
tonseed?"run of the. gin" seed?
"pot luck" seed?by getting laws
passed that keep anybody in the
neighborhood from growing an off
. variety of cotton. In 1926 the Cal
ifornia legislature enacted a special
\ law on this point, says the U. 8.
X Department of Agriculture, when
several counties were established as
pure seed districts for the Acala
variety , with no other kind to be
grown there* "The effect has been
highly bene^fi^" says the Depart
ment. "All the ?farmers of these
communities have seed of.the best
quality to plant, and the fibre is of
uniform quality that brings a pre
mium."

A Sign of Good Farming
"Fertiliser usage will come
to be looked upon as a sign
of good farming. The ferti

tended into farming states
that heretofore looked on the
use of commercial fertilizer

Especially for Tobacco
"In a crop like tobacco, where
commercial value is largely in
fluenced by artificial conditions of
development, the plant food ought
to be abundant, solvent, and fur

a fertilizer that is put up specially
for tobacco," says an exchange. . . .

headed for It. After disembark
ing from the train at Fayettevllle
he went some five miles out Into
the country and bought an aban
doned hog farm. This done, he
started a literary magatine called
All's, Well and commenced writing
and farming. Farming provided
him exercise and writing a slim
living, but still ho sttfck.
"I'm Hungry" Lodgo
With the help of his. sons he
built a modest country home
v.-hfch he calls Oayeta Lodge
"Oaycta" being a South American
Indian word meaning "I'm hun
gry." *
In addition to firty-three nickel
blue books, a considerable quanti
ty of nmgaxlne material and four
teen standard edition books.
Finger has maintained his family
life, paid out his farm, kept his
magasine alive, gained sefcral lit
erary awards for the excelhince of
his. writing, and tho latest rating
of "America's Most Prolific writ
er." In addition to all thl'.i
Finger prtdvs himself on having
Charles J. Finger (above) hu
won the title of "America's most
prolific writer" since he quit his
railroad executive position nine
years ago and built "Gayeta
Lodge," shown here, la the hills
of Arkansas. Here he devotes his
time to writing and farming.
