After the final picking,

as to total yield of seed cot

found that the exceptionally

brought it to third place as
to yalue of total products of
lint and seed. Full credit is
given to this wonderful

years. He is a very clever, un
educated, old time farmer,
originally from Tennessee,
Ilpfth comparatively little ex-
H&yience in knowledge of cot

ishingly productive plants

The Limbless Cotton Again
After writing our editorial
on Limbless Cotton last week,
ftwo or three copies of the re
port of the recent Cotton
Growers Convention were
sent us.
Upon receipt of these we
wrote Director Redding of
the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion, sending a copy of our
e litorial. His reply, which
we give below, explains itself
and the wayfaring man,
though a fool, need not now
be deceived by slick-ton ged
agents for the "Limbless" (?)
cotton.
Director Redding tried the
Jackson Limbless and twenty
other new varieties of cotton
last year. All varieties were
treated alike as regards cul
tivation, soil, fertilizers, etc.
The final pickings showed
that two varieties, Nancy
Hanks and Texas Bur gave
a better yield of seed cotton
per acre than did the Jackson
Ltebless, Nancy Hanks giv
ingfa better yield of lint.
Farmers wanting a good varie
ty of cotton can get "Nancy
Hanks" seed at less than one
tenth the cost of the so-called
Jackson Limbless.
Here is Director Redding's
letter:
Experiment, Ga., Jan. 29 '98.
Mr. C. H. Poe, Associate Editor Pro
gessive Farmer, Baleigb, N. C.:
Dear Sir: Yours of the
19th received. I thank you
very cordially for the edito
rial, of which you enclosed a
copy. It is what I would ex
pect to find in a paper once
controlled and edited by my
very esteemed personal friend,
the late L. L. Polk.
I have had no reason to
modify the general and par
ticular statements contained
in Press Bulletin No. 36.
I saw the celebrated patch,
and based the statements of
that bulletin in regard to the
probable yield of the patch,
on the examination then
made. The other statements
are based on my carefully
conducted experiments, and
on my familiarity with the
f iiia.il j vrtiiciicu ui cvjiivu, no, -
ling very far short, in every
particular, of his claims of
merit. He is very shrewd,
ery plausible, very hospit-
aoie, out you cannot reiy on
any statement that he makes
that has money in it for him.
This is his reputation among
those who know him.
I do think that every honest
paper in the South should join
in the effort to expose this
scheme to get the money of
the Southern farmers. A lie
travels much faster than the
truth, but the truth is
mighty, and will finally pre
vail; but I fear it will be after
the farmers shall have been
victimized tothetuneof many
thousands of dollars.
Very truly,
R. J. Redding, Dir'ct.
Lies vs. Truth.
Seldom has the truth of that
old proverb ,"a lie travels
faster than the truth," been
better illustrated than in the
case of the 4 'Jackson Limb
less Cotton." We notice that
numbers of North Carolina
papers are still publishing
the ''Report -of the Inter-
State Cotton Growers' Asso
ciation" on this cotton and
referring to it as sufficient
proof of the value of the cot
ton. Almost every country pa
per has this in the "patent
outside" portion of the paper.
We wish to call the attention
of papers to the necessity of
exposing the humbug at once.
We have a letter from a prom
inent member of the Asso
ciation who says that if any
such report was submitted to
the convention, he did not
hear it read or discussed.
