The United States, however, has but 322,000 of them, or approxl- ; mately 1 per cent More than 96 ' per cent of the number live south of the Mexican border, according to E. W.

" ( The first picking is often green, and heavy with moisture, while the. last pickings are frequently light and damaged by boll weevils. However, good seed may be se-j cured from the first picking if there, has been no rain on it, said P. H. Kime, plant breeder for the Agricul-, tural Experiment Station at State College. After the cotton is picked, it should be g;ored in a well ventilated house: and spread out to dry as much ast possible, he aid. Damp cotton left in a large pile; usually develops enough heat to im pair the germinating power of the seed. Cotton from which the seed is to be saved for planting should be heTd until after the rush of the ginning season, Kime added, so that the gin ner will have more time to clean up the gin. To keep the seed from getting mixed with other varieties at the gin, the seed roll should be dropped, the gin and conveyor pipes cleaned,, the floor swept, and the seed caugfit on the floor and bagged. Do not let the seed pass through th conveyor, Kime warned, as it is almost impossible to clean the con MBMIiMiaiili veyor of all seed left, from previous ginnings. If the quality of the. seed is good this year, he continued, it is advis able to save enough for two or three years. Next years crop may be badly weather damaged, but good seed hold over for several years will not deteriorate if stored properly. In fact, Kime pointed out, disease organisms which often are found on the seed will die in about two years, leaving the seed. fairly free from disease after it has been stored for at least two seasons. More than 4,000 acres of lespedeza are being. grown in Burke county this season, following introduction of the legume a few years ago. J 1 ???? i | DR. C. V.
