Fix 1920 Cotton

Raleigh—It is not time to plont (

There is probably no better an- j

purposes than David R. Coker, of
Hartsville, S. C , according to Mr.
Blalock, who writes as follows ton-1
cerning cotton seed:
“Seed from the damp cotton that!
is now being picked contains an
excess amount of moisture and cm
not be Used for planting purposes
next spring unless they are very
carefully nandled. If the seed cot
ton heats before ginned, of course
the seed are ruined; but if there
is some excess moisture in the sc d
and heating has not taken place,
they can be saved by sacking in
small bags and setting on end one
bag in a place. The bags should
be shifted every day or two until
the seeds areUmjoughly dry. Ah

should be carefully examined im
mediately after ginning and should
not be stored in bulk unless they
are perfectly dry and will rattle
when shaken. Planting seed should
be carefully examined before plant
ing and if there is any doubt, of
their soundness, germination tesU
should be made. The losses from
planting seed for low germination
have been very great during the
past year and this is a loss which
is easily avoided by proper atten
tion to the handling of the seed,
and re-examination before planting.
“Cotton growing in the eastern
belt has gotten to be an industry
which yields no profits to ary ex

preparation, fertilization and cul
ture narrow, good ginning and
bailing and, last but not least,
scientific marketing of the product,
are essential to the most profitable
production.”

American history began with the
' landing of Columbus, in the New
World, October 12. 1492.
Two decisive events of the Revo
lution occurred in October, both
favorable to the patriots. First was
the victory at Saratoga followed
by Burgoyne’s surrender and the
winning of the French to the Am
! erican cause. Second was Cornwal
lis’ surrender at Yorktown ending
’.lie war.
The Americans won two brilliant
naval engfgements in October in
the War 1812; the U. S. “Wasp” de
feating the British "Frolic" and the
U. S. Frigate “United States”

I One cf the greatest calamities in
our history, the great Chief, go fire,
occurred in October, 1871,
American troops in the world wrar
i raptured their first prisoners in
I October, 1917, and one year later
won their brilliant, victory in th<
Argonne forest.
John Brown's historic raid on

OPERATING hundreds of trucks ourselves, we know wha»
a big pail tire costs play in operating expense. And
what it adds to net profits for any truck owner when he can
save up to $60 per truck, at the very start, by equipping with
Extra-Heavy-Service RIVERSIDES. Besides, he knows that
each lire is guaftTntced to deliver normal road-service of
14,000 miles!.. .The big reason these RIVERSIDES for trucks '
permit such a generous guarantee is that they're specially
designed to resist heat-w hh cable-wound, long staple cords
and extra amounts of rubber between the plies. Heavy side
ribs also enable them to resist rut-wear, and reinforced beads
give greater strength.
Tire expense cut $10 to $60 at the start; tire upkeep re
duced to a minimum; normal road service guaranteed for
14,000 miles-all these protect profits for you, the moment
you equip your trucks with Extra-Heavy-ijervice RIVERSIDES. ' »
