216 Practical Farming 



By following this practice, year after year, the fanner 

 will soon have a variety suited to his conditions, and not 

 only this, but he will have a demand for the seed, for the 

 men who will take the proper care in the selection of seed 

 of any plant are always in the minority and the majority 

 of growers will always be looking for improved varieties 

 rather than improving them themselves. 



We therefore do not give a list of the varieties on the 

 market though so far as we have observed the variety 

 known as the King cotton has generally proved to be an 

 early and good variety. In addition to the selection of 

 the ideal plant it is well to select especially for the seed 

 patch the longest stapled bolls every year.
