small increase supply of will be developed each year and LJJ supply planted on an isolated then the following year be to farmers Through the continuous selection 1 increase each year and by this selected seed on isolated j where there will be no danger Mr McNamara is sure we i a plentiful supply of 1 seed for ull the fanners in the Ike arrangements for the seed im- work were made at a ueline at the college attended by Mr Stockdale and Kent Tkt thing that remains to be done Jaw Is for the cotton growers of the to act upon their agreement at t meeting in the temple of to the growing of locals only in this valley If the i bureau and the other cotton rowers will get behind this pent there is no question that the f of the cotton can be improved It U also true that if from to boles of high grade cotton of same kind are Ktd In this section it will attract who want that particular l and quality in large quantities I that will mean better price for B the cotton In order to secure and preserve a high grade strain of Acala coU it will be necessary that all liter cotton be eliminated the yt and that for a few years at aU volunteer cotton be fully chopped out Probably the t way to insure such improvement he for the farmers of the fey to organize a crop improvement which association would the county agent in securing on which might be planted the secured from the fields Seed grown in Bunted fields would bu pure and be distributed then to the i in the vicinity The crop im- association could draw up for ginning seed so as to it from mixing with other ind could fix the price for such wtd to valley farmers Crop im- associations of this kind s been very efficient in other uies ana with other crops as well The importance of these plans at once if they to be perfected is apparent U J that ninety per cent of cotton now being grown in the 13 Acala It will not take long mice that 100 per cent and with prospect of beginning seed im- at once it is possible to t nothing but
