By County Agent As
One Means
Stephens County cotton produc-

by treating their cottonseed licfoie

Agent.
In support of this statement he
points to a four-year test at the
Temple Experiment sub-stat'.on,
which showed that nearly twice as
much treated cottonseed germinat-
ed as did untreated seed. Further-
more, there was 40 percent angular
leaf spot infection on seedlings
from untreated seed as compared
with six percent from treated
seed. Also, there was more loss
from damping-off and soreshin
from untreated seed.
"These factors cause a poor
stand and lower yields."
Translated into dollars and
ccnts, the county agent continues,
the greatest four year average,
yield at the Temple station — 713
pounds of seed cottonan acre —
was grown from seed treated with
new improved ceresan. Untreated

THE OLD HITCHING POST
By Claude Miller
I
In the early days at Breckenridgc
Near the lands of Hubb&rd Creek
In front of Black's old general
store
Where candidates stopped to
speak,
Somebody built a hitching post
Where cowmen swung their reins.
And there it stood for years and
years-
Yes, it served as a trade exchange!
But she stood like the Rock ol
Ages
And it seemed just u little bit
queer
That old .ettlers remember fond
ly
And oven sometimes boast
How they skinned some smart
hoss trader
Round thai oid-time hitching posl.
Now the dollar pitching days arc
gone
Twixt the old post and the store,
And the cement highways blcndeo
in
Where the gasoline wagons roar.
The horseshoe "stobs" are long,
long gone.
