i Mr. Q. Wolfe Holstein of Hamby
brought to' .the 25000 .club a stalk of'
bis Columbia variety of cotton that he
is experimenting with this season un-
der instructions from the agricultural
department This cotton was- planted'
June 5thj one rain .fell on July 15th
which was all the season it had
though a light shower fell on Aug. 20
and another Sept but' only 'sufficient
to lay the dust and noit enough to ben-
efit the plant In its. growth The Btalk
contains 77 bolls and as before stated
is the Columbia variety or what Is
known as Long-Staple' Up-Land Cot-
ton. The Obre. from the open bollson'
this stalk measure about' one and one-
i lialfInch. fc
' Concerning- this variety the depart-
ment of agriculture has the following
1 to say:
The following is a short statement of
1 the methods used In producing the ya-
! rlety. In the summer of 1902 a plant
of Russell Big-Boll cotton was grown
In connection with the writer's expe-
riments for the purpose of testing the
variety in comparison with other sorts
and making selections. Every plant
in the plat was. carefully examined
and the lint combed to determine Its
length The length of tho lint was
found to bo somowhat variable in gen-
eral being from 1 inch to 1 1-8 Inches
long. About halt a do?cn plants wore
found with lint nearly 1 1-4 inches
long hnd ono particularly good plant
hVd lint averaging about 1 3-4 Inches
In Iqngth.
Several of thQ best plant that had
long JInt wore? planted la 1003 by J.ho
plant-to-royr method an examination
of the roWB when the plants matur&l
.brought out tho fact that tho ono plant
.selected In 10022 that had lint 1 3-$
. ' inches long had reproduced its charuc-
tfr In marked degreo while the rows
' planted from the Apod of tho other
plants were only slightly better than
th ordinary rtitssell. cotton. Tho so-
' .lection .made In 1903 woro therefore
all taken from the .progeny of tula one
auiwrior plant. About 76 per fieit of
li tbM plants produced' llnt.l 1-4 inches
in lugti and alot twelya plants gavo
iat nearly I. Mfto.ch.aa lea. 8q4 watf
prerye4 qnly ifrm W twaiva best
plailta and. Umm ww plntad In an
Isolated plat in 1904 bythe plant to row
method. in 1904 sevoral of tho rows
of plants Were much below the stand-
ard set and only one of tho rows was
considered superior progeny in 1905
an Isolated patch t about 1 1-2 acres
was planted again by' tho plant-to-row
method. In this season the. varietyl 1906i n0W6ver this feature was made
had been reduced to practical fixity of
type and tho breeding patch was exr
ceptlonally fine and fairly' uniform. In
1905 some individual selections wore
made after which a- considerable num-
ber of- god second select plants 'wore
marked and saved for seed to plant a
multlplicatlpnpatch in 1906.
In. 1906 a multiplication patch of 14
acres was planted with the second seed
and it is the seod from this multiplica-
tion patch which Is being distributed
the present season. The 14-acre pro-
duced 25000 pourils of seed cotton and
7395 of lint or 18221. pounds of seed
cotton-and 528 pounds of lint to. tho
acre. The lint sold on the Columbia
market early in tho season at U3 cents
a pound. Had- it been sold in a longr
stnplo market later in the season it
would have brought a much higher
price..
Throughout tho selection the aim has
been to Bolect plants having tho Rus-
sell type of branching and boll so that
tho plant of tho Columbia Is scarcely
recognized as distinct from tho Ilus-
sell Tho very largo boll has nlso been
retained and tho vnrlety is in ovory
respect of true UplanJ typo aslde from
Its Ijnt character.
Tho truo RuBsell variety produces a
large seed covered with dark green
fuzz. This character Is very undoslr-
ablo owing to the discoloration of tho
lint If ginned while somewhat wet by
the pulling of0 of tho green fuzz and
also owing to the green cojor giving
undoslrablo llnters In the selection
therefore special attention has been
given to selctlng a white seed. Tho
groat majority of the plants of tho
Columbia now produe white seed but
this character has not aB' yet been en-
tirely fixed
While the varletx la now probably
one or 1119 uest long-siapio upiaou
sorts It requires to. be further Improv-
ed In some characters. Aa will be seen '
from an examination of the yields of
the 14-acre patch the lint turnout was
only 29 per cent In Increasing tho
length of lint there has been a. slight
loss In the percentage of .lint. The Rus-
sell variety however seldom averages
more than from 30 to 31 per cent ow-
ing to Its very large seed. Practically
speaking this can not be considered
a serious drawback to the variety If
tho yield of jlnt per acre holds up and
it is believed tbit the yield of lint per
acre will average as high as that of
ordinary short-Btdplo sorts grown un-
der the same conditions.
In tho selection of the variety up to
the present time little attention has
been given to Increasing the percen
tage of lint. In the selections made in
one pf the Important points. It. was
found that the different selections va-
ried In per centage of lint from 29 to
34 1-2. All of tho selections from ono
row of plants averaged from 32 to 34
per cent. It is therefore certain that'
the.'variety can. bo easily and greatly
improved in this character.
The writer has had considerable ex-
perience with tho long-staplo Upland
cotton having grown and tested practi-
cally all of tho known varieties. Con-
sidering all characters- ho believes tho
Columbia to bo ono of tho most prom-
ising varieties of this class of cotton.
Ho would strongly recommend growers
to glvo this cotton a thorough trial for
several years .being careful to select
tho seod for planting in accordance
with tho method suggested later on fn
this paper.
