Careful Seed Selection.
Terrell, Feb. 27.—Farmers of
this section a're exercising more
care in cotton seed selection this
year than ever before. Two cullers
are in operation in this city, sep-
arating the inferior seed from that
which is best adapted to planting.
One incentive to this step is the
fact that a large number of fa’rm-
ers of this community have en-
tered into the cotton raising con-
test promoted by the Terrell
Chamber of Commerce this year,,
in which cash prizes will be award-
ed to farmers producing the most
