Hrown rot of ptMi'li and^plum is one of the most widespread and destructive discuses of fruit that we have to contend with In many cases the" entire crop is do Btroyed just as the fruit begins to ripen. Practically every orchard in South Carolina is Infected with it and while it is widespread and very de atructlve, it is at the same time easy to control, according to Director H. W, Burro, of the South Carolina Bx periment Station, by spraying with lime-sulfur. There are numerous ^commercial brands of lime-sulfur on the market and some of these have been tested by cateful experimenters and fouud to be rery satisfactory. The ordinary commercial lime-sulfur solution has been used at the rate of one part to eighty parts of water with fair success. 1*his mixture will control brown rot. Some times, however, and under certain conditions of temperature and humid ity, it destroys a certain percentage of the foliage. The safeBt and best mixture to usq is the home-made self boiled lime-aulfur mixture, made as follows: Use 8 lbs. of fresh quick lime and 8 lbs. of sulfur (flour )to 60 gals, of water. Make this up by plac ing the eight pounds, of fresh lime in a tub or barrel and add Just enough water to slake It. An excess of water seems to drown the lime and retards the slaking process* As soon as the lime begins to crumble apart and a violent boiling is sot up, add eiglit pounds of sulfur and stir in thorough ly, adding enough water to keep any part Of the mixture from becoming dry or burning. Keep this well stirred and allow the boiling to continue for B to 1Q minutes. Special care should be exercised at this time to keep any part of the mixture from becoming dry. Enough water should be added, in fact, so that the paste is, thin enoiigh to be easily stirred. After the boiling has continued 5 to 10 minutes onoug^i water sholud be added to cool the mixture. The trees should be sprayed two to three weeks after the shucks drop, and again at intervals of from two to four weeks until the fruit begins to ripen. OATJJMTJT. Easy Control Measures Prevent Qreat Loss. Clemson College. ? Oat Smut is the moBt widespread and destructive dis ease of small grain. It frequently oc curs as a serious disease wherever oats are grown if proper control meas ures are not practiced. : This disease alone reduces the production of oats in this State by at least 10 per cent, and in some fields there are losses as high as 50 per cent, which can easily be^ffrevenled by inexpensive seed treatment, says J. L. Seal, Extension Service plant pathologist /This disease is caused by a fungus /which grows within the the tissues of the plant. The spores germinate abopt the same time that the young oat plants come up, and the filaments of the fungus remain alive in the oat plants without apparently causing any serious damage until the plants begin, to head in the spring. It then con* contrates its efforts in the oat heads and. fills up the places where the grains should form.', with the black, sooty masses of its spores. As these masses <Sf spores break up,, they are scattered by the wind' to all parts of the field. Many of them lodge on healthy heads of oats in* the field, while others are infested in the thresh ing operation; but in both cases the spores remain alive on the grain until planted in the fall. Seed for planting should not be ?aved from Aelds that show oyer t to 5 per cent of smutted heads, and In that case the seed should be treated. Even if a field is practically free of smuts and there are smutty fields near it, the seed should be treated. In fact, the material for seed treat ment is so inexpensive that there Js no reason why all grain seed to be planted should not be treated before hand. ?

Clemson College. ? This disease Is comparatively new, but It causes a serious loss of melons- In transit. There was a loss of 2,500 carloads of melons shipped from the southeast ern states last summer, due entirely to this disease. It is seldom found In the field and the shipper is often as tonished that 40 to 60 per cent of his melons rotted in transit, when at the time of shipping they are apparently in good condition. The stem-end rot fungus Is common on ripe or dying vegetation In an<f around melon fields, especially on cotton and corn stalks and old melon vines. -??'These become covered with black frnltlng bodies of the fungus 4n which countless spores are borne Afcd from which they are scattered by the wind. When a melon Is cut from the vine, a drop of sap exudes from the cnt stem and provides Ideal conditions for infection. The knives and handa of workmen are often carriers of In fection, and thjjs? * perfectly healthy melons nifTy become diseased. A good stockman mast be a suc oessful prodflfMT of feeds.
