During tho past two years there seems to have been a gradual increase in the j amount of damage or rotten corn in the ' fields throughout the state. Investigations started last fall and continued- this summer shows that the large majority of this trouble is due to a fungus disease known as dry rot or ear rot of corn. In one lielil recently investigated in Darlington County we found 2U per cent of the ears destro yed by this diseaso. Reports have come in from other sections showing that the disease is wide-spread and is causing considerable damage. Now any disease that injures our corn crop is of vital interest, and every farmer should know enough about such a disease to enable him to recognize it when lie conies in contact with it, and to enable him to combat it where it causes loss. It is hoped that at least a part of such knowledge will be gained from this article. Symptoms of the disease are very char actensile. Ai uie ume mo corn uegins u> ripen, the husks on the diseased ears turn prematurely yellow. Later, they assure a mottled or blackish appearance and seems to stick very close to the ears. When the husks are pulled back from such ears the grains will be found to be shriveled and immature and the ear will be noticeably decreased in weight. Later, the grains appear very brittle and frequently assume a brownish color. At this stage the whole ear is usually overrun with a white looking mold. When the diseased ears aro broken acress, small black fruiting bodies of the fungus will bo found on the tips of the grains and in the cob. This rot is caused by a parasitic fungus, Diplodea maydis. Studies of the life history of the fungus recently made at the Nebraska and Illinois Experiment Stations show that the fungus lives over winter on the diseased ears and stalks which are left in the field. 11 spreads from these to the new corn the following season at the corn is in silk and tassel. The infection takes place through the silks. If the weather conditions are favorable for the development of the fungus at this stage the diseaso spreads very rapidly. At the Illinois Station the fungus has been found to live on the old corn stalks in the field for two years, and in some cases for three years. They recommend that the corn stalks be removed from the field and destroyed and that a rotation be practiced which will keep corn off the land for two years. It seems that such measures would eliminate the disease. 1' have in mind one case in this state, however, where where the disease has done considerable damage in the face of such rotation, so it seems tnat some runner uaia are ueeueu before we can give definite measures for controlling the disease. In this connection it is well to keep in mind the fact that removing the corn stalks from the field eliminates one of the principal sources of infection for the next season, his emphasizes the advantage to be gained by cutting and shredding the corn. As 6tated however, we need more data which will apply to southern methods and conditions. In order to secure such information, we need co-operation. We are pushing this investigation now and are asking that every ono who has the disease in his field will write us about it and send us specimens. We have on hand a uumber of franked tags which will bring specimens through the mail|free, and we will be glad to send these to anyone desiring to send such specimens. Where cases seem to warrant it, wo will be glad to visit fields where the disease is causing trouble and look into the conditions prevailing there. n. w. uarre, x>uuimtji/, S. C. Experiment Station.

There will be a treat seldom in store for the amusement going public when the "Mighty Haag Shows" exhibit at Abbeville on October 15th. The program this year has been so i arranged as to please everybody, being one of the greatest list of features ever offered by any amusement purveyor. E. Haag, proprietor of the Mighty Haag Shows, was successful in securing the .i celebrated aviator, Mons. Di' Pauhlam, as one of the features, also securing one of tlra rarest animals known to animaldom, 4 "The Hippotragus Equlnius" which today is almost extinct; when added to his large zoological collection will make It second to none. These two features are alone worth the price of admission and with other amusement enterprises would be the crowning feature, while with the Mighty Haag it is only one of the many features offered by the big Southern Circus. ThA Rftftl of annroval has been Dlaced s upon the Mighty Haag Shows by the j amusement going public of the entire South. While the thrilling aerial and arenic .^8 acts as well as sensational equestrianism and hippodrome track events are absolutely essential to all big tented shows. their performances would fall flat were it not for the clowns. Primarily the majority of show going enthusiasts, not to mention the small boys and girls, visit the canvas cities to be amused and the salaried jesters must see to it that none are disappointed. Realizing that a goodly share of tbe success of the entertainment depends upon the funsters, the mighty Haag Shows, which give afternoon and evening performances October 15th. in .Abbeville engaged for this season as un- ) pai ailed u quota of world-famous clowns . 1 as money can hire. There Is a veritable army of those Jolly fellows, whose sole work is to provide wholesome laughs and amusement for ail classes and all ages. From the time the main tent doors are open, which is an hour before the first act enters the rings, until the end of the program, the great hippodrome track swarms with hariequines, and mirth reigns fast and furious. The Katzanyammer Kids, Buster Brown, Simple Simon, and the Biliiken, those together with all the other comic supplement characters are there, as well as more than a score of others. If you do not wish to enjoy hale and hearty jollity, it will be advisable to remain away from the mighty Haag Shows. On the other hand if you are suffering from an attack of the blues, a certain and permanent cure is assured if you attend the nArfr.rmftnnfl. LOWNDESVILLE. | ? Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Barnes and Messrs.

According to a sometime announcement, the Alkahest Lyceum System of Atlanta, Ga. was represented in the High School Building in this place Friday at 8 p. m. by Mr. Ralph Bingham, by what he termed, not a lecture, but an "intellectual diversion." The crowd present filled the building and would have been much larger but for the bad weather, rainy and quite cool. He is a "Personator; Humorist; Violinist, Racountear;" and out of them all never fails to please a mixed audience.
