Co., Oct. 20, 1915,.the following resolution
was offered and adopted relative
to the memory of Mr. R. C.
Brownlee, a Director, who died June
23rd, 1915.
Whereas, God in His inscrutable
Providence has removed from our
midst Mr. R. C. Brownlee, who has
been a Director in this Mill since
May 3rd, 1898, and a strong supporter
and wise counsellor up to the time
of his death.
Whereas, It was our privilege to
be associated with him and thereby
knew his untiring and devoted interest
therein and the value of his wise
counsel, and desiring to give expression
to our sorrow* and the great loss'
we have suffered, Now, Therefore,
be is Resolved, that in the death of
Mr. R. C. Brownlee, the Mills Manufacturing
Co., and the State of
South Carolina have lost a valuable
citizen and efficient and faithful
fvionrl wIiaca nricA OAiincnl or>rl rrari
V* Uvov ?? lOV/ VVUIIOVl MliU g,Viiial
disposition will be a great loss to
all.
Resolved, That a page in our minute
book be dedicated to his memory
and that a copy of these Resolutions
be sent to his family and also published
in the Daily papers.
CONTROL ROOT-KNOT NOW.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 23.?The
root-knot disease of cotton and other
crops has been causing unusually
heavy losses in the South this season,
much of which could have been prevented.
and the infestation will be
carried over to next season unless
control measures are adopted.
The Department of Agriculture
states that this pest, which is one ot
the most dangerous in the list, can
be controlled by crop rotation, and
that f- beginning should be made this
fall, by sowing winter rye, on infested
fields.
An Insidious Disease.
Many farmers who have attributed
their meager harvests to bad weather,
lack of fertilizer or poor soil, may
find, on examining the roots, that
they are covered with swellings or
galls of varying sizes, caused by the
minute eelworms or nematodes that
are becoming so common in sandy
soil. These little parasites are frequently
introduced on plants of figs,
peaches, grapes, etc., or on soil from
infested fields, and multiply rapidly

on a great variety of crops. Severely
diseased plants either die or are
(distinctly stunted with a sickly, yellowish
erreen color on both leaves and
stems.
Control By Starving Out.
The most satisfactory method of
controlling root-knot of cotton and
other field crops is one in which infested
fields can be planted for a
period of years to crops resistant to
I the disease, and, at the same time,
kept free of all susceptible weeds. In
this way thenumber of nematodes can
be greatly reduced, if not eliminated;
for it has been* found that they entirely
succumb within two years when
the soil is kept free from the kinds of
'vegetables on which they live.
The farmer may choose from the
following list of crops immune or reisistant
to root-knot those best suited
i i i ' i- t j
, to ms neeas; Dariey, oeggarweea,
Brabham cowpea, broom-corn millet,
;corn, Crab grass, Iron cowpea, pea!
nut, pearl millet, rye, sorghum, velvet
wheat and winter oats. The
above are safe on infested land, but
I the following crops susceptible to
Iroot-knot must be avoided; alfalfa,
.asparagus, beans, beets, canteloupes,
celery, clover, cotton, oowpeas, (all
[except Iron and Brabham), cucumjbers,
figs, Irish potatoes, mulberries,
I okra, peaches, soy beans, sugar cane,
swe^t potatoes, tobacco, tomatoes,
vetch and watermelons.
In addition to these plants, most
common weeds are attacked by the
nematodes, and, if for rid other reason,
should therefore be kept from
! fidlds in which it is desired to elimi'nate
eelworms.

But what's the use of telling this,
You'll see her at the fair.

As fine as fine can be,

"COTTON-TOTS" AS GAMBLERS
* Z . ..
The Manufacturers Record.
Cotton growing as the chief industry"of*
the' South' is- as unsafe, 'jcomared
with general diversified agriculture,
as is speculating in Wall Street
as compared with the legitimate business
interests of the country.
A few merf may grow rich on, Wall
Street sepculation, but the mijWity
who plunge on Wall Street sooner or
later plunge downward.
The bankers and the brokers are
the middlemen who take the toll and
reap the harvest, making their profit
on the buyer and the seller of Wall
Street securities.
The man who buys through a Wall
Stfeet broker pays his toll or commission,
and, perchance, he sells on the
same day or the next day, and pays
another toll or commission, and the
banker or the broker wins on both
sides, whether the speculator loses or
wins.
The same condition applies to the
South in cotton. The all-cotton grower,
or the "cotton-tot," pays a toll
to the fertilizer man, to the moneylender,
to the merchant?on everything
he buys or borrows?and then
when he sells his product, whether he
makes or loses, he pays a toll for the
handling of it, and the middlemen
win in both cases.
And the middlemen are entitled to
win in both cases so long as the spec- J
jlator takes his chances in Wall |
Street and so long as the "cottontot"
takes his chances in speculating
in cotton growing, and when the latter
concentrates his attention on cotton
to the exclusion of foodstuffs he
s as much a speculative plunger as
the wilder gambler in Wall Street.
