HELP SAVE MILLION DOLLARS Clemson College, Sept. 30.?"Reports received thus far indicate that cotton anthrasnose, the fungus boll rot of cotton, is even more widespread and destructive this season than heretofore," says Director H. W. Rarre. of the South Carolina Ex periment Station. "During the past ten years the disease has caused an annual loss of more than a million dollars in South Carolina. The disease sems to be becoming more destructive from year to year, in spite of the fact that the investigations conducted at the South Carolina Experiment Station show that it can be prevented. ''We have found that the fungus which causes anthracnose grows into the inside of the diseased bolls, attacks the lint anjl seed, and grows into the seed. The fungus remains alive in such seed until they are planted and germinate ana start 101 grow; then it attacks the seedlings. The disease remains alive on these stalks and attacks the bolls when they appear. In this way it is carried in the seed and continues to spread from year to year." There is no way of curing a stalk of cotton after it once has anthracnose. The only thing that can be|! don* is to protect the cotton next/ year. The first and most important!] step in this is to secure seed which j3 ace free from disease. It is best to/ ' 1 secure seed for next year's planting, from a field where ther is no dis- { ease. If this is not possible, the next ' best thing is to pick cotton for seed ' from stalks which show no signs of j disease and which are not near dis- 1 eased stalks. It is not safe to pick ! healthy looking bolls from stalks ] which have rotten bolls on them. FARMERS MUST FIGHT !, FOR FAIR PRICES < There is much complaint relative', to the high cost fo living in .towns , and cities.

The farmer and his family toil long hours and know little of the comforts and conveniences enjoyed by the town and city man's family, ind seldom complain. \ The world seems to begrudge the farmer a decent living. He sells for 35 cents a pound of cotton which is Manufactured into cotton goods that sells for $5 or more.
