Hie Iron and Br ah am Cowpeas Necessities Where Wilt and Root Knot Occur In all of the places visited in the wilt infested sections of the State we have found roofknot very prevalent. In f set ro t knot and cotton wilt seem to go hand in hand. Where one occurs the other is nearly always found. Either trouble is bad enough by itself, but where they both occur they (recently destroy whole crops of cotton and cowpeas. Root knot is caused by small mema* * ' ' V U 1 4-Ua. Loaes teei worms; wuicu uwu mo roots of the plants and irritate the tissue, causing enlargement of the points attacked. These enlargemeats vary in size from almost nothing to the size of . a pea and sometimes even larger. When cut open and examined under a microscope these knots are found to i he full of the tiny nematode worms. These live oyer the winter in the old roots and in the soil, and begin work again the next spring in the young roots. If the crops that they live on are kept off the land for several years, the nematodes are starved out. We get rid of the root knot then by rotation; i. e. we grow on the infested land only those crops on which the nematodes cannot live. Corn, oats, wheat, rye. Iron-cowpeas, peanuts and velvet beans are safe crops to use in snch rotation. S wect potatoes, cotton, cowpeas, tomatoes, okra, cucumbers, watermelons, beans, tobacco, and a number of other crops are subject to root knot and are not safe to plant on i infested land. J Wilt is caused by a parasitic fungus I' which grows in through the roots of | < the plants into the stems and plugs up the vessels which transport food 1 and water back and forth to the differ- 1 ent parts of the plant. When thes9 1 reesels are clogged up the plant wilts and die*. The fungus which causes the trouble live in the soil and will re- j main alive for a number of years even when cotton and peas are left off the lands. The only -ray to control wilt is by the nse of r .sisfcant varieties, varieties which are almost wilt proof. The varieties of cotton which are resistant to wilt, however, are by no means free from root knot encourages J wilt because the fnrg.s which causes wilt easily enters the roots through r the wounds made by the nematode c worms. The first step then in con- j r trolling wilt is to get rid of the root! ? knot. t Now the odinary farm, practices j which are followed in this State tend to encourage both wilt and root knot. % In the fi.si place, the wilt which at- i ' tacks QOtton and peas is practically the s ime, and the root knot which is t common on cotton, peas, potatoes and ( tobacco is exactly the same. Oowpeas 1 which are used in every imaginable ro- c tation are subject to both of those v troubles which prove so disastrous to t oofcton, so where we use the common J varieties of cowpeas in our rotation I we are encouraging both of these dis- a eases. There are two varieties of cow- I peas, however, which are free from both root knot and wilt. These varieties are the Iron and the Brabham; and it a is with the view of calling attention J to these and emphasizing the necessity b for their more general use that this i) article is written. ^ The South Carolina farmer cannot f farm without cowpeas, yet where wilt e and root knot occur he cannot grow ^ the common varieties; and it is not safe for him to plant them even where they do make some growth, because they o encourage the same disease of cotton, t] mm lS' yy~ i X^d&Sr Dr. Woods Hutch f-. most brilliant writ says: "richness and freshness v Richness and F ' and vigor of circulation.

These varieties are quite generally grown in some sections of the State, but are still an- j known to many farmers who are badly in need of them. There is a great demand for pure seed of these varieties now, which demand is sure to increase; so it behooves all who have these varieties to plan to save all the seed possible. No other variety of cowpeas should be us 3d on any farm where wilt or root ki.ot occur. A good rotation to practice where wilt-, and root knot occur is to follow cotton with corn?planting Iron Brabham cowpeas, in the corn. Follow the corn with oats or wheat, then sow the stubbh in Iron or Brabham peas. After the peas, sow rye as a winter cover crop and plow it tinder before time to plant cotton the next spring. H. W.

Tuesday afternoon there was brought to Bamberg and lodged in jail a negro boy named Lee Jones, with the horrible crime of attempted assault upon a little white girl, sixteen years old,the daughter of a prominent farmer who lives n*ar town. The child is very small for her age, having been afflicted all of her life, The negro was brought to town by j the father of the child; which slio*s J a respect for law and that he wa3 willing to let the fiend be dealt with according to law. Some time Tuesday the child start ed to go to a neighbors house, and she had to pas9 through a small patch of woods on the way. While passing through the woods the negro attacked her, but her screams and resistance frightened him away an.1 lie did not succeed in accomplishing his foul purpose. The girl made a vigorous de- 1 fense, and in the struggle she was not hurt but badly excited and her nerves upset. As soon as the negro fled she returned home and told her parents, j she recognizing the negro, and he was soon ^rested at his plow in the field, which he had left to attack the child The negro worked on the plantation of this gentleman, and had been fed ' from his table. At first harsh measures were advocated, but the mother of the child pleaded that her husband ^ not stain his hands with the blood of the brute, and finally the negro was brought to Bamberg by the father and 1 burned over to the authorities. It is said that he confessed to the crime as soon as he was arrested, and he will no doubt meet the death penalty for his crime. _ ?

Dot the jokes j on the political stumps don't count. 1 A little romance in a mac goes a heap further with a woman than wisdom. A mau feels about being a good example just the way a boy does about wearing curls. Nobody will listen to advice for which he doesn't have to pay as professional opinion. Nobody forgets to drive a nail in his own coffin lid ever so often, but nobody remembers there is only so much room for them. A woman never gets so indignant with anybody in an argument that she can't get much more indignant with a peace maker who steps in. One per cent of men are somewhat popular, but the whole 100 per cent. think they are strongly so. A man's family keeps hira from putting lots of his money into bad investments by spending it for him.
