Our cotton crop can be materially g, Increased during the present emer- jjgg gency by preventing the enormous jnto losses caused each year by diseases. ; ^iee Our two most common cotton diseases jnK are wilt and anthracnose; these two ' ioss diseases caus-j a loss of from $2,000,- are 000 t. $ .'*00/ 00 a year in South Caro- jn ^ llna. This less can be in a larga cart measure pre\ented by the use of the Cf t 'right kind of seed. j .? uio vcvoiki Tsnruei 01 cot- (JJU1 ton aat are resistant to cotton wilt Qf and will produce excellent yields when frOT planted on land infected with this die- Qf ease The best of these is the Dixie, d(8E which has been grown and bred for a jn ( number of years in co-operation with Clemson College and the United States a M Department oT Agriculture. This seed (hoi 'can be had from the breeders and aR growers in the counties where wilt is p0j, causing serious loss. The Botany Division of Clemson College will be glad ^j,-) to put any one who needs seed in wa( touch with these growers. p Cotton anthracnose?(boll rot)? abC causes probably a greater loss in < nf South Carolina every year than cotton cov wilt does. Anthracnose can be con- j tr#?. trolled by securing seed which are free from disease and planting these fou on land that has not been in cotton j ,.ff, Tor one year. The beat way to secure ' e need free from disease is to get them ' from fields where there was no an- j j thracnose. We have found that the I<>n fungus which causes this disease will ^ not remain alive in the seed for more than two or three years, so that old j seed are mnch better for planting purposes than seed of previous season. ^ In order to help in reducing the loss j from cotton anthracnose, the Botany Division of the South Carolina Rxperi- ^ ment Station is making preparation to test any seed that the farmers of the state will send in. in order to dedter- ^ mine whether or not the seed is in- ? fected with this disease. We desire especially to test seed that are two and th(?e years old. Any one. who ^ "has old seed, or any one who is buying seed that he is not sure is free' * [from disease, can send samples of | t^11 these seed to the Experiment Station ,ea at Clemson College and have them to [tested It will take from two to three weeks to make a complete test. A i pint of need is necessary for these th< i teste. mi ya j It is impossible to impress upon any- an one that there is dignity in residing soi jnpon a farm with impoverished soil, mi 'dilapidated buildings, and an environ- j of ' nent of ignorance. | Be timtOhjagi.-. - .vw ^ - IT" t ?-?*? i OF THE SOUTH kpposed that dairying, aa wall aa was an industry peculiar to the Carolina tanner could not make a e farmers who read (arm papers -da of milk and butter tram the av? refused to behave that a cow g that will aver convince such close to home that has actually Bade elsewhere.
