COTTON SEED FOR PUNTING SH
i
There Are Several Varieties For Dial
Infected Lands But Best
Is the Dixie.
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 ^

'right kind of seed. j

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<
