PREVENTING COTT Nearly every farmer who has grown many varieties of cotton has at one time or another suffered serious losses from the fungus boll rot known as mnthracac^ Anfhracnose le widespread and very destructive. It sometimes destroys all the bolls on a stalk and frequently dee troys half the bolls In a field. It attacks the seedlings after they have come up and in this Stage frequently destroys the stand bt cotton. It attacks bolls when they have began to develop and usually appears on bolls that are from two-thirds to Chree-fonrths grown as small brown or pink spots.' Where such Bpots occur on the surface of the boll, the seed and lint of the Inside are usually found discolored and rotten. The disease enters the seed of slightly diseased bolls and when such seed are planted the following spring anthracnose develops and attacks the young plants that the seed produce. In this way Is anthracnose carried from field to field and farm to farm. The anthracnose fungus lives in old diseased bolls and stalks In the field for about flfteea months.

A Russian's Effort to Lose Himself By EUNICE BLAKE Peter Trolenco was a member of one of those circles that sprang up iu Russia some forty years ago when nihilism was first heard of. Tliey took their * "-I- 1 1 ..I? nt-lrwilnla name uvm rneir uuuci^nib |mui.ip?v that nothing In government which existed should continue. The Latin word for "nothing" is nihil. There was great secrecy In those circles, the members of one circle being completely Ignorant of those In anotbk sr. FitBT ttllflff&kkl that aiBelW circles worked in harmony through their dilefB, but beyond this he hud no Information whatever. And yet St Petersburg (now Petrograd). where he lived, was full of nihilists. Peter was young, and there was something captivating in all this mystery. But one night there came to him t terrible awakening. Lots were drawn to decide which one of the circle should assassinate the chief of police, and Peter drew the fatal paper, on which had been sketched a dagger, all the rest being blanks. All we romance mrenuing iue secret meetings, the disguises, the many ingenious plans of the propaganda of nihilism. shriveled before tills terrible deed which Peter was required to commit and from which there was no escape. He might tlee to the ends of the earth, but would never know when ome one, possibly bis best friend, would strike him. To add to his horror, he loved a young girl, to whom he was expecting to be married. Nina DimltrlelT was at the time preparing her trousseau. Peter feared that his misfortuue. which, in any event would break their betrothal, would kill her. He spent a long while in making up his mind what to do and finally decided upon flight He would leave Russia disguised and go to a land where he would be lost to the world. But what action should he take in reference to his betrothed? After weighing the matter, dreading the shock he would cause her by telling her what had happened, he decided to disappear from her as mysteriously as from others. He would confide only in his mother. A few days after he had drawn the dagger he began a Journey to the bor oer. uisguisea as a Deggar, ne.traveiea by night and begged by day in the towns through which he passed. What money he took with him, added to what be received from charity, enabled him ' to reach Genoa and take passage for America. For Ave years the fugitive kept changing his residence, avoiding the large- cities so far as possible, thinking to lose himself more effectively Id the country. But whenever be came near a Russian he moved on. He dared not write to bis mother for fejir his letters would be intercepted, but before leaving Russia he had laid a plan 1 for communicating with her at long intervals. Finally he received word from ] her that a friend of his in the circle to i which he belonged had Informed her. at the risk of hl3 life, that an emissary , had been sent to assassinate him. One day Peter appeared In a small town In Missouri to receive a communication expected from" his mother. ' What was bis astonishment to see 1 walking on the main street Nina Dlmi-1 ( rrru . j ui? n 1 -t uieu. iue bigut biuggereu mill, luuiu It be possible that the girl he loved had been Bent out to kill him? He banished the thought and ran toward her. Beelng him, she gave him a meaning glance, and passed on. 1 ON ANTHRACNOSE ' stalks are plowed under In November, the fungus does not live longer than six or eight months. When fall plow* lng and rotations are practised the disease can readily be eliminated pro* vided dlsease-frei seed are ueed when cotton Is again planted on the land. Seed free from the disease Bhould always be used for planting. It Is best to get these from a Held where there la no anthracnoee, but If this is impossible, seed should be selected from stalks which are free from disease and which are not near diseased stalks. Anthracnose can also be spread at the gin and care should be taken In ginning seed for next year's planting. If the gin haB previously been used to gin diseased cotton, it should be thoroughly cleaned out. Anthracnose can be prevented entirely by crop rotation and careful selection of seed. Now Is the time to make your seed selections and to plan your rotation with a view to getting rid of this destructive disease. H. W. BARRE, Botanist, Clemson Agricultural College.
