COTTON SEED FOR PUNTING There Are Several Varletiee For ; Infected Lands Bui Beat ,y la the Dixie, $>. bur 'cotton crop tea l?a aaaterlall^ increased during the present. emer gency by provtmtliig the oaormoui losses caused each year by diseases. Our two most common cotton diaeasei are wilt and anthrarnose; these two (liseaseu i mis'* u loee of from 12.000, 000 to $ .^00,(00 a year la Houtb Caro lina. This lose can bo in a largj' measure prevented by the use of t^i* right kind of seed. There are several varieties of cot ! too that are resistant to cotton wilt j and will produce excellent yields when planted on land infected with this dis ease The best of these is the Dixie, which has been grown and bred for n number of years In co-operation with Clemson College and the United States Department ot Agriculture. This seed can be had from the breeders and growors in the counties where wil.t is causing serious loss. The Botany Di vision of Clemson College will be glad to put any one who needn seed In touch with these growers. Cotton anthracnoso ? (boll rot) ? causes probably a greater loss In South Carolina every year than cotto'i \y I It does. Anthracnoso can be con trolled by securing seed which are free from diseuae and planting these on land that has not been in cotton for one year. The best way to secure seed free from disease is to get them from Holds where there was no an I thracnose. We have found that the fungus which causes this disease will not remain alive In the seed for more than two or three years, so that old seed are much better for planting pur poses than seed of previous season. In order to help in reducing the losa from cotton anthracnose, the Botany Division of the South Carolina Experi ment Station is making preparation to test any seed that the farmers of the state will send in. In order to dedter tnJne whether or not thf seed la in fected with this disease. We desire especially to test seed that ar? two and thepe years old. Aay one. who has old seed, or any one who is buy ing seed that he Is not sure is free from disease, can send samples of these seed to the Experiment Station at Clemson College and have them tested. It will take from two to three weeks to make a complete teat. A pint of seed is necessary for tbaaa tests. . . It is impossible to impress upon any one that there is dignity In residing upon a farm with impoverished soil, dilapidated buildings, and an environ ment of Ignorance. SHOULD TREAT SWEET POTATO Disinfect by Immtrting In ? Solu tion of Corrosive Sublimate. Some of (he most destructive potato disease* are carried from the fleld into storage In the fall, where these disease* not only live but thrive dur ing the winter, producing serious losses If need potatoes for bedding ?re not carefully selected and bedded In disease free soil these disease* are carried bar', o thy tlelt. on the roou of the slips or sprouts. In the spring carefully select m* dltim ki^e potatoes, that show no sign* of rots, anil disinfect by immersing from Ave to ten minutes In a solution of corrosive suhllmate prepared by dissolving one ounce of the cryilalf In eight gallons of water. The above solution should be prepared only In a wooden container, which should b( thoroiiKhly cleaned after being lined, ?h <-orro?ive sublimate Is a deadlv poison, and should bo timed only with the greatest r are. Heed, after being disinfected, should be rinsed In puiv water and dried or bedded at once. Probably the bent container for the above solution is u barrel, and enough of the solution nhould be put In it to cover the quantity of potatoes to bo treated each time. One solution should not be used more than three or four times us it loses its Strength and effeol iveness upon repeated use As potato diseases often live ore* winter in the soil, It Is essential thn! only fresh soil should be used in pr?> paftng the beds. Woods earth, fro? from undecayed leaves and twigs, makes an exceptionally good bedding soil. Sand Is often used and is Just aH good provided It is clean and free ?from the potato disease organisms In case you have a permanent bed. never bed your potatoes in the ol 1 soil. Disinfect the framework bv spraying with a solution prepared by adding one pint of formalin to thirty gallons of water* In case you have on hand some winter strength lime-i*ul phur solution It can be used, witn even better results; and dome use a white wash to good advantage. Select for your potato patch a fleld that has not had potatoes on It, for at least three years, and you way expect to harvest a crop free from disease. It has been observed for years that the sons of small farmers develop managing ability. Prom their earliest years they are compelled to do thfngs and to act intelligently. It Is from this source that the greatest number of managers of the various enterprises of our country have bees drawn. ? Dr. Seaman A.

Baruch-Nettles Co. .'>nr f CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA ?" </ THE LEADING JERSEY OF THE SOUTH Farmers of the South have long n apposed that dairying, as wail as other branches of livestock farming, was an industry peculiar to the North and West, and that the South Carolina farmer oould net make a tuccess at this kind of farming. Those farmers who read farm papers have seen the reports of the big records of milk and butter from the dairy states, and in nearly every case have refused to believe that a cow made any such record. The only thing that will ever convince such "Doubting Thomases" is to see a cow close to home that has actually made a record comparable with any made elsewhere. That opportunity is now open to any farmer who cares enough to go to see a South Carolina cow that has just finished a record that places her (n the class with the world's record butter-producing Jersey cows. This cow, Blue Fox's Eminent Chromo 317736, was bred and owned by J. A. Shanklln, Manager, Taylor's Farm, Columbia, S. C. She was fed largely on South Carolina feeds such as cottonseed meal, wheat bran, peanut meal, corn meal, soy bean meal, corn Bllage, and hay. She was milked three times a day, and needless to say, had the very beet care and attention that it was possible to give her. Starting on a year's test on January 19th, 1917, and finishing January 12th, 1918, this cow produced 17,817.6 pounds of milk and 1023.6 pounds of butter. This reoord both for milk and butter exceeds the record of any cow of any breed tei the South and places Chromo In the first twenty cows of the breed. Chromo is a big cow. She weighs about 1000 pounds and looks the part of a champion. She is a very gentle cow and devoted to the man who fed and milked her while om test. Chromo is a daughter of Blue Fox's Eminent, 77687, a half brother of the famous show bull. Noble of Oakland*. Of the 240 head of Jerseys on the Taylor Farm, 100 ere daughters of this bull. Mr. Sheaklfcs now has 26 cows on test, and by the last of the year should have average records of more than 10,000 pounds of milk and 600 pounds of butter from the entire twenty-fire head. The following table will show the production of milk and butter fat per month for the year: : Milk FM January, 1917 (19 days) 888.9 88.41 ret??ai7. 1917.. 1817.7 fl.it March, / +*1917, 1871.8 16.06 April, 1917 1688.8 66.66 May, 1917 1849.1 - 84.86 June, 1917 1691.4 81.88 July, 1917 1681.4 91.72 Au*ust, 1917 1488.9 76.87 September, 1917 1884.8 *6.44 October, 1917 1886 8 ? 71.18 November, 1817 1167.7 69.91 December, MIT 1068.7 54.69 January, 1918 (12 days) 416.0 8848 17247.6 867.19 867.18 pounds of fat Are equal to 1088.6 pounds of butter, 86 per oent fat. The average butter tat test for the year was 6.04%. The cow was 8 years old when the test started. The test was supervised by tha Dairy Division of Clem son College under rules laid down by the American Jer sey Cattle Club. A tester was sent to the farm each month whs weighed the milk for two days and took careful samples which were tetsed far butter fat by the Babcock test. To get an idea of the value of soch a cow it is only necessary to saw that 17817.6 pounds of milk is equal to 2002 gallons of milk. This milk was sold for 60 cents per gallon wholesale, so that the prodaot sf this cow tor one yea* sold for 91.001.06, or an average of about $2 70 per day. ' The fact that this cow was bred and owned in South Carolina. and th* hv 4 Month Carolina farmer, should be convincing evi dence that cows can do as well in the 8outh~aiTTri~nT* dearth nr ?f given equally intelligent feeding ami attention. llcmiitHKe Cotton MIU News.
