COTTON SEED FOR PUNTING
There Are Several Varletiee For ;
Infected Lands Bui Beat ,y

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.

Some of (he most destructive potato

into storage In the fall, where these

ing the winter, producing serious
losses If need potatoes for bedding

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.

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:

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.
