BROWN JtOT IN FRUIT.
8av? Your Puohei and Plum* From
This Destructive Disease.
Clemsbn CollegW. ? Hrown rot of
ptMi'li and^plum is one of the most
widespread and destructive discuses
of fruit that we have to contend with
In many cases the" entire crop is do
Btroyed just as the fruit begins to
ripen. Practically every orchard in
South Carolina is Infected with it and
while it is widespread and very de
atructlve, it is at the same time easy
to control, according to Director H.
W, Burro, of the South Carolina Bx
periment Station, by spraying with
lime-sulfur.
There are numerous ^commercial
brands of lime-sulfur on the market
and some of these have been tested
by cateful experimenters and fouud
to be rery satisfactory. The ordinary
commercial lime-sulfur solution has
been used at the rate of one
part to eighty parts of water
with fair success. 1*his mixture
will control brown rot. Some
times, however, and under certain
conditions of temperature and humid
ity, it destroys a certain percentage
of the foliage. The safeBt and best
mixture to usq is the home-made self
boiled lime-aulfur mixture, made as
follows: Use 8 lbs. of fresh quick
lime and 8 lbs. of sulfur (flour )to 60
gals, of water. Make this up by plac
ing the eight pounds, of fresh lime in
a tub or barrel and add Just enough
water to slake It. An excess of water
seems to drown the lime and retards
the slaking process* As soon as the
lime begins to crumble apart and a
violent boiling is sot up, add eiglit
pounds of sulfur and stir in thorough
ly, adding enough water to keep any
part Of the mixture from becoming dry
or burning. Keep this well stirred
and allow the boiling to continue for
B to 1Q minutes. Special care should
be exercised at this time to keep any
part of the mixture from becoming
dry. Enough water should be added,
in fact, so that the paste is, thin
enoiigh to be easily stirred. After the
boiling has continued 5 to 10 minutes
onoug^i water sholud be added to cool
the mixture.
The trees should be sprayed two to
three weeks after the shucks drop,
and again at intervals of from two to
four weeks until the fruit begins to
ripen.

Easy Control Measures Prevent Qreat
Loss.
Clemson College. ? Oat Smut is the
moBt widespread and destructive dis
ease of small grain. It frequently oc
curs as a serious disease wherever
oats are grown if proper control meas
ures are not practiced. : This disease
alone reduces the production of oats
in this State by at least 10 per cent,
and in some fields there are losses as
high as 50 per cent, which can easily
be^ffrevenled by inexpensive seed
treatment, says J. L. Seal, Extension
Service plant pathologist
/This disease is caused by a fungus
/which grows within the the tissues of
the plant. The spores germinate
abopt the same time that the young
oat plants come up, and the filaments
of the fungus remain alive in the oat
plants without apparently causing any
serious damage until the plants begin,
to head in the spring. It then con*
contrates its efforts in the oat heads
and. fills up the places where the
grains should form.', with the black,
sooty masses of its spores.
As these masses <Sf spores break up,,
they are scattered by the wind' to all
parts of the field. Many of them lodge
on healthy heads of oats in* the field,
while others are infested in the thresh
ing operation; but in both cases the
spores remain alive on the grain until
planted in the fall.
Seed for planting should not be
?aved from Aelds that show oyer t to
5 per cent of smutted heads, and In
that case the seed should be treated.
Even if a field is practically free of
smuts and there are smutty fields
near it, the seed should be treated.
In fact, the material for seed treat
ment is so inexpensive that there Js
no reason why all grain seed to be
planted should not be treated before
hand. ?
If there is a neighbor in yonr com
?sAstty traaiflAjjH .fey*
fall, compare your field \|ith his anST
see If there is not money saved by
such a practice.
STEM-END ROT OF WATER
MELON.
Clemson College. ? This disease Is
comparatively new, but It causes a
serious loss of melons- In transit.
There was a loss of 2,500 carloads of
melons shipped from the southeast
ern states last summer, due entirely
to this disease. It is seldom found In
the field and the shipper is often as
tonished that 40 to 60 per cent of his
melons rotted in transit, when at the
time of shipping they are apparently
in good condition.
The stem-end rot fungus Is common
on ripe or dying vegetation In an<f
around melon fields, especially on
cotton and corn stalks and old melon
vines. -??'These become covered with
black frnltlng bodies of the fungus 4n
which countless spores are borne Afcd
from which they are scattered by the
wind. When a melon Is cut from the
vine, a drop of sap exudes from the
cnt stem and provides Ideal conditions
for infection. The knives and handa
of workmen are often carriers of In
fection, and thjjs? * perfectly healthy
melons nifTy become diseased.

A Goliath In the Kanks.
The ft/lowing is taken from the edi
torial columns of., the Boston Herald
of April 21 :
' Among the allied arm fees on the West
ern front thore unay have been soldiers
who were better drilled and more thor
oughly 'disciplined than the American
doughboy, but Dor sheer grit and ag
gVessive courage it is the unanimous tes
timony of both the, French aud British
authorities that our men ranked second {
to none. And if there is a mote con
spicious instance of daredevil gallantry
in the rankfl of any <anny than that of
the South Carolina private who raided a
machine gun potolt with * shovel and
came* bade to. 'his own lines, without a
scratch The Herald would like to know
of It. There is po fairy fiction about
this episode, moreover, for here 4s the
official citation :
- "P givatfa Hnnrj' Bofrce Huirt of Ohes
terfiold? 8. O., Company L, One Hun
dred and Eighteenth Infantry (A. 8.
No. 1312279) : For extraordinary hero
ism is 'action near Rami court, France,
October 8, 1918. While the 'advance of
his company wtarf being h&ld up by ter
rific machine gun fire from several en
emy nests, and -after . all the members
of his squad had become casualties, Pri
vate Hunt made his way forward with
his automatic rifle.. Under & continual
rain of machine gun tand shell fire 'he
operated his gun against the enemy un
til the fcnn jammed, whereupon he took
a shovel, rudhel a machine gun post
7 r? yards away ahd kHIcd the gunner,
thereby enabling the continuance of the
advance.
This man has received the distinguish?
ed service cross, and he assuredly de
served the honor if any One ever did.
ftefore we entered the wnr it was a fav
orlte taunt of the subsidized throttled
German press that <fhe America n soldier,
if he should ever gO(t to Europe, would
huve neither the skill nor the courage
to be ? factor in the situation. They
were wrong and the whole German race
now kuows it. Thin young fellow from
South Carolina contributed a man's full
share toward their enlightenment on the
matter of trans-Atlantis .eon rage. While
we are honoring (throughout the country
the leaders of regiments <and brigades
let u*? noit, ?therefore, forget the private
hi the ranks. For w*hen all is aaid
T" ? -r ' ' ? "
and done, It was the men iu the ranks ~
who won the war. An army made up ?J
men like Private Hunt of CheaterfieUT
would win any war.
