An immediate response v came Irom a large number of counties, who are now planning both local and county contests to select champions for .the State Contest, to ’•c held at Winthrop College July 3 and 4, 1924 —"For en from which selections will be made for the local, coumy and state contests.

He said that at t,he present time he would not feel justified in recommending dust in preference to liquid, as mere was not sufficient data to warrant the general use of dust at this time. However, he believed that there was a great future to the use of Bordeaux dust in prefer ence to the Bordeaux liquid. , In view of the above information. 1 call to your attention the fact that k is. imperative for you to spray tip* above named crops for the control hi’ Anthracnose.
