Wilt ?en.r now to c.- eur on the majority of the farms in the coastal pl.-.Ir. “Cotton wilt." sa*r Prof. R.trre. “is recognized by blackened tissues founu on the ln?id<* of the wilting or dead plants. Where lit ton is dying, split tne stem open and if there are darn streak? in the wood or just beneath tbc bark, th.o dis ease is wilt. "' T *h'» fUiie’is v.hi !, ralise:-! cotton wilt will live in the .>oil indefinitely and anything which carries sojl from the infecteu areas to other parts of the farm will spread the disease. Plows and other imple ments used In plowing a field where the disease occur? should be thor oughly cleaned be'ure carried to a field where tne dis as«? does not oc cur. The disease .nay also be car- j ried In drainage water. - ‘ if v. 111 is ecenrrlng fo^ the first time on your farm and Is confined to small areas, pu'l up and destroy the diseased plants. Guard against its further spread by making sure that no soil or drainage water Is carried from the diseased areas to other parts of the farm. If you want to, plant cotton again on land where the disease occurs, ask your county demonstration agent or write to the botany division of Clemsoi College. The Dixie and Dillon vari eties of cotton are *mmune to wilt and we are co-operating- with a num ber of breeders in improving these varieties and keepi-.5 them pure.'* Snlendid results have been obtain ed from the cotton wilt work being done by Clemson Oowcge. L. O. Watson, who has charge of this work.under the direction of Prof. Parr®.' made much progress during the last year in breeding wilt-resist ant strains. -As a result of this work, thousands of acres which would otherwise die. unproductive are now being put in cotton. In 1910 a farmer in Barnwell county made 9 bales of cotton on 45 acres with non-resistant varieties. HD land was badly Infected with wIR.. During the last two years, he has produced 45 bales each year on the same 45 acres, having Increased hlx yield flve-fcld. •—» *—A A From a City Men Who Has Gone Back to the Land.

Welliver. Washington cor respondent of,that publication, con tributes an interesting article in which he shows that largo farms are more profitable than snail on*^ In proportion to the dollars invested. He says that after two or fhre® years of investigation the govern ment has published a bulletin pre senting the conclusions of a survey of* representative-' farms In Indiana. Illinois and lofig*.'therein is shown who makes the money farming* an 1 how; also who loses It and why. Following is an extract giving some of the facts contained -in the gov-, ernmenfs reports: “In the first place, it seems to have discovered that most of it is made by' the landlord, and that chiefly oat of the iqcrease in land values. * The farmer gets poor wa ges for his work. In a startling large proportion of the eases ho gets no wages at all after allowance Is made for Interest on investmept and cost of help.

A woman who is the wife of an Oregon fafmer, tells in the department how she set about' to make a little ^axtra money, fhe decided against chicken raising be cause she has a horror of killing an imals. She was too far from the market to make berry raising suc cessful, with the exception of goose berries, so she went into -the goose berry business, and describes her success as follows: I had about two dosen bushes it the time. These I spaded around and mulched heavily with old hay. About half of the bushes produced fine large berries, and I sold sixty pounds, besides- canning eighteen quarts and using plenty for the ta ble. This was encouraging and L< loved the work, so in the fill I set out a lot more bushes, pruned!
