Well within in viow of her dyi?g

Thoro is no objeotion to tho uso of

tho aporca of tho oottoa will fungus,
but fxperionoo has shown that in tho
oa^o of thu oloBoly allied watormolou
wile fungus a barnyard onoo infected
will romain BO for mauy years, and that
all manure taken out of it will bo like

probably *truo of tho ootton wilt fun
gus.
Tho moat encouraging resulta haro
obme from tho endoavor of tho depart
ment to Und a race of ootton whioh can
bo grown on tho infootod lands. There
aro always some plants in ovory field
whioh resist tho O?BOABQ to a grater or

that of two plants in tho Kamo hill,
equally c*cposod to infection, ono will

reunion. All dogrcos of rosistanoo may
bo found, from plants noarly killed by
tho wilt disoaso to thoso entiroly
healthy. Thu latter aro oomparatively
U?oommon, howovor.
[Different raoos of .cotton vary consid
erably in thoir suaooptibility to tho wilt
d)?oaso. This was shown by an cxpori
mont oarried out by tho department on
the farm of Mr. ?.I.. L. Galloway, at Dil
lon. S. 0.
It will be' soon that Borne of; tho boat
kinds are among thoBO mest inj ur od by
this disoaso; but thoro wero ono or
moro plants in each raoe that entiroly
withstood tho di?oaso,, and tho sood
from thoso haa boon saved with tho in
tention of securing valuable resistant
strains by cross breeding thom,
Tho ability of ooftain cotton plants to
grow on infootod land is duo to tho fact
that tho wilt fungus is unable to on tor
their principal root system and not to
any laok or infeotion. This has boon
determined by miorosoplo examination.
That infeotion of thoso plants has real
ly takon placo may bo demo initiated by
an examination of their roots for the
littlo tufts of rootlot* whioh mark tho
location of infootions. Tho roots of
plants takon from tho row of Janno
viteh ootton woro attaokod by tho fun
gus in over a hundred p'.noon, PR found
By actual count, yet in no oaeo did tho
parasite penetrate as far as tho main
stem, whilo plants of king cotton in tho
nd J Dining row were completely ovor
como. A? determined by numorous mi
croscopic examinations eaoh little tuft
of roots marks a point attaokod by tho
fungus, so that thore can bo no doubt
of the thoroughness of the infeotion
and, furthermore, no doubt that such
plants ara actually resistant to the fun?
RIKI.
. It is evident that BUoh an oifoofc as,
tho fungus baa produced here must in
jure the plant considerably and this
was found tobo th? case. The averag?
height of plants grown on the infootod
lacu wan twenty-three ?mohos, while
plantai on adjoining land tory slightly
infected grow forty two inohoa high.
Such injury as this would of oourse

Ia this oonneotion tho most important
question is whothor this qiality of re
bistanoo. to disosBO in traiifmnsaibto
through tho scod to suooocdibg genera
tions. An experimontdosignod to settle
this point provo d a rcnurkeblo suoooss
It was carrie d out by Mr JD I i ss L. Riv
ers, of .lumea Island, B. C., whosoleotod
a healthy plant of soa island cotton that
grow in a badly blighted field in 1899
Tho seed from this resistant plant was
savod and planted in a singlo row
through a field that had boon Tnfcotod
with the wilt disease for several yo ar?,
Tho adjoining rows weiro planted with
sood from his main crop, grownon noa
infootod land. Tho wilt-disoato mado
almost a olean swoop through tho ord i
nary cotton, 95 por cont ot tho plants
being killed, whilo in tho row planted
willi net d lrom tho resistant plant not
a aiuglo plant was killed by tho wilt
disease ,
Thoso plants wore vigorous and pro.
duotivo.' Tbo dwarfing noted in B?yp
tian and upland ootton grown by tho
writ cv on infooted land at Dillon, 8. 0.,
wau not HO markod boro. Tho quality
of tho lint good, though not oqutl to
tho or op from whioh tho tmlootion was
mado. It is boliovod, howovor, that by
continued cross brooding and solootion
io suooooding yoars tho quality of tho
ootton may- bo improved without loss of
rosittanoo to tho wilt disease. Work
along this lino has already boon started
in a small way by, tho department,
whioh it is hopod may bo onlarged.
It has boen shown that muoh oan bo
accomplished in Ibo control of tho wilt
dinoa?o of ootton by simply solcoting
sood from rosin-ant plants. It is vory
probablo that hotter renn I tn will bo ob
tained by or?se breeding thoso resistant
individuals, for in thia way tho rosis
tant qualities of two plants will bo
combined and thoro will bo added tho

from crossing. On thc other hand, if
tho flowers ora rcsiutant oot'on plane
should be fertilized by poll?n brought
by in9cots from a disoasod pU'?t? as
may eas ily happon in tho field, plants
grown from tho resulting scods will
very likely bo leas resistant than if thoy
bad boen fertilised by poll?n from an
other res staut plant. On this account,
in tho ne le m ion of roB?Btant raocs, it will
bo desirable to oross by hand as many,
flowers as possiblo in ordor to inoroaso
tho ohanoos of suoooss.
In oonneotion with tho work of tho
department a largo number of orossos
botweon resistant plants have already
boon made, lt ha* been our aim to Bo
oti ro resistant olaima from our common
raoos by oross fertilising plants of tho
Bamo raoo, and at tho same time to in
oroaso tho produotiyonos* and improve
tho quality by Boleottng the boBt plants
of oaob sort for brooding.
Tho faot that tho K ?y pt ian cottons
are resistant to tho wilt disoas? had led
io tho attempt to produee a resistant
long staple upland ootton, by hy bridie
mg roSistant plants of tue common up
land raoos with tho Egyptian ootton.
It, is very desirable that ovoryono. who
uodortakos tho brooding of resistant
ootton.should at thoi samo timo pay
U,voat attention to se outing a moro prt>: I

CONCLUSION. . "
Thoro is a groat premiso of a suc
cessful remedy for tho colton wilt dis
ca^o io solootion of Boeds fr >m healthy
plants growing cn infooted soils and
ny continuing to soloot aad oross brood
tho most rubistant plants in suooooding
crop? with a viow both to rosistanoo
and quality of staplo.
It would bo woll in tho csso of up
land oo.ton to start with a raoo liko tho
J ?ok ?on, whioh is al road y highly Ve
nouant, and improvo and fix tho quality
by caroful oross brooding and solootion.
In plaoos whero t li i 4 olustor typo of
cotton is undoBirablo a resistant strain
of tho sorts oommonly oultivstod can
probably bo obtainod by oross brooding
and Boleotion. It is hardly to ko ex
pected that this process will result in
p< r foot ly i inmuno raoo tho first yo ar.
10von though mubh of tho ootton bo
oomo disoasod, tho solootion should bo.J
oontinued oaoh suooooding year until,
tho quality of rosiatanco is fixed,
lu tho oaso of tho soa island cotton,
whore length and fino quality of staplo
aro ossoniial, tho proooss of selcotion
and brooding should.bo the same. Ito
sistanoo to discaso muH bo tho primary
requisito, and from tho resistant*plants
thoso bearing tho Anent lint may bo
solcolod.
I Tho Egyptian cottons will probably
provo of tho grcatost valuo when oross
od with otir upland raoos so ns to add
tho vigor and quality of the former to
tho produotivonoss of tho lattor. It. 1B
hopod that tho department will bo able
to exton;! its work along this promising
lino.
In addition to selcotlomfor rosistanoo
all praotioablo proventivo mosBuros
should bo appliod. Rotation of oxops is
ovon ino.o important on thoso infected
soils than on healthy ones, for tho con
tinual growing of ootton on ihono lands,
will inoroaso tho amount of disoaso and
docroabo tho rosiBtanoo of tho ootton. .
Prompt destruotion of disoasod plants
is; also-vory important. Every effort
should bo mado to avoid tho infection of
healthy fio Ids by animals, tools, wash
wator from disoasod fields, disoasod
plants, infeoted o?mpost, oto. As al
ready stated, land ones infected with
his disoaso remains iafooted foran un-i|
