The bili seeks to foroo oountios Uko York to adopt che dispensary sys tom.

Mr. de Loaoh nneworod that tho dis ponaary is a Sta's and not a local insti tution. This bill is promoted by no noblo motivo. It is an outrageous en deavor to fur00 upon tho pooplo of York and othor such counties the adoption bf an obnoxious system by holding oui tho tempting bait of profit. Ho culo gis.d tho people of York as a progr?s-' nive and noblo pooplo. Mr PrincO' wanted to know if the pooplo of X ork woro all that Mr. do Loaoh had piolured thom -fighting tho a#ful trafilo itt liquor-why should thoy touch tho.filthy luoro 'earning .from its tale? He warmly refuted tho chango of ignoble motivo. (Mr. de Loaoh disolaitnod.using the word lg noblo.)

Tho samo is probably *truo of tho ootton wilt fun I gus. Tho mont onoouraging rosults havo como from tho ondoavor of tho dopart mont to find a raoo of ootton whioh caa ho grown on tho infootod lands.

All dogrooa of rosistanoo may bo found, from plants noarly killed by tho wilt diseaso to thoso entiroly healthy. Tho latter aro eomparativcly uncommon, howovor. .. Di fieront raoos of ootton vary consid erably in their susceptibility to tho wilt di?oaso. . Thia was oho wp by an expori mont carried out by tho department on tho farm of Mr. H.. L. Galloway, at Dib lon. 8. 0. 'j It will bo Boon that somo'fcf tho host kinds aro among thoso most injured by this diseaso j bub thoro were ono or moro plants in oaoh raoe that entiroly Withstood tho ditioaao,, and tho sood from thoao has boon Bavcd with tho in tontion of scouring valuablo r?sistant strains by oross breeding thom, Tho ability of oort ai n ootton plants to grow on infootod land is duo to tho fact that tho wilt fungus is unable to ontor their principal root system and not to any lack of infootion. . This has boon determined by micronoplo examination. That infootion of thoso plants has real ly taken placo may bo dcmoesti?tcd by an examination of their roots for tho littlo tufts of root-lots whioh mark tho location of infootiono. Tho roots of plants takon from tho sow of Janno vitoh ootton woro attacked by tho fun gus in OYov a hundred p'.aoes, as found by aotual oount, yet in no eaao did tho parasite penetrate as for as tho main ?tom, whllo plants of king ootton in tho adjoining row woro oompletoly ovor oomo. A? determined by numerous mi orosoopio examinations o no h littlo tuft of roots marks a point ru talced by tho fungus, so that thoro oan bo no doubt of tho thoroughness of the infootion and, furthermore, no doubt that ouch plants ar? aotunlly r?sistant to the fun? gas. It ls evident that suoh an effect as, tho fungus has produced here must in jure tho plant consider ably and this was found to ba the ORSO. The averag? height of plants grown on tho infootod iaoa WAS twenty-throe inohos, while plants on adjoining land tory slightly infootod grew forty-two inohes high. Suoh injury as this would of eouroo greatly shorten tho mop, but tho indi cations Are that oood nolootod from tho moat vigorous plants will bo moro re? oiBtaht than .tho average Tho boat plants in our experimontalplots on tho ^.footed, land wore Pearly equal to those grown on ?ionUhy land arid also showed a etnallor 'number of root tufts. In this connection tho most imo or taut question is wboihor this qiality of. rc bistanoo. to disoaso is transmissible through tho seed to succeeding genera tions. An ex po ri mont dosignod to settle this point proved a mmrkablo BUOOOBS It was oarricd out by Mr Elias L. Hiv ers, of James Irland, S. G., whosoleotod a healthy plant of sea island ootton that grow in a badly blightod field in 1899 Tho ooed from this rosiotant plant was saved a?a planted in a pingle row through a Hold that had boon infeotod with tho wilt disease for sovoral y o ava. Tho scanning rows were planted with nood from his main crop, grown on noa infeotod land. Tho wilt-disoaso mado almost a clean swoop through tho ordi nary ootton, 95 per cont of tho plants being killed, while in tho row planted with need i rom tho resistant plant not a singlo plant was killed by tho wilt disenso. Thoso plants woro vigorous and pro. duotlvo.' Tho dwarfing noted in Btyp? lian and upland ootton grown by tho writor on infeotod land at Dillon, 8.0.? was not s? marked hero. Tho'quality, of tho lint good, though not cqutl to tho orop from whioh tho solootion was made. It is boliovod, however, that by oontinued oross brooding and solootion io suoocoding yearn tho quality of tho ootton may. bo improved without loss of ronibUnoo to tho wilt disoaso. Work along this lino has alroady boon started in a small way by, tho department, whioh it io hoped may bo onlargod. It has boon shown that much can bo aooomplishcd in tho control of tho wilt diqoasa of ootton by simply solcotlng sood from roaistaut plants. It is vory probablo that bettor results will be ob tained by oroos breeding thoso rosistant individuals, for in this way tho rosiB tant qualities of two plants will bo oombinod and thero will bo added tho inoroiBcd vigor whioh. usually comen from crossing. On tho other hand, if tho flowers ora resistant ootton plant should be.fortilized by poll?n brought by in8C0ts from a disoasad plant, as may oatily happon in tho fiold, plants grown from tho rosulting needs will wry likely bo less rgsistant than if thoy had boen fertilized by poll?n from an other rcs:slant plant. On this oooouat. in tho Bclcotion of rosistant raoes, it will bo dcsirablo to cress by hand as many flowors as pobsiblo in ordor to increase tho cha??os of BUCOOBB. Io oonneotion with tho work of tho dopartmont a largo numbor of oroBSos botweon rosistant plants have alroady boon mado. lt has boon our aim to so euro rosistant claims from our common raooB by cruj?a fertilising plants of tho samo raoo, and at tho same time to ia oroaso tho produotivonos* and improve tho quality by eolcoting tho host plants of oacb son for brooding. Tho faot that tho Egyptian oottons aro rosistant to tho wilt disoaso had lod io tho attempt to produoo a ranimant long staple upland ootton, by hy brid is ing rosistant plants of tne eommon up land raoes with tho Egyptian ootton. lt is very deni rabio that ovoryono who undertakes tho brooding of resistant cotton'.should, at tbq same tim? pay. great.attention, to scouring a moro pro ductivo race and a fluor quality ?if staplo. CONCLUSION. . ' Th oro in a groat premiso of a BUO ocBsful remody for the ooiton wilt dis e aie io noiootion of seeds fr un healthy plants growing on infected soils and oy continuing to Boicot and oross brood tho most robistant plant? in euooooding 'crops with a viow both to robistanoo and quality of staph. lt would bo well io tho ORSO of up land OJ.ton to start with a race Hko tho Jaokaon, whioh is alroady highly r? sistant, and improvo and fix tho quality by careful orono breeding and noiootion. In plaoos whero thii ol us tor typo of colton is undosirablo a rosistant strain ot tho sorts commonly cultivated can probably bo obtainod by oross brooding and selection. It ia hardly to ko ox pooled that this proocss will rc?ult in pt rt'ootly immune raoo tho first yoar. Evon though much of tho ootton bo como disoasod, tho solootion should be. oontinued oaoh suoocoding yoar until tho quality of rosiataoco i? fixed, , . In tho caso of tho Boa island cotton, whoro length and fino quality of ?tapio aro ossoniial, tho proooss of eoleotion and brooding should bo tho o anio, ito ?istanoo to disoaao must bo tho primary requisito, and from tho resistant plants thoso bearing tho fioost lint may bo solcolod. .' Tho Egyptian cottons will probably provo ot tho grcatost value when cross od with our upland raoes so as to add tho vigor and quality of tho formor to tho produotivonoss of tho latter. It. is hopod that tho dopartmont will bo ablo to extend its work along this promising lino. In addition to solootiomfor roslBtanco all praotioablo provontivo moasuros should bo applied. Rotation of orops is ovon mo.o important on thoso infeotod soils than on healthy ones, for tho con tinual growing of ootton on thone lands will lboroaso the amount of disoaso and dooroabo tho roaiatanoo of tho ootton? . Prompt destruction of disoasod plants is - also-vory important. Every effort should bo mado to avoid tho infection of hoalthy fiolds by animals, tools, wash water from disoasod fiolds, disoasod plants, infeotod oo'mpost, oto. As al ready stated, land onee infeotod with this disease remains infootod for an taa-j known period. Indians Uprising.
