Mr. Qrof t asked suavely why the poo
'plo of( York, sohonorablo and pure,ote.,
were opposed to tho salo of liquor and
yot woro willing to tako that oouoty'u
sham of public school funds from li
quor profits. .
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.) Mr Pr i noe then declared
broadly that ho was not tho man to
foroo tho salo of liquor upon any poo
plo. . But, if this in.0\a is to be kept

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. There
aro always some plants in overy field
whioh rosist tho O?SCABO to a grator or
lesa extent, and it frequently happona
that of two plants in tho samo hill,
equally exponed to infootion, - ono will

season. 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

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

lt is very deni rabio that ovoryono who
undertakes tho brooding of resistant

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.
