COTTON PUNTED IN
* SINGLE-STALK STYLE
Advantages Under Certain Conditions
in New Method
^ of Culture Stated.
Single-stalk cotton culture has proved
more satisfactory than other systems
of culture in various sections of
the cotton belt and under certain conditions
because it has been found that
it promotes earliness and increases
the acre yield . In regions which have
short seasons or are infested with the
\flfrll weevil increased earliness is a
factor of especial importance.
Two principles are involved in single-stalk
cotton culture, namely, late
thinning and short spaces between the
plants in the row. The late thinning
suppresses the vegetative branches
and restricts the size of the plants
rfi^so that they can be left from 6 to 12
Kl'ithps nruiff uMfKnuJ- 1
-j, ? v liuiuui iiijui iuua ci uwuThis
enables the row space to be
utilized more efliciently, and higher
yields in oQnsequence are obtained
than from the common system of wide
(spacing. i
The increased earliness of single-1
stalk culture is due to the fact that
large, luxuriant plants are later in
setting and maturing the crop than
jA plants of more restricted growth. In
the region of San Antonio, Tex.,
drought and the ravages of the boll
weevil so shorten the season that ordinarily
a cotton crop must be set in
about one month. Under such circumstances
single-stalk culture posesses
advantages that can not be overlooked
In Department Bulletin No. 279, the |
results of recent experiments conduct- I
ed by the department at San Antonio
in single-stalk cotton culture are set
forth in some detail. The single-stalk
and wide spaced systems of culture
were compared in alternate single
rows, in alternate blocks of four rows
each, and again in alternate rows 3,
4, 5, and (> feet apart. The plants
Ht'ere thinned early, late and very
late to various distances apart. The
results of these experiments showed
that while there were fewer bolls on
the single-stalk plants, the difference
was more than made good by the
greater number of plants in the single-stalk
rows.
The single-stalk rows set from
to 149 per cent more bolls than adjoining
wide-spaced rows, and differences
in yield were in about the same
proportion. In alternate-row plantings
the single-stalk rows yielded
from 03 to 227 per cent (average 121.5
per cent) more seed cotton than the
wide-spaced rows, while in adulterate
block of four rows the yields favored
single-stalk culture by from 15 to
119 per cent (average 5(5.1 per cent).
An examination of the fiber in the
field showed no perceptible difference
in the quantity of the lint.

CURING PELLAGRA
BY DiET METHODS
\
Balanced Ration Needed to
Stop Ravages of Dread
Disease.
Washington.?Complete success of
the dietary treatment both in prevent-"
ing and permanently curing pellagra
is described in reports made public
from federal public health service of
ficials who have spent the past year
experimenting with hundreds of patients
in Georgia andNMississippi.
More than a year ago the service
announced that preliminary tests had
demonstrated that pellagra was caused
by improper diet and that elimination
of this cause would cure the disease.
Since then three experiment
stations have been established, two at
Jackson, Miss., and the other at the
Georgia State sanitarium, and many
pellagra victims now have completed
a year's treatment. All soon were rid
of the disease and the reports show
that in only one case at the end of the
year had there been symptoms of recurrence.
The hygienic and sanitary conditions
in all three stations were kept
unchanged to prove beyond doubt that
any improvement in the patients was
due to diet.
The Diet Needed.
In announcing the success of the
treatment, the public health service
recommends that the people in communities
where pellagra is prevalent
should increase the diet of fresh animal
and leguminous foods, particularly
during the late winter and
spring. Ownership of milch cows, increase
of milk, poultry and egg production
for home consumption and a
reduction in the diet of starchy foods
is urged.

BOYS' FARM CLUBS
BEING CONSIDERED
Extension of Corn Club Idea
Gives Boys Training
Several Ways.
i'.-fli !'?!? , . .
The success of boys' corn clubs and
pig clubs in the South has led those
I in charge cf the work in this section
I to plan for the extension of the movemcnt
through the formation of boys
| farm clubs. In these clubs the boys
| who have already learned in the former
organizations how to produce large
yields of corn and the value of live
j stock will be taught the elementry
principles of crop rotation, the economical
feeding of live stock, and the upbuilding
of the soil.
Without some system of rotation

one acre can not repeat their performances
the following season. The farm
clubs, therefore, are designed to teach
the boys how to best use this acre the
i year after they have grown their corn.
Each one of the members should own,
or have the care of, at least one farm
animal which should be carried on the
acre, returning a profit to its owner
and fertilizing the soil. The third
yea]1 the acre is to be sown to corn
again.
I In this way the boys' clubs now provide
a practical three years' course in
the principles of sound agriculture.
The importance of the movement is
shown by the fact that nearly 75,00(1
boys are now enrolled in the corn
clubs of the South, and several thousand
more in pig clubs, not. only learning
themselves, but furnishing an invaluable
object lesson to the grown
farmers around them.
The cxa'-t rotation that is followed
in these farm clubs, is of course, determined
by individual conditions. In
some sections the acre should be sown
to a cover crop for grazing and turning
under in the spring. After this
treatment, cnwnone. crur
7 .. \/i ov/ > uv. aiiOy UI
peanuts may bo sown and prizes given
for the greatest yield. Elsewhere such
crops as rye, and crimson clover, rye
and bur clover, or vetch and oats may
be sown together. Excellent results
have already been obtained by many
boys with crimson clover, one reason
being that they take more pains with
inoculation than the average farmer.
For smaller boys in the first years
of their membership in the clubs one
acre is probably enough to handle
The corn they require to feed theii
live stock may be obtained in ex-1
change for small grain, hay, ccwpeas I
clover seed, or some of the.other products
of their acre, or else the average
boy, by helping his father on a farm
may receive sufficient feed of corn in
return for his labor. Older boys may
of course, find 2 acres none too much,
putting 1 acre in corn and the other
;'n small grain and legumes.
In order to stimulate interest, the
authorities in charge of this demon
stration work are recommending that
0ri7.es he offered for legumes and for
'.he small grain grown by the club mem
hers as well as for corn. If a boy uses
his grain crop for grazing or turning
under, lie can compete for prizes 011
such crops as peanuts, beans, peas
and legumes. It is also an excellent
opportunity for valuable demonstration
in the best mthods of harvesting
the seed of the clovers, vetch, etc.
After a year of this work, prepara
tion should be made to plant the acre
to corn again. The boy will then!
know much more about corn produc-1
tion and farming i 11 general than
when he first entered the club. At the
end of the third year most of the club
members will probably be compelled
for one reason, or another, to leave
the club. It is recommended that certificates
signed by the highest authorities
of the colleges and States should
be given to every boy after three
years' work of the character outlined.

FREE FROM SPOTS
Avoid Repitition Next Year of
Serious Losses This ^ \
W Year. T "v (
?
Bean growers who would avoid a
repitition next year of the heavy losses
from disease suffered this season
are advised by the department to give
their personal attention to the immediate
selection of a stock of seed beans
free from disease infection. They
should select the seed beans in the pod
and not after thrashing.
They should simply pick the pods
that are free from all spots, save, and
| thrash separately. The planting of
infected seed is primarily rscponsible
for the troubles experienced. Weather
conditions greatly influence the
subsequent development of disease,
but clean seed on clean land will go
far toward giving a clean crop even in
a season like the present, which has
been exceptionally favorable to the dc(
velopment of disease and unfavorable
to the growth of the bean crop.
Two bean diseases are commonly
' prevalent, anthracnose and bacterial
blight, Both attack and spot the pods,
penetrate them, and enter the beans,
remaining dormant over winter under'
the seed coats, where they can not be
reached by disinfectants. : When
the beans are planted these
diseases attack the young seedlings,
causing a root rot and blighting of
stem and leaves, and if the weather
is cool and wet they spread again to
thu pods. Bacterial blight is conveyed
by wind and other means to a greater
extent than anthracnose and is less
easily controlled but clean seed and
crop rotation will give best results. Old
bean ground should not be replanted
next year.
As far as possible each farmer
should save his own seed from his
own farm. Beans have been so generally
affected by disease that the farmer
should not rely on ordinary so-called
northern-grown seed or elevator
stock planting. If lie has to buy seed
he should make certain that it has
been selected from disease-free pods.
Examine all thrashed seed carefully,
and if it shows suspicious spots or
other evidence of disease it should not
oe used. Home selection, also, will
'.end to build up a strain adapted to
he locality and better than seed
brought from a distance.
A survey just completed shows
that there are fields in all parts of the
bean States where clean pods, or even
plants with all the pods clean, may be
found, though some fields are hope'cssly
affected. The farmer who ex|
pects to continue bean growing?and
l this valuable rron shnnl/l r?nf hr? oKnn.
cloned because of this years' discouraging
exeperienee?should pick
enough clean pods to plant his next
crop, or a.t least a large seed plot.
These should he shelled by hand and
carefully stored. If the quantity is
small, it would he well to plant by
hand two beans every 12 or 15 inches
in ordinary rows in a separate seed
plot.
There should be organized effort on
the part of county agents, bean dealers
and community leaders to have all
available clean seed saved for local
use and not sold with the general crop
This must be done before the beans
arc thrashed.
