Jim Pride is a good friend of
mine on his wife’s side of the family.
She’.s mighty fine. Jim runs a store
when it ain’t tunning him. Jim has
always had high ideas and low prices.
When he gets his car and home paid
for, he wont owe anything but his
bank notes and his radio and ice-box
Jivtalments.

I didn’t know it till one day last
week, but Jim has a “lodge” up in
the mountains, only 78 hiiles by the
speedometer from our house. As the
temperature was shimmying around
Friday, Jim. made up his mind to go
to a cooler climate and take me with
him. We went.
As Jim’s car was broke down, he
«sked me to please drive him up in
my car. We got started at 5 p. m.,
by Jim’s watch—which was only 57
minute? slow. We got to the turn
ing off place (where we left the paved
road) just about dusk. The road to
Jim’s cottage was 9 mile.? of gulleys,
2 miles of rock, chuks, logs, creeks
and bushes.
We arrived at the “lodge” about
9:20 p. m. Yep, there was the lodge
in the moonshine; it was a few rough
planks and a bundle of tin lodged on
the mountain side. I asked Jim to
turn on the lights, and he did—he
struck a match, He finally found the
old lantern, but it was empty, and
there wasn’t any kerosene in the
lodge. I rigged up a pine torch to
see with.

plants here and there, dying from
wilt. Another way of being sure
that plants have wilt is to take your
pocket-knife and peel off just a lit
tle of the bark on a suspected plant.
If the plant has wilt you can gen
erally tell it by the dark coloration
just under the bark which you can
compare with the clear tissue in the
.-tern of a healthy plant.
Rust can be absolutely controlled
by liberal applications of muriate of
potash, kainit or of .fertilizers con
taining high percentage of potash.
Potash also helps to control wilt by
giving the plant? extra health and
vigor. Wealthy fields of cotton nat
urally make better yields, and jn
'these distressing times, in spite of
low prices which prevail, we must
have better yields to come out on
the long end of the horn. It is rather
late in the season to try to control
severalXcases of rust or wilt now.
but you 'might go to your fertilizer
dealer and\a.?k him to let you have a
sack or so \)f 20 percent kainit or
muriate of potash to try on your
fields even thisMate.

about, or vL?it a farm where you

the usual amounts of\potash in his

you will .?ee potash hunger satisfied.
On farms where growers^ used too
little potash, or no potash at all,
you will, seven chances out of ten,
see just the same conditions have

In all my life, I had never .?een
such a habitation. It wasn’t fit for a
politician to live in—much less folks.
But the temperature was only 99 in
it. He i» thinking of changing the
name of this place from “Lodge” to
“The Summit.” I sugge-ted that he
call it “The Limit.” But he never
saw the point. He likes things

My cot was 2 planks nailed on
the wall. It began to rain about mid
night. I got up and put on my
bathing suit so’.? I Could enjoy the
shower bath. The roof was more
like a sifter than a roof. My mat
tress was composed of 3 part? shucks,
4 parts com cobs, 1 part straw and
10 parts insect?—such as ants, uncles,
ansoforth. My pillow wa« missing.
Our supper consisted of .?aidims:
Jim forgot to fetch crackers. Our
breakfast was also sardines. Jim for
got to fetch along any coffee, ?ugar,
bread or butter. He said he thought
I was to bking eve*ything. The
spring wa<5i 500 yards frirni the
lodge, and so was the bath-room. I
was glad to get away from the place
of rest. The next time Jim get? me
up there in his “The Summit,” he
will have to kidnap me. Lots of folks
call such as that “roughing it.” I
call it “toughing it.” But I’m cured.
I got back home just about 30 min
utes before I would have starved to
death.

Cotton rust is beginning .to show
up in thousands of cotton fields in
the State and is revealing to many of
us, in thi? year of scarcity of rainfall
and scarcity of money, that
we
haven’t put^enough potash under or
alongside the cotton crop to satisfy
it. At this writing we have not
noticed many severe case? of cotton
rust, but the season is young yet and
these will develop later. In these
severe ca?es the leaves begin to turn
yellow, then brown, then fall off
completely, leaving the bare stajk
with not enough energy to mature
the bolls. Those bolls which do not
fully matuA* are exceedingly hard
to pick, because they are very tough,
and do not reach full size.
-•I have placed several demonstra
tions throughout the State and would
call the attention of those of you
readers who live near them, to the
following named farmers:—Mr. Hen
ry F. Bamberg’s farm just off the
Denmark-Bamberg highway; Mr. J.
H. Lancaster’s farm on the Barnwell-
Blackville highway, Mr. D. L. Mer
ritt’s farln near Wi’i'ston and Mrs.
M. T. Quattlebaum’s farm near Wil-
liston.
- - i # *
All of these demonstrations are
two acres in size, one acVe having
been top dressed with 200 pounds of
20 per cent high grade kainit and
100 pounds of sulphate of ammonia.
These fields are shoeing up exceed
ingly well and those of them which
do not have signs pointing out the
demonstrations now, will have the
signs within the next ten days, and
it is my earnest desire that those
farmers who want to see clear cut
demonstrations of the control of cot
ton rust with the use of potash,
visit these fields in the next thirty
days. Not all of the demonstratiohs
have “rusted cotton in^the same fields,
but a mile or so on each side of them
along the highways metioned, there
is no chance of mistaking many
fields of rusted crops.
Another disease which is rather
prevalent in cotton crops this summer
is cotton wilt and additional potash
in the fertilizers, or used as a top
dresser will go a long way towards
helping control it. Cotton wilt is
caused by a tiny organism living in
what you see b*» a les.-on to you
next season’s crop.
