Columbia correspondence New and Courier: The farmers of Sumter and Orange burg counties have been bothered greatly by cotton wilt, Congressman Lever has heen active in securing relief for his constituents through the medium of the Federal department of agricul ture. The department has been ob serving this trouble for about three years, with the result that a wilt-resis tant variety of cotton has been bred, and this seems to be the remedy for the evil. The Hagood section of Sumter County has especially suffered, and several years ago Congressman Lever sent a quantity of his wilt-resistant seed to farmers in this community with , the most satisfactory results. Mr. Lever has recently received thei following letter from the department on this subject: United States Department of Agri culture, Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington, I). C, August 12, 1907. "Hon. A. F. Lever, Peak, S. C. ? Dear Mr. Lever: Since our letter of July the I 23rd, in regard to the outbreak of cot-j ton disease at Hagood, Sumter County, S. ('., specimens have been received I from Dr. M. S. Kirk, of that place, and I find the trouble to be the cotton wilt. I believe you are already quite I well acquainted with our work on this] disease. Mr. W. A. Orton, of our laboratory of plant pathology, has justj returned from a trip to the South, and) reports that the disease resistant varie ties now being bred are showing up very well, the percentage of resistance being higher than ever. In fact it is a rare exception for a plant to become] diseased from wilt, except where the farmer has allowed the seed to become j mixed, or has planted them in a field badly infected with root-knot. We shall have more of this cotton to distri bute next winter, and will arrange to I supply your correspondents at that| time. We find it more and more necessary to urge upon the farmers the necessity for a rotation of crops in combination with the use of our resistant seed. A great many fields are affected by root knot which is in most cases propagated on the roots of the common cowpea. It is, therefore, essential on wilt-infec ted lands the use of the common cow peas, such as speckled, black and un known, be discontinued, and the iron pea or the velvet bean substituted therefor. Before planting a resistant variety of co'ton, the land should be put in oats, lollowed by corn or, iron cow peas for at least two years. Yours) truly, "A. F. Woods, "Acting Chief of Bureau." HAD AN AWFUL TIME Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy Cured Him. It is with pleasure that I give you this unsolicited testimonial. About a year ago when I had a severe case of measles I got caught out in a hard rain and the measles settled in my stomach and bowels. 1 had an awful time ami had it not been for the use of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy I could not have possibly lived but a few hours longer, but thanks to this remedy I am now strong and well.
