United States supreme court on No vember 11 und make argument to dis miss the writ of error In the ense of the State of South Carolina against O. Wash Hunter of Laurons county. He has completed his argument In the case. It Is asked that the writ of error he dismissed on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction because the judgment of the supreme court of South Caro lina to which the, writ of error was directed show that G. Wash Hunter failed to properly claim any right under the constitution or laws of the United States. If is asked that If the writ of error be not dismissed that the judgment of the supreme court of South Carolina be affirmed on the grobnd that the record may show that this court has jurisdiction, it Is mani fest that the writ of error was taken for delay only and that the question on which the jurisdiction depends are 80 frivolous as not to need further argument."

S CLEM SON EXTENSION WORK J * * * * ? * * * *** * **** During the past two yearB there serin.-, to have been a gradual increase in the amount of damaged or rotten corn hi the Heids throughout the Btate. Investigations started last fall and continued this summer show that the large majority of this trouble is due to a fungus disease Known as dry rot or ear rot of corn. In one Held re cently Investigated in Darlington county we found 20 per cent, of the ears destroyed by t:..s disease. Re ports have come in from other sections showing that the disease is wide-1 spread i ml is causing considerable damage. Now any disease that in pures our corn crop is of vital inter est, and every farmer should know enough about such a disease to enable him to recognize It when be comes in contact with It. and to enable him to I combat it where it causes loss, it is ; hoped that at least a part of such knowledge will be gained from this , article. Symptoms of the disease are very j characteristic. At the time the corn , begins to ripen, the husks on the dis j eased ears turn permaiurely yellow. I Later, they assume a mottled or black I Ish appearance and seem to stick very I close to the ears. When the husks are , pulled back from such ears, the grains I will be found to be shriveled and ln | mature and the ear will be noticeably ? decreased In weight. Later, the grains appear very brittle and frequently as sume a brownish color. At this stage the whole ear Is usually overrun w ith ! a white looking mold. When the dls- j eased ears are broken across, small black fruiting bodies of the fungus Will he found on the tips of the gains and in the cob. This rot is caused by a parasitic fungus. Diplodea inaydis. Studies of the life history of the fungus recently made at the Nebraska and Illinois F,x periment stations show that the fuu gus lives over winter on the diseased ears and stalks which are left In the field. It spreads from these to the new corn the following season at the time the corn fs in silk and tassel. The infection takes place through the silks. If the weather conditions are jfe.voi.lble for the development of the i fungus at this stage the disease spreads very rapidly. At the Illinois station the fungus has been found to live on the old corn stalks In the' Held for two years, and in some cases for three years. They recommend that ? the corn stalks be removed from .he Held and destroyed and that a rota tion be practiced which will keep corn, off of the land for two years. It seems that such measures would eliminate the disease. I have in mind one case in this State, however, where the dis ease has doue considerable damage in the face of such rotation, so ic seems that some further data are needl ed before we can give definite mea sures for controlling the disease, [nt this connection It is well to keep in mind the fact that removing the conn! stalks from the field eliminates one oC j the principal sources of infection for i the next season. This emphasizes the advantage to be gained by cutting and i shredding the corn. As stated above, j however, we need more data which will apply to southern methods and" conditions. In order to secure such Information, we need co-operation. We are pushing chis investigation now and are asking- ahnt every one who has the disease In his field Will write us about it and send us specimens. We have on hand a number of franked tags which will bring specimens through ' the mail irve of cost, and we will be glad to Bond these to anyone desiring to send such specimens. Where eases seem t<? warrant it. we will be glad to visit tlclds where the disease is Causing trouble and look into the con ditions prevailing there. II. W. Barre. Botanist, s. ('.
