Things To Be Done This Month Agronomy Cultivate intensively for grass and weed control. Last call for late side applications of quick-actirg ammonia to cotton. Apply nitrogen to corn when bunching to tassel. It :s more profit able tha n later applications. Be sure of sufficient forage by putting in plenty of summer hay crops. Still time for Sudan grass. Degin new to prepare land frr sowing in alfalfa in September on strong productive land. Horticulture Plant Lockout Mourta'n Irish po tatoes in July for the second crop. Transplant tomatoes for late crop. Plant Rutabaga turnips in late July and early August. Transplant collards in late July, setting stems deep. Cut out nil dead and broken limbs in the orchard. Pick and destroy all mummied fruit. Dig tulips, narcissus, etc., dry thorn, and plant again late in Sep tember. Plant Diseases Spray apple trees with Bordeaux mixture to save fruit from bitter rot. Put two Bordeaux applications op car.talcupes to check «lowly mildew. Don’t forget to spray tomatoes weekly with a 4-4-50 Bordeaux for leaf spot. Don’t, allow any fallen fruit to re main under fruit trees this year Keep the garden -i>ee of weeds and grass. This is the best and easiest way to f’ght diseases. Get rust-:esistant beans for the fall crop. Watch tobacco fields for any unus ual diseases and report them to Clemson College. Entomology Poison the boll weevil with cal cium arsenate dust when square in festation reaches 10 per cent. Control the Mexican bean beetle by dusting with calcium arsenate one pound and hydrated lime nine pounds. Watch for the army worm and use poison bran mash in forage crops and paris green or other arsenicals on grass and terraces. Dust w.th lead arsenate to con trol the pickle worm.

Plant Diseases Cause Heavy Annual Losses Disease of plants in the United States reduce crop yields to growers, often to a serious and sometimes to a disastrous degree. Pathologists of the United States Department of Ag riculture are now collecting the sta tistics and making the estimates for last year which will be the eleventh annual report of such losses. The severity of d seases varies from year to year, but the record fo” 1926 gives something of a suggestion of what may be expected in the 1927 report. In 1926, disease is estimated to have caused a reduction in yield of the wheat crop of more than 7 per cent, with bunt as the most damag ing single d’sease. Damage to rye from all diseases amounted to only about 1 per cent, but barley suffer- j cd worse with nearly 6 per cent re- j ductien in yield and with covered smut the worst disease. About 10.3 reduction in yield of oats is estimat ed with stem rust and loose and cov ered smut responsible for most of j the loss. Corn diseases accounted for nearly 13 per cent reduction in yield with ear rots responsible for more than half the damage. Tennessee growers lost about 30 per cent of their crop largely through root and ear rots, and Missouri, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina losses ranged from 28 per cent to 21 per cent. In the truck crops, potatoes are seriously affected with a large var iety of diseases, but late blight caus ed injuries estimated at mcVe than 6 per cent of a total reduction in yield of more than 18 per cent. With sweet potatoes the loss amounted to more than 10 per cent and with beans nearly 6 per cent. Cotton, seriously injured by in sects, also suffered a reduction in y-eld due to diseases of nearly 15 per cent. Grapes, with the excep tion of a few States, suffered only comparatively slight losses, but the apple crop reduction amounted to more than 10 per cent, and peach and pear reductions in 1926 were about 8 per cent each. Department of Agriculture scient ists are constantly studying these diseases with a view to devising methods of cure or control oV to eliminate losses by the tfiscovery or breeding of resistant varieties. In some of the most seriously affected crops ways have been devised by which farmers can prevent or mini mize these losses. -tXX- Folks who have the idea the road to success is a boulevard never get any place.
