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 field recently Investigated In Dar? lington county we found 20 per cent, of the ears destroyed by this disease. Reports have come In from other sec? tions showing that the disease that Inlures our corn crop Is of \ital In? terest, and every farmer should know enough about such a disease to en? able him to recognize It when he nies In contact with It, and to en? able him to 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 ? aaractortatlc, At Iba time the earn Im ?ins to ripen, the hi'sks on the dis? eased tars turn premutttvely yellow. Later, they assume a nettled or blackish appearam and seem to Stick v.-ry elnat to the ears. When the n.isks are nulled back from such ear*, i lie grains will be found to be hrtveled and Immature and the ear will be noticeably decreased In Weight. Later, the ?ralns appear Very brittle and frequently assume a brownish color. At this stage the whole eaf Is usually overrun with I whit.- looking mold. When the dls anaed ?-ars are broken across .small bl;nk fruiting bodies of the fungus Will bo found on the tips of the grains and in the eoK This to* Is >< d by a parasitic fungus, Dtplodea maydla Studies of the life history of the fungus recently mad.- at the Wbraska and Illinois Experiment stations show that the fungUI llvei over winter on tin- dis? eased ears and stalks which ;?re loft In the Ii? id. it spreads from these to the new com the following season tt I he Ihne th" Corn is In silk and taaael. The Infection takes place through the silks, it the weather conditions are favorable f..r the de? velopment Of the fungUS at this stiiK-' the disease spread! very rapidly. .\t the Illinois Station the fungus bus been found to ll\.i the old corn bilks in the fold for two years, and in some eases for three years. They recommend thai the corn stalks be removed from the geld and destroyed and that a rotation be prai tlced w hl< h e in keep corn off of tie- land for two \.;ir^ it seems that such measures would eliminate the disease I have In mind one COM in this State, however, where the disease has done considerable damage In tie- face of such rotation, so it seems thai aoms further data are. needed before we can give definite measured for con? trolling the disease. In this con? nection it is well to keep in mind the fact that removing the corn stalks from the field eliminates one of the principle sources of Infection for the next season. This emphasizes the ad? vantage to be gained by cutting and shredding the corn. As ntated above, however, we need more data which will apply to Southern methods and conditions In order to secure in? formation, we need co-operation. We are pushing this investigation now and are asking that every one who has the disease In his field will write us about it and send us specimens. \V> have on hand a number of frank? ed tags which will bring specimens through the mall free of cost, and we will be glad to send these to anyone (t \siring to sand such specimens. Where cases seem to warrant It. we will be glad to visit fields where the disease is causing trouble and look Into the conditions prevailing there.

Columbia, Oct. 7.?The letter of J National Committeeman John G. Ca- j pers to certain Republicans, sug? gesting a State convention to be held | in Columbia soon, is taken here to mean that an effort will surely be made to rid from the organization j not only the black element, but also thoas white men who have affiliated | with the negroes to a large extent. It is freely predicted that J. W. Tolbeit and bis following will lose out, and that the organization will be made over anew. It is believed that instructions have come Prom Washington to form a so-called lily-white Republi? can party, as has Keen done in Ala? bama, North Carolina and other States. Republicans are of the opin? ion that, with a resectable organi? sation, the ranks will be recruited with Democrats. To be sure some Demo? crats would join the party, and in time the organization might be made formidable in South Carolina affairs. In the meantime the efforts of Captain Capers to perfect his organ? isation will be watched with inter? est. Good Price for Cotton. To The Dally Item: in a recent issue of one of our dally papers appears quotations of the price of cotton for that day In several of the besl cotton markets In the State suggesting comparisons with other towns purporting to have a live market. Buch comparison it behooves some Bummertonlan to make, for it can not be disputed that sellers can get upon ,?nr local mar? ket as fancy a price as is to he had anywhere in the State. on Tuesday, the day of the above men? tioned quotations, large bus sold ror 13 i-4 which was <>n :i parity with the b"st markets of the State, ami in many Instances several points above. Yesterday 13 r?-s was the prevailing price. Although our mar? ket has for the past several years been comparing favorably with neighboring markets, Increased com? petition has m id.? this season's prices so far remarkably good. The three chief exporting houses on the Atlantic Coast are represented here: l>r. w. \\ Anderson, Bprunt's representative here for the past i l year.:, is still "on his Job," \v. i> McClary repre? sents Rodgers-McCabo A Co. and Mr Oscar Smith is handling limit /or.J&ayLad*v & Co. Wich three . dent buyers on hand to fight each for bis share of the offerings, it can readily be seen that the top of the market can always be had in Sum merton. Summerton, S. C. Oct. 6. Harmon Opens the Fight. So far Juds.m Harmon is the only Democrat who has received the in? dorsement of his state for the presi denncy of the United States. There are other prominent Demo? crats who may become presidential possibilities. So far the sentiment of the country seems to favor Harmon. ; and he has opened the. Democratic j light in Ohio. His future depends, politically, up- j on his re-election in the Buckeye State. The concentrated forces of the Republican national committee have \ ecu centered upon him. lie will be defeated if the Republicans | can accomplish his defeat. They real- , ize that his re-election as governor will practically mean his nomination by tin' national Democratic conven? tion. The nomination once made, his election will be practically deter? mined. It is the beginning of a Democratic day. As the time draws near there will be a further display of public scntinoiit. The Republicans have been in office long enough. They have abused the confidence of the people. They have used the admin? istration, nol for the people, but to advance the interest of the corpor? ations of the country. it was V.inderMIt who said the people he damned. The Republican party has accepted tin suggestion of lhe capitalist. The peoplt have been damned with neglect. Each con? gress appropriates a billion dollars, which the people are taxed to pay. The false talk of reform, retrench no nt and economy la all so much rot. The Republicans are gllb-tongued, prior elections but they lavish the taxpayers' money In foolish ways al? ter the ballot, are counted. Ohio promises to be the battle ground, it win be the scene of the early light between the Republicans and Democrats, it is the home of President Taft. it will affect his chances f->r the renominatlon if the state goes Democratic, it will mean his ultimate defeat. Realizing this, the financial support of the Repub? lican corporations has been solicited and the campaign fund will be the largest ever expended In the slate T/he Republicans feel that the only way that Victory can DC Won is by the lavish expenditure of money. ;..c. with thiF extensive u$e oi money it is doubtful whether Har? mon can be defeated. He is a bold, sincere and honest man. His administration has bpea a business-like and successful one. Be* has the confidence of the people. When a man is respected and hi* ad? ministration can not be criticised It requires more than money to accom? plish his defeat, and in this instance the fight which he has so fearlessly opened will no doubt be a victorious | one for his party and for himself. ?Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
