"The breeding grounds of stock cattle. said Mr. Wilson, "heretofore went to the cornfield to be finished by fattening of corn, can't furnish much more of fiat class of cattle.

The fungus boll rot of cotton, cot? ton anthracnose, seems to be especial? ly prevalent in this State this sea? son. A great many cases have been reported where the disease Is occur? ring in certain new varieties of cot? ton purchased from seed dealers and growers. W? have learned from our investi? gation here that anthracnose is car? ried fn the seed and, from a study of the outbreaks In the State, have found t iat the majority of outbreaks reported have been caused by plant? ing diseased seed. A number of new varieties of cot? ton grown in this State this season for the first time are badly diseased. In fact it seems that we get the ma? jority of our outbreaks of anthrac SjOSS from seed purchased from oth ? r States and especially from Georgia. One of these varieties, called the "half and half" seems to be diseased this season wherever grown. We ex? perience the same thing every year. Last year and the year before, Brown's No. 1, was affected in the same way. One gentleman from Georgia writes me that he sold seed to between five and six hundred farm? ers In this State last winter and spring. We have some of this same gentleman's cotton growing on the j Kxperlmcnt Station farm this season and if all the cotton grown fffOM the seed is as badly dLseased as that nted here, the distribution and sale >t this seed Is going to cost South i ollna farmers many thousands of ars. 1 received a letter recently i n a gentleman who writes as fol? lows regarding the same variety of ( cotton: ; "I have nine acres of it planted and after careful inspection by three dis? interested parties, they estimate that 76 p*?r cent of the bolls are rotten." Many other reports of a similar na? ture have been received during the past few weeks. We shall be very J glad to hear from all the farmers In i South Carolina who are suflering losw- | es from anthracnose caused by plant- i lng such seed. It seems that there is nothing that ' enn be gone about (he sale of thin dis eased seed now. but a strenuous effort will be made to prevent its recurrence. This kind of business has been go? ing on now for several years and it wus Just this year that we succeeded In getting a law pSBSSd which pre? vents the sale or transportation of seed for planting unless saoh ship? ment is accompanied by a permit is? sued by the South Caroling Crop Pest Commission, ''"hi.-.

His active experience in public af? fairs, of course, is limited to his two years Sf service as Governor of New Jersey, and if it is not long enough to satisfy, it at least stands the test of quality. Gov. Wilson has shown him? self a strong leader in his State and has reconstructed ita polities along advanced line*. It Is not too much to say that in the post two years he has leid in making over New Jersey from a State where privilege and per? sonal politics had sway to one where the fighfle of the people were respect? ed and where the people might be truly sahf to rule.
