avs Your PtMhM and Plums From
Thlo Oootruotlvo DUmh.
Clemson College.?-Brow? rot at
pMch and plum is on# of the moot
widespread and das true tire diseases
of fruit that we hare to conteud with
In many cases the entire crop la destroyed
Just as the fruit begins to
ripen. Practically every orchard In
South Carolina is Infected with it and
while It la widespread and very destructive,
It is at the same time easy
to control, according to Director H.
W. Barre, of the South Carolina Experiment
Station, by spraying with
lime-sulfur.
There are numerous commercial
brands of lime-sulfur on the markst
and some of these have been tested
by careful experimenters and found
to be very satisfactory. The ordinary
eommsreial lime-sulfur solution has
been used at the rate of one
part to eighty parts of water
with fair success. This mixture
will control brown rot. Sometimes,
however, and under certain
conditions of temperature and humidity,
it destroys a certain percentage
of the foliage. The safest and best
mixture to use is the home-made selfboiled
lime-sulfur mixture, made as
follows: Use 8 lbs. of fresh quick
lime and 8 lbs. of sulfur (flour )to 60
gals, of water. Make this up by placing
the eight pounds of fresh lime in
a tub or barrel and add Just enourh
water to alake It An excess of water
, seems to drown the lime and retards
the slaking process. As soon as the
lime begins to crumble apart and a
- -violent boiling Is set up, add eight
-pounds of sulfur and stir In thoroughly,
adding enough water to keep any
part of the mixture from becoming dry
or burning. Keep this well stirred
and allow the boiling to continue for
6 to 10 minutes. Special care should
be exercised at this time to keep any
part of the mixture from becoming
dry. Enough water should be added,
in fact, so that the paste Is thin
enough to be easily stirred. After the
boiling has continued 5 to 10 minutes
enough water sholud be added to cool
the mixture.
The trees should be sprayed two to
three weeks after the shucka drop,
and again at Intervals of from two to
four weeks until the fruit begins to
ripen.
OAT SMUT.
Easy Control Measures Prevent Orcat
Loss.
Clemson College.?Oat Smut is the
most widespread and destructive dlsease
of small grain. It frequently occurs
as a serious disease wherever
oats are grown if proper control measures
are not practiced, This disease
alone reduces the production of outs
In this Stkte by at least 10 per cent,
and In some fields there are losses as
high as 60 per cent, which can easily
be prevented by inexpensive seed
treatment, says J. L. Seal, Extension
Service plant pathologist.
Thla diaeaae la cauaed by a (lingua
which growa within the the tlnauea of
the plant. The aporea germinate
about the aame time that the young
oat planta come up, and the fllamenta
of the fungua remain alive la the oat
planta without apparently caualng any
aerioua damage until the planta begin
to head in the apiing. It then concentratea
ita efforta In the oat heada
and fllla up the placea where the
gralna ahould form with the black,
aooty maaaea of Ita aporea.
Aa theae maaaea of aporea break up.
they are acattered by the wind to all
parta of the field. Many of them lodge
on healthy heada of oata In the field,
while othera are lnfeated in the threahIng
operation; but in both caaea the

planted in the fall.
Seed for planting ahould nod he

Even If a field ia praetlcally free of

STEM-END ROT OF WATERMELON.
Clemson College.?This disease is
comparatively new, but ft causes a
serious loss of melons In transit.
There was a loss of 2,500 carloads of
melons shipped from the southeastern
states last summer, due entirely
to this disease. It Is seldom found In
the field and the shipper Is often astonished
that 40 to 00 per cent of his
melons rotted in transit, when at the
time of shipping they nre apparently
' In *ood condition.
The stern-end rot fungus is common
on ripe or dying vegetation In and
around melon fields, especially on
cotton and corn stalks and old melon
vines. These become covered with
black fruiting bodies of the fungus In
which countless spores are borne and
from which they are scattered by the
wind. When a melon Is cut from the
vine, a drop of sap exudes from the
cat stem and provides Ideal conditions
for Infection. The knives and hands
or workmen are often carrier* or infection.
and thus perfectly healthy
melona may become diseased.

Clem son College.?The farmers of
the southeastern states Lave not yet
come to appreciate ttao value of soybeans,
a* a soil Improver, us a food
(or muit, or as a (sad (or animals, says
Prof. (Iilbeart H. Colllngs, o( the
Agronomy Division. The soybean In
one of the most promising legumes of
the South, and surely the South needs
to grow legumes mors than any other
group n( plants. In order that the
southern fanner may socure larger
and more profitable yields, the nitrogen
and the organic matter of the
soil must he built up. This can be
done profitably only through the use
of legumes in our rotations.
The soybean, sometimes called the
Boja bean, soya bean, or stock pea,
was introduced into this country from
Japan during the latter part of the
twentieth century. Altho It Is not a
native, the soil and cllmutic conditions
of the southeastern states are Ideal
for Its development. It Is an annual
plant of upright growth, producing
large yields of both hay and grain.
At the present time soybeans are
more profitable to the average farmer
than peanuts, and when used to turn
under are equal pound per pound of
organic matter and nitrogen to cow
peas, vetch, and other legumes. They
are hetter Tlelders than rnwttnnu
when planted in rows and cultivated..
They grow earlier In the spring and
later in the fall and are more rnsiHtant
to drought, heat, and froat than
cowpeae.
Ah a grazing crop for hoga soybean*
are among the beat An a hay crop,
altho Homewbat coarse, they are much
relished hy livestock. The feeding
value of the hay compare* very favorably
with alfalfa hay. Aa a green
manuring crop they add both organic
mntter and nitrogen to the aoll. A
teat conducted by the Connecticut
Agricultural Rxperiment Station
found that from 100 to 135 pounda of
nitrogen wan returned to the aoll each
year when the crop waa uaed for thin
purpose.
There la an ever Increasing demand
for the seed, wh'ch are now being
iiaed for a large variety of purposes
One of the principal demands comes
from the oil mills. The soybean seed
are very rich In oil, one bushel yielding
on an average one gallon of oil
when pressed. For these reasons the
acreage planted to soybeans each
year la steadily Increasing and should
cortlniM) bo Increase for some consld
emble time to come.
The preparation of the need hpd
Is the same as the preparation
of the seed bed for cotton. How
ever, a thorough preparation must be
emphasised, for by giving the plants
a good start a long step has been
made toward the successful production
of the crop. The plant reacts
readily to fertilisers, especially to the
application of phosphatlc fertilisers.
Some potassium can be applied profitably

$
I Clemson College.?The cotton plant*
of th? 1918 crop were perhaps more 8
generally Infented with red aplder t

I who planted cotton laat year had borne
J trouble with the red spider. It la r "
pest that every cotton farmer ahould c
know at thin time,
j Shall the 1919 cotton crop be Infeat
ed with thla pest? Thla depends
principally on the Individual farmer
The fields should be closely watched
from the time the cotton la thinned
! until the picking begins. With the
first appearance of the red spider,
work should begin and be done thoroughly?as
long as Is necessary to get
the red spider under control.
I The following are some of the measures
to.adopt In controlling red spider:?

RED CROSS NURSE
IS COMING HERE
Public Health Nursing and Home
Hygiene Instruction Part of
Peace Time Program.
SPEAKS AT CHAUTAUQUA.
"Nuru the Most Needed Woman In the
World," 8aya Mies Jane A. Delano,
Director of the*Department of Nursing
of the American Red Cross.
To place the public health on a
higher plane than It hus ever been Is
the object of a national program undertaken
by the American Ited Cross
us pMrt of Its peace time plan. From
coast to coast and from lake* to gulf
the Ited Cross is spreading the gospel
of good health and of the proper care
of the sick by fostering the study and
practice of nursing, both by organized
public heulth activities and by members
of the family in every home, j
Through the Chautauqua en official
representative of the Red Cross Department
of Nursing will soon tell the
people of this community the story of
what Is being done and will ask their
co-operation.
Due of the great lessons of the world
wur Is found In the unnecessarily low
siandurds of physicul health revealed.
This was brought out most forcibly in
I lie greut number of rejections of
young men called to the colors under
the Selective Service law. Records
show that throughout the United
Slates one-third of the young men examined
for uiilllury service were dismill

country through minor physical defects,
a large proportion of which
might have been avoided by compulsory
hcIiooI examination and proper
medical and nursing care.
, Urgent Need of Nurses.
Portlier proof of the general urgent
need of women trained In nursing was
supplied by the epidemics of Spanish
Influenza that have caused terrific
loss of life and suffering throughout
the country. Hundreds of thousands
of persons died, and In many communities
the plugue spread without any
ndequate means of checking It because
of the Impossibility of obtaining women
capable of caring for the victims.
Reports show that many persons uctuully
died without attention because
the overworked doctors could not
reach them all, nurses could not he
found who knew what to do, and
neighbors feared to go neur the help
less patients.
The uselessness and danger of such
a waste of "human power" Is only too
apparent, for the health and strength
of a nation can only he measured by
the health and strength of Its people.
Recognizing the fs?*t that the crux of
the whole situation lies In gl\lng every
community the means of building up
Its own nursing strength, the Amerl
can Red Cross, In co-opemtlon with
the vurloua < 'huutauquas, Is send I lie
broadcast the message that none can
afTord to Ignore.
Phases of Public Health Nuralng.
Public health nursing Includes inanv
phases, such us bedside nursing, In
which the nurse islts the patients
and gives them hourly care as necessary;
school nursing; care of expect
ant mothers, babies and amall clill
tlren ; work In factories and Industrial
centers; rural nursing, ami Inst rue
tlon In Red Cross courses, home hyrl
eno, home dietetics, care of the sl< k,
and various other forms of commu |
nlty service.
To all American women the Red
Cross sends thin message:
"If yon ure Interested In nuralii;:
as h profession, enter one of the (ruin
Ing schools far nursea, tnunv of whlrli
offer scholarships, and specialize In
public health work. If you are nl
ready a graduate nurse and anxious
to enter this Held, the Ked Croat* has

they will lie aide to maintain to the
highest degree Hie heulfh and to nurse
members of their household In time of

Throughout the length and breadth
of the land the American Ked Cross,
spreading the gos|>el of good health, is
sounding u call to American women to
adopt the study of nursing, either to
Join s profession which Is dally he
coming more highly valued or to fit
themselves for nursing In the home.
The Ked Cross lecturer soon i*? tipJ
