Holds Successful Meeting-MOney and
Poetry Freely Donated
The Ladies Missionary Society of
the Presbyterian church held social

Friday which was decided success
both socially aud financially. The
ladies had agreed to earn dollar and
present it at this meeting and tell
how they earned it. Fifty silver dol
lars were thus collected and there are
eighteen dollars promised by ladies
who were unable to be present.
Eleven dollars and a fraction was
taken in ten cent pieces at the door.
Refreshments were served and de-
lightful evening spent.
The feature of the occasion which
rendered it especially amusing was
the description oil the ways of earning
the dollars. Stoves were blackened,
-cisterns cleaned, boots shined, hair
cut. cooking done, fruit sold, stock
ings knit, and thousand other
things too numerous to mention.
One lady, whose blushing son stood
prominently out against the white
wall, said she earned her dollar
masking neckties for dudes" The
youth collapsed amid jeers and
taunts. Several of the ladies describ-
ed their method in verse, and by
promising to give no names we are
permitted to publish a few samples of
many excellent efforts Prizes were
offered for the best description given
and the poem entitled "Ah Met" re-
ceived the first prize, handsome
bouquet, the gift of Mr.. A. L. Har-
mon.

"ROot Rot"

, QUESTION. Il notice cotton stalks
whiting and dying in my field without
any apparent cause. On examination
/ find the roots rotten, and some with
white mould on them. What causes
this, and is there any remedy?
ANSWER disease is the root
rot. and is caused by fungus. This
disease has been carefully investigated
by the Texas Experiment Station. it be-
ing very prevalent In the central black
prairie lands of that state. Their re-
port demonstrates that all soils are
more or less subject to it, though it is
Of most common occurrence in lands
that are relentive of moisture and do
not drain off as they should. The COM
monty entertained opinion that only
certain soils develop this disease has
been entirely refuted, and it can and
does occur on almost every variety Of
soil. The fungus has been found on
plants only few inches in height. but
generally does not spread until the mid
die of June. or even later. when the
plants are blooming and fruiting. 1t is
thought by many planters that dry
weather checks this disease, and close
observation partially confirms this. The
fungus is nourished by the living sub.
stances of the roots, which after a time
die. and the plants thus deprived of
their means of support. wilt and die
also. Experiments at the Texas Station
have demonstrated that this disease can
not be remedied or checked by the appli.
cation Of any known substance to the soil
The only thing to do is to resort to ro-
tation of crops, planting the land that
is infected with the fungus. in such
crops as corn. wheat, millet or other
members of the grass family. and put.
ting it in cotton not oftener than once
in three or four years. Some weeds,
such as the rag. weed and cocklebur, are
subject to the attack Of this fungus. but
apparently only after they have been
injured mechanically. Alfalfa or lu-.
cerne is also subject to injury from this
fungus. Among trees the china berry
and paper mulberry are most subject to
this disease. though apple trees. elm,
silver maple and others are sometimes
attacked State Agricultural Depart

ing it. which have been so often pub.
lished, are carefully folio we'd, we may
calculate with moderate certainty on a
good yield. Asin all other marketable
crops, the skill which commands success
is as much in knowing how to sell the

ing at the south are so far superior to
the northern grown seed that there is a
good demand. among our truckers for
this fall crop. The spring. crop grown
from these seed is usually superior to
that grown from northern seed. The
keeping qualities of the fall potatoes
also make them very desirable. They
do not sprout in winter. We have kept
them all winter in hills precisely as
sweet potatoes are kept and with greater
certainty. Also when planted at the
same time they mature earlier than the
northern grown seed Another point
in their favor is that the superior vitality
of the southern grown seed enables the
plants to survive reverses in the spring.
A frost, which will ruin a crop
from northen seed, will only partially
injure the others. The stems are stouter
and stronger. 1t is important If the
fall crop is intended for seed that they
should be green when the frost kills the
tops. II allowed to mature before frost,
they will sprout too early. as the north
ern grown potatoes do. and thus lose

Winter Grass For Hay.

QUESTION. give me some in.
formation in regard to the best winter
grass to sow for hay. Something that
will not injure the land. How to pre-
pare and plant. My land is fresh, should
I take out the stumps and "grubs?"
ANswER.-There are several grasses
which might be sown for hay. but tax
ing everything into consideration I
should prefer to sow one of the legumi.
nous plants. such as crimson clover.
You not only get from it good crop of
hay, but you enrich your soil at the
same time. and the clover is ready for
cutting in time to make crop of
corn or cotton ON tho same land.
1t is somewhat difficult to cure, as it
natures in April, but that is the only
objection. Break your land as deep as
possible and harrow until it is thor.
oughiy pulverized. Apply and plow in
200 pounds cotton seed meal. 100
pounds muriate of potash and 100
pounds acid phosphate. Sow Is to 20
pounds of seed about the middle of
September in your county (Carroll) and
harrow in lightly. By all means take
out the stumps and "grubs" before at.
tempting to prepare the land. By fol-
lowing directions you should take off a
