NESBlTT SAYS IT'S ROOT ROT.
COMMISSIONERS OPINION OF THE
COTTON KILLING DISEASE,
All Soils Are Subject to 1t, and ROta-
ton in Crops Is the Only REM
edy for 1t
edY for 1t

The NEWS of last week noted that
many Of the Terrell county farmers were
complaining of the cotton plants dying
from what was supposed to be the tlack
root. In neighborng counties the cot
ton is also dying from like cause, and
Hon r. T. Nesbitt, commissioner of ag-
riculture, has been requested to give his
opinion of the disease that is causing
such disaster to the crop.
In a letter to Mr.. F. B. Gregory, pub
lished in the Lumpkin Advertiser, Com
missioner Nesbtt gives his opinion of
what the disease is and the cause of it..
Commissioners Nesbitt's letter is as fol-
lows:
ATLANTA, GA, July Is, 1898.
Mr.. F. B. Gregory, Lumpkin, Ga. !:
Dear Sr-The disease is the root rot, -
and it is caused by fungus. This dis
ease has been carefully Investigated by
the Texas experiment station, il being
very prevalent in the central black
prairie lands of the state. The report
demonstrates that all soil is more or
less subject to it, though it is of most
retentiye Of moisture and not drained
off as they should be. The commonly
entertained opinion that only certain
soils develop this disease has been en-
tireiy refuted and can and does occur
on almost every variety of soil. The
fungus has been found on plants only a
few inches in height but does not gen.
orally spread until the middle of June or
even later when the plants are blooming
and fruiting. 1t is thought by many
planters that dly weather checks this
disease, and close observation partially
confirms this The fungus is nourished
by thu living substances of the root,
which after 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 cannot be remedied or
checked by the application of any known
substance to the soil. The only thing to
do is to resort to rotation Of crops,
planting the land that is infected with
fungus in such crops as corn, wheat
millet, or other members of the grass
family, and putting it in cotton not oft
ener than once in three or four years
Some weeds, such as the rag weed and
cocklebur, are subject TO this attack OF
fungus, but apparently only after they
have been injured mechanically. AL
falfa, or lucerne, is also subject to in-
jury from thisl fungus. Among trees,
the chinaberry and paper-mulberry are
most subject to this disease, though APP
pie trees, elm, silver maple and Others
are sometimes attacked. Yours truly
