Studying Cotton Wilt.

Mr. w. A, Orton, assistant pntholo-
gist in the department. Of agriculture
Mt Washington, was in Charleston re-
Gently. on his way &c Washington,
from trip through Georgia and Ala
bama, where ho has been arranging for
field experiments with the cotton wilt
disease, known also in South Carolina
rs "blight" and in other places as.
"black- heart"
Mr.. OrtOn has studied this disease in
the sea island cotton for three years.
1t was thought at on" time that it
would prove aserious .enace to cot
ton culture, but he says that danger is
now practically over. 1t has been
found possible to secure variety of
cotton practically immune to the wilt
disease by selecting seed from healthy
plants that have grown in oadly dis
eased fields. In every field attacked
by this wilt there may be found some
plants that have resisted it, though all
the other plan tsaround them have been
killed. Seed from these plants will
grow where any other cotton would
die, and Mr.. Orton believes that it is
possible for the planters themselves to
breed up resistant cotton Of any de-
gree of fneness Of staple desired. This
has been we'll demonstrated during the
past season by experiments carried on
by the department in cooperation with
the sen island planters.
Mr.. E. l.. Rivers, of James Island,
who was the first planter to make this
| selection of an immune cotton, has
been notably successful in his attempts,
and the department is hving seed
| grown by Mr. Rivers and others for
general distribution. especially in the
sen island cotton districts of Georgia
and Florida, where the wilt disease
causes much loss.
Mr.. Orton says that the wilt is gener-
ally prevalent in the upland or short
staple cotton in North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana, though it is generally
confined to sandy soils and Is not al
ways recognized by the farmers.
The problem of it's control is a very
serious one and must be undertaken by
the Government. as few farmers can
give the attention necessary FOR the Sc
lection of resistant variety in upland
cotton, which is more susceptible to the
disease than the sea island
The department of agriculture has
therefore begun experiments in sever
al States, but especially in Alabama
and South Carolina, with the aim of
developing variety of upland cotton
and not subject to the wilt disease. If
this can be done 1t will cave the cotton
planters hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
The department will endeavor to inn
prove the quality and productiveness
of the cotton at the same time, while
another branch of tho work. which
now promises great results, is the de-
velopmont of q long staple upland cot
ton. The experiments made at Colum
bia this year by Professor Webbel
have been full Of interest and value.
Mr.. Orton is engaged in the investl

A DEPARTURE IN SCULPTURE.
Mrs. Clio Hinton Huneker's Dainty
Statuettes Win Success.

Although Mrs. Clio Hinton Hume
ker's early work was entirely lifesize,
such as her portrait bust of Mrs
James Brown Potter, the bas-relief Of
Paderewski, and the statue Of Gen.
Fremont, for which she received S10,-
900 when she was about % years old,
her preference is now for small work,
dainty little statuettes in bronze
silver Or ivory.
These tiny statuettes are a new de-
parture in American sculpture, and
have created a distinct sensation.
They are so beautiful in design and so
expressive of the spirit Of the time
that would break down the barrier be-
tween the world of people and of ma
ture.
Mrs. Huneker is young, beautiful
American woman. who has studied in
Paris for the past four years with st.
Gaudens, Macmonnies and Louis Aurv.
She has always lived in an art atmo5-
phere. Her mother. Mrs. Howard
Hinton, was a sculptor of ability, and
her brother. Louis Hinton. is a we'll
known artist. Mrs. Huneker shares
her studio with her brother-in-law,
Roland Perry, whose work for the con-
gressional library is still fresh in
mind.
The studio is strictly worksh Up
with here and there rare bit Of
drapery or quaint old lamp that only
artists pick up. Work ends at
o'clock and tea is served An inter
esting group Of men and women are
sure to gather around the tea table,
and the hour that follows is one of
rare delight Sometimes Mrs. Hume
ker will sing, for she studied under
Nine. Cappiani, and has sweet voice.
Her statuettes are almost always
useful as well as ornamental. and a
tulip leaf on which reclines a slender
figure holding a long stemmed flower,
is used for candlestick. A hollow
seashell with the shadowy outline Of
mermaid resting on the edge is dish
for bon-bons, and an Aphrodite rising
from dull-green bronze sea serves as
paper-weight. Some of the smallest
of these ornaments are in silver AMI
gold and sometimes studded with
precious stones. They are full Of
poetry, and are delightfully."- original.
She prefers a small work to large,
because it is possible to work out al
inspiration at single sitting in mod
cling statue. With the small figures
in a few minutes the most fleeting
fancy that would wholly escape In the
interval between sittings, is caught
in the plastic material. The tiny
statuettes are first modelled in clay
and then cast in less perishable metal
