every precaution possible to pre-
serve that field in its present unin-
fected condition. With the present
scarcity of watermelons, and the
promise of a still greater scarcity in.
the future, the value of unaffected
fields rises rapidly.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
It is the desire of the Station to
do everything possible to assist the
watermelon growers in combating
this disease. To this end we desire
to know where, and how abundant,
this disease is at present, and ask
that every grower who is affected
with the wilt, write to the Station,
stating the amount of damage, and
what he knows of the history of the
disease in his region. Pull up a d.
seased plant and cut off the runners
about three inches from the root and
send with your letter this root with
the stubs of the runners on it.

Fodder Pulling.

In the slavery days when labor was
cheap, and methods of utilizing waste
products was unknown, there was a
reason in pulling fodder. Now there
is absolutely none. The only thing
to be said in its favor is the excel
lence of well-cured fodder as a stock
food. Fodder pulling is hard work
and hot work. It must be crowded
into a short period of time, for fod-
der d~eteriOrates every day after
reaching its maturity. It must be
taken up promptly, for even a heavy
dew on wilted fodder will injure it,
and the whole labor expended will be
lost if a shower vets it. It is thence
forth ruined and worthless. Pulling
fodder especially cuts off the yield
of corn in weight. It checks the
growth of the plant by removing its
lungs and exposing the stalk before
the ear has ripened. Who would
think of pulling the leaves off his
strawberries when the fruit is just
turning? The same farmer who
pulls his fodder complains bitterly
when the caterpillar eats the leaves
of his cotton. But the caterpillar
is doing for his cotton just what he
has done for his corn. =
What. then, shall the farmer lose
his fodder? By no The shred
der has solved that problem for the
Southern farmer.
At the North where corn is plant
ed closely and the stalks are small,
they cut stalkaHd all and shock it
in the field, to be hauled in later in
the season. After the ears are re-
moved the remainder, called stover,
maks an excellent food for cattle.
Southern corn grows too large for
that, but the shredder tears it to
pieces SO that stalk, fodder and
shucks are turned out ready for the
stock to begin chewing on it at
once.
Every farmer who plants so acres
in corn will find it economy to have
a shredder.
Small farmers can either combine
to own n or hire their shredding
done. It will cost less than to pull
the fodder and lose the stalks

German papers say the mule will
probably be replaced in the TWEEN
tieth century by a more efficient ami
NAL, as it has been demonstrated that
the mule, the cross between horse and
donkey, is inferior to the cross be-
tween horse and zebra. Formerly
the opinion prevailed that the zebra
was almost extinct. The opening up
of Africa, particularly the eastern
part, reveals these fine animals in
large numbers.

EASY SCIENCE STUDIES FOR
FARMERS.
XXI.-PhosphOric Acid.

Of course you knew phosphoric
acid would come next. The average
Western farmer has less interest in
phosphoric acid han the Eastern
farmer and the farmer who buys
commercial fertilizer. The New
Highlander depends largely upon
"phosphates," his soil being poor In
this respect, while, generally speak
ing, Western soil still has a fair sup
ply of phosphoric acid.
Confning this talk to a brief out
line of what phosphoric acid is and
does, we leave the moral to the
reader.
The element of all the "phos-es'
is phosphorus. The ancients called
the morning star "Phosphor," and
the name was then applied to the
substance which glowed in the dark,
familiar examples of which we see in
the glow wrom, the FREELY, matches
and the beautiful phosphorescent
light in tropic seas. Phosphoric
acid is the plant food form of this
element and it is found naturally IN
the soil, about $500 pounds to the
acre in the top nine inches of good
arabic land. Much of this is not sol
uble nor available for plants, and
often a dressing of but fifty pounds
to the acre of superphosphates in
creases productiveness.
One-half pound of this important
constituent of plants is found in
every bushel of wheat, one-third in
every bushel of corn, and two-thirds
of a pound in every bushel of corn
and the stalks and leaves. It makes
grain where nitrogen makes rank
growth of foliage. For every five
pounds of phosphoric acid in cows
milk, there will be sixteen pounds in
the manure.
The general term "phosphates" is
given to the commercial forms. A
phosphate is a combination of phos-
phoric acid with some other sub
stance usually lime. In nature it is
found in bones, bone deposits or
rocks. The supply in this country
comes largely from phosphate de-
posits near Charleston, S. c., in Flor
ida, Georgia and Tennessee. Most
of it is insoluble and is in this state
even when washed, dried and ground,
available for plant support only as
it decays. AS it decays slowly,
planters usually get quick returns
by using superphosphates. This pro-
duct is made by mixing sulphuric
acid with pulverized phosphate. This
liberates the phosphoric acid and
renders it Immediately available.
Phosphates are needed in making
brain and nerve tissues and a sufi-
Gent quantity of this element should
be eaten by man as well as fed to
stock.-Colman's Rural World.

OTHER SUGGESTIONS

The practice of raising watermel-
ons before COW peas leads to the
presence of some watermelon vines
in the COW pea hay, and this like
wise leads to the presence of germs
in the compost heap. Such manure
should never be placed on land which
is still free from the germ, or which
is to be used to raise watermelons
on, as this is an almost sure way of
spreading the wilt.
There is no objection to the use Of
stable manure which does not con-
tain the fungus, but experience has
shown that when the wilt once gains
entrance to the compost heap or
barn yard, that it remains there for
years, and all of the n taken
out of such a yard will be likely to
spread the disease. Hence it is ex-
ceedingly dangerous in regions
where there is any possibility of the
wilt, to use any stable on the
field where you intend to plant mel
Ons.
The outlook for the melon indus
try is not encouraging, and the treat
ment that can be recommended for
this disease is not very promising,
but for this very reason it is all the
more evident that any person who
still possesses an unaffected field,
should exercise the greatest care with
his tools, cattle, manure, and take

restriction of the disease to it's
present confines.
REMEDIES
REMEDIES

DhMhD1hS
First. Rotate your crops. You
may grow anything else that you
wish on this land, but do not replant
1T to watermelons until you are sure
that the watermelon wilt germ in the
soil is dead. This will probably take
more than four years, and even at
the end of that time you had best
try it with a few hills before plant
ing the whole field to melons.
Second. Remove and burn all di-
seased plants. This will prevent the
formation of a very great number
of spores, and thus diminish the con-
tagion. Go into your diseased field
and pull and burn all diseased plants
as soon as you see them. If your
whole field is diseased, pull and burn
all melon plants in order to prevent
their spread by the wind, and to pre-
vent them from passing into the hay
crop, and thus injecting your ma
nure for next year.
Third. Dc not allow cattle to pas
ture on diseased vines and thus
spread it through the manure.
Fourth. Clean your tools so as not
to carry the germs from infected
fields to unaffected fields. Remove
the dirts from all the tools. A tea
spoonful of dirt may contain thou
sands of germs.
Fifth. Do not use any manure
which by any possible means may
have been contaminated with the
watermelon wilt. The manure may
be contaminated in two ways: first,
by trash from the field being thrown
on the compost heap. Second, by
feeding to the stock COW pea hay in
which there may be traces of dis
eased watermelon, leaves, stalks,
roots, fruit, etc, the germs passing
through the COW into the I'M
injured.

GREAT damage to the watermelon in
dustry in North Carolina this year,
cntting down seriously the amount
Of fruit raised, and in many cases re-
ducing the crop to absolutely moth
ing. Whole fields present but a mass
Of dead vines. The present year
shows the disease in a much more de-
structive form than this State has
known it before, although the story
is old in many of our sister Southern
States, where the raising of melons
has to be largely abandoned.
The disease cannot be cured, nor
can it be wholly prevented, yet with
proper precaution it's spread into
fields not now infected can be re-
tarded or entirely avoided.
The wilt is readily recognized from
the fact that the leaves first droop,
as though they were suffering from
want of moisture, rapidly wilt and
soon die, the runner dying with the
leaves. Soon the whole plant is dead.
Upon cutting the main tap root
across near the surface of the ground
such plants are found to present a
yellow color, making a distinct con
trast with the white color of the
healthy plants. This one character
taken together with the wilted ap-
pcarance of the vine, will enable any
one to recognize the true watermelon
wilt.
WHAT THE DISEASE Is
This disase is caused not by in
sccts, but by a very small micrOscop-
ic germ. a fungus, which lives in the
soil. 1t is so small that millions
may exist in one teaspoonful of soil.
This germ is able to live in the soil
for some considerable length of time.
Therefore if your field suffers from
the wilt this year, it would be folly
to plant that field to melons again
next year or year after. 1t must be
abandoned for the culture of melons
until the germ in the soil dies. How
long that will take is not yet certain.
The germ has been known to live in
the soil for four years after water
melons had ceased to be raised there.
1t will be seen from this that there
Is very little hope of ever getting
rid of this disease when it is once i'll
a field. 1t therefore behooves us to
give especial care to prevent the .di-
sease from spreading into fields
which are not yet diseased.
The spread of the disease may oc-
cur in the following ways:
Cd Soil which is removed from Il
diseased field into another field, for
example by washing, or by tools, may
carry these germs with it. This
would indicate that tools should be
thoroughly cleaned before being car
med from the infected field to the
healthy fields.
