COTTON WILT.

Cotton wilt is becoming more and more preva-
lent IN the State every year. 1t is disease SINH
lar to that attacking melons and tobacco in some
sections and is caused by the clogging of the cir
culation of the plant by minute organisms thus
causing it to wilt and die for the want of food
and water This disease has done a great deal of
damage in South Carolina, and the States to the
south of us, and has entered this State on the
southeastern side, ard is advancing northward up
the coast section.
The State Department OF agriculture -lerst-yr
conducted in Robson County, on the farm of Mr..
j. A. Thompson, near Lumberton, experiment
in cooperation with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, with view to obtaining one
more varieties of cotton which would withstand
this disease. The farm now owned by Mr.. Thomp-
son was sold two or three years ago at greatly
reduced price because of the prevalence of this
disease the land, which made it impossible to
grow cotton with any certainty. The experiment
was quite successful. Several varieties of cot
ton were found to be more or less resistant to the
disease, and one variety did all that could be ex-
pected from it. Five acres of this kind
planted, and the yield was at the rate of 1349
pounds per against 1917 for the kind be-
ing generally grown. The resistant variety of
cotton is strain of the old Jackson Limbless.
The only remedy for the disease is to grow cot
ton of this kind which will not be affected by the
disease.
We have limited quantity Of seed which
could put in the hands of people for experimental
use who are troubled with the wilt.

school at twelve years of age and never attended
school over three months any year. He began
active farming at the age of thirteen, first oper-
ating three plows, with two wage hands, and in a
few years assumed entire charge of plantation,
cultivating annually from 900 to 1,2OO acres of
land from that time to the present. He mar
ried in 1893 and has five children
Mr.. Jordan was first called into public life in
1898, being then elected to the Legislature of
Georgia, was reelected without opposition in
1900, and elected to the Georgia Senate in 1902.
He served as chairman of Committee on Agri-
culture in both House and Senate during the en-
tire seven years service, and voluntarily retired
from politics in 1908
1t was in 1900 that Mr.. Jordan began his work
for cotton farmers organizing the Southern Cot
ton Growers Protective Association in Georgia
and other cotton States that year. Of this or
ganization he was retained president until the
New Orleans Convention, January, 1905, which
originated the Southern Cotton Association caus
ing the dissolution of the old Association Mr.
Jordan was also elected First Vice-President of
the Farmers National Congress in 1901, and
elected president of that organization for two
years in 1908. He was also chosen State Director
of the Farmers Institutes in Georgia in 1908
and annually reelected to same position since
that time In this work he has been notably sue
cessful. In 1903 there were forty-four Institutes
with aggregate attendance of $4,000 farmers and
their wives and their daughters.
Mr. Jordan originated the call for the Cotton
Convention at Shreveport, La December 13
1904, to consider the cotton slump of December
3rd, and there prepared the plan with other lead
ers for calling the great New Orleans Conven-
tion, January 24-2e, 1905. Personally directing

the attendance of that convention and preparing
the plan of its work, he was honored with chair
manship of that convention, and later elected by
the convention as president of the Southern Cot
ton Association; not, however, without opposi-
tion to both POSITIONS He has recently visited
every cotton State in the South, delivering ad-
dresses almost daily and looking after the i'm
mense details of the movement and the work of
four different bureaus. Mr.. Jordan feels that
the New Orleans convention and association
has since January 26th saved the South more than
$25,OOO,O0O the advance in rrice of the cotton
unsold in the South at that time and as will be
seen from his letter in last weeks Progressive

success of this great movement.

A Curse or a Benefactor ?

If the greatest study of mankind is man, the
next greatest study is the soil; for upon the soil
depends the preservation of man.
If it is true that American agriculture is the
fundamental support of the American nation, it is
equally true that soil fertility is the absolute sup
port of American agriculture.
If he who makes two blades of grass grow where
but one grew before is public benefactor; then
het who reduces the fertility of the soil that but
one ear of corn grows where two have been grown
is a public curse-Cyril G. Hopkins.

HINES AND MINING
Things Going on Under Ground in
Various Localities.

A Salt Lake company has taken an
option on a number of mining claims
in Minnesota district, MOhave county.
and will at once commence operations
on them. The mines are copper and
the voins are hundreds of feet in
width. Samples of the big veins show
low grade in copper. but as the veins
carry values in gold and silver it is
thought they can be made to pay
handsomely. The properties have been
held for a number Of years by resi-
dents of Utah, who had yearly done
their annual assessments. Recently
Chloride people made a number Of 10
cations in the same district and an
attempt has been made to place them
Circumstances are favorable for that
section and embryo mining camps to
become a large producer of copper in
the near future

active in mining matters.

The house OF Barbara Fritchie was
not on the line of march. and it was.
therefore highly improbable that tiny
general. Union or Confederate, would
advance against it for the purpose of
shooting either her or her flag. War
i'm September. 1862. was too serious am
affair to waste shot on old ladies who
lived on side streets.
The real heroine of the flag Incl
dent was Il young woman, Mrs. Mary
Quantrille, who lived on Patrick street
According to the Testimony of reliable
persons who lived IN Frederick during
the war. this Mary Quantrille was one
of those young and ardent spirits who

were wont to say, will get us all kill

When the Confederatcs marched in
