The Pink Boil Rot
Prof. Glenn w. Hcrrick, Agricultural
College, Miss.

We have so many inquiries
regarding the pink boil rot, or
anthracnose OF cotton and it is
30 widespread and injurious
throughout the State that a
word on the subject in the Ga.
zette may be of considerable in.
terest and value to those who
have been troubled with it,
and to those who are liable to
have trouble with it. Now
il the time to get informa-
ton regarding cotton rot. which
may be used in reference to our
planting in the spring.
This disease affects the bolls
principally. 1t appears on the
bolls as suall specks, which
greatly resemble the puuctures
Of some insect. The spots grad.
ually become larger and larger
until they cover half or more OF
the boil. In this very character
the spots differ from the pune.
ture of an insect, because the
latter does not grow gradually
larger. At first the spots are
dark, but later they turn to a
pinkish color, which. however,
disappears into a dark brown
when the whole boil becomes al.
feeted aud decayed. The bolls
often break open along the sea ma
aud the lint aud seed. finally de.
cay, turn black, and dry up.
The young bolls usually shrivcl
when affected and never come to
maturity. Sometimes only a
quarter or a half OF a boil 10 af.
fected, but in this case il does
not open fully.
The affected bolls are almost
universally more or less infested
with small insects. The pres.
ence Of these and the small
brown spots resem bling insect
punctures have led many to
think that insects cause the dis.
ease, but this is not true. The
disease 10 caused by 4 minute
parasitic mold, or fungus some.
what similar 10 the smut on corn
or rust on oats. The insects
present in the decayed bolls are
there simply to obtain the de.
caying vegetable matter for
food. They do not precede the
disease or in anyway cause it. II

prnctures boil the wound may
serve a. a place OF entrance tor

were in Vermont less establishments
producing these three products than in
1900, less capital invested, fewer sal
aried officials, fewer wage-earners (but
more wages paid), greater miscellaneous
expenses and cost of materials, but, to
Offset all this, an increase in the value
of products Of little short of a mil
lion dollars. In 1908 the total value
was s6,41s,4a4. In spite of it, Vermont
drops two notches. New York easily
retains the first place in the amount Of
output, with total Of s3i,047,77s, while
Wisconsin also keeps the second place
and just bit behind New York; and
Iowa keeps thirds with little over If
teen millions. Illinois, which made q
smaller increase that Vermont, is stin
fourth, and Minnesota and Pennsylvania
come next
1t would not take long to explain the
reason Why Vermont has dropped from
seventh to ninth position in this purely
agricultural tabulation. The reason Is
found in the growing practice of Yer.
monters Of sending their milk and cream
direct TO the larger cities TO satisfy the
demand Of the consumer. just what pro.
portion Of milk goes direct from Yer.
mont to Boston and few other cities
would be difficult to estimate. but it is
certain that the amount is large. In
some cases special milk trains are run
to carry the product This business has
developed largely during the past few
years. 1t therefore in large measure
accounts for the decrease in the mum.
Der of creamery establishments and the
number Of men employed, there being -
less creameries now and 81 less employees,
with the consequent loss in standing of
the state in the output Of agricultural
products. But there is one satisfaction,
that If we are losing agriculturally, we
are gaining in the purely industrial pur-
suits, such IS quarrying and manufact.
uring.
