are not necessary TO infection. though
plants weakened by root-krot may sue
cumb more quickly to wilt. The fun
gus penetrates the vascular system
of the root and grows upward into
the stem. During the life of the host
plant the fungus is mainly confined to
the vessels.
Liberal provision is made for the re-
production and spread OF this fungus
through four different spore forms,
also illustrated in figure 5. The first,
or microconidia (b), are small, color
less spores borne on the mycelium
within the vessels. The second. or
macroconidia (a), are larger, sickle
shaped, or Fusarium spores and are
borne in great numbers on oblong
pink cushions on the outer bark OF
the stem after the plant dies and the
fungus grows outward from the YES
sells. These two spore forms are short
lived, but serve to spread the fungus
widely under favorable conditions.
The third form, or chlamydospore (c)
is produced on the outside OF the plant,
mainly in the soil. II is thick walled
and withstands drying or other un'
favorable conditions. The fourth is
a perfect stage, or ascospore (e).
These ascospores are developed in
sacs, or asci, within bright red, pear
shaped pedithecia (d) on the bark OF
decaying cotton roots. Although visi'
BILE to the unaided eye as red bodies

cia are difficult to find in the field
as they are not abundant except al
a certain stage in the decay OF the
root.
. Influence Of FuneieIdes on Wilt.
Soil from an infected field contains
the wilt fungus, and the cotton plant

If, however, such soil were sterilized

COUNTY NEED NOT PAY.
Judge Goodland Rules That Cities and
Towns Must Settle Medical Bills
Of Pauper Patients.

APPLETON, Wis, Jan. 17.-[Spe-
cial. IA decision handed by Judge John
Goodland in circuit court yesterday is of
Importance to every city and county in
the state, inasmuch as he has held that
in no case is the county liable for the
expense incurred in the treatment of
smallpox or other contagious diseases,
but that it is the duty of the city phy-
stefan to care for the patient, if he is Il
pauper, without extra charge.
The case results from the affair of an
Indian child, Frank DENNY, which was
brought from Milwaukee to the Chill
dren's Receiving home in July, 1905,
and soon afterward came down with
smallpox. The home physician notified
the city physician, DIR. Robert Leith, who
removed the baby to the pest house and
later sent a bill to the city council
amounting TO S215.17. The bill was for
$40 a visit for twenty-one calls and So
per day for nurse, So for provisions.
The council paid the bill and then tried
to collect it from the county. The coun-
ty board refused to pay and the city
brought suit to recover the amount.
For years it had been the custom for
cities to pay the city physician $40
when treating a smallpox case and in
turn collect the amount from the county
Judge Goodland holds that it is the
duties of the cities, villages and towns 10
take care of their own patients and that
the city physician can not collect extra
compensation for the same.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

Worse - Parents Discouraged
Cuticurn Drove Sores Away.


Our little girl, one year and Il half
Old, was taken with eczema or that
was what the doctor called it. We took
her TO three doctors. but by this time
she was nothing but yellow, green
iSh sore. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of her
eyes. Doctor No. 8 said that we had
better take her to some eye specialist
since it was an ulcer. SO we went to
Oswego to doctor No. f. and he said the
eye$ight was gone. We were nearly
discouraged, but l thought we would
try the Cuticura Treatment, so l pur-
chased set of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me 81, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. OF course it could not
restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye. Mrs.
