JUST AS EASY

It's as easy to wear a smile as a
frown, it's harder to cry than to laugh;
it takes no more time to cheer than 20
jeer, It's as easy to praise az to chan.
It's just as much work To knock Or to
boost, it's as easy TO heal as to hurt;
there's lust as much Joy In lauding q
man as In dragging his name in the
dirt. So do you by others as you'd be
done by, helping hand ready to lend
II you make others happy whenever
you can you'll be happy yourself in the
end.

II is very difficult to estimate the
tctal loss from cotton wilt The in
jury varies from the death of a few
plants to the destruction of hundreds
of acres. Several factors are to be
considered in estimating the loss. We
must add to the actual shortage Of
the crop in the spots where the cot
ton dies: U) A diminished yield of the
surrounding cotton due to the dwarfing
of the plants from partial infections;
on account OF the necessity of plant
ing on infected land some less profit
able crops as corn, or of throwing
cotton out of cultivation altogether;
CD the increased cost OF cultivation
Of wilt-infected spots due to the foot
hold obtained by crab-grass, nut-grass,
cockleburs, and other weeds, after the
death of the cotton; (D a deprecia-
ton in the market value OF within
fected land.
Wilt first appears in the latter part
Of May or in June, when the young
cotton is 8 to IL inches high. 1t is
most prevalent during June and July,
but some cases continue to develop
until the end Of the season.
The appearance Of a cotton plant
attacked by wilt varies somewhat, de-
pending on the age of the plant and
the severity of the attack. Some plants
wilt suddenly and die almost in a
day; others pass through intermediate
stages, with leaves slowly turning
yellow, especially around the margins
and between the veins. and fall OF.
Often a branch near the ground makes
considerable growth and partially re-
covers, producing dwarf, bushy
plant.
The most characteristic symptom OF
wilt is a browning OF the woody por'
ton of the stem and root. These dis
colored parts are the water-carryine
vessels which have become obstruct

fungus causing the disease.

The Story
of Loyal
BY Inez Harrington Whitfield.
Copyright, by Ford Pub. CO..


Although Loyal was not a small dog
his stubbornness was disproportionate-
ly large. Moreover he had the advan-
tage of most men, including his mas
ter. in always knowing his own mind.
One October day the air breathed
into Loyal's soul a challenge for a
stroll, and as the family was very un-
interesting while unpacking after a
summer spent in Europe, he unhesi-
tatingly accepted the challenge and
walked out OF the open door.
For several blocks he walked behind
a girl with yellow brown hair, whose
gown, hat, gloves and shoes were the
shade of his own coat. II may have
been sense of harmony of colors. or
IL may have been just dog sense that
led him to walk nearer the girl. finally
pushing a cold nose into the hand
hanging loosely at her side.
He must have known that she would
neither start nor cry out. She only
looked down at him with pleased sur
prise and closed her hand tightly over
his nose.
Good morning. you handsome dog!
You seem to know your admirers at
sight wonder who your master is?'
The briskness of their pace soon
brought them TO Madison avenue and
Forty-second street, where the girl in
brown, after patting her companion
on the head and addressing numerous
fiattering remarks to him, boarded a
west-bound car. Looking back she
saw the dog gazing reproachfully after
her.
All that day. Katherine Raymond
found her mind wandering TO the fine
st. Bernard who had Joined her early
morning walk. She would have been
astonished had she realized how often
in the following days she thought OF
him, pondering his act. his name and
his home. Four days passed and
Wednesdays outdoor beauty prevailed
upon Katherine. who, dressed in brown
as usual, went forth to enjoy a walk
The avenue was noisy, although ap
parently deserted, so she turned

toward Madison, and. rounding the
corner, met Loyal. whonearly knocked
her down by his joyful recognition
He soon grew calm-except for his
tail-and marched proudly by her side,
with frequent long upward looks into
her face, which was turned toward
him as often as might be.
At the end of mile, they turned,
seemingly of one accord, and retraced
their steps.
The girl and the dog, so alike in
color attracted considerable attention,
OF which both were wholly uncon-
scious.
At the steps of her home Katherine
discovered that she had a problem to
solve, for her four-footed escort ap-
peared astonished at her inhospltable
hesitation, and strongly indicated his
desire TO enter, showing by many
signs his natural stubbornness, even
lifting up his voice to emphasize 1t.
Perhaps" whispered Katherine,
you are a lost dog" and for the first
- time she thought of his collar Bend.
ent f4ig she read: Loyal, 20 West -
ccopvstreet" The address given was so
her inclination, she decided to leave
him outside and watch whether he
went in the right direction. This he
did, but not until an hours patient
waiting had satisfied his mind that his
new friend was capable of disappont
ing him, that she was not coming
forth again, nor was he expected to
follow her inside.
Scarcely morning passed that free
ing himself from the company of his
master and his masters family, he did
not make an attempt, with only oc
casional success, to visit Katherine
When he was not made welcome he
seemed to realize that there was some
good reason for it and went away
cheerfully.
Late one afternoon, on cofd and
windy day, Katherine was returning
home. Down the avenue came fright
ened horse, madly plunging from side
to side in useless endeavor to escape
the mass OF vehicles. A. tiny chile
broke from his nurses hand anC

street 7 ~ 5tft
Katherine rushed for the child. A
huge yellow dog plunged through ths
crowd of pedestrians and dashed tt
the side of the girl, pulling her from
under the horses, at the same instant

Resistance to witt.

The standard varieties OF cotton
differ considerably in susceptibility to
wilt. but none of them are sufficiently
resistant TO be cultivated with profit
on infected land. Extended variety
tests on infected fields have shown
