tinued. The estimated annual loss in
Georgia is $14,500,000. A conserva-
tive estimate Of the loss of this State
would be from 100000 to $1,000
600 annually. In various other South
ern States the loss is equally as great,
or in some apparently greater. In
many cases here we find farmers los
ing from one-f fourth to one-half Of
their crops. 1t Gems that with the
results of this investigation at hand
IL is time to take some definite step
with the view of eradicating this dis
ease. This we are preparing to do
ana py cooperation with the various
other agricultural interests of the
state we hope that some plan can be
perfected which will accomplish this.
Inc remedy of course must be in the
form of a preventive. The seed are
| acting as distributing agent. First.
then, we must induce the farmer To
secure clean or disease free seed rr,,s
ne can do If he takes the trouble to
go into the field and pick only per-
| fectly healthy cotton for seed and
then have this ginned separately.
When he has secured disease free
seed in this way he must plant them
! on land which was not in cotton the
| previous year as the fungus lives over
winter in the Snil
ton of clean seed would not of itself
eadicate the disease. Our results
have shown that the fungus will not
| live in the soil or on the old diseased
bolls and stalks for more than a year
SO that with one years rotation and
| absolutely clean seed, it seems that
the disease can be eradicated.
You readily see, then, that COM
batting this disease is made compare
lively simple and by instituti1g these
practices every farmer in the State
could free his place of this dread dis
ease. In this connection it seems that
in the near future it will be necessary
to protect the farmers still further bv
having some sort of seed inspection
law which will prevent the shipping
into the State or the sale within the
State of seed which are diseased. BY
the enforcement of such a law. we
could compel those who are breeding
cotton and selling seed to put on the
market only seed which are free from
disease.
"The results Of this investigation
have been accommodating since the
work was begun, but are Just reach
ing the point where it seems advisable
to publish them. The work will be
published according to present ar
rangements in the experiement sta
tion report. which goes to press short
ly. In this illustrations and photo
graphs will be given, showing the va
rious phases of the life history of the
fungus. its method of infection, dis
tribution, etc. This seed phase of the
investigation we take pleasure in pre-
senting in popular way at present
with the hope that it will be of SER
vice to the farmers in making seed Sc
lectons this fall"

cess of the day by the Americans on

Now will some one tell US how
much longer we have to wait than
1913 years to see Laurens recognized
properly for his matchless services
history?
There Is no uncertainty about Laur-
ems services in the American cause
during the Revolution; and there is
no uncertainty about the ignorance Of
the American people in respect to his
services. In such a case, there should
be no uncertainty about the duty Of
South Carolinians to bring the world s
attention to the character and far
reaching consequences Of those SER
vices.
And this task will not be completed
until a suitable monument is erected
in the city Of Washington to his men,

crn. The following from the Record
Courier shows what the visitors will
be up against
The ball game will be the drawing
card OF the day and rumor has it that
some of the costumes lhat will be
worn are to be OF the most eXaggerat
cd styles and will put The latest Paris
ION creations miles TO rear. Al Dau-
dcl will appear in the pitchers box
Tor tae Gardnervile Eagles clad in
the latest Oriental leg gear fashion
while his waistcoat will be cut semi
occidental. The curve that he has
developed for this game is called Il
"ny eagle and can be pitched through
u siX-inch plate of armOr with COM
parativc ease. This marvellous feat
OF Daudei is not told TO frighten An
dy Todd or the other Carson players.
Pop Starkc is to play first base and
he has acquired a large hsh net from
friend of his that has used it to
catch cat fish in the Sacramento riv-
or, before coming To- Gardnerville.
Keep your eye on the L.illiputian first
baseman. J. G. Larson will catch be-
hind the bat and the way he nabs on
10 high ball is not SLOW: he has been
praclicing this stunt for long time.
Charles Bondetti is another star play
or Of the Gardnerville team and will
hold down the short stop job because
he can stop shorter than any other
man on the team and moreover they
a0 not wish to get entangied in Pol
Starke's fish net. Doc Kane has bor-
rowed Helberg's go.devil and will pa
troi the out field and Will be forty
places at once. Fred Way VIII De
third conductor and the rest of the
boys will be seen in their respective
stalls.
The Carson Gun Club, which is
composed of real earnest men, will
accompany the Eagles on their picnic
trip to meet the Gardnerv!rle Club i'll
Il contest for honors. The local shoot
crs are in better shape than ever be-
fore and expect to win from the Wis
ting club. A new kind of clay birds
will be used for this occasion and
which were but recently placed on
the market. They are thrown from
the trap like an ordinary bmerock
but owing to their peculiar shape, re-
sembling a boomerang in many ways.
After traveiing some fifty yards from
the trap, they change their coure and
again pass in front OF the shooter.
If he fails at the first shot but hits
1t at the second attempt ne receives
hall a credit.
That which will be appreciated
above everything else by the Valley
people is the fact that the visitors
will bring with them a GRASS band OF
30 pieces. and during the ball game,
and in fact during the entire day, Will
discourse sweet music.
