are not necessary to infection, though
plants weakened by root-knot 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 o., are small, color
less spores borne on the mycelium
within the vessels. The second, or
macroconidia ca, 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 Co,
is produced on the outside of the plant,
mainly IN Juo sui. IL 10 lHlCh WdiCu
and withstands drying or other I'M
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 vlsl-
Bile to the unaided eye as red bodies
the size of sand grains, these per1the-
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 Fungicides on Wit.
Soil from an infected field contains
the wilt fungus, and the cotton plant
ed in it will contract the disease.
If, however, such soil were sterilized
by heat or by the use of chemicals,
healthy cotton could again be grown.

WESTON REACHED NEW CAM
BRIA ON WALK LAST NIGHT.
It Was One O'Clock When He Finally
Rested.

E. P. Weston, the transcontinen-
tai walker, reached Abilene at p.
m. Tuesday evening and after a rest
and supper at the Union Pacific hotel
trudged on leaving at 7:10 p. m. He
reached Solomon at $3.50 p. m. and
New Cambria at l a. m. where he
rested. Today he went on expect
ing to reach Ellsworth tonight.
A number of high school boys met
him west of Detroit and came to
town with him. A mile east of the
U. P. station 800 persons had Joined
the escort.
To see the famous pedestrian ap-
preaching from a distance one would
say that he was 1.-THE young man
who was out for short walk and
feeling oats" but the illusion dis
appears when he gets a nearer view
Of him. His hair and long mustache
are white and he looks wrinkled and
old. Possibly when he starts out
in the morning he moves with ease
and freedom, but at the end Of q
days walk he limped and staggered.
There was no rhythm in his step and
his legs moved as II they were stiff
and sore. AS he walked along the
railroad track from Chapman his
would slacken as II he were utterly
weary, and then, as If he were spur
ring himself on by his resolve to
reach his destination he would quick
en- his step, only to slow down again
few yards farther on.
He does not like to talk to crowds
while walking but when Reflector
representative called on him at the
U. P. hotel he spoke freely.
"How did l happen to make this
trip? Well, sir, years ago prom
ised my good friend Sir John Ashley
| in England that when l was 70 years
old l would do a walking stunt that
would surprise the world. Sir John
helped me to make walking popular
in America. You know they are great

REGULATING THE BASEMENT.
Meetings Cannot Be Held ct Library
without Getting Permit.

The trustees of the library have
ordered that all parties except the
commercial club and the ladies' as
ISOLATION desiring to use the base
ment for meetings must make ar
engagements in advance and secure an
order signed by Rev. Fuller Berg
stresser or the president of the board
which order must be presented to
the janitor in order to gain admis-
sion. The regular fee for the use OF
the basement is 81 to cover light,
heat and janitOr fee.
This fee was deemed necessary
until the fitting up Of the basement
is paid for as there we're no funds
for this purpose.
The observance Of this rule will
avoid all trouble and conflict such
as have occurred lately when two
meetings have been called for the
same time and place.

The mills under the present man
agement have steadily increased their
business and are reaching out to a
larger market than ever before in
their history.
