FLAX WILT

Flax wilt 10 caused by q degenerate
plant which gets into the fax plant and
uses up the sap intended for growth
and development. This causes the flax
plant to wither and die. The spores OF
seeds Of the fax wilt can live in the
soil or on flax straw or roots. Flax
should never be sow on ground thus
infected. Spores of fax wilt can get
into the ground only by being sown
with the seed or by being brought in
on flax straw. The wilt spores may be
just inside the seed coats. in which
case the kernels will usually present a
small, dark colored appearance. OF. they
may stick to the outside of the seeds.
The latter will be true of all seed that
has come from a field in which there
is fax wilt. The spores may even be
gathered from a threshine machine just
used for threshing affected fax.
Prof. Bolley of the Agricultural college
gives the following method for killing
the wilt spores on the flax seed:
Recommendations: () Use only
plump. bright colored fax for seed.
(2) Clean all seed thoroughly in a
tanning mill until all Tits of straw and
chaf as we'll as light weight seeds have
been removed. or blown out. The treat,
ment recommended will not kill the
fungus which is always to be found
inside diseased straws and chaff, be-
U it cannot penetrate to it. In a
diseased crop. most of the light weight.
dark colored and scaly seeds bear the
fungus on the inside of the seed coats.
Such seeds must be removed, for the
treatment cannot prevent these from
injecting the soil.
(3) Treat all seed fax every year.
Treatment: Use formaldehyde at the
rate of n pound of standard strength
10 forty gallons of water. Spread the
seed upon q tight floor OF upon a canvas
and sprinkle or spray on a small amount
Of the liquid. "a fine spray thrown by
a small force pump is best). Shovel.
hoe or rake the grain over rapidly.
Repeat the spraying, shoveling. hoeing
or raking until the surfaces of all the
seeds are evenly moist, not wet enough
to mat or gum but thoroughly damp.
(This can be done without mating if
we'll hoed or shoveled over). Leave
the grain piled for several hours. The
dry Grains will absorb the exess of mois-
ture without injury or mating. and the
spores of the disease will be killed by
the fumes. 1t takes about one-half
gallon of water solution to properly wet
n bushel of flax seed.
Further Precautions: After this care
has been taken with the seed, I recon-
mend these further precautions:
Sow all flax on a compact. even seed
bed.
Sow flax seed as shallow as possible
and yet have it we'll covered.
Sow smaller areas to flax, and never
follow flax by flax until a number of
year have INTERVIEWED.

X. l.. Lotion. There were few
Others who were slightly injured but
whose names it was impossible 10 get
in the excitement attending the
wreck.
A few of the passengers came out
OF the overturned car without a
scratch, but the experience was one
that none Of them want to undergo
again.
The escape Of Mr., j. w. West and
Mr.. c. w, Sinclair from instant
death was almost miraculous. They
were sitting together on the north
side of the train, and started to rise
as they saw the locomotive bearing
down on them. B Jtd Of them were
thrown across the car and through
the window to the ground, As the car
turned over on them. Fortunately
they fell in an excavation, and this
prevented the car from crushing
them TO death.
Mr.. West lost his pocketbook in
the wreck, containing some money
and many valuable papers, the latter
of no value except to himself, how
ever.
Most OF the injured were carried
to the llalcyon sanitorium for treat
ment, DIR, Holmes being surgeon al

thern and Florida and the Georgis

Railroad Accident at VaIdosta.

Georgia IL Florida Railway;
A serious wreck occurred at the
crossing Of the Georgia Southern and
Florida and the Georgia and Florida
railroads shortly before eleven o.
clock this morning, iniuring ten or
twelve passengers more or less se-
yerely, almost demohshing the rear
coach on the Georgia and Florida
train which was pulling ou, for Mad
ison. and badly damaging the front
part Of a Georgia Southern and
Florida locomotive, which ran into
the passenger train.
1t is stated that the passenger train
IN the Georgia and Florida and the
Valdosto, Moultrie and Western
train both reached the crossing about
the same time, and both stopped as
required by the rules. The Madison
train then pulled across the crossing,
ali Of the tram except the last coach
having cleared it when Georgia
Southern and Florida locomotive No
g. struck it about midway. Th'
coach was Immediately overturned
throwing the passengers in every di-
/ rection, and was hurled or sided
about sixty feet down the track, the
coupling TO the train then breaking
and leaving one end of the coach ly-
ing across the Georgia Southern and
Florida tracks while the other end
rested on the track of the Georgia
and Florida.
Many Of the passengers were
thrown through the windows of the
overturned coach, while Others made
their way or were assisted from the
ends of the car. Practically every
window and ventilator in the car was
smashed and a shower Of flying glass
struck the passengers in their faces
The passengers sitting on the north
side % the car saw the Georgia Sou
thern and Florida engine as it bore
down upon the train, and realized
that q collision was inevitable, but
they had barely time to clutch their
seats or to more than move across
the car when the impact c9me.
Some OF the witnesses state that
apparently Engi~eer Burch, in charge
OF the G. 5. & f, engine, made ey-
cry effort to stop, but that he had
no sand in his box and that tue wheels
slid when he threw on the brakes.
The tracks were wet and the locomo-
tive was going down grade. render
ing it impossible, according tn them,
for the locomotive to be stopped in
time. Other persons state that ap
parently Engineer Burch did not see
the train at all and that no effort was
made 20 stop bis engine. AS to
which OF these theories is correct The
Times has no way of showing.
There seems also to be wide diff
ference Of opinion as to the speed the
locomotive was making. In the opin-
Nm o. some Of those who saw the
collision the locomotive was moving
only about SIX or eight miles an
hour, while Others think it was NOV
ing at a much faster rate,
The wreck occurred in a rather
dangerous locality owing to the fact
that the shops of the Valdosta Foun-
dry and Machine Company obstruct
from the view Of the tracks around
the curve Immediately east Of the
crossing. Owing to this fact it may
be that Engineer Burch did not see
the Georgia and Florida train until
1t was on the crossing.
Among those hurt in the collision
