Illinois Town Surveyed by Lincoln

Bath, ILL.,, Nov. "A sunrise sa-
ute aroused the residents OF Bath
to-day, when, with hundreds Of vis-
itors from all over the country, they
celebrated the 18TH anniversary Of
the laying out Of the town by Abra-
ham Lincoln, then struggling young
surveyor. Elaborate preparations
had been made for the event. and
early In the day the streets were
thronged with visitors. Stores and
residences were brightly decorated
with hags, bunting and appropriate
pictures and notices. The anniver-
sary exercises were held in large
tent, where the crowd listened to ad-
dresses by Congressman Rainey and
other speakers of prominence.

The Effect of Fall Flowing Oh Cotton
Anthracnose.
Experiments conducted at the
South Carolina Experiment Station
during the past year show that where
cotton anthracnose occurs fall plow-
ing is very essential. A number OF
diseased cotton bolls were collected
last fall and buried at various depths
in the soil. These bolls were dug
up from time to time during ~e
winter and spring and cultures were
made from them in order to deter
mine how long the fungus which
causes the disease would live in such
bolls. We found that the fungus
does not seem to live in these bolls
longer than the middle of March
Many Of these bolls, when taken np
and examined, were found to contain
quantities Of bacteria; worms were
also found in some of them. These
facts lead us to believe that the or
binary agencies Of decomposition de-
stroy the anthracnose fungus when
the bolls in which the fungus Is liv-
Ing arc buried in moist soil
AT the same time that these bolls
were buried a number Of badly dis
eased stalks were pulled up and car
ried out to the edge of the field,
where they have been left unmolest-
ed since last fall. Diseased boils
were taken from these stalks from
time to time and examined The
fungus is still alive in the diseased
bolls on these stalks.
The cotton in the field from which
these bOlls and stalks were collected
last season were very badly diseased.
The stalk chopper was run over these
stalks, as soon as the cotton had all
been picked and the land was turned
about ten inches deep. 1t was then
narrowed and sown in crimson clo-
YER. The clover was plowed under
early in April and the land was
planted again i'm the same variety Of
cotton that was used last year. The
seed for this planting had been care
fully selected from a field where
there was no anthracnose. This sea-
son there was no anthracnosc at all
in this field.
These results, then, indicate that
fall piowing is going to be great
help i'm combating anthracnose. The
fact that the fungus is still alive in
stalks which were not turned under
emphasizes the importance Of such
plowing.
These are facts which 1t Is well to
keep in mind while 1t Is still time
for fall plowlng.

which shows the result of the crus-
ade against consumption In the Unit
cd States for the last 10 years.
The seventh annual meeting of the
National Association in Denver will
be held just before the annual meet
ing of the American Medical Associa-
ton in Los Angeles. The tuberculo-
sis workers convention will be diyid-
cd into three sections under the dlrec-
ton Of DIR. william II. welch of
Baltimore. president Dr. William C..
White of Pittsburg will be chairman
Of the Advisory Council of the asso-
citation. which will meet at the same
time. The three sections are, the
Sociological, with Alexander M. Will
son Of Philadelphia as chairman; the
Clinical, with DIR. Charles l.. Greene
of st. Paul as chairman; and the
Pathological, with DR.. William Oph-
uels of San Francisco as chairman.
The report of the Executive Secretary,
DR.. Livingston Farrand, will be in
corporated in a Statement of the re-
suits of the crusade against tubercu-
losis in the United States for the
last 10 years. which will be transmit
ted to the International Congress on
tuberculosis In Rome, next Septem-
her.
DIR. Farrand's report will show that
10 years ago there was only one or
ganization In the United States for
the education of the public about
tuberculosis, the Pennsylvania Socie-
ty for the Prevention of tuberculosis
by September, 1911, the National
Association says there will be over
500 such bodies. Ten years ago there
were but five special dispensaries or
clinics for the examination and in
struction of needy tuberculosis patti
ents. three of these being in New
York City, one In Boston. and one
In Providence. BY September. 1911, the
United States report will he able TO
list nearly 400 such institutions. In
1900 there were less than 100 hospi-
tails. wards and pavilions where tuber-
culosis patients could be treated, with
not more than C.5OO beds all told.
The National Association hopes TO
report by September at least 450
hospitals and sanatoria with an aggre-
gate capacity of at least 5000 beds.
Commenting on these possibilities
Or. Farrand says that the education
al campaign is directly responsible
not only for the great growth in in
stitutional provision but that 1t will
also result In the next ten years ia
a striking fall In the death rate from
tuberculosis. He adds, What we need
most at the moment is more hospi
tails, more dispensaries, and more
visiting nurses. We are working TO-
these definite ends, and the next ten
years will show results even more
marked than those OF the decade Just
Dassed.''
