A Serious Cotton Disease.

The North Carolina Agricultural
experiment station has issued the
following bulletin:
There is disease of cotton which
IS yearly attracting increased atten-
ton throughout the cotton belt. 1t
IS known as cotton anthacnose.
1t is most easily recognized when
on the boil, where it forms ulcer
ike spots, which, as they age, be-
come pink in the centers. The spot
may enlarge so as to affect the whole
boil. The diseased part of the boil
usually fails to open and often the
contents rot. Enquiries from various
sections of the State are being re-
ceived almost daily at the Expert
ment Station concerning the disease
1t has also been especially severe in
Alabama and Georgia during recent
years, 80 severe in the latter State
that the Legislature has made a
large special appropriation for it's in
vestigation.
Although the disease is seen and
recognized most prominently the
bolls, it also occurs on the leaves
and stems. Cotton growers should
know that this disease is carried from
season to season on the seed, and
that seed from sick bool, even
though very slightly diseased may
raise a diseased plant, and this in
may spread the disease to the whole
crop of the next season. There is no
satisfactory treatment and the one
point to be remembered is that seed
from diseased fields is likely to carry
to disease, in fact, almost sure to do
so. Even seed from clean fields which
has passed through gin in which di-
seased cotton has been gisned is dan
gerous. 1t is of utmost Importance for
the grower to be sure that his cot
ton seed does not come from a field
or from region where this disease
prevails.
