forth to the different parts OF the
plant. When these vessels are clog
ged up the plant willis and dies The
fungus which causes the trouble
lives In the soil and will remain
alive there for number Of years,
even when cotton and peas are left
off the land. Tho only way to con-
troll wilt Is by the use OF resistant
varieties which are almost wilt
proof. The varieties OF cotton which
are resistant to wilt, however, are
by no means free from root knot.
Root knot encourages wilt because
the fungus which causes wilt easily
enters the roots through the wounds
first step then in controlling wilt is
to get rid Of the root knot.
Now the ordinary farm practices
which are followed in this State
tend to encourage both wilt and
root knot. In the first place, the
wilt which attacks cotton and peas
Is practically the same, and the root
knot which Is common on cotton,
peas, potatoes and tobacco Is exactly
the same. Cowpeas which are used
in every Imaginable rotation are sub
ject to both Of those troubles which
prove so disastrous to cotton, so
In our rotation we are encouraging
both Of these diseases. There are
two varieties Of cowpeas, however,
which are free from both root and
knot wilt These varieties are the
Iron and Brabham; and 1t is with
the view Of calling attention to these
and emphasizing the necessity for
their more general use that this ar
ticle is written.
The South Carolina farmer cannot
farm without cowpeas, yet where
wilt and root knot occur he cannot
grow the common varieties; and it
is not safe for him to plant them
even where they do make some
growth, because they encourage the
same disease Of cotton. 1t Is wise
then, to secure and grow the varie-
ties which are resistant to both OF
these diSeaSeS-the Iron and Brab
ham varieties. These varieties are
quite generally grown in some sec
tions Of the State, but are still un-
known to many farmers who are
badly in need Of them. There IS a
great demand for pure seed Of these
varieties now, which demand Is sure
to increase; so it behooves all who
have these varieties to plan to save
all the seed possible. No other yari-
ETY. OF cowpcas should be used on
any farm where wilt or root knot
occur.
A good rotation to practice
where wilt and root knot occur Is 10

Just as he did so the saloon mans
son came in and said, Father, moth.
