WILSON WRITES
ON CANE PESTS
Interesting Discussion And Valuable
information BY Secretary OF
Agriculture.

Washington Feb. 14.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson has issued state
ment concerning the sugar cane pest.
Owing to the rapid development
of the sugar cane industry" said Sec
rotary Wilson, especially in South
Texas and Mississippi, the most pro-
gressive superintendent are looking
abroad for improved varieties of cane,
and in some instances rather extensive
variety experiments are being planned
by sugar growers. 1t is desirable
that such tests be made as there is
always the possibility of finding va
riety especially suited to our condi-
tons and one which will prove richer
In sucrose or which may mature at a
different season, thus enabling the mill
to have cane in it's best condition over
a longer period than would be possible
with one variety. However, it is of
the greatest Importance that introduc-
lions of cane from foreign countries be
conducted under most careful expert
supervision from the fact that at pres
est there is in America only one seri-
Gus cane insect, namely, the borer,
and this can be controlled by cultural
methods. However, there exists in
foreign countries in practically every
section of the world where sugar cane
has been grown for any length Of time
very serious insect pests and cane
diseases which if introduced into the
cane-growing section of this country
might very easily entirely destroy or
at any rate seriously injure the bust.
ness of the cane grower as well as
the mill man. The United States De
partment of Agriculture, being fully
alive to the seriousness of this menace
to an established industry, has en-
couraged experimenters to submit all
the sugar cane that they may intro
duce to the Department at Washing
ton to be examined by expert plant
pathologists and entomologists before
actually planting in the field. They
have further arranged an especially
screened house where cane may be
grown for a season under observation
before being distributed.
Advice To Cane Growers.

disease occurring in many cane
regions, enters the stalks through in
sect punctures or cracks. Stalks at
tackled by horers are very readily car
ried off by the disease Such
disease introduced into our cane fields
where the borer is prevalent would
probably prove very destructive.
Of Especial Importance.
1T is especially important that any
cane introduced be passed through the
hands of the Government experts for
observation over long period, proba-
bly, an entire year, before being actu-
ally planted in our fields. At the pres
ent time there does not exist any law
requiring people to have cane intro
duced from foreign countries inspect
ed in an adequate manner, hence the
above Information is laid before the
country and especially the sugar-cane
growers that they may see the danger
of indiscriminate introductions and
cooperate with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in keeping our
cane industry from possible destruc-
ton. Those who plan the introduc-
ton of foreign cane varieties for test
ing, should take up the matter with
David Fairchild, of the Office of For
eign Seed and Plant Introduction, and
through that office arrange for the
inspection and observation of imported
MATERIAL This the Department will
be glad to do without cost to the i'm
porter in so far as compatible with the
existing quarantine equipment"

as to the pests which he is liable to
bring in by thoughtless introductions
of foreign seed cane, the following de-
scriptions and brief statements con-
corning the most serious pests are
submitted:
The leaf hopper threatened at one
time to destroy the sugar cane indus
try in some of the Pacific islands. Lit
orally millions of dollars worth of cane
was ruined, and thousands of dollars
were expended by the planters in the
employment of entomologists and in
the establishment of laboratories in
the attempt to control this one insect.
From this may be seen how important
is an chronological examination of
cane from any country where cane is
likely to be infested with the cane
leaf hopper.
The Frog Hopper.
Moreover, there is a frog hopper,
somewhat related to the leaf hopper
just mentioned, which is doing extern
sive damage in Trinidad and some OF
the other West Indies; and in Java
and other regions in the East Indies
there are still other serious insect
pests of cane.
There are several diseases of 9
very serious nature attacking sugar
cane. The control of some has become
so grave a problem that in one in
stance, in Java, it is illegal to allow
cane to remain on the same land two
years in succession. By growing onl!
plant cane the disease can be con
trolled. The presence of such
disease in the cane fields in this coun
try where the rattoon crop runs from
three years in Louisiana to five year
in South Texas would be sufficient.
disastrous to make cane growing un
profitable. ..r
Cumming OF The Cane.
lone of the serious cane disease
caused by bacteria occurs in Australia
parts of tropical America, and is re
ported in Hawaii. This disease \
commonly called cumming of tn
cane and it is spread by planting
diseased cuttings.
THE root rot, known by the CON
mon name coral stinkhorn,' and 9th
er root rots occur generally in can
countries. These diseases are espe
cially severe on the rattoon crop an
destroy whole fields.
" Afungus, known as the leaf-split
ting blight, is occasionally destructiv
to young cane and is spread throug
fields by spores from infected leaves
Action of the fungus is very rapid an
in Hawaii whole fields are sometime
seriously injured in few weeks.

EMMANUEL CHURCH IS GROWING.

Rev. A. L. O'Briant of the Emmanuel
Baptist church is much gratified over
the continued progress of his church.
At. the meeting last Sunday there were
three additions to the church, one of
these being a young lady student OF
the Woman's College. The Sunday
school work is progressing splendidly
and new residents of that section are
looking forward to the time when the
Traction Company will extend its car
lines as far as the Woman's College,
and there are many who believe this
step will be taken in a very short
time.
