PEACHES FOR DENMARK.

county's reputation for producing the
best has received another boost. One
day last summer c. v. Rain, Lincoln's
peach king" decided as an expert
ment to send some of his luscious fruit
to his old home in Denmark. He &C
cordingly picked crate of his finest
peaches, and packing them carefully
consigned them to his father in his
far away native land.
At New York the crate was put In
cold storage on a boat sailing fol
Copenhagen, reaching there in perfect
condition, after sixteen days en- route
Another day was consumed in reach
ing its final destination, and only two
peaches were spoiled.
Peaches Of any kind are unusual In
that country, most of its fruit being
imported from Italy and Spain, and
American peaches, especially the kind
that Mr.. Rain grows, had never been
seen there before, and much interest
was taken in them, the mayor of the
Danish town and many of the prom.
inent citizens each getting a peach.

Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad

another train but was elected. She
got a verdict for $3.50. Both cases

Best Rotations To Use.
While no recommendations can be
given that will apply to all situations
and soil types, typical rotation that
can be modified to fit any condition is
suggested. For land infested with both
wilt and root-knot he following treat
ment has been successfully used by
many farmers: Beginning in the fall,
sow winter oats If they can be gotten
in early enough to make a fairly good
groth before it is necessary to plow
the land for the next crop. Plow the
oats under for green manure and plant
corn with Iron or Brabham cowpeas
between the rows, putting in the corn
at he usual time, about March Is to
20 for middle Georgia and South Caro-
lima. In the fall sow winter grain;
this can be cut for hay or allowed to
ripen. Cowpeas, either the Iron or
Brabham variety, may then be broad
casted or, better, planted in 2-foot
drills, where they can be cultivated
once or twice. The cowpeas may be
saved for seed or cut for hay and fol-

COTTON ROOT-KNOT AND
HOW BEST TO COMBAT IT

Washington, D. c., Jan. 25.-Cotton
root-knot. according to Farmers Bull
letin 625, not only causes great dam
age in itself, but when It is combined
with cotton wilt, as is frequently the
case. it generally increases the loss
from wilt.
Plants diseased with cotton root
knot are distinctly stunned, but not
appreciably deformed, as in wilt, and
have a peculiar sickly acknowledgment
color on both leaves and stem. In
times of drought, affected plants are
the first to show the lack of water
and may wilt slightly in the middle
of the day. II such a plant is dug up
carefully, the roots will be found to
be covered with swelllngs or gals
from the size Of pinhead to one-half
inch or more in diameter. II one of
these knots open, numerous pearly
white, rounded bodies about one-half
the size Of pinhead-the female ne
matodes-can often be seen with the
naked eye.
Root-knot of cotton and other crops
Is caused by these minute eelworms
or nematodes, which bore into the
roots and live there. The irritation OF
their presence causes the formation OF
swellings or gals. The male worms
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but the females when full
of eggs assume a spherical shape and
may often be distinguished in fresh
ly broken roots as described above
Each female lays several hundred
eggs. and thus the worms are propa
gated.
Root-knot may be carried from one
field to another by any agency which
will transfer some of the nematode,
