.AnthracnOse or Pink Boil Rot.

Anthracnose or pink boil rot OF
cotton is found nearly everywhere
in the cotton belt, though it Is most
prevalent and destructive in the more
humid sections from East Texas
eastward and during wet seasons.
This year east of the Mississippi
river, probably because of the wet
summer. it has been unusually wide
spread
This, too, is a fungous, infectious
disease, 1t first appears as a tiny
pink spot on the boil. this gradually
enlarging until the whole boil is de-
stroyed. Sometimes as many as half
the bOlls On stalk are entirely
ruined, and the injury in an entire
field may run as high as 80 and 40
per cent
Control measures are preventive
rather than curative. Most import
ant OF all these is seed selection,
since it has been definitely shown that
the disease is carried in the seed. The
South Carolina experiment station
has. by selecting seed only from
healthy stalks and bolls. entirely
eliminated the disease in one year.
If the farmer who is troubled with
anthracnose or boil rot will carefully
select his seed from stalks free from
the disease and plant them on land
Mt, in cotton the previous year he
viii have entirely solved his boil rot
problem.

Have Useful Shade Trees.

In connection with what we were
saying recently about the pecan,
crepe myrtle, and other Southern
trees. we wonder If we are not COM
ing to the time when no tree will be
thought good enough for shade un-
less it does something else besides
give shade? In other words, should
we not require every shade tree not
only to furnish shade. but also to
furnish either flowers, fruit or nuts?
There are so many trees that not
only furnish shade, but also glorify
the home with wealth Of flowers or
enrich the family diet (and possibly
the family pocketbook) with abund-
ant fruits or nuts. that there seems
good reason for insisting that as a
rule every shade tree should furnish
something else besides shade. or
course. we might make an occasional
exception in favor OF some lordly oak
or tulip tree (erroneously called pop
lar,) but we believe that the rule
should be as we have Just indicated.

When we come to consider the
matter, however, the ability of rich
land to make cotton in spite Of the

If a renter has one-half the money

any national farm loan association
will lend him the other half at a low
rate or interest and give him from
five to forty years time to pay it
back.
This will certainly be help to

SOME FACTS FOR THE FARMER,
What We May Expect from Work Of
tho Boil Weevil.
Progressive Farmer.o

In 1904 the boil weevil invaded a
half dozen parishes, or counties, in
Western Louisiana; by 1910 every
part OF the State was infested In
1904 Louisiana produced 1,O8s,526
bales Of cotton; in 1910 the State
produced 2i5.64S bales. In 1904,
Mississippfs biggest cotton year the
State produced 1,7S9,00O bales; in
1918, with the weevil in every toun-
ty in the State, the total PRODUCTION
was only 953,965 bales. From 1904,
l.ouisiana's best year, to 1909. her
worst year after the arrival OF the
weevil, we have loss of $4,000
bales, or 77.5 per cent.
The 33d parallel Of latitude Is the
northern boundary Of Louisiana and,
as the writer has previously pointed
out, 1t is south Of this line in Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi that boil
weevil damage has been heaviest. In
the counties Of Mississippi lying
south Of the 33d parallel Of latitude.
cotton production in 1904 was 749,-
$40 bales; by 1915 this had fallen
to l70,572 bales, or loss of 77.3
per cent-almost exactly the percent
age Of decrease shown in Louisiana.
Alabama and Georgia south OF the
33d parallel possess climatic condi-
tons practically the same as those of
Louisiana and Mississippi.
Alabama's big cotton year was
1914. when the State produced
l,751 ,375 bales The same year the
Alabama counties lying south OF par
allel 33 grew l,0l7,650, bales. Now
if these counties their worst year
with the wecvil lose in production as
did similar territory in Louisiana and
Mississippi. production will be only
22.6 per cent Of 1914, or 236,769
halcs-a loss Of Sl0,SS1 bales.
The writer believes it fair to as
sumo that in South Carolina south of
parallel 81 the weevil will encounter
conditions-favorable and unfayora-
ble-that will average about the
same as those found between paral-
lels 33 and 81 in the Gulf States. II
this be the case, then South Carolina
south OF parallel 81 may eXpect a
loss Of something like Is per cent
when the weevil is at it's worst this
loss OF course ranging higher in the
southern and lower in northern part
OF the area. In South Carolina in
1911 the counties south Of parallel
34 made 624,500 bales of cotton, and
If this when the weevil is worst is
cut 70 per cent, which we believe, in
view Of the climatic conditions al
we will have a loss Of 463,375 bales.

be done warm, strong, quick soil is
an absolute necessity.
Thus is the weevil emphasizing
anew the overwhelming importance
OF rich land in making profitable
crops. Now that this pest is cover
ing nearly all the cotton belt, soil
building is going TO be asolutely es-
sential to successful farming. The
man who plants lcgumes winter and
summer and saves his soil and en-
riches it will beat the boil weevil;
the man who does not will fail.

in connection with studies OF rural
