Root Knot Does Damage.

Whether II is called root gall,
beaded root knot, eelworm disease.
or just plain root knot makes no dis-
ference whatever to the worm that
causes the disease. Indifferent to
the names given him and his work,
he goes right along with his bust
ness of destruction. There is no
way to estimate the amount of dam
age he does. Plants suffering from
an attack are usually dwarfed and
look sickly; sometimes the leaves
look yellow and drop off; and, in
bad cases, the entire plants may
die. Naturally the yield of the crop
is less.
The organisms causing this root
knot of cotton and other crops are
very small worms which bore into
the roots and live there. Their
presence results in irregular swell
ings, or gals, varying in size from
beads on the small roots to knots an
inch or more in diameter on the larg-
err ones.
Root knot is a disease of light
sandy soils It is carried from field
to field in the earth that clings to
implements. hoofs of animals, etc.
Water washes the worms from one
field TO another during heavy rains.
Trees from nurseries often have In
tested soil sticking to their roots.
All these ways of spreading the dis
ease should be carefully watched and
guarded against.
Rotation of crops is absolutely ne
cessary to get good yields where root
is present. II badly infested field.

To Make Lumber Last.

Shingles or any lumber dipped or
painted with gas or coal tar will last
much longer than that not painted.
A tin roof in our country given one
coat is good for five years. Lumber
or any kind buried in the ground If
coated all over will last five years. I
have common Ike inch fencing in nv
flower benches that has been in use
twelve years and is still good. The
best time to apply is in hot weather
when the tar is soft, using brush
dipped in the hot tar. If this is done,
things will never rot.

Help Keep Up the Roads.

A stitch in time saves nine is just
as true in road dragging as in fence
fixing and other farm work. Don't
let the rush of work cause you to neg
lect road dragging until the ruts are
so deep and the weeds have such a
start that the drag cannot do it's
best work. A little careful work
now and during the remainder of the
season will not only keep the roads
in good shape, but keep down the
weeds in such a way as to save a
great deal of work at weed moving
time.

We Need The Sunshine.

A decrease IN the average duration
of sunshine of one hour during the
winter lowers the temperature of
the soil during March and April 3
degrees c., and delays spring one
month. This is the determination
of a German scientist. w. Naegler.
A deficiency of degree c., or
about degrees Fahrenheit in the
average soil temperature from 20 to
40 inches in depth during March and
April delays spring ten days, accord
ing to the same authority.
His investigations have led him to
conclude that there is direct rela-
tionship between soil temperature
and the coming of spring. He has
found that the blooming of apples
comedies very closely with the APP
pearance of temperature of so de-
drees in the soil at depth of 20
inches.
Based on such an hypothesis, why
would it not be practical to mulch
an orchard heavily when the deep
est freeze is in the ground, to the
end that the mulch serve as a blan-
ket to keep the cold in the ground,
and the sun from dispelling it, until
there has been an artificially late
spring created for the trees? Late
blooming of apples, peaches and 9TH
err fruits would often mean success
where failure is met from late cold
snaps

How's The Hog Pasture.

Have you provided plenty of pas
ture for the pigs during the fall
months? Rape sown at this time
makes good forage within six or
eight weeks and can be pastured
throughout the summer and fall it
the hogs are allowed to eat it off at
alternate periods. Where corn is
hogged off rape may be sown after
the last cultivation; it will then pro-
duce enough forage to supplement
the corn ration for the hogs. Rye
sown during early September will
make plenty of late fall and early
winter pasture.

COMP PARAT|VE QUIET
 IN COTTON MARKET
Cables Steady, But There Was Some Liquidation in
 New York

New York, September 26-The cotton market was comparatively quiet during today's early trading. Cables were rel atively steady, but there was some scat tering liquidation in October here, owing to the circulation of a few notices and the opening was points lower to points higher. Early estimates places the noti- ces at only 2O0O bales. and the offerings of October were quickly absorbed with spot houses among the buyers. The mar ket soon steadied in consequence with October working up from 15S0c to 15.92c. while December advanced from 16.I0c to 161Sc, with the general list selling about 6 to points net higher. Private cables reported a small market in Liverpool with prices influenced by the strength of Egyptian.
 Trading was very quiet in the morning, with prices sagging back to about last nights closing figures under local real izing inspired by the easy closing of Liverpool and the absence of any aggres- sive support.
 The market remained quiet during the early afternoon, but held generally steady with active months ruling or 3 points above last nights closing figures. There seemed no fresh news features to inspire interest and traders were believed to be waiting for a better line on the October bureau report which is to be published next Monday.

TRADE WAITS ON BUREAU REPORTS
New Orleans Market Dull Because of Uncertainty
 of Coming Statistics

New Orleans, September 26.-The
 waiting attitude of the trade. assumed because of the coming bureau reports on condition and ginning, caused a dull cotton market here today. Increased uncertainty as to what the final con- dition report would show and the Knowledge that high prices and favor able weather have resulted in heavy ginning induced more or less liquda- tion of long cotton, and restricted fresh business generally. Price movements were narrow. In the early trading there was a net rise of to points, after which the market fell off to net de-
 cline of points. The close was at a
 net loss for the session of to points. Unfavorable spots on the weather map caused caution among short sell CTS, especially as the forecast seemed to indicate continued unsettled condi- tions over a portion of the belt. Private bureau reports on condition were some what less bullish than the trade has
 been expecting and offset the effect of good cables. At no time during the day was the market under strong pres
 sure, either to buy or to sell.
 Enough selling met the advance to change the trend of the market, al- though the ring became dull. Toward
 noon prices were to points under yesterdays close.
 It was a small market in the after noon and prices barely moved At 1:30 the trading months were at a net de- cline of to 4 points.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-09-27

Despite the strength of Liverpool this morning, our market opened practically unchanged. moderate advance of a few points occurred after the opening call, but the market lacked any pro- nounced buying power and prices sagged under weight of local offerings.
 Nervousness in the stock market doubtless inspired considerable Wall street liquidation of long cotton. The declines from the high to the low of the day ranged from 13 to 15 points, with few points recovery towards the close
 In view of the forthcoming ginning and condition reports on Monday next, nervous markets for the next few days are likely. However, we do not con- slider that the situation justifies any thing more than moderate and tenn porary declines. Strong interests are very bullish and will doubtless buy on moderate setbacks.
 Very heavy ginning figures will be no surprise to the trade If published on Monday next, the condition figures will be of far greater importance-the fear that condition figures may be very bullish will deter short selling in any volume, even if the ginning figures are exceptionally heavy. We still believe in higher prices and favor purchases on such moderate declines as occurred today.
 Oil was neglected today. Lard was lower and the easier tone of cotton had a depressing effect on bull speculation. The closing prices were to points below the days high. We believe in materially higher prices, particularly for December. We think present prices will seem very cheap a week or two hence. We favor purchase.

FRESH STRENGTH
 IN WHEAT PRICES
Argentina DrOuth and Re- sumption of British Mills
 Cause for Excitement

Chicago, September 26.-Wheat prices developed fresh strength today after an uncertain start. The new incentives to buy were the resumption of work by British mills and the fact that the Ar gentina drouth appeared to be growing more serious. In addition gossip was current that yesterdays export sales were larger than had been announced. Opening prices, which ranged from 1ac decline to ssc advance, with December at $1 54s4 to s1. 55ss and May at s1.54s4 to s1.551s, were followed by substantial gains all around.
 Corn was steadied by the strength of wheat. Pit trading, however, leaned to the bear side. After opening unchanged to hc lower, the market sagged little further but soon recovered.
 Oats were easy on account of large speculative sales. Nevertheless, declines were only slight.
 Realizing by holders tended to weaken provisions. Depression in the hog mar ket was a factor.
 For while reports of excessive rains interfering with wheat threshers in Can- ada had a bullish effect, but an increase of the world supply total led to decided reaction. The close was heavy, ssc to 1c net lower, with December at S1 54L and May at $1.543s.
 Another downturn in corn ensued when wheat became weak. The close was un- settled at the same price as yesterdays finish to 1ac lower.

Big Increase of School Children in State Shown
 by Department Census

Montgomery, September si (Spe- cial. )-An increase of 5390 school chil- dren in Alabama in the last two years is shown by the biennial school cen- sus which was taken under the direc- tion of the department of education during July. The data has just been compiled and made public.
 The total number of children of school age in the state, as shown by the census, is 7S0,366, compared with 774.976 two years ago. It is quite anomolous, though, that the number of negro school children has fallen off considerably while the number of white persons of school age shows vern large increase. For instance. there are now II ,509 more white children in the state than there were two years ago, while the negroes show a decrease of 6119. Two years ago there were 432,- 551 white and 342,425 negro children The present census shows 444,060 white and 336,306 negroes.
 The results of the census in Jeffer- son county shows total of 75,467 school children, including 43,373 white and 32,094 negroes.

sufficient to sustain values, which | eased off to around last nights close, and held steady around this level throughout the day.
 The Journal of Commerce's report on Georgia and the Carolinas was just about as expected. There was less i'm terest shown in the market than for several days past, the trade preferring to await the government reports on Monday before taking a decided posi- tion.
 For the remainder of the weak we expect a scalping market with evening up operations on both sides.
 The weather continues favorable, but there are indications of a spell of un- settled weather coming on tho belt within the next few days Spots were steady at unchanged prices. Would buy on the dips for scalp and sell out on the rallies for the present.

 AS a result of the advices from Eu- rope there was some discussion as to the possible course of prices in case of peace rumors becoming current. the general idea being that an advance would occur. It is evident from the ac- tion of the market that the short fn- terest was reduced to very small pro- portions yesterday.
