ROTATION REDUCES
COTTON ROOT ROT
Experiment Farm Near san Antonio,
Texas, Finds Disease Decreases
With Yearly Change of Crops.

Washington. NOV. 24.-~Root rot in
cotton has been reduced by rotation of
crops at the San Antonio experiment
farm near San Antonio. Texas. a pub
lication of the United States depart
ment of agriculture describing expert
ments at this farm in 1915 indicates
clearly the value of rotation In the con-
troll of this disease In so far as it at
fects cotton.
On plat tn II had been cropped
continuously to cotton for eight years.
ss.2 per cent of the plants had died
from root rot by October IS, while on
a plat In a three-year rotation of oats,
cotton. and dwarf milo, only per
cent of the plants died from root rot
While experiments are to be continued
ana while the present knowledge of
root rot and It's control ~ not consid-
cred absolute. the result so ar recon-
mends rotation of crops and early
preparation of land as an effective
means of control.
Early Flowing.
The value of early blowing and ear
ly soil preparation, as well as rotation,
in increasing crop yields is one of the
outstanding facts determined by ex-
periments at the San Antonio farm.
In a relatively unfagorabie season, ali
crops grown at this experiment station
and especially corn, cotton, and milo
maze, showed increased yields where
early soil preparation had been given,
but where crops were rotated and also

ENGLAND's "GLORY"

To the Editor Of the EUenin1 Ledger:
Sir-I often read very interesting letters
on the great war in your valuable paper.
How some writer's can heap such unjust
rldicule and sander on the German nation
IS puzzle to me. Every nation has its
faults, but England's history of ill-fame
would make all the other warning nations
look like saints If a record of their crimes
were placed beside hers. The pro-Ally wri-
ters always evade the facts of history that
stare them in the face. They who always
harp on the poor Belgium string as Ger
many's only crime cannot compare that to
England's unjust war and brutal outrages
against the peace-loving Boer Republic.
But what of her inhuman treatment of
Ireland. the country whose sons often saved
her from a crushing defeat not to speak
of India Egypt or Greece? The Germans
on the Somme and the Beers at Colenso
are alike in many ways, fighting to save
their homes and Fatherland and winning
against odds of five to one. In years from
now II Britisher can console himself by
reading such passages as these in Eng
lands history of the war: How we saved
Rumania, our strategic retreat from the
Dardanelles, why Townshend surrendered
at ISut, our moral naval victory at Jutland,
the great English victory at Dublin. etc,
They can wind up by adding, well, IL We
could not crush Germany, We meant to do
It, anyhow"
