COTTON CROP SEVERELY
HURT BY COLD WEATHER
Everywhere IL HnS Stun,cd Apuenr-
ance, and Growth Is
Very Slow.

WASHINGTON. d. G. June l.-Cold
weather in April and May hurt the
cotton crop severely through the en-
tire south.
- An orela statement to-day by The
Department of Agriculture SAYS:
Temperatures for MANY DAYS II,
early May were so low that frost
formed even in the southern part OF
the cotton belt. Much cotton was
killed outright. and the stand was
damaged everywhere"
The statement continued:
There has been much REMAINING in
every state. and the cotton everywhere
has stunted appearance and has
grown but little. In addition TO cold
weather, drought IN some sections has
kept the seed from terminating The
crop viii average probably three
weeks late in age and probably more
IN size and appearance
Many. sections report lice There ia
some complaint of weevils. but they
have not shown up as yet to any sre.,
extent. probably owing to the lateness
OF the crop. Generally. cultiyatinc is
fuliy up 10 normal. and there is little
grass in the folds. There is a consid-
cradle -sh ortass in the labor supply.
oui farmers are we'll up with their
Worh IN most places, owing TO the gem
orally dry weather prevailing during
most OF the month The labor SNORT
age applies TO the States east of the
MISSISSIPPI River: those west of the

Farming in the City
Cucumber Crowcr Has Many
Battles With Insects.

The cucumber grower has more in
sects to battle with than diseases to
cure. says to-day's bulletin from the
National Emergency Food Garden Com
mission.
Diseases prevalent among other gar
den vegetables seldom attack cucum-
bers, though. If the plants are not
protected from disease carrying in
sects, they may become victim to any
of tho garden diseases.
Anthracnose. downy mildew. and wilt
sometimes attack the cucumber. Wilt
is fatal disease. Infected vines
should be burned. Anthracnose and
mildew are funsous diseases, and can
be cured by spraying. The first symp-
toms o. anthracnosc are brown spots
on the leaves. Downy mildew appears
In yellow spots For both diseases
spray with Bordeaux mixture. first
when the plants have begun to form
vines and later after the first blossoms
have faded. Repeat the spraying in
two weeks. and then two weeks after
that. Some gardeners spray for mill
dew and anthracnose as long as tho
crop lasts.
Insects attack both the leaves and
roots OF cucumbers. The striped bee
tie. spotted beetle, and flea beetle are
chewing insects that feed upon the
leaves. The vine borer is worm,
which bores into the vine at the sur
face OF the ground. When the vine
borer intrenches itself. the vine must
be cut open lengthwise and the worm
removed and killed. Earth should be
thrown over the vines every few feet
SO that new roots will form at those
placea
The beetles. although they are very
destructive. are not so formidable an
