RID FIELD OF CHINCH BUGS
Deep Furrow Along Edge Of Field VIII
Prove Effective-Circular
Holes Will Help.

Plow deep furrow along the edge
Of the field, running the land side of
the pillow toward the field to be pro-
tected. In dry weather the sides of
the furrow can be made SO smooth
and so steep that the bugs will find 1t
easier to crawl along the bottom than
to climb up the sides. Circular holes
from 80 to 40 feet apart, made with a
post hole digger, may then be dug In
the bottom Of the trench Into these
holes the bugs will fall In large num-
bers, where they may be killed easily
by sprinkling Kerosene oil over them.
A log dragged back and forth along
the furrow is useful In keeping the
bottom and sides In good condition
during dry weather.

EXCELLENT WAR CROP
P0uItr: Offers One OF Best Ways
of Increasing Food.
Fowls Feed More Economically Than
Any Other Farm Animal When
Carefully handIed-LittIe Capt.
tai Is Required.

Poultry has been called the crop
that never fails. 1t offers one of the
best ways of increasing food produc-
ton on short notice. Poultry uses feed
more economically probably than any
other class of farm animal when ii is
carefully handled. 1t will produce a
pound of meat or eggs on four pounds
of grain when protein concentrates are
fed. PulletS will begin laying in from
6 to $ months. CockcrclS are ready
for market at the age Of II to 16
weeks.
There is good money in poultry and
eggs if the flock is properly managed.
Very little capital is required and ex-
penSiye stock and equipment are I'M
necessary. Careful management and
feeding are more important than ex-
penSive equipment.
Laying hens should be allowed to
moult naturally. The common idea that
if hens are compelled to mott early
they will quickly feather out and com
mence laying early in the fall is er.
roneous. An early mott is not sign
of early fall production. Usually the
late-moltins hen is the heavier pro

Queer. In fact lack of feather growth
Is one of the points to consider when
selecting hens for winter laying.
Very often show birds are forced
into summer mott by restriction of
feed. This Is done so that the birds
may be in full feather once more for
the early show season. This should
never be practiced with utility stock.
It will cause production to stop and
weaken the hens ut a time Of the year
when full strength is needed. 1t Is
unwise to change the general character
of the feed. The addition of some oil
carrying ingredient, however. such as
sunflower seed, will aid in the develop.
ment Of new feathers.
Chickens may be produced economi.
cally on city and suburban lots by
utilizing the food wastes from the
kitchen. Under such conditions. hens
may be kept profitably for egg produc-
ton. On farms, chickens thrive on
bugs, insects and worms, seeds, wild
berries, weeds and grasses, and give
the cheapest meat product pound for

The labor required by chickens Is
slight, which is an important consider
alton when man-labor is scarce. II

! I'm times of drought affected plants
are the first to show the lack of water
and may wilt slightly in the middle OF
the day.
When root-knot occurs with wilt,
which Is often the case, the symptoms
of both diseases are present. The
plants usually al die or are SO badly
dwarfted that little or no cotton is
produced.
Wilt is caused by fungus, q minute
plant growth, which enters the roots
from Me soil. Ii grows vigorously IN
the WITHDRAWING vessels of the roots
and stems. causing them to turn black
1t shuts off wholly or in part the water
supply of the plant and eventually
brings about the death of those badly
affected. This fungus produces in
great numbers several types of fruit
ing bodies, hy which 1t is propagated.
Closely related fungi Of the same
genus cause serious willis of okra. cot
feeweed, cowpca. tomato. watermelon,
potato and other plants.
Wilt Spread by Numerous Agencies.
Wilt is spread by the direct growth
of the fungus through the soil and by
any agency which will transfer spores
or disease-infected soil from one field
n
men or animals, wind and drainage
water To prevent spread by drainage
water terraces often may be built adj
vantageously to turn the water into
bitches Stable manure and the com
post heap may be infected by soil from
the feet of mules used in Il diseased
field and thus the wilt may be car
ried to new areas. The disease is often
spread most nOticcably along frequent
ly Travelled farm roads or paths. Tests
termine whether wilt Is carried by
the seed have given negative results.
1t is Il fact recognized by most farm
ers in wilt territory that the disease
is more severe in wet seasons and
less injurious in dry years. Abundant
soil moisture favors rapid growth Of
the cotton plant, and likewise fur
ni>hes the best conditions for the de-
velopment Of the fungus. For this rca-
son also. new cases of wilt are usual
~ most numerous just after rain.
How to Recognize Wilt.
When the leaves of cotton plants
wilt and fall without any apparent rea-
son. hlack-roOt or wilt, IS to be sus-
pectod. If n freshly wilted plant Is ex-
amined and the interior of the stem
or root is found to be Drowned or
blackened, the disease is almost sure
to be wilt. Certain kinds of dwarfing
OF he main stem are likewise charac-
teristic of wilt. particularly a reduc-
ton In the length and shortening Of
the distance between the branches.
This IS often accompanied by the nor
nal development of one or more Of the
basal limbs, due to partial infection.

Throughout the sandy sections of
he cotton belt, where cotton wilt and
root Knot occur every year to an In
"rraSing extent, there is urgent need
for !: fuller understanding Of these dis
cases and the important relation they
bear to each other and to the farm
cr's margin of profit. Wilt occurring
alone causes serious loss to the cot
ton crop not only ny killing large
numbers Of plants, but, further by
stunning very many others and thus,
greatly reducing the yield. Cotton
root knot by itself causes q dwarfing
of the plants and consequent de
crease in yield over large areas. Often
the farmer does not notice this or at
tributes ii to an unfavOrable season,
poor soil, lack Of proper fertilization.
or some local condition. Where these
two diseases occur together, which is
frequently the case, the loss is often
SO great that it becomes well-nigh I'M
possible by the usual method Of cult
walton to grow the principal money
crop Of this section without an actual
loss. In other words, wilt and root
knot then become the most important
limiting factors in the production of
cotton. To remedy this condition, the
whole scheme of farming mast often
be changed and planned with special
reference to the control of these high
ly important enemies of the cotton
crop.
Rotation Of crops for the control OF
root Knot and the use of varieties OF
cotton resistant to wilt are more es-
sential to the profitable growing Of
crop in badly diseased areas than fer
tilizati0n or cultivation, although
these are of great importance.
Cotton wilt and root-knot occur to
Il greater or less extent in every cot
n-producing state from North Caro-
lima to Texas. The areas where wilt
is Of most general and serious occur
renee are southeastern and eastern
South Carolina. southwestern Georgia
and southeastern Alabama.
On the sandy and alluvial soils of
the coastal plain. wilt and root-kn"t
are most prevalent, while on the clay
soils Of the Piedmont plateau. the oc-
currence Of these diseases is rare.
Estimate Of Damage.
Though it is difficult to form a very
accurate estimate Of the damage
caused by these diseases, an estimate
based on farm-to-farm survey Of a
typical county indicates that root-knot
Of cotton alone causes q loss of $50
100000 year The loss is occasiOned
not only by the death or dwarfing of
affected plants. but by the lowering of
the market value of infested land, by
the Increased cost Of cultivation of
such land due to the growth Of weeds
where the cotton has died, and by the
fact that badly diseased fields must
often be used for crops less profitable
than cotton. This situation is the
more unfortunate because 1t is for the
most part unnecessary. These dis

MANY CHAMPS IN
 LIGHTWEIGHT CLASS
Title Changes Hands Eleven
 Times Since 1872

The acquisition of the Lightweight tttle by Benny Leonard as result of his recent knockout victory over Freddy Welsh adds the eleventh nane to the undisputed list of champion ship holders In this class since 1872. Arthur Chambers was the frst of lightweight bare knuckle pugtlists to
 establish his claim to the premier po- sition in this class when defeated Billy Edwards in Canada September
 :, 1872. Chambers Is generally ac- corded the title until 1884 when he retired and was succeeded by Jack
 Dempsey. The latter soon grew too heavy and advanced to the welter. weight division, being succeeded in turn by Jack McAuliffe. He reigned undefeated, being the last of the lightweight champions to Icy aside the gloves without blemish upon his record.
 Kid I.avisne then took up the title and it was not until 1899 that Frank Erne wrested the honors from La viGne In . twenty round battle et Buffalo. Some three years later Joe Cans knocked out Erne in "a round and for six years was. generally con- ceded the championship although Jimmy Britt also claimed it when Cans would not make the weight for him after he had stopped Erne in seven rounds. In the meantime Bat tling Nelson was rapidly gaining prominence in tic division and after defeating Britt challenged Cans. He lost in the first battle on . foul in the 42nd round but followed with two knockout victories over the negro. and was hailed undisputed title holder.
 Nelson's reign lasted two years. the Dane losing to Ad wolgast on Febrt- ary 2z, 1910 at the end of forty rounds of vicious lighting when hl was both blind and helpless but still on his feet and the referee stopped l the battle to save him from furtheI punishment.
