ment Of Agriculture)
Root-knot of cotton and other crops
Is caused by minute eelworms, or nema-
todes, which bore into the roots and
live there. The irritation Of their pres
ence results in the formation of irregu-
lar swelllngs, or gals, varying In size
from tiny engagements on the small
roots to knots an inch or more In dla-
meter on the large ones. The male
worms are too small to be seen with
the naked eye, but the females when
full of eggs assume a spherical shape
and may often be distinguished In
freshly-broken roots as glistening
pearly bodies half the size of small
pinhead. Each female may lay several
hundred eggs, and thus the worms are
propagated.
How Root-Knot Is Spread.
Root-knot may be carried from one
field to another by any agency which
will transfer some of the nematOdes or
their eggs, in exactly the same manner
that wilt Is disseminated. Drainage
water is perhaps one of the most i'm
portant means of spreading root-knot.
In addition, common agency for the
introduction of the nematode into new
territory Is nursery stock. Seeding
pecans, peaches, figs, mulberries, or
pomegranates, and young asparagus,
cabbage, eggplant, strawberry, tobacco
and tomato plants purchased from in
tested sections may carry the worms In
their roots or in the soil adhering to
them. In the West, where the nema-
tode occurs quite commonly on the 20
tato, the worms are carried In the
tubers.
Sandy Soils Most Subject to Root
Knot.
Root-knot is essentially a disease of
light soils. Although the disease may
occur on heavier soils than wilt, yet 1t
Is not, as a rule. serious on soils con-
tanning q large proportion or clay. In
general, the lighter the soil the more
severe the root-knot injury. The places
of greatest damage are usually light
sandy spots or ridges in infected fields.
In gardens which have been highly fer
tilted with stable manure root-knot is
often very severe.
Root-Knot Attacks Many Farm Crops.
Unlike wilt, root-knot attacks a very
large number Of plants, many of which
are important farm crops. Those sub
ject to root-knot injury may be d.
vided into two groups, according to
their degree of susceptibility. Some Of
the crops most severely attacked by
root-knot are as follows:

ible crops can be grown until the
worms increase sufficiently to cause
damage, when another rotation is nee
essary.
The following crops are largely or
entirely immune to root-knot:

we thought we might get a shot.
Mr.. Row used the woods for a horse

the horses died. Mr.. Murphy and I
often visited the dead horse and so
did the wolves, but we never visited
all at the same time. The wolves
seemed to time their visits 80 as not
