So Mr.. Sun followed the wild ducks
out into the bay and then he shone
down over the great ocean. The RAIN
drops left as soon as Mr.. Sun appeared,
and they began to play about where
Mr.. Sun had been shining and where
he had been drawing the raindrOps
from the earth.
The people down on the earth said,
'"The sun drew water from the earth
and that's a sign of rain. To be sure,
here Is the rain. And probably quite
nearby the sun is shining. 1t always
seems so strange that In one place 1t

But they didn't know that this time
the sun and rain had arranged to
change places and that the sun was
shining just where the raindrops had
been playing!
But the King of the Clouds chuckled
as he heard the people talk.

Root-knot Increased by Most Varieties
Of cowpeas.

|
Of cowpeas.
Such varieties of cowpeas as the
WhippOorwill, Clay, Black, Unknown,
Red Ripper, New Era, and others are
so susceptible to root-knot that not
only are they seriously injured, but
the growing Of them on nematode-in-
tested fields greatly increases the num-
Der of worms in the soil, and conse-
quently the damage to subsequent cot
ton or other susceptible crops. It is
common complaint Of farmers In wilt
sections that the wilt is noticeably
more severe after a crop of cowpeas
Of variety which Is susceptible to
rOOt-knOt. This is due to the fact that
the nematodes make points of en-
trance for the wilt fungus. which then
kills or further Injuries the plants. A
few varieties of cOwpeas are highly re-
siStant to nematOdes, including the
Iron, Brabham, and Monetta. These
should be the only cOwpeas planted on
land infested with root-knot.
How to Recognize Cotton Root Knot
The detection of cotton plants affect
ed by rOOt-knOt, except by an exam
! inatiOn of the roots, Is much more DIFF
ficult than In the case Of witt. Badly
| diseased plants are distinctly stunted
but not appreciably deformed, as in
wilt, and both leaves and stem have q
peculiar sickly yellowish green color.
Measures for the Control Of Root Knot.
The rotation and diverslfication Of
crops are of fundamental Importance
to southern agriculture everywhere
and become absolutely necessary
where the root-knOt nematode Is pres
ent.
1t has been repeatedly demonstrated
by many farmers that root-knot can be
controlled by the use Of proper crop
rotations. The principles on which
such rotations are based are ~ the use
of crops immune to nematOde attacks
duced so that susceptible crops may be
prOfitably grown and (2) the eradica-
ton of all weeds subject to root-knOt.
The use of crops that will return q
profit and the building up Of the fer
tility of the soil are also important con-
sideratiOns. Every farmer must work
out for himself the particular rotations
suited to his farm and his type Of
farming.
If land is very badly infested with
nematodes as well as wilt, two-year
or three-year rotation with immune
crops is recommended before suscepti.
BILE crops, including cotton, are grown,
and they should not be grown for more
than one or two years thereafter be-
fore the rotation with immune crops
should be repeated. When the infes-
tatiOn is less severe. a one year or two
year rotation will do much to put the
land in condition to grow the crops de-
sired.
In planning rotations for land in
tested with rOot-knOt. susceptible
crops. such as tobacco, sweet potatoes,
cotton. cantaloupes. Okra, and toma-
toes should never follow one another.
The damage increases each year so
long as susceptible crops are planted.
II the first crop should escape serious
injury, the nematodes will increase In
the soil to such an extent that the Sec
ond crop will be almost sure to show
decided loss Immune crops should
always he alternated with susceptible
ones and the nematode injury thereby
reduced to a minimum.

prepared by the United States Depart

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 swellings, or gals, varying In size
from tiny engagements on the small
roots to knots an inch or more In dia-
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
peafly bodies half the size of q small
pinhead. Each female may lay several
hundred eggs, and thus the worms are
propagated.
How Root.knot 10 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, a 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 DO
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 It
Is not, as a rule, serious on soils con-
tanning a large proportion Of 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
larg" number of plants. many Of which
are important farm crops. Those SUBJ
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:

APPETIZERS.
By H. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright, 1851

II your appetite is poor it is just as
wen for you to know that the best ap-
petizers are not the iridescent liquid COM
widespread popularity.
They may for a while spur a,taded ap-
petite But they have serious disadvan-
tages. Many better and cheaper subst-
tutes for them are available
The best and cheapest appetfzer OF an
is physical exercise
When you were a boy, you remember.
you could eat and digest anything. And
everything you ate tasted good to you.
Your appetite was perpetualiy keen, per-
petually in evidence.
explanation is to be found in the Diff
ference between your habits as a boy and
your present habits.
In boyhood you were on the move most
OF the time You ran. you skated. you
played ball. you climbed trees. Perhaps
also you dug and weeded and chopped
wood.
But what do you do now?
You get up just in time to eat hurried,
scanty breakfast and catch a car to your
place OF business.
All morning you sit at a desk, debating
letters, keeping accounts. exercising only
the fingers which grip your pen or pencil.
At noon you stroll to the nearest lunch
passes
you as a lunch. and either hustle back to
work or loaf for half an hour in smoke
clouded clubroom or billiard parlor.
Your afternoon is spent IN more pen
driving. Then comes a ride homo IN a
crowded street car: dinner. perhaps a
ride back to the theater, or an evening
at home doing nothing in particular.
Thus most Of your time you are indoors,
and nearly all your time you are sitting
down. Can you wonder that the appetite
Of boyhOOd has deserted YOU?
Fresh air itself is an appetizer. an ex-
cellent appetizer. Change your scheme OF
life SO that you will get a greater amount
of fresh air.
And plan to get some physical exercise
every day.

Camp has said, every nickel saved in car
fares goes to your credit in the bank OF
health
But usually you do not really need to
limit you exercise to short walks
You can Join an athletic club Or gym
nasium- You can 30 skating in the winter
You can bowl or fence or box. You can
chop wood, shovel coal, work ir . garden.
Exercise brings hunger. and hunger
brings appetite. and appettt1 brings good

MIlS
You pruved them IN yem o~n person
when you vere o boy. You can prove
them again now that Soo are grown e

And let your enerctse as nuch as posd-
ble be in the open air. As an appetizer
