RIGHT CARE FOR
CABBAGE FIELDS

CROP ROTATION is FAVORED
Seed Bed 10 Often Source Of Infection

Taken to Insure Healthy Plants
Use Lime Freely.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Ag~riculture.)
Cabbage diseases which have been
known to destroy practically entire
crops are preventable in the main by
simple methods Of plant sanitation.
Crop rotation is one Of the chief foes
Of these diseases. Rotations should be
practiced, avoiding crops which belong
to the cabbage family, such as cauii-
flower. turnips, Brussels sprouts, and
kale. Keep down mustard and weeds
which harbor cabbage pests. Drainage
water and refuse from diseased cab
bage fields may carry infection. as will
terial has been mingled. The seed bed
is often a source of infection, and the
greatest pains, therefore, should be
taken to insure healthy plants. Locate
the seed bed on new ground IL pos
sible, or sterilize by steam the soil that
is used. Disinfect all cabbage seed be-
fore planting to prevent black-rot and
black-leg. Clubroot is avoided by the
free use of lime and by setting healthy
plants.
How Diseases Are Spread.
Fungous and bacterial diseases are
carried from n place to another by
various means, such rs insects, in
fected seed, transplanting from an in
fected seed bed to the field, drainage
water, cabbage refuse and stable ma
nure, farm animals and tools, and
wind. In view Of these facts the chief
aim of the farmer should be to pre-
vent, If possible, the introduction and
distribution of destructive diseases on
several precautions should be observed,
of which the more important are the
disinfection OF seed, the location and
care of the seed bed, and crop rotation.
To disinfect seed, use one ounce Of
formaldehyde (4O per cent? to two
gallons of water, or n teaspoonful
to a ~teacupful Of water. Soak the
seed for 20 minutes In this solution,
dip in clear water to wash off the for
maldehyde. and then spread in thin
layers to dry, stirring II needed.
TO Disinfect Soil.
To avoid danger OF spreading the
disease to noninfected fields by means
Of the plants from the seed bed, the
following recommendations are made
for d~isinfecting the soil in which the
plants are grown: Sterilization by
means of drain tile laid In the bottom
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1918-05-03

Of the beds, through which steam Is
passed: by ear Of al inverted pan
under which steam Is admitted; or by
drenching the soil with q formalin So
luton consisting Of 1 to 100. or l
to 200 solution Of formaldehyde.
Crop rotation Is an essential practice
whether or not 1t is necessary In the
control Of any plant maladies. There
are fungous diseases which
appear year after year on the same
1eld. Some Of them, such a. clubroot
Of cabbage, are strictly soil parasites
and cannot be controlled by any fun
gicide. About the only method left to
get rid Of the organisms Is to starve
them out. and this a be done only
by a well-planned system OF crop ro-
tation. For ordinary practice. q rota-
tion OF four or Ave years 70 sufficient
to reduce greatly the loss from most
parasites. Deep and frequent cu1tiva-
tion By means Of which the organisms

of this county. He was convicted
of murder before Judge Thomas S.
Sease, of Spartanburg with recon-
mendation to mercy, at the first trial
and was sentenced to serve the re
mainder of his life behind the prison
walls. Attorneys for Rish appealed
to the. State supreme court and that
tribunal sent it back for another
hearing under some error. The sec

slaughter, and the court sentenced
the defendant to serve seven years.
From this decision the attorneys for

prisoners escaped from the prison last
Tuesday morning and yesterday

There is no doubt but that the

PART
SHOWN IN DEAD
AS Yet, However; They Are. Engag'
ed Only in Limited
Extent.

Washington, June 22.-The stead
ily increasing participation of Amer
lean troops in the ighting in France
was sharply marked in today's casu
atty lists. Of the 153 men named, 53
including three officers were killed IN
action, the heaviest death roll from
the BATTLEFIELD yet made pubic.
Probably no particular action Is
responsible for the number Of killed,
but it is an accumulation from the
five or six sections of the front where
Americans are fighting and from pa
troll actions, as we'll as from larger
operations like the attack yesterday
near Chateau -Thierry to rectlfy the
lines. Great care is exercised in for
warding the lists not to reveal the. los
ses in any particular engagement.
The British take the same precau
tons, yet the casualty lists last week
passed the thirty thousand mark.
During the week so far as known:
the British were involved in no najo
operations except on the Italian front
A comparison Of the American and
British lines, however; in some meas
ure forms a gauge Of the, limited ex
tent to which the United States has as
yet been able to bring its power to
bear against the German invaders.

BIease spoke last summer.
IN his address Thursday, Mr. Blease
said he was opposed to this war and
had SO stated in several speeches and
had no apology to makes for any
speech he had ever made. When tins
war is ended and the people come e 2tae
realize the suffering it has caused ane ane
the labor conditions and all The other
horrors then viii it be time to decide
who was right. He asked if It was z
s, great crime to be in accord with Jesus sss
Christ and the doctrine Of peace orl o
earth and good viii TO men. He cit:
ed Robert E. Lee as being opposed
to secession and yet no man IN al
history has been honored as ne has
been and when his State seeded he
went with it, though he. was opposed
to the war. S. i..s ,,ase
s Wade Hampton was opposed TO Sc.
cession. yea when war was declared

the other day they named law school
at the University for James 1. Peti-
erue. who was opposed to secession
and iauliifcation. Yet because l
was opposed to this country going
into the war I must be branded a
traitor to my country.
s. Right down deep in their hearts ~
per cent of the people were opposed

went into the war and said we would
have war to the hilt, I was with my
