 Wilt is spread by the direct growth of the casual fungus through the soil and by any agency which will transfer disease ?infected soil from one field to another. such as cultivators, blows and the feet of men and animals, and drainage water.
 The control of cotton wilt and the best varieties of cotton to use will be thoroughly explained by Prof. M R. Ensign, assistant pathologist of the U. s. department of agriculture and the University of Arkansas co-op- .erating at the court house Wednesday Pmorning at Il o'clock.
 We were very fortunate in getting Professor Ensign just at this time and hope every farmer that has an acreage of sandy loam on his farm will be present and hear what Pro- lessor Ensign has to say.

C0TT0N WILT IS
 CAUSING LOSSES
 IN THIS COUNTRY
Edited By
 c. H. THOMAS, County Farm Agricultural Agt.
| t +++ *++ ++ * * +

Large acreages of Jefferson coun- ty land are infected annually with cotton wilt. An estimate of 5000 infested acres last year was made by Mir. l.. O. Watson, cotton special .ist of the department of agriculture ill visit in the county.
 Throughout the sandy sections of the county where wilt occurs every year to an increasing extent, there is urgent need for fuller under standing of this disease and the inn portant relation 1t bears to the farmers margin of profit. Wilt causes serious losses to the cotton crop not only by killing large num- bers of plants, but, further, by stunt ing very many others, and thus greatly reducing the wield. Often the farmer has not noticed this or attributed it to an unfavorable sea- son, poor soil, lack of proper fertil- ization. or some lcal conditin. Where

this disease ccurs the loss is often so great that it becomes well-nigh impossible by the usual methods of cultivation to grow cotton without all actual loss. In other words, wilt then becomes the most important linn iting factor in the production of cot. ton. To remedy this condition, the whole scheme of farming must often be changed and planned with special reference to the control of it.
 The use of wilt-resistant varieties of cotton is more essential to the profitable growing of the crop in bad ly diseased areas than fertilization or cultivation, although these are of prime importance.
 Cotton wilt occurs to a greater or less extent on practically every farm in the country having quantity of sandy soil on it and is rapidly spread ing. It is very difficult to form a very accurate estimate of the dam age caused D ythis disease. In a careful survey last summer we found from 25,O0O to 35,000 acres affected. The loss is caused not only by the death or dwarfing of affected plants, by leaving the nature of the fiber ] that is sometimes called burnt cot ton by our cotton ginners, by the in- creased cost of cultivation of such land, due to the growth of weeds and grass where the cotton has died, and by the fact that badly infested fields must often be used for other crops less profitable than cotton. This situation is the more unfortunate because it is for the most part un- necessary.
 1 How to Recognize Wilt.
 When the leaves of cotton plants wilt and fall without any apparent reason, black-root or wilt is to be suspected. If freshly wilted plant is examined and the interior of the stem or roots is found to be brown ed or blackened, the disease is almost sure to be wilt. Certain kinds ot dwarfing of the main stem are like wise characteristic of wilt. This is often accompanied by the normal de velopment of one or more of the basal limbs, due to partial infection The disease makes its appearance frequently about the middle of June and may continue through the re- mainder of the growing season. after few days of hot rainy weather, the effect of tn edisease is most notice able as practically matured plants will die or wilt suddenly. The first appearance of wilt in field is us- ually in small areas which enlarge each season. Outside the spots where the plants are killed, dwarfed and sickly plants occur, which may survive and produce small crop. , Wilt Caused by Fungus.
 Wilt is caused by fungus, min. ute rlant growth, which enters the roots from the soil. It grows vigor- ously in the water-carrying vessels of the roots and stems causing them to turn black. It shuts off wholly ol

Choosing a Variety of Corn.

Choosing a Variety Of COrn.
 There are many varities of corn, which the Arkansas Corn Growers may grow, and so few which conform to any standard that it is confusing to know what variety or varieties can be recommended for given conditions. Ordinarily the safest varities to grow are those native corns Wnlcn have made in the locality for num- Der of years.
 If good native grown seed corn can not be obtained, and if investigation shows that certain varieties lntroduc- ed from distant sources would be pro fitabIe, then get in touch with us ana let us assist you ngetting some first class variety from some local com munity.
 In corn variety tests conducted at Scotts and at Fayetteville and with numerous cooperatives, wide differ ences have been found between the re- sistance of different varietls to ln- juries and insect damage.
 Varieties in tests which have yield ed well under medium upland condl- tions are: Surcropper, Biggs. Seven Ear, Southern Beauty, Hickory King, Boon County White, and Silnerminee, (The last too are medium early north ern varieties.) Such varieties are drouth resistent, when planted early and consequently are safe yielders, the lacking in resistance to conditions causing unsoundness.)
 Varieties in tests which have yield ed we'll on fertile bottoms soils are !: first, varieties, Maulhors, Weekleys Improved, and Biggs Seven-ear; Sec ond, varieties of medium prolific type NeaPs Paymatser, and Southern Beauty; and third, single-ear late var ieties, Calhoun Red Cole, Huffman St. Charles White.
 Any time we can be of assistance to you in obtaining seed corn call on us.

TIMELY HINTS TO FARMERS

1. Finish picking that cotton crop before you put in the next one.
 2. Start the stalk cutting as soon as possible. 3. Turn under all the plant refuse and do not burn 1t off, the soil needs it. 4. Plant a few acres of Burt Oats at once for early feed. This oat is the best of the spring varieties. 5. Get your garden in shape; pull all old roots and burn them before ploying as they carry diseases. The garden and potato patch can not be too thoroughly prepared.
 6. Look over your seed list and see that all seeds you are going to plant are good. 2. Treat your potato seed for scab. Buy only clean and best seeds.

Lets put aside tomorrow's roast. And eat a meal of hot milk toast. We'll make the toast of crusts you
 know,
 And use more milk to make it go. Such simple food will do us good. We'll help our allies as we should; We'll send the meat across to them, And to our own wounded soldier men, And we will dine on hot milk toast In every State from coast to coast"
 Value of Milk.
 Milk is our most nourishing, digest ible and usually economical food. It is our one perfect food-that is it con- tains all of the foodstuffs viz: Pro- tain; carbohydrate (sugar), fat, min- eral matter and water. Milk is one of the best body building and tissue repairing foods available. Good evil dence fthis is the fact that babies live and grow on milk alone, Many babies lives are lost in large cities because they are fed on impure adul- terated milk.
 All children should drink at least one quart of milk every day and adults a pint of good clean milk. Milk should above all things be clean. There are a great many caus- es of contamination in milk, due to various causes.
 Some due to the milker or producer
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-02-02


 are:
 l. Dust in air.
 ?. Dirty barns.
 3. Dusty food.
 4. Dirt from under the Hanks. 5. Diseased cows.
 Dirty or careless milkers. 8. Improper or dirty milk pails. g. Dirty containers. 10. Lack of sunlight, air, and im-
 proper drainage in barns. Il. Allowing milk to become heat k ed in hauling.
 12. Flies or insects in milk. Due to the consumer are: 1. Receiving milk in open contain
 CTS.
 2. Failure to put milk in cool place
 as soon as received. 3. Taking milk bottles into sick
 room.
 4. Placing milk in cracked or
 clipped vessels.
 5. Wiping milk receptacles with
 dirty dish cloth.
 6. Placing money or tickets in milk
 bottles.
 2. Flies or insects in milk.
 Milk For Children. Give children whole milk. Don't skim the milk. Let them have it with cream. Clean, rich fresh milk and plenty of it makes them grow. It gives them rosy cheek bright eyes, strong bodies, and good brains. Refuse the children tea and coffee but always give them milk. Encourage them to drink it; put in on their cereal; pour it on the toast; make it into pudding; mix it into custard. Yes, use milk and use it freely. Economize on other foods but don't economize on milk! Drink Buttermilk. Buttermilk is an excellent food, an appetizer, and harmless stimulant. For health and pleasure no dring ex- cells good cold pure buttermilk. It is good for everybody, but Is more val uable for invalids and children.
