The common diseases of corn as
smut rust. root rots and ear rots are
NOT difficult to control and the cost
of prevention amounts to only a
small fraction of per cent OF the
value of the crop produced, says PROF.
James B. Berry, Plant Pathologtst or
the Georgia State College OF Agri-
culture. The financial loss to Georgia
farmers runs into many millions OF
dollars and conservative estimates
show that approximately 1000 pounds
of beef and ESQ pounds of pork could
be produced if the corn lost through
disease in every 50-acre field were FED
to cattle and hogs.
Crop rotation is the chief measure
of prevention and as factor in crop
production it has been advocated for
years by agricultural experts. Prof,
Berry says that control measures
must include:
Crop rotation. Most diseases are
carried over" from one crop to
another in the soil or on diseased
stalks of the old crop. If a resistant
crop is planted the disease organisms
die out.
Seed selection. The selection OF
seed from strong, productive disease
free plants will tend to produce indi-
viduals which are resistant to dis
ease. II the practice of careful seed
selection is carried out over a period
of years the result will be strain
markedly resistant to disease.
Avoid the application of manure
resulting from diseased fodder or
grain to fields to be planted to corn.

Bill introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf---The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South--Will Spend Mil
lions Among the Uneducated

The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
missionaries brought TO light con-
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote tha
education of illiterates throughout the
length and breadth of America. S0n@<
tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro1
duced a bill in the Senate ito Dromot0
the education of illiterates, Of peRsons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and other resident per-
sons of foreign birth" and the same
measure has been introduced in tna
House by Hon. William B. Bankhsad.
OF Alabama.
The introduction of this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of Its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne q
reputation for il1iteracy out Of proper
tfon to that OF the rest Of the coun-
try. Just what steps will be immedi-
ately taken as the result OF the passage
of the education OF illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that OF
the government are at work on the
same problem-the establishment OF
schools in the heart of tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being
matter of first Importance with all OF
them. One of the most significant
movements of the times in this con-
nection is that Of the Centenary OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church.

$4,000 900 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise fund
of $35 ,000, 900 in an eight-day drive In
April, the financial campaign being a
part of the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination. The money 10 be-
ing raised with a view to putting the
work of the church ON a business
basis, the church considering its duty
to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters of first importance
which 1t should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result OF the
campaign will be the apportionment OF
81 GOO. 900 among the various illiterate
population as follows: Mountain pop
ulation, $750,0O0; immigrant, 10000;
negroes, $5O0.000 Indians, S15O,OOO;
cotton mill population, $4,000; Chris
tian literature for all of them, 100000.
With the definite step undertaken
at Washington, with one denomination
already completing its plans for FUR
thering the work among them. and
with other churches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf. it is more than possible that
the illiterates of the South are in
fair way to soon become educated citi'
zens of the United States.
