PEANUT DISEASES
information From Patholosists on
Spots and Rusts.

/ Clemson COLLEGE, Oct.-About this
time of year the peanut is usually
attacked by leaf spot organism,
which produces dark brown to black
circular spots about one-fourth to
three-eights of an inch in diameter
on the leaves. The lower leaves are
usually attacked first, and the young
er greener ones later. The damage
done varies from nothing to consider
able. ...
Nothing can be done ordinarily to
prevent the attack. 1t is known that
the disease is not transmitted on the
seed and that seed treatment is there
fore of no value. Spraying, while it
might help, is too expensive to use
on field crop. All that can be done
is to give the best cultural conditions
in which case a good crop can usual
ly be produced in spite Of the fungus.
Another disease, as yet unknown
in this state but really more threat
ening to peanut growing, is peanut
rust. In the winter Of 1919, DR.. J. c.
Arthur, the greatest American au-
thority on rusts called attention to
this fungus. 1t was then unknown in
this country, and he warned against
the danger that it would be introduc-
ed. In very short time it was dis
covered in Florida, first as an unim-
portant local infection, and later in
another locality as a more serious
trouble. Unless it has since been pos
sible to stamp out the disease in
these places of its first appearance,
it carries very serious threat to
peanut growing all over the south. It
may be recognized by the presence
on the leaves of yellow pustules.
which resemble the pustules of bear
rust, wheat rust, etc. Leaves having
a suspicious appearance should be
sent to the Botany Division, Glenn
son College, S. c., for examination,
as it is very important to learn at
once Of any infections which may oc-
cur within the state.

Only one other contest will be held
in the county this season previous to

been much interest in the butter con-
test during the summer and now that
the season draws to a close, Mrs.
Bell, home demonstration agent,
hopes that all those who have taken
an interest so far will make spe-
cial effort for these last two scorings.
Special effort is being made to have
many new entrants in the contest

AFTER THE OFFICERS

The word is being passed around
to the different War Department
bureaus to get rid of all possible
army officers stationed in Washing
ton. The reason is to minimize criti-
cism by Congress about swivel chair
officers who have been in the capi-
tai for months. The War Depart
ment business is being wound up
rapidly, but they have continued on
the job.
Just how many officers there are
in Washington it is impossible to
tell owing to the fact that the num-
Der fluctuates continuously, but it
is we'll in excess of 1000.
Owing to the slack commercial
situation few officers Of late have
applied for discharge, feeling that
they might as we'll remain on the
Government payroll as long as pos
sible.-New York Herald.

DIR. A. w. ARUNDEL
GOES TO HARTSVILLE

The following is from the Harts'
vile correspondent in the Columbia
State:
The Rev. Alfred Arundel, D. D.,
has recently come to Hartsville
from Greenwood. He succeeds the
Rev. R. F. Blackford, who resigned
as rector of St. Bartholomew Epis-
copal church here to become rector
of St. Peter's-By-The-Sea at the
Navy yard Charleston. DR.. Arundel
is an Englishman, having been born
and reared in England. He is being
we'll received by the community and
his congregation as a gentleman of
pleasing address.
Mr.. Blackford during his stay in
Hartsville of 1S months did most
excellent work, not only among the
people of his parish, but throughout
the entire community. He is very
much missed.

5000 BALES ARE SHIPPED
BY EXPORT COMPANY

Columbia, Jan. 27.-Since the ini-
tial shipmen tof 600 bales, made just
before Christmas, the American
Products Export and Import corpora
ton, the so-called cotton export cor
poration, has shipped to Europe up
to January 20, 1900 additional bales
making a total of about 5000 bales
now on the water consigned to Europe
One of the primary purposes of
this organization, which is an out
growth of the American Cotton Asso-
citation, is to open up the markets of
Europe, now practically closed, to the
south's staple and to furnish the ne
cessary credits to this end. The cot
ton export corporation, headed by
former Gov. Richard I. Manning, of
South Carolina, secured it's charter
in December and is now going con-
Germ. Shipments abroad are slower
than they would be except for the ne
cessity of rigid investigation of the
mills and banks endorsing the paper
and the general conditions surround
ing them, but that shipments are ac-
tually being made under favorable
commercial conditions is regarded as
proving the practicability of the plan
under which the corporation is oper-
ating.
"The outlook for a good and ex-
panding business abroad is even bet
ter and brighter than we anticipat-
ed" Governor Manning declares. "At
the same time we must use every
precaution so that our transactions
will be as safe as possible. We can
not promise the public sudden i'm
provement in general conditions, but
we are working steadily along lines
that.we believe will be satisfactory
to the stockholders and factor in
improving general conditions.
The domestic business of the cor
poration is also reported to be mov--
ing satisfactorily.

of United States senators. The
Georgia senator had just remarked
that ne did not believe in paying by
the head. United States senators
are paid in that manner. Senator
Smith did not think that the system
of paying senators should be alter
ed. Senator Smith asked: "In what
way, up or dewn?"
Senator Johnson replied: "Some
are worth more than what they re-
ceive. I would not insinuate that
any are WORTH less. So you ought to
have graded scale for senator's"
"It would be very difficult to dis
criminate between senator's" re-
piled Senator Smith. 81 could
scarcely estimate the value of the
service of the senator from Califor-
MA"
"Of course" retorted Senator
Johnson. "I had in mind the trans
