No harm to mention that the
tax collector is running notice of
his third and last round. The j
law does not require him to per-!
ambulate around the county af
ter December 20. Better see him
before that date with a little
chink.
Some of the South American i
countries have been freely insist-®
ing on the United States joining'
the league of Nations. Mexico
will soon be admitted, and she j
too will be hunching Uncle Sam
in the short ribs about the matter. 1
Having had war on her hands in
one form or another for over
three hundred years, Mexico may j
yet develop some appreciation of;
peace.
Commissioner of Agriculture .1.
J. Brown sounded a discordant
note when he appealed to Gover
nor Dorsey to call an extra ses
sion of the State Assembly to
pass a stay bill for the state of
Georgia, in which all debts would
be declared void and luncollect
able. Such a fool measure would
only add turmoil and strife to an
already annoying condition and
reflect on the financial dignity of
the state. When Mr. Brown’s
hook was hauled in there was
nothing attached but the bait
cut bait at that. When a man
misses the mark this far, it is
pitiable.
A Serious Disease of
Cabbage and Collards.
The so-called. “Black leg” di
sease of cabbage has been re
ported from several localities in
Georgia during the last few years;
and it is orobably to be found to
some extent all over the state.
It has been known in Europe for
more than 50 years, but was not
noted in the United States until
1910. Since that time it has
spread until now it is known to
occur in every important cabbage
growing region of the country.
The disease is produced by a
fungus, Phoma lingam (Tode.)
Desmaz, which seems to be
carried over from year to year
and from place to place almost
entirely on the cabbage seed.
When infested seed are sown the
stems of the young plants are
attacked near the surface of the
soil and the plants are killed out
right or else become pale in color
and grow oil very slowly. At
the tirtio the plants are ready to
set in the field tin 1 diseased
plants may be detected by this
pale color and stunted appear
ance; and. in many cases, exami
nation of the stem near the sur
face of the soil will show grayish
shrunken patches with the small
dot-like, black fruiting bodies of
the fungous scattered over their
surface. Later these spots turn
black and continue to enlarge
until the stem is so decayed and
weakened that the plant topples
over or else wills \x bile standing.
In one field under observation
of the writer, every plant in tin
field was infected and more than
90 per cent died before maturity.
. Apparently no variety of cab
bage, cauliflower, or collard is
immune to the disease; and at
tempts to select restraint strains
have so far, been unsuccessful.
Seed treatment may greatly re
duce the damage and is the onl\
remedy which has proven at all
satisfactory.
Soak the seed four hours in
water and allow the excess w ater
to drain off, then dip for ten®
minutes into a corrosive sublimate
solution (1 part corrosive sub
limate to 500 parts of water), and
after draining the seed should be
planted at once.
Where plants are grown for
sale the seed should always be
treated unless they are known to
be free from disease.
In the field the fungus does not
live very long free in the soil,
but may live for months on old
cabbage stalks. Such diseased
stalks and refuse should be re
moved, if cabbage are to be
planted in or near the same field
the following year.
