Thursday Morning, December 9, 1920. 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. B. B. Higgins, Botanist. Tax Collector’s 3rd and Last ltound.
