BLACKROOT RESISTING COTTON.
Department of Entomology Has Suc
cessfully Grown Resistant Kind.
Atlanta, Ga.—Resistant varieties of
cotton, which will throw off the dread
diseases of black root and anthrac
nose, so prevalent in this state, have
been successfully grown in Georgia
this year, and it now seems only a
question of time before these two
menaces to the cotton crop will be
entirely eradicated. &
‘Professor A. C. Lewis/of ‘the state
department of entomology, in charge
of cotton culture, has spent some time
in South Georgia, picking the cotton
which has stood the tests, with a view
to securing the seed for more wide
spread dissemination mext season. In
two-score of the most afflicted points
in South Georgia, the resistant varie
ties were planted by him this spring,
and this fall the splendid results are
shown by a good stand and multiplic
ity of well-developed bolls devoid of
any disease, The seed from this cot
ton will be brought to Atlanta and
from this point distributed to infected
sections of the state in small quanti
ties next spring, so that these resis
ant varieties may be grown and there
after generally used.
It is recalled that at the recent
session of the legislature SIO,OOO was
appropriated for the purpose of fight
ing the black root, which is costing
Georgia hundreds of thousands of dol
lars anmually, Since the various
counties have been organized to be
gin a crusade against these diseases,
and the use of these resistant varie
ties will be one of the methods used.
Not only does black root and an
thracnose destroy the cotton line, but
also the cotton seed itself, a most
valuable part of the cotton crop, now,
each year. There are several humn
dred cotton oil mills in this state
that consume all the cotton seed mar
keed and, in addition, to giving the
planter a good price for his cotton
seed, furnish him in return cotton
seed meal, the best and cheapest cat
tle feed to be had; cotton seed oil,
which, in a compound, is rapidly sup
planting hog lard, and, in its refined
state, a condiment for his table that
cannot be surpassed,
The success of these resistant vari
eties of cotton seed will be watched
with interest,

Georgia farmers are keenly interest

say, bagging and ties, which may
rightfully be placed about a bale of

has been aroused hy the announce

cotton merchants in the state to the
effect that if a bale of cotton has more

twenty pounds of ties, 50 cents will
be deducted from the total ppice paid

Rains Followed by Drought.
Washington, D. C.—Financial ang
weathier conditions combined produés
ed the mcst untavorable report trom
the department of agriculture on the
condition of the cotton crop that :;,_';
been made this season for many
years. The ofiicial report indicates
that on September 25 the condition
of the cotton crop was 58.5 per cenl
of normal, as compared with 63.7 pel
cont on August 25, 1909; 69.7 on Sep’
tember 25, 1908; 67.7 on Septempef
25, 1907, and 67 per cent on the avs
erage for ten years on September 25
1909, gt o
After the announcement by the dé
partment of agriculture of the figures
tecording the average for this month
Dr. A. 8. Knapp, chief of the“"fiQ:é"f
ative demaqnstration work for the dés
partment of agriculture in the south)
after the conterence with Secretary
Wilson, said that the serious falling
off in the figures, especially for Louiss
iana and M:ississippi, was due to tyed
conditions — one was the excessivel
rainfall in the early part of the cotton
crop season, followed by a serious
drought, and the second was the fi ,
ure of cotton planters to obtain ad.
vances on their crops from bankers.
The latter reason forced the plan Lers
to dismiss a considerable part of 't 18ir
labor at a time when the boll weevil
was a most serious pest. ARI
Dr. Knapp stated that another resay
son which induced a falling off in the
general average of Louisiana was that
there was practically 30 per cent less
of acreage in‘cotton than in previous
years, o AHE
‘the boll weevil did serieus damage
during the past year in the southwest
ern quarter of Mississippi. A o
“In my judgment,” said Dr. Kuap‘f;
“the really serious trouble, which ap
plies to all the cotton -states,"_,wg%
brought about by the excessive rain
fall in the early part of the season
and the excessive drought in the lat:
ter part. In some of the cm,
ers scarc&y could obtain water

homa. What is known as the Néw
Orleans storm which passed _up
through portions of Louisiana &nd
western Mississippi, blew out ‘im
mense quantities of cotton and sery
ed seriously to detract from thej'x
cellence of the crep.” i
Secretary Wilson declined to make
any statement regarding the figures
given out by his department. He said
that he would talk about the wheat
crop, about the condition of cattle in
the west and about almost anything
but cotten. He said that Dr, Kdapp
knew more about the cotton ‘crop,
from practical observance of ca&di
tions in the sotuh than any ofHer
man in the department, and he had
nothing to add to the statement made
by him. !
