Published 1901 NUMBER 8 Cotton Leaders Fight Diseases An educational [ program to fight diseases of cotton is being con- ducted in Georgia and across the cotton belt by agricultural leaders. The objective of the campaign is to reduce the huge annual losses which cotton farmers suffer because of seed rot, aore-shin or damping-off, angular leaf spot and anthracnose boll rot. Proper treatment with a seed disinfectant can reduce the effects of all these diseases and the importance of seed treatment is being empha¬ sized by a poster and by educational releases on the subject from the Georgia Extension Service. Because of the huge cotton production goal for 1951 and a below average supply of cottcn seed, the treatment of 4-H Members Will Observe Special Week, March 3-11 Georgia’s 120,000 Four-H boys and girls will join two million 4-H throughout the nation in an inventory of their work kerms of national defense as they celebrate National Club Week, March 3 to 11, ac¬ cording to W.
