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.
