PF INTEREST TO FARMERS
Investigation of tho Blight In
South Carolina Fields by
tho United States
Government.
Tho Unitod Statoa Dopartinont pf
Agrioulturo has Just publishod, as bul
lotin No. 27 of tho Division of Vogota
bio Physiology and Pathology, tho ro
port of W. A. Orton as60oiato patholi
gist of tho division, on tho subjoot of
tho wilt disoaso of ootton, a blight that
has wrought groat havoo in tho soa
island ootton fi o Ul y and has nttaokod
flomo upland ootton distriots in South
Oarolina. Mr. Orton and Dr. Erwin
F. Smith, whoBO roport on tho samo
eubjoot is roforrod to in this latosb bul
letin, visitod this sootion last yoar and
spout oonsiderablo timo in studying tho
disoaso and soarohing for a romody.
Tho roport is aooompaniod by sovoral
platos showing tho ei?uot of tho disoaso
on fiolds of ootton it has attaokod.
Mr. Orton says tho wilt disoaso is
now known to ooour on tho ooast of
South Carolina, whoro it attaaks tho
fino soa island ootton, and at Dilling,
Saltors, and other places in tho samo
Stato, whoro it attack? upland ootton.
Prof. ff, S. Karlo, of tho Stato ex
ff?rimont atatiou, roporta it to bo wido
y di?tributod in Alabama, particularly
in tho southern part, and statos that it
ia undoubtedly growing worso from
yoar to yoar. It has boon ropor'tod
from many localities in Qoorgia, and is
known to ooour in Florida and Arkan
sas. lt is certain that this disoaso is
widoly distributed through tho South
ern Statos, and it is probable that it
ooours in many plaoos whoro it has not
yot boon distinguished from othor trou
bles, suoh aa "rust" and tho olloots of
lightning.
Tho annual loss from tho wilt disoaso
is vory considerable, lt is moro koon
ly folt by tho individual plantors than
moBt ootton troubloB, booauao tho dis
ease remains in thc soil and grows
worso, with oaoh auoooodiug orop. On
tho soa islands of South Oaroliua alono
a oaroful ostimato indioatos that nearly,
if not quito, ono-third of tho laud
plautod to high-grado ootton is aifootod
by this disoaso, tho largor portion of it
so badly that it is no longor profitable
to plant it in ootton. Tho loss to tho
planters of upland ootton in aroa? af
footcd and tho disoaso is spreading rap
tionally groat. On ono farm in Dillon,
S. C., whoro tho dopartmont has boon
oonduoting somo experiments, fiftoon
aoros of ?no laud aro already aifootod
and tho diBoaBO is Bproading rapidly on
this and adjoining plantations.
Tho importance of tho disoaso, how
ovor, does not lie no much in tho
amount of tho present loss as in tho
dangor of its futuro inorouso, for it mujt
'sultimatoly aproad BO muoh aa to ontail
'far groatcr IOBSOB and possibly throaton
tho lifo of tho industry unless tho
mothoda for ita oontrol i?ro perfootod.
Tho wilt ia vorV disliuot from any
othor diaeaso ol' ootton, BO that thoro
nood bo no difficulty in its idontifioa
tion. It usually makos it first appoar
anoo in tho spriug about t'.io last of May,
when tho plants aro six to eight inohos
high. It appears in well defined areas,
which onlargo if ootton ia planted on
tho samo laud again. Tho tir?t outward
indioation ot' its prosonoo is a dwarfed
growth and unhealthy appearance of
tho plants. Tho loaves turn yollow bo
twoon tho voinn, their margins shrivel
up, and some plantB wilt and dio at onoo.
In other plants tho progress of tho
disoaso is often slow, and many of thom
live tho entire Bummor and dio lato in
tho soason. On outting norona tho stom
of a disoascd plant, tho woody pan
will bo found to bo staiuod brown
whorovor tho disoaso is present. In tho
abaonoo of micro SCOpio examinations,
this brown discoloration of ihu internal
tissue ?B tho bent ooular ovidcuoc of tho
prosonoo of the wilt disease. Plants
may partially rcoover from a severo at
taok ot tho wilt disoaso by tho develop
mont of Btrong lateral branches near
tho ground. Such planta may ho did
tinguiahod by theil dwarfed and bushy
appoaranoo and by tho tondonoy of their
brauohcB to lie prostrate on tho ground
Tho oautio of tho wilt disease of oot
ton is a fungus, ucoooamoapura vaain
foota (Alk.) Erw. Sm., winch attacks
tho plantB from tho Boil. It that on tere
tho smaller roots and Bubscquoutly
grows from thoao iuto tho taproot and
Btom, tilling tho water duots with ita

ply of food and moisture carried up
from tho roots ?B greatly decreasod and
tho symptom? doacribed aboyo aro pro
duood. Tho naturo of tho fungus has
boon fully discussed in bulletin No. 17
of this division, and it will not bo no
oossary to enter into details herc, but
only to outlino tho aubjeot and to re
cord somo additions to our knowlodgo.
Tho progross of tho diaeaso is always
slow as compared with that of othor
plant disonsos. Tho period of incuba
tion, or tho time elapsing after tho
young Boodling is exposed to tho at
taoka of tho fungus and boforo tho dis
oaso becomes manifest, ia usually at
loast forty days and often muoh longor.
Muoh doponds on tho individual plant
it?olf. Tho oonditiona whioh favor tho
progross of tho fungus through tho plant
aro not fully underatood, but from somo
observations that have boon mndo it is
boliovod that highly fortilizod plants,
growiny vigorously, suooumb moro
pooror than thoso whioh havo grown on
roadily soil.
In tho oarly history of tho wilt dis
oaso tho oauso was supposed by tho
plantors to bo tho exoeasivo applica
tions or injudicious uao of oommcroial
fortilizors, and many of tho leading
plantors in tho Boa islanda mado oaro
ful oxporimonta with various modifi
cations of their fertilizer:), f-uoh na tho
uso of marl, Bait mud, kainit, and limo,
and tho inoroaao or decrease of tho
proportions of prosphorio aoid and pot- !
ash. Mr. W. Ch ilinson of Jamos Inl
and, South Carolina, a very suoooas
ful plantor, ha? informed tho writer
that the rot ult of all thoso trials han
boon to oonvinco thoso who mado thom
that tho disoaso oan not bo oontrollod
by any ohangos in their syHtem of fer
tilizing. Tho wilt disoaso ooours in no
many widoly separated looalitio? and
undor suoh varied cultural conditions
that it is -not probablo that any errors
in tho agrioultural practice aro tho
primary oauso of tho trouble, although
tho planting of ootton year aftor yoar
on tho samo land and tho common prac
tico of plowing undor tho laat yoar's
Stoma in preparing tho ground in tho
spring both tond to haaton tho spread
of tho wilt fungus aftor it has onoo
boon introduced.
Tho effcot of ropoatod infootions of
the small roots ot tho ootton is very
notioeablo, onpooially whon tho plants
ato somowhat roBiataul to tho diaoaao.
Small tufts of roots grow from oaoh
point of inf notion, doubtlosson aooount
of somo stimulus oxortod by tho fun
gus. Sovoral short roots will thus
start from a plaoo whioh would normal
ly havo prcduood ono longor branch.
Many of thoso little roots aro killod
by tho fungus and othors grow in thoir
plaooa, so that tho tuf tod appoaranoo
of tho rootlots is moro pronounood lato
\n ihn lemuno. Tho na mn ronni t has
boon produced in tho laboratory by in
novating noodling cotton plants with
puro culture!) of tho ootton-wilt fun
gus. Similar root tufts aro found as
sociated with tho wilt disoasos of okra,
cowpoa, watermelon and cabbage aaa
thoy aro boliovod to bo characteristic of
this class of root disoasos.
In tho oaso of cotton thoir prosonco
on tho roots do no ns tratos tho prosonco
of tho wilt fungus in tho soil, oven
whon tho amount is so small that no
harm is visiblo asido from tho roduood
growth of tho plants. This dwarfing
of tho plants is duo to tho killing of tho
small roots and is ofton visiblo ovor a
considerable aroa surrounding a badly
i nf oo tod spot. For this reason tho loss
in yied on such a Hold is much greater
than would appear simply from a ooo
sidoration i f tho badly disoasod aroas,
as tho dwarfing duo to tho injuring of
tho small roots aonsidorahly ourtails tho
yiold.
Sinoo tho publication of bulletin No.
17, tho wilt disoaso has boon produood
in hoalthy cotton plants by inoculating
tho soil in which thoy grow with puro
cultures of oonidial stagos of ncoooB
mosporavas infoota. This romovos any
doublas to thc oasualrolation of thofun
gU3 to tho disoaso which might ar iso from
tho failure of tho previous inoculation
experiments. Tho plants woro grown
for a fow wooka in pots, and thou a
small quantity of fungus from a paro
cultuturo was plaood in tho bottom of
oaoh ono. Eight days lator thoy woro
transplanted to opon ground. Tho first
caso appeared af tor about thirty-fivo
days. Fourtoon out of twenty-four
planta contracted tho disoaso. Tho fun
gus w?s abundant in tho vascular bun
dles of seven planta and thoy showed
all tho othor symptoms of tho disoaso.
Tho othor scvon infootod planta woro
only slightly diaoasod, although tho fun
gus waa found in tho VOBSOIS of tho
atom. Tho chook plants, twenty-fivo
in numbor, all rcmainoi hoalthy. It
will bo notod that tho longth of timo
botwoon tho inoculation of tho soil and
tho appoaranoo of thodlaoaaoin thia ex
periment (thirty-fivo to fifty days) was
praotioal ly tho samo aa elapsos in tho
Hold botwoon tho germination of tho
aood and tho first appoaranoo of
tho diaoaso. That a largor proportion
of tho inoculations did not auooood ia
boliovod to bo duo to tho email amount
of fungua usod and to the natural rosis
tanoo of tho plaata. Tho cotton plant
inoculation dosoribod in builotiu No. 17
woro all mado in tho groonhouao, and it
ia now boliovod that tho nogativo results
woro duo oithor to tho alow growth of
tho plants or to tho faot that thoy wore
naturally rosiatant.
Caroful oxporimonts havo boon mado
with a largo numbor of substances appli
ed to tho soil in tho hopo of killing tho
fungus, but all t ie resulto _ obtainod
up to tho prosont tima indicate that
there ia no hopo of auoooaa in tho uso
of any fungicides aprayod on tho plants
or applied to tho soil.
Fields uniformly infootod with wilt
disoaso woro aolootcd, and ovor twonty
different substances woro applied in
amounts aa largo as it waa thought safe
to uso. In many oaaoa tho oxpenao of
thoir application in auch quantities wan
BO groat as to mako thoir uso impraotiblo
had thoy proved efficacious. In othor
oasos, as in tho use ot materials ou stain
ing ooppor, oontiuuod applications in
such largo qualities would be likely to

ootton millo. Whilo tho gamo was in
progress John Dansby, a somewhat no
torious oharaotor, ontcrod tho room. He
was drinking and in quarrt lsoinn mood
It ia said that ho had a difficulty with
Kylo in tho afternoon. In a few mo
monta Banaby managod to havo some
words with Kylo and appliod a vile
epithet to him,
According to tho atory of witnoaaoa,
Kylo got up from his ohair and remons
trated with Dane by, but without mak
ing any demonstration of violonoo.
Dansby drow hia pistol, a 4f>oalibre
Dolts, and whon a bystandor grabbod
his arm ho quiokly ohangod tho gun too
thc othor hand and fired, tho hall strik
ing Kylo in tho abdomon. Tho shooting
occurred so quickly that thoso present
hardly realized what had happened.
Banaby thon baokodout of tho room,
declaring ho would shoot any man who
attjmptod to atop him, and started to
tho homo of his father-in-law, Tom
Oroawoll, who lives nianr tho ootton
mill.
Tho nowa of tho shooting quiokly
spread, and Polioomon Johnson and
Urion started in pursuit of tho murder
er. Thoy overtook him near OroaswolPa
houao, but DanBby Btoppod thom with
hia pistol and said ho would shoot if
thoy advanood. Tho polioo thon wont
to a noarby houao and tolophonod up
town for asaiatanoo.
In a short timo Sheriff II. L. Kon
nody with sovoral oitizons roapondod
to tho summons. Thoy surrounded tho
houao, tho polioomon hoing atationod
at tho windows and Kennedy going to
tho front door. Kennedy oallod to
Dansby to como out and surrondor,
Dansby carno ont, closing tho door
bohind him, and with tho remarks
"Woll, wo'll go to boll togothor," oom
moncod firing. Dansby was shot twioo,
onoo in tho log and onoo full in tho
chest. Konnody was struck onoo in
tho loft broast noar tho haart. Both mon
empted thoir pial?la. Konnody foll aa
soon aa ho waa hit, but Dansby walkod
80100 50 steps and was reloading his
pistol whon ODO of tho polioomon ran
up and grabbed him and took tho gun
out of hie hand. Sovoral othora of tho
party woro firing at Dansby at tho timo
and thoro is somo uncertainty as to who
fired tho chots that struck him, hut it
ia thought that thoy wore firod by Kon

Handouffa woro plaood on Danaby
and he waa.oarriod to tho jail, but died
soon after roaching thoro, about an

Not quito two yoars ago Mr. Nioola

Damages For Lynching.
Among tho roinodiuH for lynching
that have boon proposed is ono that
holds tho oounty in whioh tho lynching
occurs liable for darn Ages to tho heirs
of tho person lynohod. South Carolina
and Ohio has ombodiod thia plan in a
statute,but it has proved a doad lotter.
Two suits havo boon brought under it
and in noithor was thoro a rooovory.
But in ono insianoodamagos havo boon
paid for a lynohing. Tho oaso was that
of a man who was? lynohod at VorsilloB,
Ind.. for horse stoaling. His widow en

Tho question a;! to tho jurisdiotiOn of
fodoral courts in oasos of lynohing is
not affoetod by this oaso, as it novor

Whatever may bo said of tho rolativo
morita of tho Boor and British oausos,
it must bo agrood that tho world has
seldom aeon such a stubborn struggle
against ovorwholming odds as tho Hoers
aro making. It was auppoaod that tho
oapturo ot Cronjo and his army, tho
Might of Kruger and tho oapturo of
Johannoaborg andProtoria would speed
ily ond tho war. But many months
have passed nineo thoso ovonts, and
thc Born's are not only still in arms
but ha\ aohiovod, in rapid suoooBsion,
a sorios of most remarkable victories
ovor a foo immensoly thoir superior in

otlioial report, thoro woro in South

loss than 21(1,203 mon, of whom 142,
893 aro regulars. Tho nighost ostimate
ot tho Boer force is 15,000. This great
disparity of numbers represents by no
means tho disadvantages under wtuoli

weapons aro inferior to those of tho

havo recently struck some severe blows

Making Restitution.
Tho wi lo ol a Now York dofaultor,
whOBO nu mo is much in tho public
prints, has aided in rostitution to tho
plundered bank by surrendering $150,
000 worth of diamonds and jewelry.
Muoh is boing maao of hov dovotion in
oonsonting to this stop, and perhaps
justly, becauseshe might havo imitat
ed many prominont examples by freez
ing on to all that thoro wan in sight.
While recognizing fully tho saorifioo
made by tho lady, thoro is a sido to tho
iransaotion too likely to bc overlooked,
and from which wo should oxtraot tho
roal losson of tho caso. Whon tho wifo
of a $3,000 a year bank tollor booomoB
the rooipiont of $150,000 in proBonts, is
it not about limo for hor to inquire
into tho souroo of all thia wealth?
Muoh may bo granted to tho want of
aoquaintanoo with business mothods
by whioh a woman may bo embar
rassed, but tho dullost wifo in tho
world knows that abo oan buy no grea
ter valuo in jowolry with a thousand
dollars than sho oan in potatoos and
parsnips. Tho lennon is a vory simple
ono, known to womon as wollan to mon,
that living above ono's moans must bo
at tho oxponso of somo ono oise Whon
a $2 a day man invosts $10.a day in a
carriage rido or whon a $3,000 a year
man is ablo to "hold his own" with his
$100,000 neighbor, it roquiros no apo
eial ?kill to oomo to a conclusion. Much
of human misery springs from a man s
pauporing of his own appotitos; it is
largoly aoooloratod whon ho has a wifo
whoso anxioty for first placo blinds hor
to tho cost, lt is not nooossary to truo
happiness to bo oit her in tho swim or on
tho visiting list of thoao who, for tho

TO CHECK TEXAS FKV?R.
Circu? ar Boing Sont Out by Dr. Nesoni
of Clemton Collego.
Tho following oiroular of ir,quiry re
garding Texan fovor in oattl? has just
boon issuod from tho offioo of tho voto
rinarian at tho South Carolina experi
ment station at ?iomsos "ollogo:
Dear Sir: Thia lottor is sont you in
tho hopo that you will assist tho veto*
rinarian of tho experiment station in
scouring somo information rogarding
tho oattlo disenso known au Texas
fovor.
During tho past fow y oars, thia dis
ease has boon prevalent in many soo
tiona of this Stato, but nineo tho pas
sago of tho proscut stock law it has
booooio vory common, ospooially in tho
up country and in tho pastures and
fooding pons of stook huyera.
Texas fovor is known by a numbor of
namoB in difforont parts of tho coun
try, but tho moro important of thoso
aro splenic fovor, r.oolimation fovor,
tiek fovor, rod wa tor, bloody mu .rain,
bloody urino, distompor, mountain dis
temper, oto.
Tho symptoms aro roadily recognized
by anyone who has soon oattlo suffer
ing from this disoaso At tir?t, tho
animal booomcs stupid and leaves tho
hord for somo soouidod and shady part
of tho pasturo. If thoy como up at all
at night, thoy usually lag bohind tho
herd, appoar listless and droop as
though ali onorgy had forsakon thom.
Tho oars aro dropped down, tho noso
moro or loss dry, and rumintion (chew
lug oud) suspended. Tho urine is rod
oolorod, tho dogroo of rodnoss varying
with tho. intonsity of tho disoaso. In
milk oowa tho flow of milk almost
ooasos. Constip?t iou is usually marked,
only small quantities of very dark oolor
od dung hoing voidod. Tho tomporaturo
runs from 103 to 107 B\ Somo idea of
tho fovorod condition may bo gotton by
inserting a finger in tho oornor of tho
animal's mouth. All of tho symptoms
inoroaso in intonsity until tho animal
booomoa almost or quito unconscious,
walks round in a oirelo, groans ano
soom to suitor groat pain. Thon con
vulsions sot in,tho animal falls,struggles
violently, and in tho intervals botweon
convulsions, Hos on tho side snoring
until doath follows. Calves do not
developed tho sovoro symptoms and
few of thom dio from tho disoaso, but
in cattle over three years old, tho
doath rate is probably 80 por oont. to
90 per oont. Tho disoaso may appoar
at any timo during tho summer but
moro of ton from July to Ootobor.
Post mortem examination of tho oar
eas shows tho flesh to bo almost blood
loss and palo in color, tho spleen (molt)
blaok and easily torn, tho bladdor filled
with bloody urino tho livor and intes
tinos yellowish, and tho gall bladdor
filled with bilo
In all casos, an examination of tho
skin about tho thighs, flanks, neck and
othor portions of tho body rovoals tho
prosonoo of tioka, which al ways go with
Texas fever. Tho causo of tho disoaso
is a very small animal organism (pro
tozoan) whioh seoras at all times to
exist in tho body of tho common oattlo
t?o tiok (boop)ulus bovis ) Whon the
tiok inserts his bill through tho hido of
tho oow, thoso little 4,gorina" gain ac
ooss to tho blood of tho animal and
thoro dovolop, produoing a oaso of
Texas fovor in ton or twonty days, in j
most casos. Doath remits from tho
destruction of tho red blood coila, tho
bodios of whioh go to tho sploon and
tho ooloring matter to tho bladdor.
Cattlo that havo had tioka on them
whon oalvos aro immuno to tho disoaso
and will not havo it again. Cat de that
havo not had ticks on thom until a yoar
old will dovolop tho fovor as soon as
they got them.
Tho oxporimont station officials de
sire to assist tho stookmon of tho-" 8tato
in getting this dibOaao under oontrol
and preventing nevero louses from it in
ibo futuro. To this ond wo are Bond
