Columbia, J?n. 23.?' ! bespeak of
your earnest and careful considera
tion," said Governor Manning in a
message to the general assembly to
day transmitting a memorial from the
board of trustees of Ciemson college.
The memorial was aent to the gov
ernor by Alan Johns tone, chairman if
the board of trustees. The paper con
tains a complete report on the finan
cial affairs or the institution. It is
pointed out that the conditions have
arisen since the preparation of the
annual report for ihe college.
"The board of trustees did not feel
that they would have fully met their
duty to the people and to the general
assembly and to the college- and its
Interests without setting out the pos
sible contingencies that may arise on
account of the conditions growing out
of the European war and its common
disasters and, therefore, they are ask
ing, thrbugh my hand .that you as
governor submit this information to
the general assembly." says Mr. John
stone in his letter to the governor.
"We desire -to make clear at this
point that we shall not ask for an
appropriation.'" says the report by the
trustees, after reviewing the financial
affairs of the college.
The following requests are muJe:
That, In order to continue certain
phases of the public work for 1915
1916, the state be authorized to bor
row and loan to the college $G2.400,
if so much be necessary; the loan
would stand as a debt against any
excess of the fertilizer tax over the
amount required for the college prop
er during future years.
That, to continue the work planned
for the fiscal year, a loan of $25,000
be made, the fertilizer tax to stand
as security.
The trustees state that unless the
above loans are made the public
work must be curtailed curing the re
mainder of this fiscal year and next
year.
"It is scarcely necessary to add that
every possible economy consistent
with efficient operation in being prac
ticed,'' says the report.
BRYAN'S PEACE SOUVENIR
Plowshare Made of Swordo and
Nickel-Hated.
Washington, Jan. 25.?Secretary of
State Bryan has presented to Mr.
James M. Baker, the secretary of the
senate, one of his historic peace
souvenirs, which, is a plowshare
made of steel, and nickel-plated.
The steel used is composed of melt
ed s word s, and- explains the. inscrlp
tlon on the plowshare: "They shall1
beat 'their swords into -plowshares."
The sentiments inscribed.on the
beam of the plow are contributions i
which the secretary of state has
made ' to diplomatic phraseology,
namely: "Nothing, is . final, between
friends," and "diplomacy is the art of
keeping cool." '
. Secretary 5-yan used. these quota-!
lions on the menu cards for the;
"Peace Luncheon" he gave after the
signing of the treaties with Great
Britain. -France, Spain, .and China,
rho-plowshare is to be used as a .pa
per-weight, and bears the inscription:
"From William Jennings Bryan, to
James M. Baker, August 13, 1914."
(vhich is the date that Secretary. Bak
er certified to the ratification of'the
peace treaties by the . senate. The
MHivenier. paper-weight: adorns . .the

Washington, Jan. 22. ? Cotton root
knot, according to Farmers' Bulletin
025. not only caugpg great damage in
itself, hut when it is combined -with
Cftton'^ilt, a3 ?a-?fi-qu???y the case,
it greatly increases the loss from
wilt.
Plants diseased with cotton root
knot are distinctly stunted, hut not
appreciably deformed, as in wilt,
and have a peculiar sickly yellowish
grei n color on both leaves and stems.
In times of drought, affected plants
are the first to show the lack of .Mi
ter and may wilt slightly in the mid
dle of the day. If such a plant is
dug up carefully, the roots will bo
found to bo covered with swellings
or galls from the size of a pinhead to
1-2 inch or more In diameter. If one '
of these .knots is broken open, nu-1
merous pearly white, rounded bxl-|
ies about one-half the size of a pin
head?the female m -atodes?can oi I
ten be seen with the iked eye.
Root-knot of cotton and other
crops is caused, by these minute eel
worms, or nematode s. which bore In- \
to the roots and live there. The frrl- j
'.ation of their presence causes the for
mation of swellings or galls. Tin* ]
male worms are too small to he seen
with the naked eye. but the females i
when full of eggs assume a spbc'i-j
leal shape and may often be distin- j
[ guished in freshly broken roots as
described above. Each female lays1
several hundred eggs, and thus the |
worms are propagated.
Root-knot may be carried from one
field to another by any agency whtrdi
will transfer some of the ne m ut o. leu
or their eggs, just ob wilt is dissemi
nated by means of the fungus that
causes the wilt .disease. Drainage
water is perhaps-one of the most im
portant means of spreading root-Knot.
.Nursery stock uIbo is n common
agency for ihe introduction- of the
nematode into new territory. Seedling
pecans, - peaches, figs, mulberries, or
pomegranates, and young asparagus,
cabbage, eggplant, strawberry, '
bacco, and tomato plants from in
fested sections may carry the- worms ,
in their roots or in the soil adhering
to them. In the west, where the
nematode occurs quite commonly in
certain sections on the potato. the
worms are carried in the tubers.
Attacka Many .Other. Farm Crops,
i- Unlike wilt, root-knot attacks a
very large-number of plants, many of
which are-important farm crop*.
Those subject to root-knot injury may
be divided into two groupa, according
to their degree of susceptibility. The
crops most severely attacked by
root-knot are as .follows: Soybean,
beet,-cantaloupe, carrot, celery, . bur
clover, crimson .clover, .all', varieties
of.cowpeas (except iron and Brab
ham and other Iron Hybrids), eucunt,
her. CKKnlant..fig. letttfee. okra. peach,
pecan, - pomegranate,.. potato, saisity,
squash, tobacco, tomato, and water
melon.
' Plants less severely Injured by
root-knot are the, following:
. Alfalfa,, asparagus, Lima bean, snap
bean, cabbage, sweet clover, colla rd.
cotton, mulberry, onion,, garden pea.
safest potato, radish, spinach, straw
berry .- sugar cane, common vetch;
hairy vetch.
A few common weeds are.subject
'to nematode injury and should th?i-i?;]
tore be eradicated Where the at
tempt is being made to reduce root
, knot in fields. The most severely in
jured are the balloon ivine, the ?nay
'pop or passion flower, and the papaya
or melon 'pawpaw. Weeds less sc vor?*
ly affected by root-knot are < may
weed, purslane, and sweet fennel.
Such varieties of cowpeas as the
r Whlppporwill,. Clay, Black,. Unknpwi,.
Red Ripper, New Era..and others arc
so susceptible to root-knot that not
pnly- are. they seriously, injured,! but
the growing of them on nematode
Infected fields greatly increases the
number-of .worms in tho soli, and con
sequently the damage -to .-subs?quent
cotton or other susceptible Crops. It
Is a common complaint of farmers in
j wilt sections that the wilt is-hotte?
ably more severe, after a . crop:.of
cowpeaa of a variety which is sus
ceptible to root-knot. .<-This is due to
the fact, that the nematodes make
points of entrance for the wilt fun
gus, which then kills or further - injures
the.plants. Thore are a ";fewvarlt.'
ties of cowpeas.which are highly ie
sistant to nematodes? including the
Iron and the Brabham .and other Iron
hybrids. . These should be the only
cowpeas-planted, on land infested *"idi
root-knot.
Control Measures for Root-Knot.
The rotation and diversification ?>r
crops aro of fundamental Inmnrtam.e
to southern riziculture eveiy.heic
and become . absolutely necessary
Where the root-knot- nematodes t l?
present. The principles on which such
rotations are based ,are (1) .the .no*r
Of Crops Immune to nematc.'.e' a>
taoks until the ncmatodesfare awri
ciently reduced bo that susceptible
cropa may be profitably grown ; and
(2) the eradication of all weeds dis
ject to root-knot. The use of crops
that .will return a profit gnd the build
ing up of th? fertility of the soil are
also important considerations, . and
every farmed must work out for him
self the particular rotations suited to
his farm.
If land-is very badly infested with
nematodes as well as wilt/ a two er
throe years rotation with imrauno
crops is. recommended' before, sus
ceptible -crops;-1 including' cotton, me.
grown. The. susceptible crops shomd
iiot: he grown" Torvrabre. than one or
two years thereafter before the rota
tion with,immunecrops should be re
peated. When the disease Is less se
vere, a one or fwo-year rotation wIU i
do much to put the land in condi
tion. ,
The. following, is a list of crops
which are largely or entirely inj
mune to root-knot.
Barley," velvet bean, Florida bfeggar>
w??di chuifas"; ' corn,*; Brdhh?m cowpea,
Iron cowpea, Iron hybrid?* co^pea,
M^dq*X'gra*?/ crab-grass, - graisca

'it. -.: ' - rv'; l:y~%Uy$?&x$&.
TO HOW TO COMBAT
winter aits, peanut, rye. soignant,
wheat, inilo.
The siiHccptinh crops previously
listed should never follow erne: anotl.
er in a rotation as the root-knot dam
ago increases each year. If the llrst
crop should escape serious injury,
(he nematodes will increase . in the j
soil to such an extent that tbe sec
ond crop will be almost sure to show
a decided loss, and hence immune J
crops should always be alternated
with susceptible ones.
With regard to winter le?umes such
as crimson clover. bur clover. Japan
clover, and the vetches, sufficient ob
servations have not yet been made
to warrant, any general statement.
These plants are listed as moderate
ly -to severely attacked by root-knot,
but the nematodes are not very active!
during the period between October r*> I
and April 15, when these crops are
usually grown. They may. therefore
esrape serious injury.
Best Rotations to Ugc.
"'bile n?', recommendations can r>?
given ''.at will apply to nil situations
and soil types, a typical rotation that
can be modified to fit any condition
is suggested. For land infested with
both wilt and root-knot the fallowing
treatment has been successfully used
by many farmers: .. Beginning in 'he
fall, sow winter oats if they can be
gotten in early enough to make a fair
ly good growth before It Is necessary
to . plow the land for the next crop.
Plow the oats under for green man-1
ure and plant corn with Iron or Brab
ham cowpeas between the rows,
putting in the corn.at the,usual time,
aboul..March .1.1 .to -20.tor middle floue
gin and South Carolina.. In . the fall
sow..a .winter grain; tins can .be cut
for hay, or allowed to ripeu. i Cow
peas, either the Iron or. Brabham va
riety, may,then-bo broadcasted or, Det
ter, planted..in l^. font drills, wheio-j
they can be cultivated, once or .twice,
The cowpeas may be saved 'or seed or
cut for hay and followed uy another j
crop of .winter grain. This .should
be plowed under in the sprang in time
to plant a wil t .resistant varied y. of
cotton the .third year. Wheat,' rye,
or barley.niay.be substituted for.oats
as a winter-grain crop, aud velvet
beans for the Iron or Brabham cow
peas in the more southern districts.
Any of the other .immune,j crops in
cluded in tbe list may be used In the
rotation.
Considerable reduction in.the nema
tode injury will -follow the us? of- n
1-year,, .rotation.-composed of two
winter-grain crops.-with a crop oi
velvet beans or resistant cowpeas
grown, the ,Intorv?nh?g ..aummer. in
one case in Georgia, the growing of \
a single crop-of Iron cowpeas, on wilt j
and nematode Infested Jaud, .wlp?j?
75 per cent of the previous cotton
crop was Wiled..resulted in a , ri'duc- ;
tlon of the Iokk in the cotton crt.p
the succeeding-years to loss than iO
per cent, as against a loss of t)C
per cent on. ad joining. land -planted
the previous year in .cotton instead of
Iron' cowpeas.- When the iujur, is
as severe as thiB, however, "it is usual
ly more profitable to practice a. 2
year or 3-year rotation.
