Raleigh, Dec. 14.—At twelve'

are now being treated, will bring
about never cent* per pound next.
hpi-inii.
*»A few year* ago," aays F. C.
Blair, extension agronomist at
State College, “the federal depart
ment of agriculture left pdx bales
of cotton exposed to the weather in
Raleigh from November until June
of the next year. After tbo dam-]
aged cotton had been removed
every bain showed a net loeo in
weight One bale, placed on poles
with the edge up and turned each
week loot 29 pounds. One hale,
placed on poles and covered with
canvas and left In one position all
win tor loot 11 pounds. The bale
placed on end on the bare ground
lost 92 pounds. The one placed on
•dge on the bare ground loot SS
pounds In weight, while another
placed on «dge and turned over1
once each week lost M pounds.
The loot bale which wsa left ly
ing flat on lha ground without be
ing turned over loot 209 pounds
or nearly one half of Its original
weight" -
Some Tamer* who leave their
rotten on tbc ground uncovered,
fondly hope that the bale* will
gain steadily in weight due to the
soaking in of rain water, itatc*
Mr. Blair. These Usds show, how
ever, that the bales to ClMMd lose
their weight When the darrtlfM
cotton is removed, the Anal price
received la rnueh below whatever
the fall price would have been.
The grower who has no house
for his cotton and who will not or
cannot store it in a warehouse or
deliver it to the Co-operative Cot
ton Association, had better sell it
for whatever price he can get,
states Mr. Blair. * I

The disease |i characterised by a
death of the blossoms .young twig*

twigs of affected tree* the appear
ance of having been scorched by
firs. No method of control by
spraying has yet been found due
to the manner in which the dis

the bark.”
Twigs affected with fire blight
can be distinguished in winter bv
