For the benefit of the several larm-
ers who have asked me to do so, I.
will tr' to tell you something about
the life, history and control of cotton
anthracnose.
I am sure that the majority of our
farmers realize the seriousness of this
pest Thifsonevdisease is almost whol
ly responsible for our short crop this
yeai I have-viite4 farms this year
where the yield was reduced at least
50 per. cent from anthracnose infec-.
tion. - i
Anthracnose, js a fungus disease and
once cotton becomes infested with
spores, there 3 no treatment thatwill
kill the spores without destroying the
vitality of the seed, and the absolute
preventative is to plant seed ree from
this disease on land where dissased
cotton did not grow the previous year.
It has been proven that, the anthrac
nose fungus may live on diseased bolls
in the soil for 12 months, but under
no case has it been known to live lon
ger under field conditions.
Where rotation cannot be practiced
the only partial remedy the depart?
ment of agriculture offers is to break
the old cotton stubble deep as early
has possible. " '
Anthracnose or pink boll .rot is a
fungu.5 which causes the bolls to rot
and"is more or less prevalent (and
more prevalent in Robeson county) in
all parts of the cotton belt, and no
variety of cotton is entirely free from
tlii-, disease. This disease first ap
piws.in the 'bolls as very small dark
snots, vv.;i( v. ci.Jarge and become some

wintct' in infested seed and in old cot
ton boll; iind stalks.
. Ar.thi acnosc net only attacks tbo
cotton bolls but it attacks the young
plants and stems. I have seen voung
scedfinu's killed by anthracnose before
they appeared above fheg round and in
cold .weather not favorable to the
growth of cotton, it will-cause dani.r,
ii:g off near the soil of plants 2 to
I inches high.
-I hive nlowad up and planted cot
ton over again where it had died from
attacks of anthracnose, and I thought
it was natural for young cotton seed
lings to die. when the spring happened
to be very cold and wet, but I found
out later that I was entirely , mistaken
and that it was-anthracnose fungus
that" had killed my cotton instead of
the cool nights. A healthy young cot
ton seedling will stand a1 good bit of
of cool weather without apparent in
jury to the plant. I want to say from
my own experience that where badly
infested seed from anthracnose are
planted that in every case the stand
will be broken very badly, and if the
weather is unfavorable when it is try
ing to come up, in every case it will be
to plant over again. ,
Anthracnose is spread in several
ways, which are as follows: by means
of the fungus in the form of thread
like mycelium and spores in and on
the seed and on diseased bolls or
stems left in the field in the fall. Dur
ing the growing period of the cotton
plant the spores are spread more by
the raindrops than from any other
source. Insects are also instrumen
tal in carrying the spores from plant to
plant as the sticky masses readily ad- f
here to their feet arid mouth parts.
, Anthracnose is worse in wet than
in dry seasons, and the disease will
be less prevalent by giving the
cotton plenty of space to let in sun
light and air. As a general rule
we do not give our cotton space
enough to make the largest yields
any- way regardless of the pest.
Our cottofi farmers t cannot afford
to , ignore, the importance of stamp
ing out' this disease before it spreads
any more.
Anthracnose was first shipped into
Robeson county and many of our na
tive varieties have become infected
from those diseased seed shipped
into thecounty. It is not safe to or
der cotton seed any more, even if they
could be had without paying a prem
ium for them. '
We have several good farmers in
the county who have several good
varieties of . seed already acclimated
and it is almost entirely free from the
dreadful pest Anthracnose,, and
the benefit of seveVal farmers-- 'o
have asked me to do so, I have taken
note of those farms free from anthrac
nose, but I have not been able to find
enough "seed f ree"Tfom anfhf iicnose t
to anything like plant our crop for an
other year.
It is . very important to plant, a
good variety of cotton already accli
mated. Most of those so-called big
yielding varieties advertised so gen
erally are fakes even if they could be
had free from anthracnose It is an
undisputed fact that cotton seed ship
ped from any distance will not produce
