MOVIES FOR COLORED PEOPLE
John Young is Operating a Clean
Orderly House
Some days ago an evil tongue
started a report to the effect that
John Young, proprietor of the Cas
sino,, was charging the colored peo
ple 25 ceaits admission to see the
ery same pictures that are exhibited
at the Orpheum Theatre. Upon in
vestigation we find that such is not
the case. The prices at the Cassino
range lower than at the Orpheum.
We made a visit to the Cassino and
find that John Young is running a
!clean, moral show. The behavior is
as good at the Cassino as found eilse
"where, and the town of Oxford is to
1e congratulated on having one of
John Young's stamp to manage a pic
ture show for colored people. He
gives them good pictures at a moder
ate price and he requires them to
walk the chalk line or they cannot
uter his place.
Bacterial Wilt
Leaves wilt one by one. Stems
have black streaks in wood or rind.
airty milky liquid can be squeezed
from these streaks. A few of the
roots may be rotted, .the rest are nor-
mal. There are no swellings on the
roots.
This disease is caused by bacteria
that enter the roots and multiply in
affected plants, are released by mil
lions in the soil on their decay, per
sist in the soil for three or more
years, and cause increasing loss year
by year unless controlled. Plants
liable to infection are tobacco, Irish
potato, peanut, tomato, pepper, egg
plant, ragweed, horse nettle, jimson
weed and certain other weeds.
Control. 1. Recognize the dis
ease promptly and at once adopt a
rotation to keep succeptible plants off
the land for three to five years. Wheat
oats, rye, grasses, cowpeas, clovers,
alfalfa, soy beans, corn, cotton, sweet
potatoes, may be used. Keep the
land too busy for weeds to grow.
2. Preveait transfer of infected soil
by surface water, on farm imple
ments, or on the feet of men or
stock.
3. Grow plants in a well burned
plant bed on new ground, and do not
let any water from contaminated
sources reach it.
Root-Knot or Nematode Galls
Leaves become yellow aid dry at
the same time over whole plant
There are no blackened streaks in
stems and no milky liquid. The
roots show numerous irregular swell
ings, and the worst affected may be
dead and rotten.
This disease is caused by micro
scopic worms that enter the roots
and cause the swellings. Five hun
dred eggs may be laid by one female,
and there are several generations a
season. The worms persist in the
soil about two years. A large num
ber of kinds of plants are liable to in
fection, including many of the most
useful crop plants and many common
weeds.
Control. 1. Adopt a rotation to
keep the land for two years in crops
not liable to infection. The follow
ing crops are safe: Wheat, oats, rye,
grasses, cowpeas of the Iron and
Brabham varieties only, corn, and
peanuts.
2. Avoid any transfer of infected
soil.
3. Be sure that plants used for
setting are absolutely free from the
disease.
Prompt recognition of these trou
bles, a clear understanding of their
nature, and careful, persistent carry
ing out of the suggested measures are
necessary for successful control.
