Work on 'the control of wilt, roof-knot and anthracnose of cotton, forage crops, and truck crops in the South has been considerably increased during the last year, according to the annual report-of the' Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. - In cooperation with the States Relations Service, last season, 1,545 acres of wilt-resistant cotton were planted by cooperative breeders and growers in 'South' Carolina and 5,530 bushels of selected seed pro duced for sale to farmers. In Ala bama, where the work was begun only last year, 170 bushels of select ed seed were produced. . The advantages to be gained through community action in cotton growing were first, stated in 1911, and since that time they have been em phasized in a number of publications on the improvement 'of the cotton in dustry by more efficient application of the results of scientific investiga tions. Meanwhile convincing demon strations of these' advantages have been afforded by. the success of com munity action in thn production of Egyptian cotton in Arizona and Du-rango- cotto nin the Imperial Valley of California. The success of these organizations is attracting attention to the desirability of forming similar associations of cotton growers in other parts of the cotton belt and special cooperation is being extend ed to such communities. The result of experiments made in the Southeastern States indicate that Texas big-boll varieties of cotton are superior in several respects to the small boll varieties regularly grown in this part of the cotton belt. The western cottons not only do bet ter there in a normal season but they appear to be less susceptible to injury from extreme conditions, both of drought and wet weather. The latter advantage is due to the fact that rain often fails to perfetrate the more abundant fiber that clothes the seeds of the big boll varieties. Lone Star, a Texas big boll variety, originated by this bureau, has done specially well in South . Carolina, showing the wide range! of adapt ability of this variety and indicating the possibility of substituting varie ties o f this type for the more common and less valuable ones of the South eastern States. The Durango variety of cotton, which has been shown to be adapted to wide variations in natural condi tions, has been further extended in different parts of the cotton belt. Ap proximately 30,000 acres of Durango cotton are being grown in 1916 in the Imperial Valley $f California, where this variety has proven to be more drought-resistant and better adapted to irrigation culture than other long-staple upland varieties. At the other extreme of the cotton belt, in the vicinity of Deep Creek and Holland, Va., about 1,600 acres of Durango are being grown.

A 1 , variety is also meeting with favor in other communities in South Carolina, Alabama, Northern Oklahoma and also in the dry climate of Western Texas. . The Acala variety of cotton, re cently acclimated from Mexico by this bureau, shows some points of superiority over the more common varieties in northern Texas and' in Oklahoma, and promises to be -rapidly extended into general cultivation in those regions. It is distinctly earlier than Rowden, Lone; Star and Triumph, now the most popular varie ties, and its lint is longer and of higher quality, being unusually strong. Its earliness makes Acala specially attractive on the bottom lands where cotton tends to grow rank and be late in reaching matur ity, and on the northern high lands where the frost shortens the growing season. The growing of better varieties received further encouragement through the distribution by the de partment, as part of its work of in troducing new and rare field seeds, of 120,943' packages of cotton seed, including Columbia, Dixie, Durango, Holdon, Lone Star and Trice varie ties. The object of the distribution was to enable the farmer to procure seed of the new varieties in suffi cient quantities to produce stock for future seed and thur, gradually aid him in the improvement of the crop in his locality. The new system called the single stalk culture has contributed to the establishment of the Egyptian cotton industry in the Salt River Valley of Arizona. As applied to the Egyptian cotton, the new system not only in duces earlier fruiting and tends to insure larger crops, but greatly facili tates the picking of the cotton at the end of the season. Thus the cost of production is lessened while the yields are increased. The single-stalk system of controll ing the branching habits of the cotton plants has made possible a special method - of culture for irrigated dis tricts. The rows are planted in pairs, one on each side of a large furrow. Irrigation is confined to the furrows, and these are separated by broader ridges that remain as a -per-mament mulch of dry soil. The wa ter is applied more effectively, ger mination and growth of the young plants are more uniform, and less la bor is required for cultivation and control of weeds. The plants soon shade the furrow, but the broader space above .the ridges is kept open through the season, with the vegeta tive branches suppressed by the single-stalk system If the plants grow very large tlrey lean away from the furrow, over the dry ground. This makes it possible for Irrigation to be continued later in the season without interrupting the harvest or damaging the ripe bolls, so that larg er crops of good fiber can be matured.
