Burning infected material is necessary;moreover, rotation of crops is important. 1 The setae in this case are not commonly a conspicuous part of the acervulus,and in a cursory examination of the fungus they may be sometimes fact, this fungus was at first placed in the genus Gloeosporium. It is possiblethat climatic conditons or the texture of the host may be important in determin-ing the relative number of Fig. 156. COLLETOTRICHUM LiNDEMUTHIANUM FUNGI IMPERFECTl 325 XXVII.

Anthracnose of cotton exists as a malady ofsome importance upon rich land in some of the cotton-growing,particularly theGulf, states. Itwould seem thatthe fungus is widelydistributed, butserious injury isdoubtless depend-ent upon local con-ditions.
