Estimated percentage reduction in yield from wilt of cotton, 1919* Very little wilt was experienced in North Carolina when wilt resistant varieties, such as Dixie, were used. In South Carolina, Dixie, Dixie Triumph and Dixie Coolc - wilt resistant varieties - gave good results. In Louisiana, in Beauregard Parish, several fields which had been planted to commercial varieties showed about 25% infection, v/hile three wilt resistant varieties (names not given in report) planted on a field which had previously shown 65^ showed only ^0 in- fection. In Madison, Ouachita and Caddo Parishes the varieties Minden, Selection A, and Hybrid I43 ~ all wilt resistant cottons - showed from none to yja infection in ' checks with other cotton. In Arkansas the Dixie and Express were successfully ! planted in wilt infested fields. Angular leaf spot and boll rot caused by Bacterium malvacearum This disease was quite general and common in all the cotton growing states except Virginia where it was local. It was reported to the Plant Disease Survey from Arizona for the first time. % Angular leaf spot was more severe in Alabama in 1919 than during the previ- ous seasons, This was probably due to the excessive rains which prevailed through- out July and August.
