The United States department of agriculture an nounces that the two states where these diseases appeared, Indiana and ITUnols, have taken steps that will pre vent the spread of the diseases from the infected fields and thut should wipe out In a few years tlW infection In fields where It exists. ^ Indiana officials came to .theT recent ttenrtng In Washington with adequate safeguards already placed. Shortly after the hearing, Illinois established simitar safeguards. All-Jhe ■<<wheat Ip. both states Is under control nmt will be disinfected before any use whatever Is made of it. All straw aiid machines are to he thoroughly disin fected and no wheat Is to he grown In fnfected areas for several years. v ' . — But Fight Is Not Over. Under these conditions full confi dence Is felt that neither of the dis eases will spread from the diseased areas in Illinois and Indiana.' That does not mean, however, that the fight against flag smut and take-all Is over. It Is possible that one qr both of the diseases exist this year In places where they have not been recognized. There (a. however, no'great probability that this Is true. The department of agri culture and Its eo-operatlng agencies, have been diligently on the lookout for £fn*ic two diseases all-summer and have found no evidences of them ex cept In the two nreps. goth llltiT :,niUt | and take-nTT occur tn Itttnnts and only take nil in Indiana.

In the meantime there will be no letup tn the work of preventing either of the diseases from gettlug a real foothold anywhere La the United States.' The federal department is working with fhe authorities of Illinois and Indiana, giving them every possible aid. Its pathologists are energetically studying the disease and Its representatives are murehlfig the country over to make anglers as “fishln* worms"—hut his fa ther, with a particular pride in a well- kept lawn, may regard-them as ene mies.
