RICE DISEASE ERADICATION MAKES PROGRESS TIlIS YEAR Much progress in eradicating straighthead in rice, which has clone . much damage in the plantations of Louisiana, has been made this year by the United Staets Department of Ag riculture. Straighthead is a disease which pwevents the rice heads from filling with grain, and gets its name from the fact that the heads thus af fected stand up straight in the field instead of drooping like those filled with rice kernels. Losses vary from a fraction of 1 per cent in some plan tations to 50 per cent in the worst affected fields. As the annual rice crop e of the United States amounted to more than 200,000,000 bushels in 1918, the margin of loss to the coun try is appreciable. The cause of the = disease has not yet been determined, but a method of control has been E found by modifying the system of flooding commonly practiced. A new fungus disease of rice hs is been discovered which is more wide- E spread in its occurrence than a hur ried observation would indicate. The plants attacked by this disease break over at the water line and are a total loss to the grower. The United States Department of Agriculture has arranged for an in terchange of cereal seed with Korea through the Japanese Government. European corn borer has been dis covered in Canada, the United States - Department of Agriculture finds, and E warns against this new source of in- R feetion. American farmers planted 11,000 acres to hemp ir 1920, according to the United States Department of Ag riculture. The crop is valued at about $1,500,000.
