PACKS TWO TWO SERIOUS DISEASES DISCOVERED ON WHEAT! I Exists Now Only in Illinois so. Far as Known But Look I ,j> Elsewhere ALL SHOULD ASSIST IN HUNTING DISEASES Nationwide Survey is Nov/ Bein& Made to Find If Any where Else 'Two serious diseases of wheat hitherto unknown in this country recently have been discovered in Madison County, 111., according to a: statement by the United Slates Do-; partment of Agriculture. The first is a disease apparently identical with the "take-all" or "white-heads" known in many foreign countries. Take-all has caused serious losses in the wheat fields of Australia and has been reported as a post of wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, and certain wild grasses in Europe. The second j disease is flag smut of wheat (Urocystis tritici), which also is a serious disease of wheat in Australia, and is known in India and Japan. Neither pest, however, has ever been reported to cause losses comparable to those resulting from the groat epidemics of black stem rust in this country. ( Damage Not to Be Great .Although those diseases may cause heavy losses to individual farmers, the total area likely to be affected before eradication or control measures arc established probably will 1 not be large, the department says. The losses in the total area affected this year will have no appreciable effect upon the total production of this year's wheat crop. The presence of these diseases were discovered through a report from the county agent of Madison County, 111., stating that wheat was being seriously injured by some dis ease. An investigation was macie i promptly by representatives of the Illinois Agricultural Experiment station and the United States Department of Agriculture. The damage i in the fields attacked was found to vary from a fraction of 1 per cent to as much as DO per cent. In some fields the damage was so great that the farmers were plowing up the wheat and preparing to plant corn. Specimens of the diseased wheat plants luive been examined and found affected with the disease, showing a'l the symptoms of take-all in its errly stages, as described in Aus' 1 I WILL UK IN MY ()KKI( K IN CONWAY MONDAY, JULY 7TH.

On the second visit io Madison County the department representative found the flag smut of wheat in the same fields injured by take-all. F.nding these two Australian disea. es in the same fields strongly indicates that they have been introduced on wheat shipped into this country from Australia. These diseases are carried on seed grain. A thorough investigation is being made by the Office of Cereal Investigations of the department to determine the source of all seed wheat used on the infested forms. A Nation-wide survey is now in progress to find if either or both of these two diseases have been introduced anywhere eise in the United States. Conditions Favor Disease Their serious effects under Australian conditions nro now well known. There is every reason to beliove that they will find conditions in this country favorable to their spread. All growers of wheat and sn ail grains should be interested in helping their State experiment stations and the United States Dcpartmc nt of Agriculture to find these diseases if they have been introduced and to keep them from spreading. There should be little difficulty in recognizing flag smut, as it differs radically from the other grain smuts. Unlike the others, it attacks the upp?T leaves, particularly the top one, which is commonly called the flag leaf. The name of the 'disease comes from this characteristic. The flag leaf always shows long smutspore stripes and frequently is contorted or twisted into a spiral. Occasionally flag smut attacks the stems, as well as the upper leaves. In this respect it resembles the stem smut of rye, but differs from it in I that all of the culms instead of one ouf of several are attacked. Affect- j od plants do not produce heads. 1 11 Distinguishing Take-All ^ The layman may have some diffi- ^ culty in distinguishing the take-all i r ? i 4 ? 11 win an> ^onamon P that causes the plants to turn yellow in patches over the field. Take-all appears in round or irregular patches within which all of the plants are destroyed. That habit gave rise to the name of take-all. In the infected patches the plants are first yellow, later becoming brown and dead. Diseased plants are but weakly root od to the ground and the roots and foot of the stems become rotten. Fiom this comes another name, foot- s ret, by which the disease is some times known. Affected plants may suivive the early or seedling attack F and produce heads, but they never t fill out and are a dead white in color. (' This gives rise to a third name of ^ the disease, white-head. The Department of Agriculture: has been for some time apprehensive | e that these two diseases would bo b introduced into the United States.

Despite the efforts of the authorities the country is harboring Bolshevik agents smuggled in by Russia, ! Hungary and Bulgaria. As sixty per I cent of Rumania is illiterate the Bolshevik danger is apparent. The greatest need is food. Food for the army and food for the civilian population. America has sent a dozen food ships to Rumania and the American Red Cross is distributing ( food at canteens and by means of rolling soup kitchens wherever the need is greatest. In the Dobrudja where the smallpox epidemic is at i its worst, the American Red Cross has many doctors and nurses. j America has loaned Roumania $5,000,000, hut the financial situation of the country remains critical, writes | tie Red Cross man. This he attributes to Rumania's inability to ex- < port and to the broadest issue during the German occupation of worthless banknotes. In addition to food the Rumanian army and civilian population desperately need clothing. Cloth for a j suit of clothes costs $f>0 a yard. A 'yard of linen for shirts costs eight (dollars and a shirt of ordinary qual- i ity $40. A pound of butter costs $5.50. "How can America help Rumania?" a Rumanian army officer asked. "Continue your splendid shipments of food through the American A? my Food Mission and the- American Red Cross," replied the officer. "Send us propaganda written by Americans to be dropped by airplanes in the Bolshevik ranks. We must fight ideas with ideas. Our railroad and transport system is a wreck. Send us some of the American railroad men who did such wonderful work in France." j Rub-My-Tism is a great pain killer.
