ALFRED LIE CHAT, REPRESENTING THE
BUSY LITTLE KINGDOM IN WASHING
TON.
Belgium is small but thickly populated
and enterprising. Her activities in Africa
do the little kingdom honor, and the
building of the Congo railway will be in
no mean proportion the work of Belgium.
One of the ablest of her statesmen repre-
sents her in Washington. Alfred LIE
CHAT was born in Brussels in the year
1912. He was educated in that bright
capital. In 1865 he entered the diplo-
matte corps Of Belgium, and learned de-
tails in the department of foreign affairs
during the next five years. He was sent
to Florence as secretary of the legation
inS1S70, and went to Rome in that
pacity when the Eternal City was made
the capital of the Italian kingdom. M.

.STINKING SMUT In WHEAT.
A Disease Rare in America Devastating the
Crop in Portions of Indiana.

A Disease Rare in America Devastating the
Crop in Portions of Indiana.
:. INDIANAPOLIS, md, July l3.-H. f.
Phi. D., director of the gov
efhfnent agricultural experiment station
for.Indiana, located at Purdue univer-
sity, near Lafayette, has been investi-
eating a new wheat disease that has ap-
peared in certain sections of the state,
particularly in La Grange county. and
which is seriously affecting the wheat
crop over considerable areas.
The damage likely to be wrought
by it and the rareness with which
it occurs in this country seem
to render a brief description of
the infection of importance to the agri-
cultural community. The disease is a
fungoid growth known as "buDt, - or
''stinking smut, " on account of its
strong and disagreeable odor. 1t is
rarely found in America but it is not I'M
common in England.
The wheat head on ripening may pos
sess a very nearly normal appearance,
but on Smelling the grains are found to be
filed with a black, greasy powder, the
result of the growth of the fungus,
beginning with the very termination of
the seed and keeping pace with the
growth of the plant. It's action is no
more harmful than that of common
smut, but its odor renders it more OBJ
jectionable, Where not very abundant
it may be separated from the good grain
either by tanning or by washing.
