Problems of Epidemics.

The serious epidemics- which have
affected the sugar beet, like the leaf
spot disease of the east and the curly
top OF the west, have been investl-
gated. Experiments on a large scale
in different sections OF the eastern
beet area have shown that the leaf
spot may be readily controlled by the
application of Bordeaux mixture.
This remedy has now come into gem
eral use.
In my last report attention was
called to the efforts being made in
the matter of developing sugar beet
seeds with single germs. The single
germ seed would do much to diminish
the labor of thinning. The bureau
work in this field has been very sat

be placed in the field. Five corps arc
already destined for the front, and the
talk is that five more corps will be
sent forward. Eventually the creation
of this second army involves the Sc

that Viceroy AleXieff, the present NOM

the actual functions of commander Of
the 100000 or 100000 men that Russia
has resolved to put in the field. It is
the best opinion that Grand Duke
Nicholas Micha elovitch, inspector gen
eral of cavalry, will attain the high
command, occupying in the war with
Japan the position held by his father
in the war with Turkey.
The reorganization will swell the
Russian forces in Manchuria to over

made to overcome the deficiency IN

Mr.. Bryan, all the Democrats in the

expect detailed and explicit publicity

convention deemed it Of more inn

- The division and reorganization of

there have been rumors ever since the
battle of LiaOyang, has been officially
announced i'll an imperial rescript APP
pointing General Grippenberg, COM
mander of the Third army corps in
the province of Wilma, commander of
the Second army now being modified
for immediate dispatch to the Far
East, leaving General Kuropatkin in
command of the first army, and, it is
understood. with no control over Grip
penberg, the latter being entirely his
own master so far as KurOpatkin is
concerned.
The emperor is personally convinced
that the political as we'll as the mill
tary prestige of the empire is at stake.
and that every other consideration
must give way before the exigencies
of war. The resources of the empire
in men and money must be drained, if
necessary, in order to turn the scale
and vindicate the power of Russia.
The reorganization amounts to formal
notice to the wOrld-as the emperor
frankly explains in his rescript-that
he intends to vastly increase the num-
Der of troops at the theater of war in
order to force the struggle to a sue
