nice hot roasts for not keeping the
people of the state informed as to the

to look at and study the wheat crop, if
they want to learn about wheat rust
In the April number of The North
Dakota Farmer, | called attention to
the fact that the red spores (summer
sporesl Of the leaf rust Puccinia viebi-
go-vera) had wintered through in
large quantities and was able to attack
the crop at once. This it has done and
any one in the valley counties could see

the wheat was up, if they only looked
for it.
On June I3, (see Fargo Forum) l

berry stage (aecidium) of stem rust
was maturing an abundance of spores,
"a quantity greater than usual and much
earlier than usual. The infection was
then seen to be occurring upon wild
barley and other wild grasses near by,
and on near by wheat and cultivated
barley. At exactly thirteen days from
observation, June rs, the first outbreak
Iof the stem rust was observed on these
wild grasses and upon some strips Of
winter wheat which was then far
enough advanced to have received and
to have developed the spores. again

the fact that general rust attack was
quite possible, if rust weather, suited to

Bench Made Of very old WOOD.

A very interesting bench has been
placed in the Moat Garden at Windsor
Castle by Gen. Sir Dighton Probyn,
V. c. 1t is made of wood buried by
an earthquake in India, a thousand
years before Christ. 1t is difficult to
say what the wood is. Some think it
is oak, while others say that it is
rosewood. 1t is very hard, and it was
difficult task to make it into a
bench. This has now been accom-
plished, however. and the result has
been viewed with much interest BY
members OF the royal family. An in
seription is to be placed on the bench
stating its origin and age.
