HOW BLACK RUST
SCARE STARTED
GRAND FORKS MEN CAUSE A
BOOST IN PRICE OF WHEAT
WHEN THEY FIND GRAIN
5LAckENED BY EXPLOSION OF
AN AUTOMOBILE.

This is the story of how a black
rust scare was sent out from Grand
Forks-boosting the price of wheat a
couple of cents for brief period
Geo. e. Duis and M F. Murphy OF
Forkville autoed into the country to
investigate crop conditions. They saw
a lot of wheat, much of Ii good, some
of 1t medium, and few bad fields.
Along one road they were startled
to find some of the standing grain
practically black All around that vi
cinity there were black spots on the
grain. An examination disclosed what
appeared to them a most sensational
find of black rust.
Taking some of these blackened
samples back to town, they quietly ex-
hibited them to few friends
The story of the great black rust
scare spread like wild fire. The news
paper publishers stopped the presses
till they could prepare extras"
a Correspondents of twin city and Chi
cago1 papers rushed frantically to the
telegraph Office and wired frenzied
stories about the great disaster that
had befallen the wheat crop in North
Dakota.
Later Investigations disclosed the
fact that Duis and Murphy made their
sensational find along roadway where
an auto accident had occurred An
auto driver had struck a COW and his
machine exploded, burning up and
blackening the grain In that vicinity
with the SCOT and smudge.
At least that is the story told by the
friends of the two popular Forkers who
created all the excitement. a
The case Is somewhat similar to that
OF the Chicago grain expert who
came out here decade ago to look
over the fields. One morning after
there had been a slight rain the night
before and after several heavy freights
had gone out over the road with the
locomotives putting great gobs OF
black, sooty coal smoke--this expert
was taken afield Great care was ex-
ercised that he should be shown tho
grain to the windward OF the track.
He found some of the most remarkable
evidences Of black smut extant. Near
~ every stalk had a few smudges In
sight. The expert" hastened back
to the city and wired Chicagoans a
black rust scare that had wheat going
up In sky rocket prices--tiIl board
