have read Miss Hasse's work, and
while cannot at present confirm
her results, in the light of my re-
cent experiments they appear cor
rect. l am still inclined to believe,
however. that the fungus is not en-
tirely to be dispensed with, and it
may play a secondary part in the
development of the disease.
1T is very disappointing to me
that | did not discover this bacterial
cause sooner, but since the discovery
has been made and published | feel
that the facts should be given to the
growers at once. In the preliminary
work on this disease a number of
infection experiments were tried
with bacteria isolated from canker
spots. but unfortunately these all
gave negative results

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SWIM?

Commenting upon the loss of life
in the destruction of the Lusitania,
the Savannah News says: "Of sever
al of the persons lost on the Lusi-
tania it was said that they had new
err learned to swim. 1t is fact that
a great number of sailors not only
in the merchant service but in the
navies of the world even the United
States navy, cannot swim. The loss
of life in sea fights and in dis
asters like that of the destruction
of the Titanic and the Lusitania
would likely be far less if it was the

Kentucky Crop
Reports Shows
Big Acreage
Corn and Wheat

Louisville, KY, May 17-Commis-
sioner of Agriculture J. w. New
man has issued the following crop
report for the month of April which
is the first report of the present
year:
The crop report as of May list, is
the first report from this Depart
ment for the year 1915. An I'M
usually large number of reports
were forwarded us, and save for the
many statements as to the effect OF
the drought, the report is very ia
vorable. Various reports show that
the recent rains have been pretty
general throug hout the State. Some
portions of western Kentucky have
not yet had sufficient rain fall Pre-
dictions are freely made that these
rains will materially better the con-
ditions shown in this report. A
very gratifying statement is made
by many of the correspondents that
there will be larger acreage of the
grain crops than usual.
! High prices of last fall induced
the planting of little above the
average crop of wheat, and the cor
respondents report large acreage
of corn contemplated. There was
sown last year little over 100 per
cent of wheat, ald less than 10 per
cent of this has been plowed up for
any cause. A lack of spring rains
has prevented the proper stooling
of the wheat, and the condition is
given at 81 per cent. Recent rains
will no doubt bring about an i'm
provement in this condition during
the next month
The crop will be slightly above
the average, about 60 per cent of
the crop being planted, SS per cent.
of the blowing having been done by
May i. This is an unusual condi-
ton and puts the farmers further
advanced in their work than ever
before known at this time of year -.
The blowing has been well done and
the recent agitation of deeper plow,
ing and better preparation of the
seed bed for the corn crop is shown
as never before in the State, ant
seasonable weather will mean ar
unusually heavy crop for Ken
lucky.
The oat crop is given at so pei
cent. This is but natural, as thu
increase in the wheat and corn crop
must be made up somewhere else
and the less profitable crop of oat
shows some indication as to de
creased acreage The condition o
the oats crop is given at SO pc
cent.
Preliminary reports on Tobacco
show 81 per cent of the Burley GRO
planted, and SO per cent of the darl
: tobacco. The condition of the Bur
ley tobacco. beds is 81 per cent. an
i the beds in the dark district 62 pc
cent. The drouth has damaged tn
!. tobacco beds very materially, an
cut worms and other insects hav
worked upon the plants until som
of the beds are completely gone.

Citrus Canker Is a
Form of Bacteria

Miami, May 17-Citrus canker is
not caused by fungus, as has been
believed, but is a species of bacteria.
This is believed to have been de-
finitely established by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and partially confirmed by II. E.
Stevens, plant pathologist of the
State University of Gainesville, and
is the substance of report sent to
growers of this city by Mr.. Stevens.
In the opinion of the pathologist this
is the most important discovery with
respect to citrus canker that has yet
been made, and proves conclusively
to him that this deadly disease can
not be cured and that the only pos
sible treatment of it is eradication
by burning.
The discovery was made only a
few days ago by Miss Clara Hasse,
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture, but at the time when
| thC uAoSONCiy was maui IhC otuIV
scientist was maturing experiments
which seemed to lead directly to the
same conclusion. While he hesi-
| tates to confirm the finding posi-
lively from his own experiments, he
declares that in the light of his
work the deduction appears to be
correct.
81 have advanced the fungus the
DRY in a bulletin, and more recently
in a paper read before the State
Horticultural Society at Tampa"
said Mr.. Stevens in his announce
ment can apparently strong case
was made out against this fungus
and its constant association with
canker pots has been the cause of
misleading conclusions. My con-
cluson in regard to the fungus be-
ing the cause of canker was based
on some infection experiments of my
own and the work of Wolf ant
Massey, of Alabama, which seemed
rather conclusive. | have pointed
out. however, that most of my in
lection experiments have giver
NEGATIVE results and that only in ;
very few cases have I been able t,
{ produce typical canker infection
with cultures of this fungus. Thi
difficulty finally led me to suspec
that bacteria were probably con
cerned in the development of tn
disease. Experiments were made t
determine this. A few days befor
the meeting of the horticultural SC
| ciety some infection experiment
were made using cultures of the fun
gus, a combination of the fungi
and bacteria isolated from canke
spot, and bacteria alone.
Upon my return from the meet
ing I examined these experiment.
and the results convinced me the
bacteria were directly concerned !
causing the disease. Where the ba'
l terra were used in combination wit
the fungus and alone, canker infe'
l tions were developing. This was O
Saturday. On the following MOI
day information was received fro
the United States Department Of Al
riculture to the effect that Mi
Hasse had definitely established

Mrs, Avery, and was driven over
your beautiful city by another one
of your members, Mrs. Bear and met
the others of the committee from
your Civic League, l felt that my
dreams were coming true, and that
