Advertising Signs Coming Dow,

Advertising Signs Coming Down.
The Maryland State Board of
Forestry has begun to take drastic
action with reference to the unsightly
advertising signs that have for a long
time occupied places either on or
near the public highways. Begin
ming with June 1. the Board in
augurated q campaign throughout
the entire State, in the enforcement
of the law, which among other things
makes 1t a misdemeanor punishable
by fine to place advertising signs
within the right-of-way of public
highway, or ON private property
without the written consent of the
owner. This in itself is a big task
when there are more than 16,400
miles Of roads to cover and more
than 1000. 200 trees to be given pro
lection and care.
giAIt is the plan Of the state Forester
to see that all illegal advertisements
are destroyed and to prosecute all
violators of the law. The law has
been generally posted and sufficient
public notice has been given of its
provisions.
Advertisers should lose no time in
removing their signs before the State
Forester's men find them and use
them as evidence against the adver-
Users.

A New wheat Disease Discovered In
Pennsylvania.

During the past season there has
come to the attention Of the botany
department of the Pennsylvania
State College School of Agriculture
and Experiment Station destructive
disease of wheat, which appears to
be quite prevalent throughout the
State. In several fields which were
inspected, from 25 to S5 per cent Of
the stalks were diseased and the
kernels were poorly developed.
Where the disease occurs the wheat
heads fail to fill out, or if they do
the kernels are much shriveled.
Accompanying this condition is a
browning of the joints. The straw
just below the joints shows brown,
watery streaks, also.
This condition of the stalks APP
pears to be due to a fungus which
works internally. This parasite. also,
may be responsible for the failure OF
wheat to fill out properly. It is
desired to know the extent and de-
structiveness Of the disease in the
State and remedial measures are to
be tested as soon as possible.
