CORNSTALK DISEASES.
Rotation Of Corn Advocated by Iowa

Iowa millions annually. That is the rea-

The statement was usually made that

The corn root louise or Corn root worm.
The disease attacks roots. stalks,nnd
the ears. 1t has not been determined
whether all OF these diseases are
caused by the same organism or not.
In many fields the corn was broken off
just below or above the joint. The
rith ~ soft material in the cornstalks
was destroyed and was brownish or in
some cases reddish In color. The fibers
were soft and easily broken Off. The

RUSSIAN DRIVE LOSING SPEED
Counterattacks by Won Hindenburg's
Forces Checking Brusiloff's
Offensive.

Petrograd, Sept. 25.-Although the
official communications have shed lit
tie light on recent developments in the
war situation, it is learned from staff
officers that after a long lull the bat
ties at all important points on General
Brusiloff's front are again assuming
the intensity which characterized the
first period OF his advance.
The principal centres of action are
the districts near Vladimir-Volynski
and west of Lutsk the Halicz region,
and the Carpathians. and in each OF
these territories there has been gen
eral resumption of the fighting, which
has spread to adjacent sectors until
the whole southwestern war theatre
from the Pripet Marshes to the Dan
ube may be said to be again in action
The nature OF this action. however,
has undergone conspicous change
since the first smashing blows in
Brusilon's campaign.
Although the Russians still claim
the initiative. it is evident that the
German counter attacks are becoming
constantly more frequent and more
vigorous, and in the large numbers OF
reinforcements sent to these regions
from other fronts, as we'll as the more
aggressive character of the German
fighting, there are signs that
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, the
new chief of staff, is planning a new
campaign to recover the old positions
before winter sets i'll.
To meet this the Russians have al.
ready begun fresh oifsensive, the de-
tails Of which has been undertaken on
large scale with the object of max.
ing a desperate effort to pierce the
AustroGerman fronts before the fall
campaign is over.
Great reticence is observed by the
war office, which in an official bulletin
today merely said that no events OF
Importance had occurred.
