RUSSIA WILL STILL

THESE ARE THE VIEWS OF PRE-.

HE WAS MiSCONSTRUED.

nnOIeSkin.

etrograd.-tuVsia is still doing
her utmost to carry on the war. She
will continue to do her duty These
are the views of Premier Kerensky.
whose secretary, in L'e name, protest
ed against any Vl1er Interpretation
OF his recent interview with the AS.
ISOLATED Press.
David Soskice, the premier's secre.
tary, made the following statement
today regarding "the misnterpreta-
lion by some of the London press OF
the interview:
Il have seen NJ. Kerensky with ref.
erenee to the interview and shown
him quotations from the English
press. He was very much astonish.
ed at the manner in which his plain
statements We're received in London.
Who ever read the whole interview
can draw but one conclusion from it
Russia was doing, is doing and still
will do her utmost in carrying on her
share of the common cause against
the enemy, having devoted all her
might from the very first days of the
war, when England once began her
vast preparations and America was
still neutral.
Russia, which was always much
poorer economically than her mighty
allies, now naturally feels the pinch
of war more than England and Amer.
lea, and therefore is justified in the
contention that her allies now should
shoulder the heavier burden and
should assist her unstintedly with war
material and finances, in the matter
of her requirements.
THE minister-president in this in
terview pointed out that not every
one of the allied countries appreciates
fairly the great part Russia has play
ed and still is playing in the war, and
that some were inclined to attack her
bitterly because of the great difficult
ties with which she is confronted
now. She will continue to do her
duty
M. Soskice said the interpretations
of the American press of his inter
view were pleasing to M. Kerensky.
The latter recently recovered from a
serious illness, and in few days is
going to England on official business.

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS TO

WORST OF ALL DISEASES

FaNetfeYille-

The University of Arkansas will CO.

eminent in a nationwide drive on
cereal rust and other grain diseases.
A P. Drechsler of the federal Bureau
of Plant Industry has been in Fayette.
vile comforting with members of the
College of Agriculture, and it is likely
that new lines of experimental work
will be done there.
Cereal rust is probably the worst
of all the grain diseases for no means
of stopping It have yet been discover
ed. The Department of Agriculture is
carrying on extensive experimental
work in an effort to discover a rene
dy for the disease and means of
controlling it. There will also be a
great deal Of work done in the South
ern States, where the rust usually gets
its first start
The damage caused by rust in
wheat is several million dollars year.
In 1908 it was $4,000 600. The rust
will start in one section and in a very
short time will scatter all over the
entire United States. 1t is estimated
that it takes three weeks for it to go
from Arkansas and Texas to North
Dakn a. 1t will reduce crop of SO
bus 1els an acre to one Of three or
far
Only one way of curbing the de-
structiveness of this rust has ever
proved efficient. That is the planting
of variety of wheat that will resist
it. Different varieties Of wheat have
different degrees of resistance. Earl
mess in maturing snbined with some
degree of resistance Of certain varie-
ties constitute the chief protection
found by the experiment station for
Arkansas wheat growers against rust.
