MOTOR TRUCKST0
Be Modified BY
NATL COUNCIL
-W.S.S.-
(By Associated PreSsl

Washington, June 22.-One Of tn
various side lines of national endeav
or that have come within the scop'
of the National Defense Council is th'
task of stimulating in some way tn
use of motor trucks in the transpor
tion of short haul freight, especial
ly in the distribution Of products from
cities to surrounding rural regions, ant
returning foodstuffs and farm out
puts to the consumer.
With government food, railroad anC
fuel administrations demanding as
Isistance for the railroads by the re.
dutcion of their freight burden, plus
an increase in freight rates, hopeful
plans are being worked out by the
highways committee of the Defense
Council to put some of the work du-
ring the coming year upon the motor
truck and trailer. Representatives, of
twenty states were called in to see
q demonstration recently of an expert
mental system for actually putting
some trucks on the roads, as against
merely conversing pleasantly upon the
subject.
The National Councils committee,
applying a plan devised by J. Clyde
Marquis, one of its members, selected
a sample district in Maryland, wrote
letters to 100 farmers who lived in
it, received answers indicating their
willingness sto support a truck line,
and ended by getting one started. They
did the pioneer Investigating work, Mr..
Marquis explains, and trust that the
business will develop in the particu-
lar locality to keep the line paying.
The representatives of state COM
mittees were asked to observe the
plan, take heart from the Endorsements
of government agencies, and 60 and
do likewise, or nearly likewise, all
over the United States.
Possibilities are not entirely neg
lected now, the committee reports,
finding that 13 2truck lines are run
ming in California and a considerable
number in Colorado. A census now
being extended indicates a tendency
of the ew transportation system to ex-
tend, whether the Defense Councils
plan proves entirely effective or not

1t is evident that they are able no

In addition to the aid extended by
the government, the commission has
received valuable cooperation from
various large mining companies. most
ly those backed by foreign capital.
One mine at Ell Gro, State of Mexico,
converted four huge sleei "pachuca
tanks" into a miniature grain elevator,
capable of holding thousands of bush
els. This grain is retailed at prices
below cost through the company
store to its employees. When condi-
tions forced the closing of a. great
smelter at Aguas Calientes, the COM
pany, to keep its idle employees from
want, continued the distribution Of
corn from it's storehouses at the Gus
tomary pricese.

when It sprouts and lives within the
grain until harvest time. During the
past few weeks l have visited many
of the grain fields in the valley and
have found some smut in about 20
per cent of the wheat fields visited.
In most cases the amount found was
small, but on the other hand, grain
was found of which IL per cent of
the field was smut. This shows very
clearly that smut is spreading in the
wheat and needs to be checked. The
smut is serious here this year in that
there is plenty throughout the val
ley for very good seeding next sea-
son.
Shrinking smut of wheat, as well as
the other smuts that are in the small
grains here, may be very effectively
controlled by proper seed treatment.
While treating does not seem to be a
complete success, yet care must be
taken so as to kill the smut and still
not injure the grain. The best treat
ment for wheat that can be recon-
mended at this time for the valley is
the bluestone and lime treatment.
Seed treated properly in this manner
will not be injured, but the treatment
will lactually have beneficial effect
upon the seed, especially if allowed
to remain in the ground some time
before being irrigated. This treat
ment will lalso control smut in bar
ley.
"For oats, the formaldehyde treat
ment may be used, which is cheaper
and takes less time. There are a
few very good fields of oats in the
Valley which the owners nave good
reason to be pro~d of. There is,
however, a small amount of smut
found in the oats and in order to
prevent its increase the seed should
be treated this fall before sowing.
"The wheat grown in this country
is feeding the world. Let US ali help
keep the wheat grown here free from
a disease which will decrease the yield
and quality. Detailed information on
treating gains for smut may be OBJ
tanned through the farm advisers or
from the University of California.
More information will also be given
through the press just before plant
ing time"

DISTRIBUTE MILLIONS
BUSHELS CORN IN MEX.

Partial failure of the 1917 corr
crop, upon which the greater part Of
Mexico's $4,000, 900 inhabitants depend
for sustenance, was the primal factor
in the formation of the commission
There was danger of famine in some
parts of the country, and it was diff
ficult to transport food to these re-
gions from the surplus that obtained
| in other parts of Mexico. By its work
the commission averted the threatened
famile, stabilized the price Of corr
and, in a great measure, prevented
speculation in it.
After presenting the facts before
the consul general of the United
Staes here, an export permit was OBJ
tanned from the United States gov
eminent to cover the importation of
100000 bushels of corn monthly from
December /, 1917, to October 30, 1918.
The commission now is endeavoring to
secure another similar permit.
The first shipments from the Unit
ed States, which were bought through
a Kansas City firm, were distributed
in various citiese and towns along the
border. where there was a great scar
city ard where the prices was eX-
ceedingly high. Later the distribu-
tion was extended to other parts of
the republic, notably to the large
mining camps where the companies
bought many carloads from the COM
stored it and then retailed it
at much below cost price to their en-
ployes.
Chambers of Commerce, located at
Or near these points, have ether been
the direct distributors, or have had
narge of the distribution. This su-
persion, however, was not necessary
in the case of the mining and indus
trials concerns, who benefited great
y by the importations, for there was
Danger that they might have had to
shut down their plants had the food
supply for the employees been exhaust
I'd.
Another phase of the commissions
activities was the establishment in
,he City of Mexico of forty stores,
which retail corn 20 the laboring
classes at about 25 per cent below
market prices. These stores, accord
ng to the report, are selling about
500 bushels daily. 1t is planned to
start, as soon as possible, ticket
system, whereby each ticket holder
will receive about 25 pounds of corn
weekly. An attempt by the commits
;ion to put into effect scheme for
he distribution of sugar similar to
hat for corn has not yet been COM
,leted. |

FIELDS N DANGER

! Nv sSsS.-
u. s. Department Of Agriculture Ex-
pert Finds Smut on Wheat in the
Valley and Urges Farmers to at
Once Take Corrective Measures
Against It. .,. .sa -
Following his visit of inspection to
the valley, June /, A. 0. Meier, teid
assistant in cereal Investigations for
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, made the following state
ment regarding the extent to which
he found rust and smut in the valley
wheat fields: 49,
"Smuts and rusts, which are the
most serious diseases Of grains in the
United States, are both present to
certain extent in the Imperial Valley.
While rust may be found in many
Imperial Valley wheat fields at this
time, no undue alarm should be felt,
as thus far the loss has been small,
for the reason that practically all the
wheat that was planted early is now
matured or nearly SO and is past any
danger from rust. After the wheat
is in the hard dough the rust will do
no damage to the grain, even though
it does appear in the field. This
brings out the advantage of sowing
wheat early and thus allowing 1t to
mature before the rust begins to
spread. Rust is fungus disease
which spreads only under certain eli
matte conditions. These conditions
are hot weather and plenty OF mois-
ture. q
"Irrigating wheat during short
hot spell should be avoided, as it will
help to spread the rust.
"Some varieties Of wheat will rust
easier than others. Of the wheats
grown in this state, Defiance is most
resistant to rust attack and Sonora
is least resistant. Much Of the De-
fiance grown in the Valley this year
seems to have been mixed with other
varieties. This will necessitate pick
ing out Defiance seed carefully next
fall. Treating the seed will not pre-
vent rust. -.+
"Smuts are the most serious dis
eases of grains in the United State.s.
Last year the loss in the United States
from smuts in wheat alone amounted
to over 3O,OOO,OOO bushels. The to-
tai production of wheat in the lmper-
ial Valley this year will not be l per
cent of the above loss.
"It seems to be generally believed
here that smut is not serious in this
Valley, but that is not the case. Prob
ably the reason for this opinion is
that barley which has been grown
here for many years shows only a
small amount of smut in most fields
and has not as yet increased enough
from year to year to cause any serl-
GUS losses. The smut of wheat, how
ever, is not the same as the smut OF
barley, and will not necessarily act
in the same manner. The wheat smut
found in this valley is the covered
or "stinking' smut of wheat, also
called "bunt." 1t is not as easily no
ticed in the field as other smuts are.
This smut is parasitic fungus
which attacks the grain at the time
