CONFlNE STRIPE RUST
no Effort Should Be Spared to Prevent
Spread Of This Serious
Disease of Cereals.


The department is taking steps to
prevent the spread OF the very serious
stripe rust OF cereals (Puccinia gll
marum) recently found in This coun
try. but thus far known to occur only
west OF about the one hundred and
fourth meridian. The Bureau Of Plant
Industry and the Federal Horticul
tural Board have arranged that no
samples of seed collected ia this area
shall be distributed by the depart
ment to points east OF the one hun.
dred and fourth meridian in The
United States or to foreign countries
until al. such seed has been inspected
and. IL necessary, given tho following
treatment:The seed is soaked five
hours in water at % degrees T.. fol-
lowed promptly with Commute i'm
mersion in water at 100 degrees L.
This regulation is considered neces
sary because of the spores and LIVING
hyphn OF the rust not infreQuently
occur within the outer Layers Of The
seed tissue. Seed thus infected. when
planted, may start centers OF infection
in the field or nursery. and thus lead
to the establishment Of this destruc-
tite rust in localities where it is now
unknown.
No effort should be spared, the
cereal specialists say, to prevent the
shipment OF suspected seed out OF the
territory where such seed is intending
for planting, Wheat from the region
under suspicion when shipped for
milling purposes probably, does not
hgure so prominently as q factor in
the distribution Of the rust. though
no carrier can give absolute guaranty
against the spread of this rust along
the right Of ways,
1t is urged that all farmers east OF
tho one hundred and fourth meridian
avoid purchasing for seed any wheat
known TO have been grown west OF
that meridian. County agents or other
agricultural officers should inform
growers OF the danger likely !, result
from planting seed the source OF which
Is not known to them. When It is alb.
solutely necessary to ship seed out of
The region in question, such seed
should first pass through the hands OF
some person, preferably the plant
pathologist or the State botanist, capa.
BILE OF passing upon its freedom from
the rust Owing. however to the prac.
tical impossibilty Of detecting infect.
ed seed in any samples subjected to
Infection, II Is urgently recommended
that such seed he given the above
recommended thermal treatment as n
possible means OF preventing the de.
velopment OF the rust from infected
Kernels. Samples sent for examna.
ton by specialists should be mailed
In containers which can be hermetl.
cally scaled. These containers should
be opened under conditions which
make the distribution OF any rust
spores or rusted seed impossible. II \
Is requested that officers of State
agricultural experiment stations and
other State agricultural officials give
his matter special attention.

Horses Have Tastes in Choosing
Their Hay,

That horses have their peculiar
tastes in selecting the most palatable
feeds is shown by recent inves.i.
cations at the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton. in which some hays were eaten
with great relish while others were
only partly consumed. Mixed clover
and timothy seemed to satisfy their
sppetites best, and bronze grass was
also to their liking. Timothy hay
stood third. None OF the horses were
fond of tall oat grass, while bluegrass
and redtop were also near the bottom
OF the list OF palatable grasses.

London. Dec 2S.-Following is the

King Georges address of welcome at

ace last evening:
Il am deeply complimented by the

given me and Mrs Wilson has been
so warm, so natural, so evidently
from the heart, that We have been
more than pleased. we have teen
touched by it,
Il believe that | correctly interpret
that welcome as embodying not only
your own generous spirit towards u
personally, but also as expressing fol-
yourself and the great nation over
which you preside that same feeling

STATS ATTEMPTS
SUICIDE IN PRISON

Roger Rutherford was bound over
to the district court at Austin, says
the Reveille, after his preliminary
examination at Battle Mountain on
July 3. Rutherford is charged with
burglarizing a residence in Battle
Mountain Sunday, June 2S, and taking
therefrom wearing apparel and other
property during the owners absence.
Rutherford is in the Austin Jail and
this morning tried to commit suicide
by hanging. He tied a red silk hand
kerchief around his neck and the
other end to the bars of his cell door
His attempt at self-destruction was
very feeble and Sheriff Crowell united
the knot and let the fellow fall to the
floor, none the worse for the attempt
on bis life.
