GUARD AGAINST EEL
WORMS IN WHEAT
Department Of Agriculture Advises
Precautions 10 Prevent Spread Of
Disease That Has Done Much
Damage In Parts Of the
United States.

Washington, ID. c., October 10-To
prevent the spread of a serious wheat
disease that recently has done much
damage in certain parts of the United
States, especially Virginia, the u s.
Department of Agriculture advises
farmers in Virginia. West Virginia,
Maryland and California to maintain a
careful watch for eelworm gals in
their grain and to make all possible
efforts to stamp out the disease.
The disease may be recognized in
the threshed grain by the presence of
hard, dark-colored gals about one
half the size of wheat kernel. These
gals contain the very small eelworms
1t is best to get seed from uninfested
fields Where this can not be done,
saltwater method is recommended
for removing the eelworm gals from
the sound grain to be sown.
The eelworm has done the most
damage in Virginia, causing as much
as a 40 per cent. loss in some fields
this year. 1t occurs in minor degree
in West Virginia, Maryland, and Cali
fornia, these being the only States
where its positive appearance is
known. but it is feared that the trou-
BILE occurs in other States and posi-
bly, may have been overlooked or mis-
taken for hunt, cookie seed or bin
burnt wheat.
Samples of wheat or grain thought
to be affected with this disease should
be sent for positive Identification to
the State agricultural experiment sta
ton or to the Office of Cereal Investi-
cations. U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C.

SUPPORT EVERY FLAG

Over along the French front the

the trenches alongside the French, the
Belgians and the English. In every
sector there are American regiments
They fight side by side with their al
lies.
Under the American colors yet UNI
der every other allied flag in effect.
For their fight is ours; their danger
is ours, their menace is ouars, and the
final settlement will concern us just
as much as it will them. Just now
our boys are putting new heart, new
vim, new courage into them all.
And we must support every flag as
we do our own.
This means that in this Liberty
Loan drive we must consider the
needs of those other armies that stand
between us and the Hun, just as we
consider our own forces. We must
figure upon supplying them just as
we'll as our boys. We must lend our
money, through Uncle Sam, to these
allied nations as we'll as to our own.
