GUARD AGAINST
EElW0RMS IN WHEAT

Washington. D. C.. Oct s-To pre-
vent the spread OF a serious wheat
disease that recently has done much
damage in certain parts Of the unitea
States. especially Virginia, the y. s.
department OF agriculture advises
farmers in Virginia. West Virginia,
Maryland and California to maintain
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 thrashed grain by the presence
of hard. dark-colored gals about one
half the size OF wheat kernel. These
gals contain the very small eeiworrfs,
II is best to get seed from uninfested
tie Ids Where this can not be done, a
salt water method is recommended
for removing the eeiwor7n 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 ii occurs in minor degree
in West Virginia. Maryland and Cali
fornia, these being the only states
where it's positive appearance Is
known but IL is feared THAI the
trouble occurs in other states and
posi- bly, may have been over look ed
or mistaken for bunt.- cookie seed or
bin burnt wheat.
Samples of wheat grain thought
u, be affected with this disease should
be sent for positive Identification TO
ton or TO the office OF cereal investi-

ture, Washington. D. c.
