10000 Prisoners
Taken BY Allies

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The num-
Der !of prisoners taken by the
Allies since July l has passed the
10000 mark, General March said
today. In the same time the Allies
have taken from Germany 1900

The French advance noted in this
mornings official statement from
Paris, the chief of staff pointed out.
marks the creation of another deep
salient in the enemy lines which is
now being put between the pincers. ,
The French have reached NelSe and
are within two miles of the Somme
at this point.
Since last Saturday, the British,
as a result of their persistent ad-
vance, have overrun the linden
burg line for a distance of one mile
on a front of three miles.
Latest dispatches to the depart
ment, Gen. March said, do not indi-
cate any cessation in the Allied
pressure. The British apparently
are continuing their progress on the
Flanders front. On the French
front the attack Tuesday on IL
mile front went forward two miles
and eliminated in the capture o.
Roye. Since then very important
ground to the east of this place
also had been captured.
Summarizing the military activi
tives or the western front since Sat
urday, General March said the Brit
ish had carried the Allied lines be
tween the Scarpe and the Somms
over the billy plains east Of Alder
against determined resistance OF
the part of the enemy. On Tues
day the British continued to depth
of five miles along the very impor
tant Cambrai-Aras road.
General March confirmed the re-
ported advance of the Austrians II
Albania, resulting in the Withdrawal
of the Italian front east of Berat.
In answer to questions, Genera
March said the DIST Division troops

Serious Wheat Disease.
From News.Record.)

A serious disease of wheat
which has been long known in
Europe, has been recently found
in America, and particularly in
Virginia, and the result Of the
recent surveys made by the De.
partment of Agriculture tend to
show that center of infection
is here in Rockingham county.
This disease is caused by d
microscopic insect called Mem
atode or Eelworm, and when TIL
grain is affected the kernel be-
comes dark brown in appearance
and much smaller than a normal
wheat kernel. At casual
glance one might pass these dis
eased grains by as cookie or bunt
smut, but upon closer examina
ton you will note the shrunken
grain of wheat turned dark brown
and very light and chaffy. Each
one of these darkened grains con-
tain thousands of living Nema-
tode young, and if planted or al
lowed to become mixed with seed
grain is sure to infest the next
crop. This trouble can be con-
trolled by planting clean seed
and crop rotation.
The disease has been found SO
generally distributed throughout
Rockingham county that every
effort must be made this fall 10
avoid sowing seed wheat affected
with Nematode, or the Toss il
next years wheat crop will run
into thousands of bushels. Re.
cent exa limitations made in this
county have shown crops of
wheat where as high as Is to 40
per cent of the crop has been
mayed. No farmer should SOW
wheat this fall without first ex-
aiming it carefully for this
disease. We must not let thi,
disease become established in
this county. Check it now. |
In order that every farmer O
the county may have an oppor.
tunity of seeing some of til
wheat affected bv this new dis
ease and comparing it with
cookie, smut and other troub es
similar in appearance, | have ar
ranged with Blacksburg to send
an exhibit to the Harrisonburg
Fair, together with bulletins and
other printed matter. and Their. II
will also be man in charge to .
explain to every one just wha,
the disease is and how best FOL
handle it. Don't fail to visit 4
this exhibit in The Agriculture Is
'ent and learn to know the new Ii
disease. I will have an exhib' I'll

nent place III Harrisonburg in a 5
