The police contend that for obvious
reasons it would be impossible to de

gage was deposited in railroad bag
gage stations. as in the majority OF
cases the travellers are never seen
by the officers If their baggage is
checked and taken from the train by
railroad employees.
Before the next calling of the case
Mr.. Taylor and Attorney Dunford rep

the prosecution reaches the conclu

ton was derived from study of the
epidemics Of late blight which occurred
In 1912 and 1915. The distribution Of
blight in those years was found TO
be exactly that of the heavy rainfall
areas-thls might readily be expected,
but the interesting and important dis.
covery was made that the rainfall that
determined blight was not that of the
months of August and September in
which the actual blighting and rot
ting occurred, but was that Of July.
The explanation of the relationship
of July weather to the blighting that
occurred In the latter months is found
in the life story of the fungus that
is responsible for the wholesale dam

carried to the fields in the tubers.

From the original sources the blight
spreads with every rain. II the rains

The story of late blight is that Of

tial sources of infection are few, and
the severity OF attack hinges upon the
weather of the first half of the season.
This weather determines whether the
fungus is to get an early start or
not.
