MAKE WAR ON ONION MALADY
Strong EEprts Going On to Stamp Out
Dis-ase That is Known
as Neekrot.

To combat neckrOt-a destructive
storage rot of onions-in various local
tiles Of the United States, the United
States department OF agriculture next
season is to assist growers In testing
method of controlling the disease
with the hope Of putting the method
on a practicable basis for CONNER
cial use. Specialists of the depart
ment will be assigned TO the districts
affected to advise farmers and to help
In the installation and equipment Of
necessary structures.
The districts known to be infected
include the principal Onion-growing
centers in Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Ohio, Indiana, Delaware, Wisconsin
and Oregon. The disease occurs in
other states also. Losses Of from %
per cent to IS per cent in white onion
sets have been recorded in the vicinity
of Chicago and in northern Indiana.
Red and yellow onions are not at
tacked as seriously as the white vari-
ETY..
The disease known as neckrot is
caused by a fungus. The parasite en-
ters the wounded neck of the bulbs at
harvest time and gradually rots the
scales until they become dried up and
worthless. OF the control measures
that have been tried, artificial drying
Of the onion sets in crates just after
harvest has given the best results. The
object of this method is to cure the
necks as soon as possible, and thus
check the fungus before 1t enters the
flesh scales. In various lots treated
recently the rot was reduced from IA
per cent to per cent; from Al per
cent to z per cent; from 53 pei
cent to z per cent, and from 90 pei
cent to 10 per cent.

Controversy has long ragged regard

$4,000 worth of big shells must be

amount of steel must be hurled by the
big guns to insure fatalities. Yet the
actual number of men killed on all

"The greeting which | am glad to
send to the women of our beloved

thought for its theme-the thought
that is in all our hearts. That
thought is that we are sustaining, not
a government, but the very principle
of our nations life. The morale Of
the war is in thoughts and aspira-
tions and hopes Of the women as we'll
as Of the men.
"They stand at the very center of
every issue involved as the men do,
and in that sense the war is theirs.
1t is a war for what is humane and
right. They can put all that is best
of them into the struggle. And they
are doing so.
II deeply admire them and am
proud to stand with them. A new
glory attaches to the Fourth Of July
because we are striving to make the
