WHAT IS WRONG WITH THH CLOVER?

WUhA ~ WuUNu WIN I'LL OLOV Lu'
West Raleigh, N. c., April-At
this season of the year growers
Of crimson clover are finding
that some plants are not as thrifty
as they should be. In scat
tered spots the clover appears
to be suddenly willing and dying
Closer examination of these plants
shows that the stems, at or near the
ground level, are decayed or even
completely rotted off, says DR.. F. A.
Wolf Plant pathologist of the North
Carolina Experiment Station. Some
times quite large areas are bare as
result of this disease or are COW
cred by the remains of the decay
ing clover plants. When the dead
plants are examined closely one
other fact will claole any one to
definitely recognize the disease,
namely, the presence Of small, round,
black bodies about half the size Of
a garden pea, .ec;u.i-.liy callcd
Scerlotia. Ihes- ocerlotia are at
tached TO the detached ct2rns.
This disease is known rs clover
stem rot or wilt, anu ,A2 black bod
les are the structures by which. the
fungus causing t..e disease IS piop-
aaated and spread.
Among the 9th er Ieguminous
crops which are subject to the same
disease are red clover, white clover
alsike clover, vetch, alfalfa, and
probably bur clover. Fortunately,
however, cowpeas. soybeans. velvet
beans and peanuts are not subject
to this stem rot disease.
The studies which have been
made during the past few years at
the North Carolina Experiment sta.
ton demonstrate several facts which
are of value in the control of this
stem rot. In the first place
the Scerlotia may remain dor
mant from season to seaso in tie
soil and thus serve as means Q!
keeping the stem rot fungus aliv4
where the disease has once appeared
Furthermore, the Scerlotia may be
scraped up and mixed with the SEED
at harvest time where seed are saved
from diseased fields. The planting
OF such contaminated seed then in
sures the spread of the disease tt
new fields or to a new locality
Stem rot has also been shown to he
spread to new fields when soil from
infested fields is used to inoculate
new fields with the nodule- forming
bacteria. Furthermore, the feedin&
OF hay from infested fields and the
return of the manure to fields plant
ed in clover is another means O.
spreading the trouble. These points
suggest the avoidance of contami
mated seed, the exercise of care
where soil is used to inoculate new
fields, or when manure is returned
to the field. The blowing under
deeply of the Scerlotia during sprin9
prevents their termination and con
sequently the spread of stem rot.
In fields already badly infested
the only reliable means of control is
the adoption of a system CT crop
ping in which cowpeas, soybeans
velvet beans, or peanuts, all of which
are not subject to stem rot, will
serve to increase and maintain sol
fertility just as would have beer
done by the growing of clover. II
this cropping system, winter oats
and rye should serve as cover crops
during winter.

New comnact Fire Escane.

One of the boys aboard our navys fleet has invented fire escape which is similar to the rope ladders used aboard ships. His principal object was to provide collapsible fire escape which could be compacted and con veniently arranged at the window of a dwelling. It consists of a container hinged to the sill in such manner that by opening the window and fold ing the container on it's hinges the metal ladder may be unfolded and dropped. When this operation is gone Through means is automatically pro- vided whereby the ladder is held at q distance from the walls of the build ing. The advantage of such precaution is obvious.

E ariners ]! Watch Your Stomachs
 In Hot Weather
We and Our Allies Are Depending Upon Your
 Strength To Supply Our Armies With Food

You men who work long hours in the fields under blazing sun-you've got to be big eaters, because your food is your strength, and now, more than ever, your strength is badly needed. So guard your health. Be sure and watch your stomach, for in the sum- mer time nearly all illness can be traced to stomach and bowel com plaint. You, yourself, know how lia- ble a man is to sunstroke if he goes in the hot sun too soon after eating hearty midday meal, and also how liable he Is to sudden attacks of stom- aeh miseries. So cool off in the shade before going back to work. Don't take chances.
 Take care of your stomach, friend. You know you can't work well with your stomach out of fix. Safety first" must be your motto. so send to your druggist and get big box of EAT ONIC, enough for yourself and family, yes, and the hired folks, too. It's the wonderful new compound for the quick relief of stomach and bowel mis- cries. It was originated by H. l.. Kra- mer, the man who made millions of people happy with his first great rem- edy, Cascarets.
 Now, all you need do is to take a tablet or two of EAToNIc after your meals. It's good-just like eating candy. Enjoy the quick, sure relief it brings-how almost instantly it re- ieyes indigestion, heartburn, food

UNITED STATES AND SCIENCE
Activities of Entire World Centered on This Country and Interest
 Expected to Continue.

every few people realize that the scientific activities Of the world are centering in the United States, and that they will doubtless continue to do so if material means be given to keep up the work" said Father Charles B. Moufinier. regent~of the Marquette university school of medicine, in re- cent interview in the Marquette Trib- une.
 South America, for instance, is now looking to us for scientific leadership. China and Japan are once more turn ing to us. Great attention is being paid to medicine in South America, Bnenos Aires alone having medical school with 5000 students.
 "The Wistar institute of anatomy, in Philadelphia, is one of the most de- cisive factors in turning the attention of the scientific world to the United States. This institute has an endow- nent which makes 1t possible to give large service to mankind. Just now it is printing copious translated extracts from the medical Journals published and sending them to China and Japan. Duplicates of the Journals are also sent to. South America.
 "A great deal of research work is being done by this school in the direc- tion of discovering dyes. Certain chemical dyes, formerly produced only by Gruebler of Germany, are required in technical work Wistar is now pro- ducing dyes the equal of Gruebler's.
 Tt may be interesting to know that much of this research work has been done by a young Philadelphian who delved into chemistry for his own pleasure and eXperimented in his pri- vate laboratory. Wistar hearing of some remarkable discoveries made by him immediately called him to the in- stitute. placing it's facilities at his dis posal for this important work.

Here is something in the way of ex- pert testimony on congressional con ditions in the year of our Lord, 1918. Congressman Ragsdale of South Caro- lima was trying to get consent for the consideration of a bill authorizing bridge over some little stream in his district. Several members seemed un- duly concerned and inclined to ask questions.
 q have stayed around here today good big part of my time." said Rags dale, "because I want to get this bill through"
 "Should not the gentleman stay here part of his time, anyway" inquired Congressman Dowel of Iowa.
 "No," retorted Ragsdale; "I think could spend my time to much better advantage almost anywhere else than to stay here and listen to the hot air that is turned loose on this floor a large part of the time. I am supposed to take care of my district and repre- sent it down in the departments, be- cause most members of congress are little better than messenger boys now"

The president at one time, according to the report of the senators and representatives who vis- ited him, was inclined to listen to their arguments and arrange con- promise, but in the end the compro- mise was discarded and congress was told to stay in session and pass the revenue bill.

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-It may not occur to the average person that the agricul- tural department of the United States Is doing great deal to help win the war, but the fact is that this depart ment is very important and Its war work is especially useful. Among the many things which the department has done none is more helpful than mo- bilizing farm labor. Agents of the de- pertinent went into the cities, towns and villages and procured men to work 7 or che farms, and the belief Is now expressed that enough farm labor will be obtained to harvest the crops.
 It is not generally known that 67 inspectors of the bureau of animal in- dustry experts on meats of all kinds, are now with the United States army and see to it that the soldiers get wholesome meat. There are 30 in- spectors engaged in similar work with the navy. Another activity of the az ricultural department is the demon stration for preserving eggs so that they can be shipped abroad and used for the army. Great success has at tended the 'pig clubs," in which 100,- 900 boys and girls are now engaged in increasing the output of pork. The department has employed 5,651 exten- sion workers who are aiding the food production and conservation cam paign. It has also aided Tn searching out timber needed in war supplies, particularly that used in making air planes. In fact, there are many enter prises in which the agricultural de- pertinent Is engaged, all tending to help win the war;

Provost Marshal General Crowder and his assistants intend to search all the corners of the country for slackers and for those who would escape doing service for the country. There is a strong public sentiment backing LID the men who are enforcing the draft laws, particularly since the reports have be- gun to arrive showing that many Americans are making the supreme sacrifice for the honor of the country.
 Commissioner Cato Sells of the bp- reau of Indian affairs is not waiting for the adoption of the woman suf- frage amendment before putting equal suffrage principles into practice. He recently appointed Miss Florence Eth eridge to a probate attorneyship un- der his bureau in Oklahoma. The duties of the new attorney will consist of a sort of motherly supervision over Indian children and incompetent In- dian grownups, to see that no one buncos them out of their property. Considerable responsibility attaches to the work for there is probably no wealthier class of people in the world today than the Oklahoma Indians with their valuable oil lands.

The power of the president over congress was never better illus trated than on the day when he delivered his message to the two houses saying that they should stay in session and pass a revenue bill. There was not man within the sound of his voice, either senator or representative, or any other employee about the capitol that was not in- tensely in favor of postponing revenue legislation in order that congress might adjourn and not be compelled to stay here through the hot summer months. In fact, delegations of con- gressmen, headed by what was at one time called the Famous Southern quintet" meaning Senators Simmons of North Carolina and Martin of Vir- ginia, and Representatives Kitchin of North Carolina Sherley of Kentucky and Garner of Texas. had labored ear
