Black Stem Rust of Wheat

That the black stem rust Of wheat
is gaining Roadway in Pennsylvania
can be noticed by the fact that in
Lancaster County about one hundred
acres in 1918 was seriousley infected
with this disease. The yield was re-
duced to about twelve bushels per
acre The black stem rust is carried
over the winter on the European Bar
berry. The spores of the black stem
rust must find place to live after
they have finished their cycle on the
wheat stem. This lodging place or
resting place is the under side of the
the leaf of the European Barberry.
The following spring the spores will
terminate and find habitat on the
stem of the wheat.
Up to the present time no serious
damage has been located in Bucks
County. However, there has been
found some stages of it on the Europe
an Burberry found in and around
Doylestown The leaf of the Europe
an Burberry at this time of the year
is more or less redish colored, and it
has a serrated leaf, and three thorns
branching out from the base of every
pair of leaves. The United States
Dept. of Agriculture has asked that
the common Burberry commonly
known as the European Burberry be
destroyed because it spreads the black
stem rust of wheat

Deaths and Funerals
James P. Dilts

The funeral of James P. Dilts.
Sergeantsville's oldest citizen, and one
of the oldest in Hunterdon County,
was held at the M. E. Church Monday,
with Rev. J. Jaquith, the pastor, in
charge. Interment was at Rosemont
under the direction of C. w. Green.
Mr.. Dilts, was in his 93rd year, died
suddenly Thursday evening from neu-
ralgia of the heart, from which he had
suffered several previous attacks. He
is survived by an only brother,
Robert H. Dilts, of Lambertville, who
is past 80 years of age. His wife, who
was Letitia Gorden before her
marriage, died some years ago, and
he made his home with his nephew,
John Dilts, on the farm in this village
where he had resided for half a centu-
ry, since removing from Lambertville.
"The Grand Old Man of Sergeants-
ville' he had been dubbed, and few
men in Hunterdon County ever took
the active interest in affairs that he
did up to the day of his death. He
followed both farming and carpenter
ing after engaging in the mercantile
business for number of years until
he was past 40. He was one of the
incorporators of the proposed Della
ware and Pennington Railroad, in
1872, one of the first subscribers
when the long distance telephone
reached the village, the owner of
three automobiles since his 80th birth
day, and installed a heating equipment
in his house but little over year ago.
When younger people were laid up
with the influenza and other ailments,
Mr.. Dilts stepped down to one of the
village stores and acted as clerk for
few weeks, within recent months,
and his mind was always clear and
interested in progressive things.
Sergeantsville has become famous
for it's active old people, up around
the COS the prominent still living be-
ing Mrs. Sophia Besson, Mrs. Eliza
beth German and Mrs. Catharine
Warman. Several others, on the late
SOS are still doing their own work,
and going visiting, but thy belong to
the younger old folks Mr.. Dilts,
as the dean of the set, will be much
missed by an extensive circle of
friends.

Animal Faces.

The likeness of certain human types
to familiar animals is matter Of COM
mon observation. Caricaturists from
the days of the Greeks and Romans
down have made use of its suggestions.
In our daily speech we naturally de-
scribe men as rat-faced, hoggish or
foxy in appearance, or say of noble
looking old man that he possesses a
leonine head.
Still other persons we pronounce
simian, and although few Of us would
care to merit a personal application
Of that adjective, it need not be
wholly uncomplimentary, as one would
imagine. The dignified and venerable
Charles Darwin accepted it as applied

Peace Declaration

just as no declaration is necessary to
make war. The writer's on interna-
tional law recognize at least three
ways in which peace can be produced.
The purpose Of my resolution and
Of the amendment | offered to the ap-
preparation bill. is simply to recognize
formally the fact that the status of
peace has returned. The return of that
status is a return of the relationship
as TO commerce and navigation which
existed before the state of war was
declared to exist.
at must be remembered that while
Clemenceau. Lloyd George and others
at Paris are engaged in actually making
peace, President Wilson is not making
peace. He Is merely negotiating it.
After negotiations, it will not become
peace until 1t is ratified here. and the
ratifcatiops are deposited. The point
is that the other nations have processes
by which thye arrive at peace more
quickly than we can, because our pro e
cedure includes ratification by the Sen
ate. As result, the European nations
will he at peace with Germany before
we can be. unless by such resolution
as this we formally declare the status OF
peace to be resumed.
at is to be remembered also that
there is going TO be a good deal Of op-
position to the treaty of peace as dis
tinguished from the league of nations

Threshermen in Lancaster county got
together and passed resolutions that il

impossible to thresh the crops of the

AS Commissioner Sadler viewed it this

chinery that engineering experts and ex e
pprieuce proved would destroy surfaced
roads to enjoy the same privilege as a
farmers wagon, his harvester or other
farm machinery, an autotruck or auto
mobile.
The combined influences opposing this
bill were shrewd enough to. appreciate
that one third Of all the automobiles

and ns automobile owners and tax
payers. they are opposed to having the
new highways minced. chippcd and
smashed by the sharp cleats Of ten ton
traction engines. The absence Of wide
spread appeal to the agriculturists
through the daily newspapers can thus
be understood
The persistence Of the attack on
Deputy Commissioner Biles was because
as an engineer of experience he knew
the damage wrought by these engines
upon improved highways, and insisted
that they be compelled to have wide
ccats or be refused permission to ira e
verse the improved roadways of the
state.
The provisions Of the bill disprove
the hysterical claim that it would render
