Strange Ideas About Cause of Rust

Strange Ideas About Cause of Rust
What is the cause of the black rust
of wheat?
Plant pathology men have gener-
ally agreed that the barberry is re-
sponsible for rusts that cost the farm
er millions of dollars annually. Field
assistants for the campaign in Min
nesota, however, meet Investigators
who have made observations that do
not bear out the barberry theory.
Mark A. McCarty, field assistant in
the United States department Of Ag-
riculture, was surprised, after work.
ing intensively and extensively
around Pipestone in the interests Of
the eradication of the barberry, to
see a letter from B. Nedam in the
Pipestone County Star regarding the
rusting Of grains in which he said in
part:
Neither the barberry plant or any
other plant has anything to do what
ever with the rust on grains in any
way, shape or form. There is only
one cause Of rust and that is the cold
coming out of the earth.
when a field of grain rusts there
is frost in the ground below that
grain. There is absolutely no other
way. When one field has black rust
and another field has red rust, what
ia the difference? Simply this. The
field that had the black rust had more
frost below it.
Had the field with the red rust
had a little more frost in the ground
then it, too, would have been black
rust in a few days. When the field

Dread Cereal Blight Appears in U. s.


One Of the most dreaded diseases of
wheat, oats, barley and rice has been
found in the United States. It was
discovered for the first time in
Illinois, across the river from st,
Louis, and has also been found in
several counties in Indiana. Owing
to it's exertme seriousness it is known
as the "take-all'' disease.
Every grain-grower in Minnesota
should keep sharp lookout for this
disease, so that it may be stopped be-
fore it has chance to spread and
cause the enormous losses that it is
constantly causing in Europe and
Australia" says DR.. e. G. Stakman,
plant pathologist at the Minnesota
Experiment station. Pathologists re-
presenting sixteen states and the fed
eral department Of agriculture had a
conference in st. Louis. The diseased
fields near were carefully examined.
That the disease must be prevented
from spreading in order to avoid
enormous losses was the unanimous
opinion of all plant disease special
lists.
1.-The 'take-all'' disease must be
kept out of Minnesota" adds DR..
Stakman. Watch for it,
The symptoms are a stunning of
the plant and narrowing Of the
leaves, which quite often are blush
green in color while the normal
plants are grass green; mating of
the plants on the ground, because
some of the roots are rotted off and
new roots and shoots keep being sent
out which also rot; rotting of the
roots so that when a person tries to
pull diseased plant it breaks off at
the ground. Diseased patches in the
field often can be seen from dis

are characterized by stunted plants.
1.-THE disease lives over winter both
in the seed and in the soil so that its
control is extremely uncertain and
dif1cult.
eff any patches of badly stunted
plants appear in Minnesota fields"
says DR.. Stakman, farmers should
send specimens Immediately to the

Farm, St. Paul. Every one should
cooperate to keep this disease out

CALLED FOR QUICK THINKING
Skipper Of Burning Ship, With Cargo
Of High Explosives, In No POSI-.
ton to Hesitate.

The Cephalonia was deeply loaded
with shells, and her chill-rooms were
filed with T. N. T. for the Italian
army, writes R. q. Cropley in the At.
lantic. She was well in the midst
Of the convoy proceeding down the
Thames, and had Just passed beyond
the submarine net. when a thin pencil
Of smoke was seen to rise from the
corner Of No. 1 hatch. It happened
to catch the third officers eye first,
and he called Sammy's attention to 1t.
In two shakes Sammy had sounded
four blasts on the siren, and flag
fluttered from the yard-arm, which
caused all other ships to give him q
wide berth, as the propeller Of the
Cephalonia churned up the sea in her
frantic effort to back and turn as If
to return to London. A ship on fire
should return to port. but Sammy, with
a cargo Of T. N. T. wasn't the kind Of
q skipper to risk blowing cottages and
Riddles into the next world in an ef-
fort to save his own skin. No; he
turned the Cephalonia till her stern
was head to the breeze, and slowly
kept her backing seward to restrain
the FIRE, If possible, from spreading
aft to his chambers of T. N. T.;
backed her away from port and other
ships, so that, If she did blow up, the
military loss would be confined to the
Cephalonia alone. And all the while
he was wondering what moment u
boat would pop up and send torpedo
into him, or he would strike drift

NO DIS0RIcE To- FEEL FEAR
-0nS-llesuit of -ttar -tias- eesm Gamer
Idea Of What Constitutes
Reak Bravery.

An English observer calls attention
to the fact that our world war has
DESTROYED the fear Of being afraid.
Heretofore, even to most distant an
tiquity, the one quality insisted on In
the soldiers was that hes Shouid be
fearless and the more callously % the
better. The faintests tremor OF tmid-
ity was black mark against the most
respondent knight as well az the low
lest bowman zor .halbardier, and the
schooling for war was an utter den-
ance Of the personal risk.
! This theory held. zas many Will re
member. even I'LL the period OF the
Boer war, when, the British suffered
so severely IN officers because 1t was
held cowardly for a commander to
seek cover. Men, then as now, felt
fear, for that Is one Of fesh's attri-
butes and, indeed, Is one OF the most
valuable Of human possessions, since
fear is our. protection from dangers
and harms ,innumerable. We fear wild
beasts to avoid them, snakes and
spiders to increase our attention,
storms and tempests that we may pre-
pare means Of escape from them.
So 1t was only In battle that chiv'
airy insisted that man should be with
out fear, or pretend to be.
With the coming Of new warfare.
however, all lands at once came to a
more sane understanding and the old
physical bravery has given place to
moral resolution. The man who now
enters the hell of shell fire, Of hurled
flames and deadly gases, no longer
attempts to fool himself into the be-
lief that he is not afraid. He knows
full well and only stupid nature
could avoid the knowledge that the
human is at the mercy Of forces
million times beyond his own ability
to counter. The old knight might
really believe he was able to unhorse
all the enemies that rode against him
and therefore might conceivably be
without fear, but how can soldier
feel that way when facing modern
weapons Of destruction?
Therefore, 1t Is no longer q dis
grace to feel fear or to admit It; the
only disgrace is to allow fear to pre-
vent one doing his duty. How much
finer fiber is needed for this new de-
flance!
