Proposed Law Provides
for SIS, 100000 for Care
of Drug Habit Patients

Measures TO combat the increasing
number of drug addicts following mp
national prohibition have been intro
duced in the senate by Senator France
OK Maryland, chairman Of the senate
committee on public health. at the re-
quest OF the federal public health
service. He says the United States
leads In per capita use Of opium. The
bin would provide s5.000O00 for the
care Of the drug-habit patients.
Senator France declared there are
about 100000 drug addicts in the
United States. $4,000 OF them in New
York. and about 1900 in Chicago.
The drug habit is more prevalent
where prohibition has been In effect
longest. Kansas holding the record for
the largest number Of addlcts accord
ing to population, Senator France de-
clared.
THE Harrison act never has been
rigidly enforced. because that would
have created a desperate situation in
the absence Of adequate hospital facili-
ties for the treatment Of those addict
ed TO hablt-forming drugs, particular
~ opium, heroin and cocaine" said
Senator France.

cause the scab fungi develop on so
many different kinds OF grains and

however, are regarded as important.

can be accomplished 10y use OF drag
chain. All grass and straw should be
burned or otherwise removed from

sca5 Fungus Attacks Corn.
OF those fungi known to cause scab
In wheat the most important one also
attacks corn. One Of the ways II lives
over winter Is on the decaying corn
stalks left on the ground in the fields.
Wheat is often sown on the corn land
with these cornstalks left on the sur
face. The following sea son the fungus
spreads from the infected cornstalks
to the wheat heads and causes blight
ing.
In addition to wheat and corn, the
disease attacks rye, oats. barley and
many grasses. The scab fungi also
live over winter on the infected stub
BILE and decaying straw left on top OF
the ground, and on Infected grass
stems left around the edges OF the
field. These fungi spread from this
material to the next sea sons crop.
Prevent Winter Killing.
It is a common practice in some sec
lions Of the winter wheat belt TO
spread straw on the winter wheat af-
ter the ground Is frozen. In order to
hold the snow. Clean straw from win
ter wheat spread on the fields late In
the winter. after the ground Is frozen,
is not dan gerous IN spreading scab 10
the next years crop. This straw holds
the snow and moisture and prevents
the plants from being broken by the
wind. When psowed under the next
summer IL adds humus to the soil.
Turn the stock into the straw piles
from the badly diseased wheat and
spread the manure on the ground the
following year. Such straw should
never DO spread on the fields, for il is
sure to carry scab into next years
crop.
