GEORGIA WHEAT
IS MENACED BY
TINY EELWORM

ATLANTA, July 10.-1he appear
ance of the eelworm in the grain
crops of Georgia, Virginia, West Vir-
ginian and Illinois has resulted in the
issuance of a call for meeting at
the department of agriculture in
Washington July Is, according to ad-
vices received here, to consider the
advisability of prohibiting or restrict
ing the movement of wheat, oats and
other small grain from those states.
J. J. Brown, Georgia commissioner
of agriculture, said that it is true
the eelworm has appeared in certain
Georgia counties and has wrought
much havoc in them. His department
and the chronological department
took steps some time ago to check
the spread of the disease.
In the opinion of Commissioner
Brown, the quarantine will be the
most effective step that could be tax
en- at this time. Certainly he thinks
it would be much better to quaran-
/ tine a few counties now and thus
stop the disease in its incipency
than to be forced to prohibit ship
ments of wheat, rye and oats the
state over later.
M. Brown says the eelworm is &
small parasite, so tiny that it is visi-
BILE only through the glass. When il
gets into the grain it works rapid
ly destroying the head.
Mr.. Brown said that while Georgis
does not ship much wheat compared
to the great wheat-growing states Of
the west, still the prohibition of any
grain shipments will undoubtedly be &
blow to the state.
He expressed hope that the farm
ers of the state will realize the peri
of the situation and will take steps
of their own accord to stamp out the
eelworm, just as they stamped ou
the cattle tick when it threatened
them.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
