prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Indications are that the two dreaded
foreign foes of wheat, flag smut and
take-all, will not become widespread
In the United States. The United
States department Of agriculture an
nounces that the two states where
these diseases appeared, Indiana and
Illinois, have taken steps that will pre-
vent the spread Of the diseases from
the infected fields and that should
wipe out in a few years the infection
In fields where II exists.
Indiana officials came to the recent
hearing in Washington with adequate
safeguards already placed. Shortly
after the hearing Illinois established
similar safeguards. All the infected
wheat In both states is under control
and win be disinfected before any use
whatever is made Of it. All straw and
stubble are to be burned, threshing
machines are to be thoroughly disin
fected and no wheat is to be grown in
infected areas for several years.
But Fight Is Not Over.
Under these conditions full conf
dence is felt that neither of the dis
eases will spread frohf the diseased
areas an Illinois and Indiana. That
does not mean, however, that the fight
against flag smut and take-all is over.
It is possible that one Or both of the
diseases exist this year in places where
they have not been recognized. There
is, however, no great probability that
this is true. The department Of agri-
culture and Its cooperating agencies
have been diligently on the lookout for
these two diseases all summer and
have found no evidences of them ex-
cept IN the two areas. Both flag smut
and take-all occur In Illinois and only
take-all in Indiana. The experts, how
ever, realize the possibility that some
infested spots may have escaped OBJ
servation and 1t would not be surpris-
ing If diseased fields are found else
where next spring.
In the meantime there will be no letup
in the work of preventing either of the
diseases from getting a real foothold
anywhere in the United States. The
federal department is working with
the authorities Of Illinois and Indiana,
giving them every possible aid. Its
Psychologists are theoretically studying
the disease and Its representatives are
searching the country over to make

SIMON LAKE, U.B0AT INVENTOR

Simon Lake has been at work
perfecting the modern submarine since
1896. And while he was perfecting the
submarine for destruction he was also

OF the tube Is attached to the surface
