Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AEriculture)
Infection with the bacterial wilt of
cucurbits does not occur through soil
or seed. The striped cucumber beetle
and the 12-spotted cucumber beetle are
both summer carriers, and probably
the only means of summer transmis-
sion of the disease in the localities
that have been studied. Introduction
of vlrulent bacteria into the interior
plant tissues is necessary for Infection.
These points are given in a recent
United States department of agricul-
ture publication detailing the results
of studies on the disease. which occurs
in 81 states, including the territory
from Vermont and Canada to Florida
and west TO Minnesota, Nebraska, Col
orado and Texas. The disease also
probably occurs in parts of California.
OF the common domestic cucurbits the
disease affects cucumbers, cantaloupes,
summer and winter squashes and
pumpkins, but not watermelons.

insurance against this disease. The
beetles prefer unsprayed plants as
food, and undoubtedly the efficiency OF
wilt control would be enhanced II a
slightly earlier trap crop, such as
squash, were planted along the edges
of the cucumber field. The beetles
could be easily poisoned there with a
strong insectIcide.
Pulling of wilted vines during the
first part of the season. or as long as
1t can be done without mechanically
injuring the healthy plants, will great
ly assist in controlling bacterial wilt
If consistently done in all neighboring
fields. The diseased vines should be
buried, or otherwise removed from ac-
cess by the beetles.
Where few plants only are grown
in garden plats, screening the hills
with fine mosquito netting will prevent
the appearance of the disease.
Control in Greenhouses.

Germany's claim to lead in the worlds
production OF ammonia essential for
keeping up agricultural supremacy has
been defied by Dr. Georges Claude,
whose researches have resulted In the
development Of modern processes for
liQuifying air.
According to DR.. Claude. whose fac
tories and laboratories have been WIS.,
tied by a commission OF governmental
experts. he is able to obtain pressures
fivefold those employed by the syn
thetic process known In Germany az
"Haber's." Under the German process
united hydrogen and nitrogen combine

pilates and chlorides which form the
basis OF modern chemical fertilizers.
DR.. Claude's high pressure union OF two
gases promises to give France at least
seven times the amount OF sulphate fer
tilizer from the simple and relatively
inexpensive apparatus which scientists
say will give French agriculture the In
dependence which has been sought 80
long.
with fertilizer obtainable from the de-
posts In Alsace-Lorraine, France will
be able even to compete, with Germany
end South America in expectation to the
United States. as nitrogen Is obtained
from the air as In the Haber process,
while hydrogen is supplied by any ordi-
nary illuminating gas apparatus in sur
ficient quantities to warrant the install
fation OF Claude's apparatus anywhere.

British naval circles are tremen-
dously interested in experiments soon
TO be carried out by the French navy
as to what effect alrplane bombs will
have when dropped on the deck of q
fully protected battleship. The Brit
fish navy was equally interested in the
tests recently made in Chesapeake
Bay on the old battleship Indiana, but
the French experiments. according to
reports received here. are to be along
lines which will be more indicative OF
what CONSTITUTIONAL course Great Brit
ain will follow If 1t is finally decided
that big ships must continue to be
built, despite improvements in both
submarines and airplanes.
The long discussion in connection
with the big ship controversy now going
on has developed a general belief that
the submarines have been conquered
Even the foremost protagonists of capi-
tai ships. however, admit that airplanes
are still an unknown factor In naval
warfare.
During the war there was but little
direct experience which Is now of value
One British alrman scored a direct hit
on the deck of a German torpedo boat,
the A-40, lying at a dock The A-40
was sunk. She was small torpedo
boat and Of course her decks were of
the highest steel plates. 1t was shortly
afterward observed that the A-40 was
salved without much difficulty and re-
commissioned as good as new. The rec
ords also show one or two merchantmen
sunk by air bombs. but 1t took more
than one to finish them
II Is now reported that the French
navy is determined to settle the point
ct the expense of some former enemy
warships now In her possession! The
first vessel chosen for the experiments
Is the former Austrian armored cruiser
Prinz Eugene. which has fairly heavy
ermored deck. Her decks are now be-
ing reinforced at the Toulon Navy Yard,
and when everything valuable in the
way OF machinery has been taken off the
ship will be towed to sea and the best
French aviators called upon to drop
their heaviest bombs to find out whether
they can score hits under ordinary con-
ditions OF combat and what damage the
hits VIII do.
The test Is also intimately connected
with another naval problem developed
ct the battle of Jutland and elsewhere
Naval armor has hitherto been the
heaviest about the belt. In the last con-
flicts this fact has been met by the de-
velopment OF the art of high angle fire,
which brought down shells plungng
vertically upon the lesser protected
decks. Some OF the severest casualties
sustained upon either side in the Jut-
land fight were caused by shells piercing
magazines, thus destroying the battle
cruisers more effectively than by the
use OF torpedoes.
