SPREAD OF CORN ROOT ROT
CAUSED 4 PER CENT DAMAGE

Corn root, stalk, and ear rots are
widely distributed in this country
wherever corn is grown, and have
caused heavy losses. The 1919 loss
is estimated at 1875, 175,000 bushels,
or 4 per cent of the total crop. Pre-
ventive measures of the United States
Department OF observation-disclosures
Bulletin 1176. These diseases are
caused by several organisms and
probably by some other contributing
factors.
Investigations now in progress
clearly indicate that these corn rots
can be controlled. Farmers are ad-
vised to select wall-matured seed
from healthy plants. Avoid all lean
ing or broken plants and all broken
ear shanks, even though the ears
look healthy. Select about FIVE times
as many ears as are necessary to
allow for discarding later all those
ears found to be diseased. Cure and
store the ears in dry, well-ventilated
place.
After the ears are thoroughly dry,
discard all that have too rough dent
ing or that show discolored, pink,
cracked, or shredded shank attach.

ears represented in the germinator

and tip kernels. Then shell each ear
separately by hand. In Smelling, dis

Experiments carried on by the de-

show that it is possible to increase
yields from IL to Is bushels per acre

Soy Ban Growing Popular.

The soy bean has become a crop
of special Importance throughout tho
country, which is indicated by the
large acreage devoted to 1t in 1920
and the increased interest In the pos.

oil. The introduction Of new va
rieties by the United States Depart

FILM MAGNATE IS SUED FOR
$4,000 A WEEK IN ALlMONY
Wife Ayers Edward Small Has Been
Cruel to Her

New York, Aug. 23.--A high water
mark for alimony requests was set yes-
tcrday when Mrs. Laurel Miller Small
asked the State Supreme Court to grant
her $4,000 a week almony and $50 900
counsel fees pending settlement Of her
suit for separation from Edward Small
theatrical booking agent and motion
picture promoter.
Mrs. Small, who was once an actress,
describes herself as an "authoress- poet :
css. astrologist and initiate of thaunat-
urgy and the kabbala.' She delves in
the occult and once was editor Of n
philosophical magazine.
Argument on Mrs. Small's motion
will be held in special terms today.
She alleges her husband makes from
S15 900 to $4,000 week through his
various enterprises in the theatrical
and motion picture world, but has been
cruel to her.
She claims she started her husband
in the theatrical booking business, and
he prospered. One of the projects he
owns, Mrs. Small says, is "Arctic
City" at Port Henry, n. Y, this be
ing an Alaskan village set in the Adj
rondack foothill. which is rented out ia
movies for staging their Far North
film dramas.
