Wheat Shows New Disease In Spots
Experts Say

mo, the man is not buggy. Meth
err Is he hunting for bugs this time.
II you see'a man shopping around In
your wheat field and pulling few
plants up by the roots, don't put the
dogs after him. He is working for
the United States department OF
agriculture and may be doing you
good instead of injury" says Oscar
Steanson, Smith Hughes instructor
at the Abilene high school.
"Do any OF you remember the
wheat dying out In spots last year
and producing few short wide
heads in those spots? Have you seen
anything like II this year? II you
have, let Il be known. This Is
deadly wheat disease that was re-
ported I'M this state for the first time
last year. 1t has been followed up
all winter and is now showing again
this year. Government experts have
been in Abilene and secured samples.
A survey is to be made Immediately
to determine the extent Of this con-
ditiOn in Dickinson county.
"Look at your wheat fields. DO
they look suspicious? II they do. re-
port the matter to the department of
vocational agriculture at the Abb
lene high school which will be head
quarters for the county survey. II
your fields look suspicious don't pass
It by, as injury done by Jack
rabbits, Hessian fly. or close pastur-
ing but report at once" Mr.. Steam
son urges.
Prof. L. u. Melchers Of the Kan
sas Experiment Station at Manhat-
tan, describes the condition as fol
lows: "A recent visit to Dickinson
county, Kansas, has revealed that a
number Of fields in this county show
the unquestionable presence Of a
fungus disease which had not here
tofore been definitely reported in
this state. Wheat plants are dying
out in spots in the field, the plants
turning yellow and rotting at the
ground at the first joint. Later these
plants. II they do not die complete
ly. will probably produce white
heads. This disease was reported
last year and these fields have been
carefully watched the past season.
A government official who has
this one problem in charge for the
United States department Of agri-
culture came to Abilene for the pnr-
pose Of going over these fields with
l.. e. Melchers. plant pathOlogist, at
the Agricultural College. A careful
survey viii he made and such meas
lres as seem advisable will he rec
for holding this disease
n check.

SAYS CITIES FILL THE PRISON
Only Is Per Cent of Criminals Are
From Farms

During the twelve years J X.
COdding served as warden of the
Kansas state penitcntiary at Lans-
ing, the ratio Of prisoners furnish
ed respectively by urban and rural
populations maintained steady aver
CESS per cent from the towns
and cities: Is per cent from the
farms. These are the statistics de-
spite the fact that 60 per cent of
the population is rural. Mr.. Cod
ding retired as warden a few weeks
ago.
Observation If the prisoners, of
their records before, during and
even after their release from the
prison, brought to the former war
den some salient and interesting
facts about these men 1t reveals
he said, the Importance of each
county giving closer attention to its
mental detectives. for in the great
majority OF cases it is these who
are most likely to fall into the ways
of crime.
"In the So per cent OF the prison
population. that the towns and cit
les are responsible for, are the worst
and olwest types of criminals" said
Mr.. Codding. 1.-THE men who 60 to
Jail from the farms are almost al
ways unedncated, or only partly or
poorly educated, or mental or ply |
steal detectives. The habitual Grim
inals come from the bright. lights
regions. Also, the bulk ofssthe jail
population from the farms is made
up Of tenant farmers and farm la
borers, and among these largely the
transient. shifting type Of tenant or
laborer. Please do not understand
me to fling at the tenant or the farm
1aborers as such. The hard circum-
stances in which some tenants and
laborers are forced to live, the lack
OF educational advantages and the
lack of good, clean, wholesome
homes weakens the moral fiber and
promotes crime.

modification, depending upon the length of the special session of Con- gress.
 The legislation which seems to bulk larger than any other in the eyes of leaders is the tariff. Opin- ion as to the time the enactment of this legislation will consume varies. Some believe that when the matter is gone into extensively the whole summer and fall will be con- stunned. Congressman Frank Mondell Republican floor leader, on the con- trary, is of the opinion that the tariff law can be completed by August. If this estimate proves cor rect, there will be a general hegira of Government officials of all kinds including the President, cabinet ministers, senators, congressman and bureau chiefs, in Alaska before snow flies.

RICHARD ANNOUNCES PLANS
 FOR CHAMPIONSHIP CONTEST

NEW YORK, April 9-Promoter Tex Rickard has announced that the much-advertised and long-delayed Dempsey-C Carpenter ring battle for the championship of the world, will positively be staged on July 2, at Atlantic City, Newark or Jersey City. Under the New Jersey law the fight will be limited to twelve three minute rounds, and if both boxers are on their feet at the end of the contest, no official decision can be rendered in favor of either.
 The champions will fight for sixty per cent of the gate receipts, with Dempsey taking sixty per cent of the fighters share, and Carpenter taking forty per cent, win or lose.
 The price of seats will range from $50 for ringside positions, to $5 for perches in the bleachers. The arena will be three times the size of that in which the Jeffries-J ohnson battle was staged.
 Dempsey will leave Seattle to- morrow for New York, to begin training for the contest, and Car pentier is expected early in May.

JOSLlN SAYS GOVERNMENT
 POLICY IN ALASKA HURTFUL

PORTLAND, April 9-In an ad- dress delivered today before the Third International Mining Congress convention, Falcon Joslin, promoter and for many years president of the. Panama Valley railroad, declared that Alaska is one of the richest territories in the world, but that it will never develop under Government ownership. eve have Government ownership in Alaska" he said, "of our telegraph system, railroad build ing, fur seals and mines That means that all those industries are dead to private enterprise which mean healthy growth. The country will develop slowly, if at all, under the leasing system, with Government regulation and control Words can not describe, without disrespect, the pernicious, oppressive policy of the Government relative to the coal and oil resources of the territory If capital and industry in Alaska are given a fair treatment, Alaska would show growth instead of decline. The real trouble is bad government, with the seat of government at Washing ton and dependent upon hearsay for information regarding conditions in the territory. Until the power of government is placed among the people of Alaska, it will never fit the needs of the country"

UNDERWOOD SAYS ALASKA
 WILL GET NEW DEAL SOON

Under date of March 16, J. J.. Underwood, special Washington cor respondent, says there. is to be a new deal for Alaska under the Harding administration. His opin- ion is based on the fact that mat ters pertaining to Alaska were dis cussed at a recent cabinet meeting, particular reference being made to the fact that the population of the Northland is on the decline.
 There is no doubt, Underwood says, that President Harding is talk ing a keen interest in the North western situation, and if it is at all possible to get away from Wash ington for a few weeks next sum- mer, he will make a trip into that region.
 Just what plans are in mind for opening up Alaska has not been made known, but like everything else affecting the Northern terri tory, there are divers opinions. Senator Cummins has expressed the opinion to Secretary Fall that the Government should run a line of steamships to the North to operate in connection with the Alaska rail- road. The senator believes that the whole trouble in Alaska is due to heavy transportation costs, and a plan to run a line of ships to the territory from San Francisco, Port land and Seattle has been talked about. But it is not likely, Under wood points out, that this plan will be carried out without first over- coming opposition from various quarters, the house committee on territories being among them.
 "If we run Government ships to Alaska" Congressman Curry is quoted as saying, "the probable re- suit will be the ruination of the companies that have done the pio- neering trade. What I think should be done is to build more tonnage for the ships we have rather than put more ships in the business. There is a reasonable expectation that the Government railroad in Alaska will be completed this year. Efforts should be made to develop tonnage for it."
 Congressman Curry and num- Der of other members of the house are planning to make a trip to Alaska this summer, but their plan is only tentative and is subject to
