ADVISED
 ABOUT FLAG SMUT
Experts of Agriculture Depart
 ment Working Out Plan

Washington, August 1s (By The
 Associated Press)-Farmers in the mid western wheat fields where the
 spread of flag smut among the crops
 is causing increased loss in the har- vest, are urged by experts of the agri- culture department to plant varieties next fall which are immune to the parasite or more highly resistant The region adjacent to St. Louis In Ill., nois and Missouri has been found to contain an area of about 700 square miles in which the spores are spread l ing rapidly. where, in 1921, only 72 square miles were infected. The de- partment experts believe that at- tempts at eradication are likely to fail and that change in planting is the only means of checking the spread. Large Damage.
 The damage wrought by the smut amounts to a large figure. In Aus tralia, where conditions are similar to those in some parts of this country, fields sometimes show losses as high as 20 per cent, it is said, and the in- lection is, in general, like that of bunt or stinking smut in our own wheat growing regions. In the two states where this smut has been found parts of fields have shown losses as high as 20 per cent but 1t is doubt full if field losses there have been as much as per cent of the crop.
 Effects On Wheat.
 A number of varieties of wheat {p 3o not to take the disease at all or to be highly resistant to 1t. Of the soft winter wheats, Red Rock, Stoner or Marvellous. Fulcaster Mammoth Red and Dietz are in this class Of the hard red winter wheats, Illinois 1o no, Kanred. Illinois 12-41 and P- 1o6s, are highly resistant if not inn mune. the department states. Nu- merous strains and varieties have shown high resistance. but some vari- eties that have been very popular ih this district have been found to take flag infection very readily.
 Carried By Wind.
 Investigations indicate the prob ability that the spores of the disease are carried by the wind from field to field, a department circular de- clares, and for this reason 1t is doubt full if any quarantine measures can be effective in preventing its spread. There is a strong indication that the growing Of resistant varieties Is the least expensive and most dependable method of preventing loss, 1t is added, | Crop rotation also will help to keep l the disease under control for, unless d variety is completely resistant. growing wheat after wheat will in- crease the infection in field.
 Farmers within or near the infect l ed area are urged to consult with | their county agents or state experi- ment station and arrange to get sup plies of these recommended varieties for sowing in the fall.

ton to dictate terms,
 The employer does not have to take this reasonable course, if he does not want to. He can use these next years 10 pile up trouble for himself and his successors Tn days to come, If. however, the employer is wise, he will take advantage of his position to set up the best kind of machinery, with which to defend himself and his industry. It Is not question of strikes In the immediate future, It will be a question of sabotage, sabo- tage, however. Is worse than strikes. It demands fts own treatment,
 Tn view of these conditions inves- tors should give more thought to the labor policies of the companies In examination of corporation earnings shows that the labor policy is the great determining factor between pro- fit and loss during normal times. This especially applies to various concerns in the same line of industry. They all pay approximately the same price for raw materials; they all have prac- tically the same hours of work, but  one company succeeds and the other fails Statistics show that the differ ence is very largely due to their labor and financial policies. Therefore, conservative investors will seek secu- rites of companies which have a broad minded labor policy and which companies are now developing plans which will be of use when the next period of prosperity comes. Ice can not be gathered in the summer, but must be put up in the winter when it Is not needed. The same principle applies to labor. Labor troubles are very difficult to settle when they oc- cur Wise manufacturers prepare. during such times as these, prevent i've measures so that labor troubles will not occur when times are good"

passed. Nevertheless. we are going to have sttkes. There are going to be a good many of them. They are going to be called for reasons other than the ones that backed the strikes of war time. Then men went on strike for more pay. They were courageous, confident, buoyant. They were sure of success. They were seldom disap- pointed. In the future just ahead, they are going to strike against wage cuts against attempts to rule out the unions They are not going to be as successful as they were in the war time strikes.
 Tn consequence of this the real question of the next few years is as to the frame of mind which labor is going to have. Tn contrast with the buoyant confidence of the war years, labor is now going to be sullen, re- sentful, revengeful. What they do not gain in open victories, they are going to be disposed to accomplish by indirect means. A man who can- not get his pay raised can stall on the job. He can get the best of his pOco ny dii VI HdoIy lliCAS III the factory.

 Problem of Employer
 Right here Is the problem Of the employer of the next few years. How shall he meet the new temper of labor? In my opinion that ugly temper must be met by open dealing, by setting be- fore labor the facts under which busi- ness is done and by admitting labor progressively to a greater share in management of the elements of the industrial relation which most directly concern labor. That is to say the time to develop personnel depart ments. set up profit-sharing, organize shop committees and all of the rest of the things that belong to this class is, not when labor is in the saddle and holds a gun at the employers head, but when the employer himself is in the saddle and is in the posi-

Aug. ls.-- In view of the newspaper space re- gently taken by the coal strike. rail- road strike and certain textile strikes we are prone to think that strikes are very general at the present time. Rog- CT w. BAbson. however, refutes this opinion In . statement Issued today a follows:
 Dabson Speaks
 As a matter of fact. we have very few strikes at the present time. Ever sance the war the strike curve has been below the point which was then called normal This fact that we have had three strikes of large dimen- sions blinds us to this basic truth. Two Of these strikes, the coal strike and the rail shopmen's strike, are in industries which have not been defiat- ed. 50 far as war time wages go. The other the cotton textile strike, has been partially dehated and the trouble 10 about going the rest of the distance The difficulties in these three indus tries arc then eases of belated hostili- ties
 For the most part, labor Is not
 
 striking, wages are being gradually let down to lower levels and the dis position of men is to keep at work There Is always rise in the strike curve during the summer. We are having that rise now. Nevertheless, we are not having the number of the wide distribution of strikes which we had last year or at any time since 1915. We will not have a repetition of those conditions this year. The strike curve Is nearer normal than al- most anything else in industry.
 Strikes VIII Continue
 As to the future, the answer Is to be looked for in conditions. What made the tremendous wave of strikes which marked the years 1915 to 1920? The simple fact that there were more jobs than men; that the cost of living was going up; that labor was in a position to force the issue. No such prospect Is in view for the years right ahead. Therefore, we need not look for a repetition of the strike condi- tions Of the war days Those days are

An animal that Is becoming rarer

The Esklmos have adopted very
ingenious device for finding out the
whereabouts of the animals They

and connect them by means Of string
with the shallow parts Of the sea
which forms the animals haunts. Con

Sea-otters are generally killed while

sent her grandmother a slip which
