ture believes that attempts at eradi-
cation are likely to fail and that, in
order to check the spread Of this dis
ease, attention should be given to the
growing of varieties immune or high
~ resistant to the disease. 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 and the infection in
general is like that of bunt or sinking
smut in our own wheat-growing re-
gions In two states where this smut
has been found parts Of fields have
shown losses as high as 20 per cent.
but 1t is doubtful If field losses there
have ever been as much as per cent
Of the crop.
Highly Resistant Varieties.
A number of varieties of wheat
grown in this area have been found
not to take the disease at all, or to be
highly resistant to 1t. OF the soft red
winter wheats, Red Rock, Stoner or
Marvellous, Fulcaster, Mammoth Red
and Dietz are in this class. OF the
hard red winter wheats, Illinois 10-11O,
Kanred. Illinois 12-41, and P-1O68. are
highly resistant, If not immune. Nu-
merous other strains and varieties
have shown high resistance, but some
varieties that have been very popular
in this district have been found to
take flag smut infection very readily.
Wind Carries Spores.
Investigations indicate the probable
ity that the spores of the disease are
carried by the wind from field to field,
and for this reason 1t Is doubtful If
any quarantine measures can be eff
fective in preventing Its spread. There
is strong indication that the growing
Of resistant varieties Is the least ex-
pensive and most dependable method
of preventing loss. Crop rotation also
will help to keep the disease under
control. for. unless a variety is COM
pletely resistant, growing wheat after
wheat will increase the infection in
field.
Farmers within or near the infested
area are urged to consult with their
county agents or state experiment sta
ton and arrange to get supplies Of
these recommended varieties for sow
ing this fall.

Harding on his re- turn today but said that no imme- diate governmental steps were to be expected. Other cabinet members who saw the President for discussion of strike matters, indicated the feel ing that claims of railroad manage ments as to their ability to main tain transportation would get test during the next few days. These officials left the inference that if the strike demonstrated symptoms of dissolution as predicted by the car riers, the President might not move again.
 Fuel Situation Serious.
 It was again emphasized, however, the nations necessity for. at. least a minimum coal supply had largely governed the Presidents action in the rail strike to date and would continue to do so. This was most important in the prospect if held out that coal-carrying roads of the dis trict south, of the Ohio river might draw particular government atten- tion or even control, unless better ment of their transportation capacity is accomplished very soon. These lines serve the larger non-union fields which are the chief source of current coal supply for the northeast section of the United States. Three of them, the Louisville and Nashville, Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio. have been forced, 1t was pointed out. to resort to embargoes against other than coal and the com modities listed for prior shipment by the recent emergency orders of the interstate commerce commission.
 Coal production in the territory, though sharply curtailed by the shop mems strike from July l. has been increasing for the last ten days. ac- cording to the railroad car loading figures.
 The definite answer of the strike leaders to the Presidents settlement proposals was expected to reach the White House late tonight and to be made public by tomorrow.
