City Trees Menaced..
To the Editor Of The Star


Permit me to call attention to the
present deplorable condition of the
trees of our city in streets. lanes
and parks. Our citizens seem to be
entirely Indifferent and blind to the
scourge of insects that threatens to
destroy all Vegetation 1t reminds
me constantly of the historical say
ing. Nero is fddling while Rome
is burning" only here thousands of
Neros are playing while nature is
consumed by a most ruthless con-
flagration of pestiferous insects.
These are already present in count
less numbers beyond understanding.
and will multiply hundredfold
within a month. Just look at the
young Ghinko trees on 14th street
near Franklin Park and the linden
trees from Sheridan Circle to Wis
consin avenue. No amount of spray
ing will do any good here as the
trunks and branches are hopelessly
infested. 1t is not the caterpillars
that eat up the foliage that is the
worst. but the insects that destroy
the trees and which cannot be reach
ed by spraying.
The tree in front of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church is only
a poor sample what will be in a
month from now all over the city

URGED TO PLANT WHEAT
WHICH RESISTS SMUT
Farmers in Pest-Infested Region
Advised by Agricultural Ex-
perts to Change Variety.

BY the Assoc: :ated Press.
Farmers in the midwestern wheat
fields, where the spread OF flag smut
among the crops is causing increased
loss in the harvest. are urged by eX-
perts of the Agriculture Department
TO plant varieties next fall which are
immune to the parasite or more
highly resistant. The region ad-
jacent to ST Louis, in Illinois and
Missouri. has been found to contain
an area of about 700 square miles. in
which the spores are spreading rapid
ly. where. in 1921, only seventy-two
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.
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 coun-
try. fields ometimes show losses as
high as 20 per cent. 1t is said. and
the Infection is. in general. like that
of bunt or shrinking smut in our own
regions. In the two
states where this smut has been
found parts of fields have shown
losses as high as 20 per cent. but IT
is doubtful if field losses there have
ever Deen dS Hlutn dS pei ScHl VI
the crop.
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 it. OF the soft
winter wheats. red rock, stoner or
marvellous. fulcoster. mammoth red
and dietZ are in this. class. OF the
hard red winter wheats. Illinois
1O-ll0. kanred, Illinois 12-41 and P
1868, are highly resistant. if not i'm
mune. the department states. Numer-
Gus 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 infection very readily.
Investigations indicate the proba-
bility that the spores of the disease
are carried by the wind from field to
field There is a strong indication
that the growing of resistant
varieties is the least expensive and
most dependable method of prevent
ing loss, it is added.
Farmers within or near the infect
ed area are urged to consult with
their county agents or state expert
ment station and arrange to get sup
plies of these recommended varieties
for sowing in the fall.

This question was asked by clerk

No. the clerk had never seen the

All Of which was rather strange,
since they both had been working on the

every ore was interested in the head
Of the Treasury.
Perhaps the secret passage on the

Is
Ford Autos
a Year Each
BY AMATEuR ECONOMIST

Each man working in the Ford
plant turns out about IS cars a
year. One man furnishes all the
labor necessary TO make a com
plefe car In two weeks This
does not mean that each does a
little finishing and assembling.
etc. on the cars. II means that
on the average the labor OF each
man in that length OF time
builds completed car from the
raw materials.
But short time ago n light
pole was moved on one OF our
city streets about 20 feet. Dur.
ing the operation enough time
was expended to build between
two and three Ford cars.
Not long ago crew Of three
men made a certain water con.
nection on one Of our streets:
two of the men did all the work.
the third sat all day in an auto
and watched them. He was the
foreman. Just what Il was that
he supervised / could not see:
presume he pointed out tho
house number. Anyway he sat
there all day and never turned
a hand.
Z asked one Of the men dig.
ging in the ditch why the other
man didn't help them any: he
answered me that it wasn't hts
job.
Now let's imagine the city OF
Seattle building automobiles. One
man would bring out nut and
turn II over to another man to
put on and then sit down until
the car was complete. Another
would perform some other duty,
then he would retire for the day.
The officers OF the company
would spend a lot OF the time
talking politics.
In the Ford plant about 40 900
men turn out a million cars n
year. II these men were TO
work with the same efficiency
that we find among a lot Of the
city workers the figures would
be turned around; a million men
would build 10000 cars In tho
year.
No wonder the average man
stieks up for Ford, for he has
done more to raise the standard
OF living among the laboring
men Of this country than any
other man alive.
We poor men can't afford 20
own any goods that are not pro-
duced efficiently. Efficiency,
high standard OF living and
prosperity are nearly always
found together
