Olympic Stadium, Colombes. France
July 10. (By the A. P.)-Despite the
spectacular double victory of Fin
lands great runner, Paavo Nurmi,
who won the 1900 and 5000 meter
runs in the Olympic record time, the
United States increased its point
lead over the little Scandinavian ma
tion on the fifth day of the Olympic
competition by winning both the pole
vault and hammer throw.
Nurmi and Ritola outclassed the
field just as the former had spread
eagled the opposition earlier in the
afternoon in the 1900 meters. Edwin
Yde of Sweden set the pace for five
laps, but cracked as first Nurmi and
then Ritola took turns in setting a
dizzy clip.
Fifteen hundred meters from the
finish he apeared to have shaken
off Ritola but Willie Ritola put all
he had in the finish, pacing stride
for stride to the tape but lacking
just fraction of the speed neces-
sary,to overtake the winner.
America had some consolation when
John Romig, former intercollegiate
cross-country champion, beat out
Sipila of Finland for Fourth place.
Romig ran we'll but like the rest
of the field was not in the same
class as Nurmi and Ritola.
Olympic Stadium, Colombes, France
July 10. (By the A. P.)-Pabbo Nur-
mi, the Finnish whirlwind, started
off one of the greatest bids for
Olympic fame any athlete ever at
tempted in single afternoon today
by running away with the 1,5OO meter
race in the new Olympic record time
of minutes, SO 3-5 seconds. The
other task Nurmi set for himself
was winning the final in the 1000
meters.
Taking the lead in the 1900 meters
before the first 200 meters were COW
cred, Nurmi set his own pace all che
way, breaking the heart of the Amer
lean star, Ray Watson, the A. A. U.
half mile champion, who cracked af-
ter running on the heals of the
Finnish ace for 1900 meters.
The point score of the leaders af-
ter the 1900 meter run was United
States 1873; Finland 80.
The Swiss Star, Scharer, the dark
horse of the race, came from behind
and beat out Stallard, the Britisher,
for second place by a few feet. 20
meters behind Nurmi. Stallard, ex-
hausted by his efforts, collapsed after
crossing the line and it was several
minutes before he was revived.
Lowe, the British star, and two
Americans, Ray B. Buker, Illinois A.
c. and Lloyd Hahn, Boston A. A..
also closed with rush that carried
them past the fast-tiring Watson and
they finished ~ that order for the
remaining places.
Nurmi, timing his own race with
his famous stop watch simply won
as he pleased, proving himself with
out peer at this, distance.

Fargo, N. D., July 10.-Black stem
rust of spring wheat has not yet
been observed in North Dakota des-
pite the fact that the crop is a
week farther along than when the
first reports Of rust we're received
year ago. This is the report of
authorities at the North Dakota Ag-
ricultural college, who are optimis-
tic regarding prospects for light
rust year.
The diseases was found on winter
wheat July'8 by l.. r. Waldron, plant
breeder at the agricultural college,
but a careful search at that time
and during the present week has
failed to reveal any signs of infec-
tion on spring wheat. Little i'm
portance is attached to the appear
ance of rust on winter wheat, as the
acreage of this crop in the state is
very small, and rust has always been
minor damage factor for winter
wheat in this locality, according to
the authorities.
A record for late initial appear
ance of black stem rust in North
Dakota has been set this year, ac-
cording to Wanda Weniger. plant
pathologist of the North Dakota
Experiment station, who has records
for the past five years showing that
hitherto the disease has always
made its appearance on spring wheat
some time in June.
When First Observed
"Black stem rust was first OBJ
served on spring wheat June 20, last
year." Miss Weniger declares. "In
1922 the disease was observed June
26, 1921, June 13, 1920. June % and
1919, June 6. We have no records
available prior to 1919. Earliness
of the initial appearance of rust,
coupled with favorable weather for
its development, are the most i'm
p6rtant factors determining the
amount of damage caused to the
spring wheat crop.
"The fact that the rust has not
yet made it's appearance at this
time, July 8, which is nine days
later than the appearance last year,
gives an optimistic outlook to the
prospect for little damage from rust.
OF course the crop is later this
year, but it is not as late as the
rust"
Last year the black stem rust
made its appearance when the wheat
was in the boot stage. according to
Miss Weniger. while this year varie-
ties of wheat which have been head.
ed out for week on the experiment
al plots at the college do not show
the disease.
Another Disease
Another disease, leaf rust of
wheat, is often confused with the
black stem rust, Miss Weniger de-
clares. "Leaf rust is making its
appearance on wheat" she says, "but
this is an entirely different disease
and in previous years has caused
comparatively little damage The
pustules or LESSONS produced by the
leaf rust are round or oval in shape
and are orange-red in color. The first
pustules of the black stem rust are
about one-eighth of an inch long and
scarcely wider than The thickness
Of fingernail. First infections Of
both diseases appear on the leaves
of the wheat plant"
No rust infections have been
found on barberry plants in North
Dakota this year, according to
George C. Mayoue, state leader in
barberry eradication. "Only barberry
sprouts have been found SO far this
year by the members Of the field
crew." Mr.. Mayoue reports, "and
