Wilt Harms Dent,
Also Sweet Corn
Resistant Varieties Needed
to Combat Disease That
Is Now Spreading.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment OF Agriculture. l-WNU Service.
Bacteria wilt of corn, or Stewards
disease, formerly believed harmful
only to sweet corn, affects field dent
corn. too, In much of the corn belt
and may reduce the yield as much
as 25 per cent.
Corn breeding seems to offer the
best defense against bacterial wilt.
The chief method of preventing
losses Is to plant resistant varieties.
The breeding of resistant varieties
is already under way and the de-
partment has several strains which
show resistance.
The bacterial wilt attacked sweet
corn more severely last year thar
1t had in recent years, but for the
last two years the disease has been
increasing in fields Of dent corn.
The disease is most prevalent on
dent corn in Illinois, Ohio and In
diana, but it occurs throughout the
corn belt.
Corn disease specialists have
known that the disease could occur
in field corn, but they believed ii
comparatively harmless to dent corn.
Now a survey of &c Illinois fields by
several of the department workers
shows that the wilt definitely In.
jures dent corn in several re
spects. The chief damage comes
from the wilt spotting the leaves and
thus cutting down the area of
healthy leaf surface. This results
in: Weakening the plant so that 1t
is more easily attacked by stalk
rots; weakening the plant, making it
less resistant to cold weakening the
stalks, which break more easily and
frequently; lowering the yield; low
ering the quality.
Despite intensive study, bacterial
wilt remains a stubborn corn dis
ease problem regarding many phases
of which the scientists have only
limited knowledge.

Feed Crops Set Record;
Plenty for Farm Stock

Farm animals will not go hungry
this year since the combined world
crop OF corn. oats and barley
reached record figures In 1882, ex-
ceeding the 1881 production by near
ly 13 per cent. according to a re-
view OF the situation by the bureau
OF agricultural economics, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The bureau reports that the
movement OF the 1882 feed grain
crops from exporting countries this
season has been considerably less
than the movement of the 1881 crops,
with corn shipments rejecting a
relatively sharper reduction than
the movement of barley or oats.
Smaller Argentine supplies, In
creased consumption of corn as food
In Rumania due TO a very small
wheat crop, and the very low level
OF prices in exporting regions are
important factors reducing corn ex-
ports. Several importing countries
have also advanced import duties on
corn.
"Available information on feed
grain crops for harvest in 1898 in
dicates only slight reduction in
the Argentine corn acreage planted
but a very heavy abandonment and
damage to the crop on account of
Iocusts and drought; the new crop
In the Union of South Africa was
not planted under particularly IA
vOrable conditions; Russia reports

Call Former Orphanage Boy
Son of Slain Prince.

Providence, Mo.-This town OF a
half dozen families may, If the re-
public of Austria ever returns to a
monarchial form of government, be-
come a point of worldwide interest.
For here in an almost abandoned
village on the banks of the Missouri
river lives a man who, it is believed,
may be a grandson of the late En-
peror Franz Josef of Austia and
Alexander ii, one time cZar of Rus
sia.
Countess Marie Louise Larish, a
favorite niece of the late Empress
Elizabeth and Emperor Franz Josef,
claims Cleveland is the true heir
to the throne.
Cleveland's story-as much of 1t
as he will reveals that he was
born in Hot Springs, Ark, or Hot
Springs, Va, in June, 1889. From
there he was taken to st. Louis and
placed in an orphanage. where later
he prevailed upon a nun to reveal
the circumstances of his entrance
into the place.
Historians have recorded that
Emperor Franz Josef and Empress
Elizabeth had one child, Rudolf, who
later in life fell in love with the
youngest daughter of the cZar OF
Russia. Alexander ii. Due to the
fact that the young princess was
morganatic daughter, the marriage
of Rudolf and the girl was forbid
den by both families.
Prince Rudolf finally married
Princess Stephanie, daughter of
Leopold II of Belgium. Despite his
marriage to Princess Stephanie, Ru
dolf continued to see the Russian
princess. Upon learning that she
was to bear him a child he proposed
to divorce his wife and marry the
girl. The czar, hearing of Rudolf's
intentions. violently opposed the di-
vorce.
Later Rudolf developed passion
for the beautiful Baroness Marie

Farmers Miss Chance

With American farmers scouting
around In an effort to locate cash
crop to which they can turn without
fear of harmful competitive sur
pluses. a golden opportunity has
been going by the boards. The De
partment of Agriculture reports that
nearly 100000 pounds of red clover
seed are imported annually into the
United States because growers in
this country have failed to meet the
demand for this seed.
The department experts believe
that the intermountain region would
find such a crop highly desirable.
not only because ii would fill need
of farmers In other parts of the
country, but it also would be valu-
able in restoring and improving the

HIGH POSTAL RATES
CUT FLOW OF MAIL

million dollars more of revenue are
being received now than would
have been collected under the old
rate.
Predicted Higher Revenue.
When congress was considering
last summer the rate, which it later
voted, former Postmaster General
Brown predicted that an increase Of
l cent in the tirst-class postal rate,
if applied to letters for delivery
outside the post office of origin,
would raised substantially $l00,000.-
600, and that $25,000,000 or $30.00O,-
600 more could be raised by increaS-
ing the rate on letters for delivery
at the post Office where they origi-
nate.
The argument of the opponents of
the present rates is that such re-
suit Is not being realized. and that
on the other hand there has been
tremendous decrease In the number
of pieces of mail carrying first-class
postage.
The Post Office department has
sought to back up its position by a
comparison of revenues at twenty
principal Offices from letters and
firsf-class packages in the week of
September 1925. the latest for which
the detailed figures are available,
and the comparable revenues for
the week Of June 2-26. the last week
during which the 2-cent stamp was
used. The figures show that the
revenue from this source from the
twenty cities under the 3-cent rate
was 32.55 per cent greater. despite
a shrinkage of 1853 per cent in the
postage ounces of letter mail as be-
tween the periods compared.
Shift to Third Class.
That there was considerable
shift to third-class mail was shown
by the fact that for the twenty prin-
cipaI cities in the week of June 20
26 the revenue was S428,97S as COM
pared with $5S0,912 in the week of
September 1925, an increase OF
S151 .934 or 3542 per cent.
The Post Office department has
computed on the basis of all postal
revenues from fifty selected cities
for the first six months of the cur
rent fiscal year that the increases in
first and second-class postal rates
have resulted in additional revenue
of S24,700,000.

Counterfeiters Spur Activi-
ties in Depression.

Washington.-Depression and un-
employment have brought an In
crease in counterfeiting and led to
greater vigilance on the lart of the
United States secret service. De-
scriptive warning circulars Of sew
enteen examples of counterfeit notes
have been broadcast during the last
fiscal year and about seventy un-
identified productions of varying
types and denominations have been
circulated In different sections of the
country for short periods.
'In all my experience l have never
known a time when counterfeiting
was so prevalent" said Chief w. II.
Moran recently. The experience he
referred to covers the last half Gen.
tury.
Idleness and hunger lead to des-
peration, and desperation has turned
more than one honest man into a
counterfeiter, according to Chief
Moran, who observed that counter
feiting invariably increases In hard
times.
The only real measure of the vol
ume of counterfeiting now going on
may be found In statistics relative
TO arrests and to the seizures of
spurious money.
In the year ended June so. 1882.
counterfeit notes aggregating $780,
53S and altered notes aggregating
$24,215 were seized by government
operatives of the service, and count
erfeit coins totallng $49,773 were
confiscated. About 1900 persons
were arrested charged with counter
feiting and passing counterfeit
notes.

during the year were largely used
