No Increase Foreseen in
Bacterial Wilt of Corn

Little if any increase in bacterial
wilt of sweet corn (Stewart's Disease)
for 1885 is foreseen by DR.. Neil Stevens
Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. This is purely an expert
mental forecast, based upon studies OF
winter temperatures. DR.. Stevens be-
lieves that a mild winter, or several
mild winters are likely to be followed
by outbreaks of the disease In the
northeastern states. His conclusions
are based upon and supported by win
ter temperatures and occurrence of the
disease since 1900.
He found that when the average OF
temperature for December, January,
and February was 80 degrees or be-
low, the disease was not serious in the
following growing season, but when
the average was "a degrees or more,
heavy losses occurred.
The past winter was slightly warmer
In the northeastern states and slightly
colder in the north central states,
than the previous winter, but tempera-
ture did not average above the danger
mark, except where resistant varieties
already are grown for commercial use.

Horses, Mules Get
Sleeping Sickness
Animals Are Affected Dur
! ing Warm Weather; Ser
UNI Recommended.

Supplied by the United states Department
of Agriculture.-wNU Service.
During warm weather, horse owners
are advised to be on the lookout for
acknowledgements, an infectious dis
ease affecting the brain and spinal
cord of both horses and mules and
sometimes called sleeping sickness"
or "blind staggers." 1t has caused
serious losses in recent years to farm
ers in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware,
New Jersey and several midwestern
and western states, and may spread to
new areas.
Use of the commercially prepared
anti-encephalomyel serum Is war
ranted where the disease appears.
However, -the,immunity which this pro-
duces Is of short duration and treat
ment must be repeated at intervals.
The serum should be administered by
a competent veterinarian.
The first noticeable symptoms of en-
cephalomyelitis are disturbance of the
appetite, lack Of spirit, and weakness.
These are quickly followed by sleepi-
ness, grinding Of the teeth, walking In
a circle, or trying to push or plunge
through any obstacle with which the
animal comes in contact. Later the
animal may go down and although un-
able to rise may thrash violently with
the feet and head. After reaching this
stage the animal usually dies.
The department recommends that
affected animals be isolated and that
stables and other equipment be thor
oughly cleaned and disinfected with a
formalin or I've solution. Evidence In
dicates that mosquitoes or other blood
sucking insects carry the infection.
Where the disease exists horses, when
not in use, should be housed In clean
stables and protected from insects.
Investigations by the department
and other agencies during recent out
breaks have been aimed at the devel-
opment of an effective tissue vaccine.
Some progress has been made and
vaccine developed will be tested fur

Apparently many animals, but not all,

Good Pasture Paddocks

It is very important to have good
pasture paddocks near barns. Near
ness of pastures in which work horses
and mules are to be grazed at night Is
a first consideration, advises writer
in the Missouri Farmer. Two to four
small pastures, from three to six acres
in size should be fenced off near the
barns with smooth or woven wire.
There should be lanes running to them
so that the animals may be turned out
in any of the pastures without diff
ficulty or delay. Fresh water should
be provided in each of these pasture
paddocks, and they should be reserved
exclusively for the work stock at night
and on holidays. Where animals are
to be idle longer, they should be
thrown back into the larger pastures
on some other part of the farm, as 1t
is the purpose to conserve the small
pasture paddocks near the barn for
use of work animals.

tuberculosis on Decline

Two-thirds of all counties in the
United States now are virtually free
of bovine tuberculosis, according to the
Agricultural department. Since tuber-
culin testing began in 1917, infection
among cattle has been reduced to a
minimum in 2,O35 counties, or 66.S
per cent of all countries, the department
said. Eighteen states have been desig-
mated officially as modified accredited
areas, signifying that tuberculosis
among cattle has been reduced to less
than one-half Of one per cent.

Fighting Flies

Fly time is here, so one Of the Jobs
which should be finished is the hauling
of manure from the barnyard. Flies
lay their eggs in manure heaps and in
accumulations of filth containing mois-
ture. If there is not time to take the
manure to the field at frequent inter-
walls, it helps to cover the manure heap
with air Stacked lime or to soak it with
some coal tar disinfectant solution.
Also darken the stable by means of
gunny sacks hung over the windows
and over the upper part Of the door

THE FOUR RS

TOR the Nation as a whole the downward
trend in school finance has apparently
been checked" reports the Joint Commission
on the Emergency in Education of the Nation
al Education Association. After the perils that
have threatened free schools for five wears.
this is good news.
But our country would be foolish not to
profit from the lessons of those Furnishing
years.
To rebuild the damaged educational system
the N. E. A. suggests:
Restoration of full school services, badly
slashed in many impoverished communities;
Reorganization of units of school admin
istration-many small school districts should
be merged;
Reconstruction of the school program ito
meet the changing social needs of modern
life" reforming Anticipated courses and adding
vocational recreational, and adult training;
Revision of systems of finance making
schools less dependent upon the uncertain
property-tax revenues.
These new four RS of public education may
be harder for bureaucrats and politicians to
learn that the old three RS were for young
sters. Eventually they must be learned, how
ever, and now is a good time to begin.

g. WHICH Is ABSURD"

IN the days when we struggled through
L geometry, We all met that method of dis
proof which led up to final conclusion
which is absurd"
The kind of dictatorship which insists
that people shall have only such plays, books.
movies and newspapers as the rules believe
are best for them, always runs afoul of these
absurdities in wholesale lots
Two shining examples recently cropped
up. In Russia there was a public scandal
over the fact that radio station was caught
red-handed broadcasting - Negro Spirituals!
Somebody saw insidious counter-revolutionary
propaganda in the haunting melodies and
sweet chords that had wandered so far from
their home in the Old South
And in Germany movie film, which was
immensely popular in Germany in 1926, is
today barred as mot coinciding. with world
philosophy of the present day in Germany"
1t was Charlie Chaplins THE Gold Rush!"
If man is a political dictator, he inevi-
tably thinks he knows better than the rest of
us what we ought to see, and read and hear.
Which is absurd.

THE power of rumor is queer thing

that some one else carries still farther-and
the first thing you know, half the country

no amount of public denials can ever en-
tirely shake.
sample is the trouble which curators of
the National Library in Paris have been hav-
ing with credulous folk who insist on hav-
ing look at the mummy of Cleopatra
The library has never had such mummy
As far as any one knows. no mummy of the
famous Egyptian queen is in existence. For
so years the library curators have been issu-
ing public denials that there was such a
mummy
But it makes no difference. There is a
runner abroad in France that the library has
the mummy and people keep coming to see
it-and getting indignant when they can't
A rumor of that kind can be one of the
hardest growths known to human society.

TODAY'S HOLY GRAIL

LIVERY age has its wonders, it's legends
~ and its unattainable ideals: and this
particular era in history seems to have set up
Hollywood and its people for service in those
roles.
We read for instance, of a moon-struck
Brooklyn lad, the son of barber, who became
hopelessly smitten with longing for certain
lady of the films and brooded about it so
much that he finally bummed his way to Los
Angeles to talk to her.
Unfortunately, however, he couldn't get her
telephone number. He tried valantly; he
spent, in fact, his last few dollars in pay
station telephone booths, trying vainly to get
the lady on the phone.
AT last the police found him, broke and
hungry, still dreaming of getting just one word
from the lips of his adored one. Somehow
they persuaded him that it was a hopeless
quest and sent him back home
Youths of other ages sought their Grails
their fountains of youth, their lands of El
Dorado; ours try to telephone movie stars.
The action may be grotesquely different, but
the underlying urge is much the same-the
quest for an unattainable ideal.

HUNTING TROUBLE

HAVING refused to subscribe to the World
Il Il Court, the Senate now considers a pro-
posal to set itself up as an international
tribunal. Senator Borah proposes that the
Senate spend $4,000 inquiring into the
alleged denial of religious liberties in Mexico
Strangely enough. the Senate was not
exercised about religious liberties in our own
country in the days of the Ku-Klux Khan.
Nor is it now eager to interfere with the
denial of civil liberties in Louisiana, Cali
fornia and many other states
But If the Senate is in the mood to make
itself judge of domestic disputes in other
countries it may not stop with Mexico but go
on to investigate
Nazi oppression of Jews and Catholics in
Germany; Mussolini's tyranny in Italy; Eng
lands dictatorship in India; Serbian oppres-
sion of Croats and Slovenes in Yugoslavia;
opium traffic in China; Soviet liquidation of
Russian Kulaks; Japanese persecution of
Liberals; press censorship in a score of coun-
tries; and a thousand other violations of
freedom around the world.
OF course other nations may reciprocate
our kindly interest in the welfare of their
peoples.
Japan may investigate our treatment of
Orentals in Arizona and California; Hitler,
our alleged third degree of Bruno Haupt-
mann; Russia, our quaint police practice of
clubbing radicals Abyssinia, our numerous
o lynchings and the Scottsboro trials; Ireland,
OR Imprisonment of innocent Tom Mooney;
and Mexico our exploitation of cheap Mex
lean labor along the border.
Without questioning the Borah resolutions
assumption of American moral superiority and
the Senates omniscience, we venture to sug-
geSt that it will require rather large Army
and Navy to protect us once we begin to
