Mayo Clinic Doctor
Reports Finding Germ
OF InfantiIe Paralysis
Anti-Serum Developed;
Cuts Mortality 90 Pct,
Detects Disease EorIy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April "A new con-
cept Of the cause Of infantile pa
ralysis, which would entirely revise
its treatment, was reported yester-
day by DR.. E. c. Rosenow, Mayo
Foundation bacteriologist.
DR.. Rosenow said that after IS
years work, he had obtained proof
that the disease is caused by a
minute form of visible streptococ-
Gus germs and not by an invisible
virus, as science has long believed.
The way Is now clear, he said, to
apply an antiserum he has perfected
not only for treatment Of the disease
in advanced stages but for possible
skin tests" to detect the disease
before it can develop.
He declared he had been able to
produce typical symptoms Of the
disease in monkeys by injecting a
material derived directly from strep-
tococcus germs. ,..
The powerful electron microscope
had revealed in the injection mate
rial organisms that he definitely
identified as minute forms Of the
streptococcus. -
Proof that the cause Of infantile
paralysis was a bacterial factor and
not a virus, he said, rested in the
fact that an anti-serum he had de-
veloped from streptococcus germs
had been used with striking re-
suits" among 1000 human patients
over the years, reducing mortality
as much as 80 per cent in certain
groups.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 4.-Wheat prices
were about steady today, lowering
around the lowest level since last
December.
Despite frequent fractional de-
clines, the market showed good
rallying power, although milling de-
mand remained very slow. Another
favorable crop report was one fac
tor influencing selling.
Other grains also were about
steady, although dipping fractionally
with wheat at times. Oats and corn
showed some flrmness while soy
beans were up as much as a cent
due to buying attributed to pro-
ceSSorS.
The newest crop forecast was is
sued by C. M. Calvin, recognized ex-
pert on this subject. After a thor
ough survey of winter wheat pro-
ducing localities, Calvin said present
condition of wheat and the moisture
situation suggests production OF
approximately $50, ,000,0 900 bushels.
Mrs. E. H. Miller, another crop ex-
pert, forecast crop Of 646,000,0 900
bushels earlier in the week. Produc-
ton last year totaled 671 ,293 900
bushels on q much larger originally
planted acreage. Average produc-
ton for the last 10 years was $685.
ISL 900 bushels.
Calvin said his estimate was made
in anticipation of normal weather
during the remainder of the growing
season, but he placed condition of
the crop on April at 88 per cent Of
normal compared with 70 per cent a
year ago. This, he said, is the best
condition for the date since 1881
when the figure was 88.8 per cent
and the crop amounted to 825 1896 900
bushels, an all-time record winter
wheat harvest.
