Big Boom
A Puzzler

A mysterious, untraceable ex-
plosion which shook Columbus
shortly before 2 pm. tEST)
Monday left both experts and
ordinary folk doing some guessing
today.
Reports of a similar blast, de-
scribed as a big boom" and "an
awful racket" in Cincinnati. lot
miles to the southwest, clouded
the picture. That explosion, also
felt across the Ohio River in
Kentucky, came at about the
same time as the Columbus blast.
No one offered an alright ex-
planation of the cause of the
blasts. Some people thought they
knew the answer, diving. super
sonic jet plane would make such
a noise, they said. In April, 1850,
the Air Force said It's jets were
to blame for explosions heard
ABOUT Dayton.
Jet pilots flying at high speeds
are likely to cause thunderclap
sounds when they nose their
planes out of dives.
A year ago, many Daytonians
reported feeling a breeze, as if
from an electric fan. at the same
time they heard the blasts. Some
Columbus men said they felt a
wind press their trousers to their
legs after the explosion, Monday.
A service station attendant said
the wind nearly blew him off his
chair. Two workmen were Knock
ed off a platform and one man
said he thought his car had blown
a tire.
However, there apparently was
no jet diving at least none
came from Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base in Dayton. A spokes-
man there said pilots have been
instructed to avoid high speed
dives near occupied areas.
Police and fire department
switchboards in Columbus, Gin
cinnati, and the Kentucky towns
of Ludlow and Bromley were
swamped with calls from anxious
residents. The answer they gave
inquirers apparently held true
today:
No one knows for sure what
caused the noise.

Smut Infection
Severe In Wheat

Loose smut infection in the 1851
wheat crop in Ohio is more severe
than it has been during the past
20 years, according to c. A. Lamb,
Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station agronomist. The situation
is serious since all varieties being
grown to any extent in the state
are susceptible.
Wheat varieties commonly
grown in Ohio also were devel-
oped in the state. They never
were observed to be susceptible
to loose smut during the course
of the breeding program.
The sudden increase in the
widespread occurrence of smut,
therefore, suggests the precence of
new race that did not exist
when present varieties were being
developed says r. s. Davidson,
Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station plant pathologist. II A new
race may have arisen in Ohio,
or more probably, such a race
may have been introduced from
neighboring states. In either case,
smut is present. Ohio farmers are
faced with the problem of OBJ
tanning smut-free seed wheat for
the coming year.
Loose smut can be controlled
by hot water treatment or by
growing resistant varieties. David
son says the hot water treatment
however Is too exacting for gen.
eral use by the farmer. 1t re-
quires equipment not commonly
available. Drying the grain after
treatment involves many prob
lens. Hot water treatment, there
fore, is not recommended to the
individual grower.
Only practical solution for the
immediate future is selection and
use of seed with less than one
percent of smutted heads in this
years crop. IF this is done in
lection in the 1852 crop may be
kept low enough that it will not
seriously reduce yields.
Although smut is in all main var
ieties growing In Ohio now, But
Ter carrier the lowest percentage
of infection. This probably is due
to escape rather than to disease
resistance. Growers can not ex-
pect Butler to continue free of
smut, Lamb warned.
The situation has arisen so
suddenly that scientists can not
tell whether a new race has ap-
peared. They do not know how
varieties will behave.
They advise farmers to use seed
from fields with the least infec-
ton and to obtain seed from hot
water-treated stocks when 1t is
available.
