' This disease, known as sweet corn ' wilt, usually is most severe in the (earlier varieties of sweet corn, such ■as Golden Bantam and Crosby, ac(cording to Dr C. T. Gregory, plant i pathologist of Purdue. Later vari- | eties, such as Country Gentleman, i Evergreen and others usually are ’ not troubled by the disease. I The wilt often is accompanied by phe presence of insects of some sort. ’ the larvae of the 12 spotted cu|cumber beetle, or the southern corn | root worm among the most com- ; mon. The insects act as agencies in spreading the disease from one : plant to another. The diseased Plant will wilt and when the stalks are split open the sap tubes will . be found to be yelliw. filled with ! the bacteria which cause the disease. j There is nothing that can be done Jal this time of year to prevent the . spread of the disease, says Dr. 'Gregory. But there are several things that may be done to reduce , the injury in the next year's crop. | Seed corn should be selected only from healthy plants; the seed may | be treated with one of the organic mercury compounds with good re!suits; although seed treatment on poor seed will not be satisfactory. | And the indications are that fertil- ; izing with 150 to 200 pounds of a good complete fertilizer, applied in t the row or in the hill, will give the plants stimulus enough that they i will overcome the disease without showing any ill effects. Coccidiosis Disease Is Topic of Leaflet “Preventing ccccidiosis of chickens is far more effective than at- ' tempting to control it after an outI break has started," says L. P. Doyle !of the Veterinary Department of Purdue in a recent bulletin ot; ’ coccidiosis. The chief precautions to be taken in preventing the disease are: place the chickens in brooder iious |es which have been thoroughly ; cleaned by scrubbing with hot lye ; water; do net allow the chicks tc run with older birds or on ground ! that has been used by older birds ! within at least a year; avoid bring ing droppings ot older birds intc ! houses or yards where the young birds are kept; and protect the feet ' and water front contamination witt

droppings. As early as possible in an out-! break of the disease several sick birds should be submitted to a competent veterinarian for post mortem examination. Cocidiosis as a rule does not appear in chicks less than four weeks old. The disease is characterized by bloody droppi ings and the affected chicks quickly become pale, show weakness., ruffling of the feathers and drowsiness. The appetite may be good but is usually varied.
