Ind. Sept. 15 —Corn disease* appear to be unusually this year due to abnormal amount* of rain and frequent heavy dew*. IMplodta earj rot. Diplodla stalk-rot and smut I are the most noticeable, and will probably do an appreciable amount nt damage, according to' Dr. A. J. Vllatrup. Department of Agriculture specialist stationed tn the Purdue University botany department. Diplodia ear-rot wa* first observed two to three week* ago. be- | ginning first aa a *hauk-rot and I progressing cm into the ear. says the specialist Such ear* are characterised by bleached husks and rotting at the shank and base of the ear. Eventually the entire ear hrrosws a mass of white mold, a* 1 seen when husk* are removed Ear-rot ha* l<een found in both open-pollenated corn and hybrid* ranging in prevalence from les* than one per cent to more than ten per cent. Diplodla stalk-rot has made it* appearance somewhat earlier than usual this year T’.e affected plants • can easily be distinguished in the i field by the pale dead green ap-1 pearame of the leave* and the ■oft condition at the base of the ■talk. Ears on plant* affected early with stalk-rot fail to matui> and will result in chaffy corn.'Cer-| tain hybrid* appear to be somewhat more susceptible to this di*-1 ease than others. Dr. Uitetrup. slates. Sn u’ is more severe thi* year than in a normal season. Only : those gall* ••*» or below the w* will do any considerable amount of damage. It la retonimended that prevail tion* be taken during th* harvest of seed com* to throw out diaea* ••d and chatty ears.

FARM SUPPLIES ARE SUFFICIENT Huge Carry-Overs Seen For Most American Crops By Experts Lafayette, Ind.. Sep IS — <.. M Vogler, chairman of the Indiana Agricultural Conavrvatlou Conmil tee. with headquarters at Purdue University, today joined Sec- ' retary of Agriculture Wallace in dbgtng Indiana farmers to prow • ceed with their farm plana a* if I the war outbreak in Europe had I not occurred. i Comtmmting on a statement received from the Secretary. Vogler I : said. "American agriculture is in I . a much better position to meet the *h<ak of war thau it wa* 25 years ago. The very machinery which farmers have used to adjust production to decreased demand in peace-time can be used in wark itane !•• iti. rca*. production if and wheu that become* desirable. "There I* very little likelihood that any substantial increase in . production of the major crop* will be desirable, certainly not In the near future." the Secretary* ( statement continued "In any case, the need for increaae in supplies can be realised in time enough to make any necessary tm reuse* in acreage*." Secretary Wallace reminded American farmers that this year* wheat carryover 1 I* .-st (mated at 254 million bushel*, tn comparison to 115 million bushels average for the five year* from 1334 to 1338. The present large carryover of corn, he said, will probably make the total 1333-40 supply even larger than the 1338-33 supply. Past experience* have shown that wheat traditionally riare in price during war scare*, drops on peace news. Vogler stated. He pointed out that last January the Wheat Advisory Committee reported world supplies for the 133833 season including holdover stock* totaled about 5.115.U00.000 bushel* and that only 75.3 per cent could be absorbed during that period For the 1333-40 period* Vogler continued. the total supply wa* estimated at S.IZi.OOe.OOo bushel*. of whl< h only 73 pert ent is likely ic be < ousumed. "The Ever Normal Granary and the stabilisation of supplies of corn, wheat, and meat, which it make* possible serve also as a protection to the consumers against exorbitantly high prices. Vogler said.
