State Plant Patholigist Finds Some Of New Disease In Jasper County “Take All’ the Australian wheat disease has appeared in Jasper County. According to J. M. Gardner, Plant Patholigist, who at the suggestion of the writer came up to examine certain suspicious fields, the argest infected areas in Indiana are in a few fields near Rensselaer. Mr. Gardner stopped in Rensselaer on us return from a tour over the wheat i belt of the United States where he had been observing the disease. He states that it is impossible and very probable that other fields are infected and all farmers are asked to make an examination. Federal officials are asking a hurried survey to determine the extent of infection in the United States. Little is known in this country about the manner of dissemination or the methods of control or eradication. Farmers in some areas are plowing up infected fields, but the Department is not requiring this measure at the present time. After the general situation in this country is known, recommendation for control will be made.
