“MOURNING WEEK” WRINGS FEW TEARS FROM GERMANY

The week of mourning in Germany decreed by the government because of the terms of the peace treaty, appears to have met with little success. The German musicians, in particular seem to Joe resentful over the order as a measure which prevented them from earning their daily bread while the Taeglische Rundschau and Berlin Tageblatt adm\t that the mourning was far from being completely effective. .Reports are that nearly all the music halls remained open and that in some places the people danced all night. One ‘ bit of pungent comment comes from the Volksblatt of Halle, which says: ’ “It is not now, but on Aug- 1, 1914. that Gfen. Mourning should have been ordered in Germany.

HOW TO COMBAT "TAKE-ALL” NEW WHEAT DISEASE

Lafayette, Ind., May 14, 1919. Dear Sir: The Botany department of the Experiment station has been making a careful investigation of the “takeall” wheat disease which recently made its appearance in this state. Dr. E. R. Mains and Dr. M. W. Gardner have spent much time examining infected fields and have been in daily touch with county agents and interested farmers in all parts of the state. They have also attended both the recent conferences of pathologists of the neighboring states and the federal department where all known facts about the disease were brought together for analysis and discussion. You will be interested in the following brief summary of their report made in the light of our present knowledge of the disease. Field Appearance of “Take-All.” In the field the disease so far as found up to this time appears in more or less circular patches varying in size from 5 to 50 feet in diameter. These are conspicuous because of the marked stunting of the plants which are often only a few inches high when healthy plants are knee deep. In heavily infected fields most of the plants are stunted or dead, with only an occasional normal plant, giving the field a very ragged appearance, The diseased plants are characterized by a dark brown discoloration and soft rotting of the leaf sheaths. As the disease progresses this rotting penetrates to the stem and finally causes the latter to rot off at the crown. Such plants tend to send out more shoots. This results in a thick rosette of short shoots. The diseased plants usually also have a darker green color than the healthy ones. Many plants in diseased areas are killed and the remaining diseased 'plants seldom head. Where It I». Uu to date the disease has been found in Illinois and Indiana. . In Illinois about 700 acres of wheat out of 4000 acres which had been surveyed around Granite City have the disease. The disease is so severe in that locality that many fields are wiped out by it. In Indiana “takeall” has been located in Laporte, Porter, Jasper and Tippecanoe counties. In Tippecanoe and Jasper counties the trouble has so far been found in but a few fields. Laporte and Porter counties report it rather mildly distributed. What To Do About It. From data at hand at the present time concerning this disease, the following recommendations are made: 1. Fields which are heavily or generally infected should be plowed up at once and planted to corn or soy beans.

2. Where the disease is restricted to a few small spots in the field these should be cut over a week or ten days before harvest with a scythe and after the cut wheat is dry burn over the area, if his can be done without, danger to the standing grain. Otherwise the infested areas and the wheat for a rod or more surrounding should be left uncut at harvest and burned over as soon as possible afterward. Do not allow stock in the field until this is done. 3. Since the straw from infected fields is a good carrier of the disease, such straw should not be spread or allowed to reach the manure heap. 4. The grain from infected fields should not be used for seed or so disposed of that it may become mixed with other wheat for seed purposes. 5. All fields having the disease should be put into grass, alfalfa or other legums as soon as possible and left for about four years. 6. Do not plant wheat, rye, barley or oats upon infected soil. Corn, alfalfa, clover, soy beans and pasture grass can probably be grown. 7. It will aid greatly in combatting this disease if you will report any suspected occurrence in your locality We will endeavor to send men to localities where the disease is reported and any cooperation which you may be able to furnish them will greatly aid in this work. For The Future.

Arrangements are being made to determine as rapidly and as thoroughly as possible the extent of the distribution and the severity of this disease in Indiana. Intensive studies are being pushed to obtain all possible information about this new and dangerous trouble in the shortest possible time. The foregoing recommendations represent the result of the study already made and the best judgment as to the immediate steps to take. . As more information may be developed supplementing or modifying these we will endeavor to keep you fully informed. , Your very truly, C. G. WOODBURY, Director.

WILD MAN FROM TSE WEST WILL FURNISH PLENTY OF THRILLS IN BIG HOOSIER RACE

Wilbur De Alene, dubbed the wild man from the West by racing drivers, is expected to display his usual brand of sensationalism in the fndianapolis 500-mile Liberty Sweepstakes on* the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 31st. When De Alene first broke into the racing game, on the dirt tracks, he made a specialty of fence busting, due to his too great anxiety to show the way to the rest, of the field, combined with his inexperience. However, a Divine Providence kept him from harm until he had mastered his profession, and today, though he

QUARTET OF FRENCH CHAMPIONS LOOM UP AS FAVORITES IN INDIANAPOLIS 500-MILE RACE

Easily the moat formidable racing aggregation that Europe has ever sent to America to compete for international speed honors, the Ballot team, composed of Rene Thomas, Albert Guyot, Jules Bablot and Louis Wagner, will go to the post as favorites in the Indianapolis 500-mile Liberty Sweepstakes on the Indianapolis speedway, May 31st. Each member of the team is a star of highest rank, and the speed crea, tions they will drive have been prepared especially for the Indianapolis

THREE NATIONS REPRESENTED ON ENGLISH SUNBEAM TEAM IN BIG INDIANAPOLIS RACE

With the exception of the United States, every member of the Big Four among the allied nations In the recent world war is represented on the English Sunbeam team that will try to lift championship honors in the international 500-mlle Liberty Sweepstakes on the Indianapolis motor speedway, May 31st. Jean Chassagne, star driver of the British combination, and holder of the world’s hour record until it was recently wrested from him by Ralph De Palma, is a Frenchman, having served his government as an inspector of aviation motors throughout the late world conflict, - z j Dario Rests, winper of the 191« Indianapolis race and victor in the A.

De Alene will compete in the big 500-mile event as a member of the Duesenberg team that is expected to prove one of America’s mainstays in the contest. He has been quite successful during the last few fears, finishing well up among the winners in almost every race in which he has been entered, and ranking sixth in the 1916 A. A. A. driver’s championship, being outranked only by Resta, Aitken, Rickenbacher, De Palma and Earl Cooper.

event, having been secretly built in a private Paris factory since the armistice was signed. . > _ Rene Thomas is famous on this side of the big puddle as winner of the Indianapolis 509-mile race in 1914, the greatest international event held in this country to date. Guyot finished third in this contest, and won a fourth the year before. Bablot has a string of European victories to his credit as long as his arm, and Wagner won the 1906 Vanderbilt on Long Island and the 1908 Grand Prize at Savannah. S/ . * A,

same year, is an Italian, but made his home the greater part of hi* life in England and recently in the .United States. At the wheel of the second Sunbeam in the Indianapolis contest, he is considered even more formidable than Chassagne, due to his greater experience on the Hoosier track. ‘ J _ Louis Coatalen, relief driver of the Sunbeam team, is an Englishman of international fame, having designed the celebrated Sunbeam aviation motor that was the mainstay of British air supremacy during the late war. Coatalen has never driven before in professional competition, but holds a record of more than forty victories in amateur races on the famous speedway at Brookteods, England. ■ *
