WHEAT DISEASE SHOWING UP IN HOOSIER STATE

"Take All" Discovered in Four Counties of Indiana How to Combat it.

Mrs. Louisa Morel Is Dead At Home Here

The botany department of the Purdue experiment station is keeping close watch on the "take all" wheat disease which has recently appeared in Indiana fields and has Issued a summary on the extent of the disease and instructions to farmers as to what they can do about it- The disease so far as found in Hoosier fields 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 high. 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 discolora

tion and soft rotting of leaf sheaths,

Aa 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 have a darker green color than the healthy ones. Many plants in diseased, areas are killed and the remaining diseased plants seldom

head.

In Indiana "take all" has been lo

cated in LaPorte, Porter, Jasper and Tippecanoe counties. In Tippecanoe and Jasper the trouble has so far been found in but a few fields. LaPorte and Porter report it rather mild-1 ly distributed. The following recommendations are made: 1. Fields 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 this can be done without danger to the standing grain. Otherwise the infected 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. S. 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 nor 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 legumes 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, soybeans and pasture grass can probably be grown. 7. It will aid greatly In combating the disease If farmers will report any suspected occurrence in their locality. Purdue will endeavor to send men to localities where the disease Is reported and any co-operation which farmers may be able to furnish them will greatly aid in this work.

Mrs. Louisa Morel, aged 74 years, widow of Eugene Morel, died last night at her home, 205 North Sixth street, of a complication of diseases. She was born In January 25,' 1845 at Nancy,

France, and has been a resident of this city for the past 50 years. , She

is survived by two sons, Louis and Adolph Morel, three daughters, Mrs.

Anna Clark, Mrs. Eugenia Steinbrink, and Mrs. Floyd Pohlman, seven grand

children and one great grandchild.

Another daughter, Mrs. Fred Bowing,

died a week ago.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Andrew's church, the Rev. F. A. Roell

in charge. Burial will be in St An
