ProBABKâ€"Y «9+ FUNGUS DISEASES DAMAGE TO CROPS Reduction of Yield One Ph of Effects of This Type of Trouble; Details CAUSE EXTENSIVE LOSS : ~The fact that smut and other funâ€" gus diseases. reduced our ~ leading grops by half a billion dollars and that the American chestnut is becomâ€" ing a thing of the past and will soon tdie out entirely unless some adequate Kmedy is soon â€" discovered, ‘was ht out recently by Professor Alâ€" fred H. Povah of the department of botany at Northwestern university, in an address. Regarding the blights which work most serious harm to our erops, Dr. Povah made the following statement : 7 3 "One of the losses which has not yet been abolished is the reduction in yield of our crops by fungous diseases. In 1922 for the five staples, wheat, corn, potatoes, cotton, nm1u this amounted to over five hu million dollars. This enormous loss could be materially reduced by a concerted efâ€" fort to combat these‘ diseases. Varied Syniptoms _ f "Plants manifest disease by varied symptoms. Among the more common: may be mentioned <rot, blight, wilt, spot, canker, scab, smut, rust, and mildew. In 1921, smut reduced the yield of grain in the United States over one hundred and sixty million bushels. One of the most common smuts is that wl:dch forms those ugly, ‘black, dusty, swollen growths on the lear of corn. Bunt or stinking smut on wheat causes considerable loss on account ofâ€"its very disagreeable odor. It takes but little of the smut to imâ€" part the disagreeable odor to the flour and render it worthless. "When a fungus meets a plant for the first time the plant offers no reâ€" sistance and so the fungus gains the upper hand. . fas "An example of this is furnished by the White Pine Blister Rust, which like the wheat rust, requires two difâ€" ferent hosts. It can attack the pine only after growingâ€"on either currant or gooseberry. This disease has been known in Europe for sixtyâ€"five years but was first reported in the United States in 1906 at Geneva, N. Y., where it occurred on some currants. With alarming rapidity the disease spread so that three years after its discovery it was found in Maine, New Hampâ€" shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Conâ€" necticut, and Pennsylvania. The next year Ohio and Indiana were added and by 1917 Rhode Island, Virginia, Michâ€" igan, <Wisconsin, New ~Jersey, and Minnesota as well as Ontario, Canada. Now the disease is known to occur in the state of Washington and in Britâ€" ish Columbia. The only way in which the db?h:o can be controlled is to deâ€" stroy ecurrant and â€"gooseberry bushes both wild and cultivated.

In this area over twentyâ€"two miillion berry bushes have been destroyed. At present it looks as though we could never exâ€" terminate the fungus in the United States but with serious effort we can keep it under control." > Chestnut Doomed As for"the popular chestnut, there does not at present seem. to be much hope of saving it, the speaker assertâ€" ed.: On this topic, he said, in part: "One of the most tragis stories is that of the slaughter of the American chestnut by an imported disease callâ€" ed Chestnut Blight, which was first noticed in the New York Zoological park in the summer of 1904. From the time of its discovery it has spread: with amazing rapidity and complete destruction of the Chestnut. In a year 98 per cent of all <the chestnut trees in the parks of the Bronx were inâ€" fected. It was also noticed in New Jersey in that year. By 1908 â€"the disease was reported from : Massaâ€" chusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennâ€" svlvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. The disease was kept «spreading so that now it extends from Maine to Georgia and from Massaâ€" chusetts to Ontario. It is simply a question of time until the disease will be found throughout the entire range of the American chestnut. Enters Through Wound "The fungus gains entrance to the tree through a wound and grows in the soft tissues of the bark and sap wood. The tissue of the chestnut is killed by a poison secreted by the fungus and finally a canker is formed. Whenâ€" the fungus | grows. entirely around a limb, the part above withers and dies. Thus the fungus acts in a way somewhat similar to man when he girdles a tree by cutting away the bark in a circle about the tree. In Pennsylvania ~one can travel for miles through woods where . every chestnut tree is killed, standing a gaunt spectre of* its former beauty.

GAS OF CLASS proved hopeless as the fungus proâ€" duces two kinds of spores in mâ€" ous numbers which are scattered, by wind, rain, animals, and birds, er reason why the fungus is so hard to check is the fact that it grows mor rapidly on dead bark than on trees; moreover, it can endure cold and draught. Our only: hope is that some resistant chestnut trees may be found and thus prevent the mhnh- ation of the American chestnut." ..__ WANTED TO BE CERTA:NE, Weary Husband ; "I took that samâ€" ple of ribbon you gave me into 1;ry "shop and couldn‘t match it." % | Hubby: "The pager says a wo was crushed to death in a at a sale yesterday !"â€" _ 4+: { Witey: "Does it say what the barâ€" gains were?" j ce o New Notite: A small boy has been arrested for stealing a MHJOB#.
