Tins tliscuso occurs in moro or less abundance wherever corn is grown, '.hnd attacks all varieties so far ns ;known.

In the sumo locality the porcontngo pf loss will vary with the season, duo im part to woathor conditions, and in 'the sauia season will vary on differ cut farms in tho samo locality, duo to different methods of fertilization, tTculturo and farm sanitation. Attacks Htallcs. jk Copi smut attacks all parts of the Scorn plant above ground. Pustules Vor boils may bo found on tho stall:, blades, cars or tassels. When tho ,,cars aro affected tho greatest loss is experienced. Ilowovor, if a corn plant is badly affected with smut in '-.'other parts, wlillo not affecting the Mom' directly, it may so reduco the 'vitality of tho plants that cither tho ear does not form at all, or is poorly dovoloned. and. adds to tho sum of "nubbiijs," In sections whoro corn is raised for silage, plants attacked by smut arc froquontly much roduced in size, and if many plants nro nffoctcd thc yield of fodder is mntoriolly re T duccd.

Infection. Infection by corn smut. Tt wns formerly bcliovod that corn smul. was dissominntod through tho seed b.v tho spores clinging to tho outside of (ho koriiols, and that infection tool; placo in tho soodling. Tt was known that !" tho smut of oats nnd somo others 5'wnro (lisHoiuliiati'd by the sporox ' olingiug to the seed, nnd it was thought that nearly all smuts wore disseminated in this way. Tlnrly ox 'perhueut station literature contains many records of investigation op treating norn soed boforo plmitiii, nil, howovor, without favorablo re sults. It is probable that occasionally In- footion mny occur foni spores car ried on tho surface of nood corn, hut ns infection may occur at any time Jrnm spores scattered by tho wind or from infected soil and manure, it is of no use to treat (ho seed in sec tions whoro corn smut is abundant. Infection takes piano at any point on tho com plant when tho tissue was young and tondor. Tho fungus does not spread from tho point of infoc Hon to nny oxtont, but remains in tho neighboring tissue and produces 'b local smut pustule. Primary infec tion is believed to take place follow ing ho germination of spores which Ji'avo remained in tho ground from pustules ptrown from previous crops, or -which hnvo been spread in manure contaminated with corn fodder con- , tBiiiihjt-smut pustules. Treatment. Treatment for corn smut. From what lias already boon said about tlio infection, it Is seen that soed .'treatment b of doubtful value for .'.reducing the prevalence of this dia Mtse, Spraying hi boon tested with fa Yornbju results, but tho nature of tho erop rond'ors such treatment imprac ticable.

Ah a result ,o,f the Tong War on be tween the On Ying Tong and the wealthy Yce family, which Marled onrly in November, when two mem bors of tho Yce family were killed, three members of tho On Yinks lio dead and one member of tho Yee family is in jnil suspected of the murder. ' Last night Owynpg Kiim, a cousin of the Chinese vice-consul, Owyan Kay, was shot down at Jackson street and Sullivan alloy, in the Clu neso fiiartcr of this city. Tho slaypr disappeared in' n dark cellarway. Later tho police arrested Yce Kum, who wns found in bed fully dressed. It is alleged that ho was one of tho three men who shot down Owynng Kum.

He was found dead on tho struct bv liis followers at midnight, who wore en route to his homo to guard him from tho gunmen of tho Yces. Tho three murders last night bring tho total number of donths to five, threo of them being On Yinks nnd two mombors of tho Yeo fnmily. Tho war was started by the On Yinks Novombor 2, when they shot down tho Yoos, following tho Yces refusing to pay an indemnity of .fl.'tOO for tho alleged abduction of Ho One, a Chinese slave girl, by a Yoo.

Thore is little likelihood of tho war ending now until tho On Yinlls have ovonod tho score by killing n'nothor Yeo. MRS. 0SB0URNE SAYS MRS. STEVENSON ADE TROUBLE (United I'reHH I.oohi-iI Wire.) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. II. In a statomont publtBliod today, Mrs. Lloyd OBboiirno doclnred that nor niotlior-ln-liuv, Mrs. llobort Louis StoveiiBon, widow of tho noted au thor, Is responsible for tho trouble existing between hor and Osbourno, which resulted In their soparntlon and tho subsequent litigation brought by Mrs. Oaboumo In nn otfort to com pel him to contribute toward tho lnatntonunco ot hts wlfo anil two children.

Since moro or less corn smut pus tulnB fnll to tho ground in tho fiold, H is evident that if corn is grown on tho samo land for several years in succession, smut will tend to in orunso. Thoroforo, rotation ot crops should bo practiced, Corn smut is frequently very seri ous on sweet corn in kitchen gnidons. This, is because corn is grown con tinuously on or noar tho sumo place. Tho smut boils drop to tho ground or the fodder is loft standing over winter or la rotnrnud in mnnurc. In this way tho ground is kept contam inated with tho spores of the fungus. It should bo practical and profitable for tho private or market gardener io remove and burn the smut pus tules as soon ns thoy nppour. For tho largo grower such a oouro might bo impractical, but ho should neo that no manuro is used on corn laud that has been oontnmiimivjl with dlsoased oorn fodder, and should praotioo rotutiou.
