The occurence and spread of the bulb and stem infesting nematode or eelworm tiylenchys dipsaci), which has recent ly found producing a serious disease of clover in the Stnte of Oregon, should receive general attention, es pecially in the Northwest. Since it was discovered in hyrcinth bulbs at Bellingham in 1913, it has been obser ved each sucessive year causing dam age to strawberries, onions, or clover in other localities of the Pacific Northwest. Although the nematode has been authentically reported in this country only on hyacinths, onions, narcissus, clover, strawberries, and rye, yet it is known to attack in Europe many dif ferent species of plants. Some of the more important crop plants so attack ed, in addition.to those mentioned are: Bailey, oats, wheat, alfalfa, turnip, kidney bean, broad bean, potato; flax pen, and lupine. It causes the great est damage perhaps to the hyacinth and other bulbous crops of Holland. It is particularly destructive to cer tain plants in Australia end has de stroyed extensive areas of alfalfa in Southern Africa. Many weeds and plants of less eco nomic importance have also been found to be attacked in foreign coun tries. Some of these nre; Forget-me-not, phlox, plantain, spear grass, bind weed, primrose, buttercup, sow thistle penny cress, garlic, daisy, and tea sel. Unfortunately, it has been recently introduced into the United States and appears well established in some lo calities of the Pacific Northwest where conditions seem favorable for its reproduction and spread. Every ef fort should be made not only to pre vent its further introduction into this country but also to prevent its spread ing from those localities already in fected. On the aboveground parts of plants, the nematode in general produces characteristic distortions and usual ly yellow to brown longitudinal dis colorations which clearly indicate the presence of the parasite. However, somewhat different effects are induc ed on different groups of its hosts. In hyacinths, onions, and other bulbous crops, affected leaves are not notice ably distorted or swollen, but become decidedly yeltow in longitudinal streaks, finally Ailt, cr.d die. In more woody plants, such as rye, cats, clov er and alfalfa, diseased leaves find stems are distorted, thickened, and yellow and the whole plant becomes dwarfed. When infested plants are not killed by the parasite they sel dom reach maturity and usually fail t- produce fruit. Although primarily a pest of the aerial portions of plants, the nema tode occurs in tubers and bulbs and has been reported on one plant, the hop, as the cause of a root disease. In onions hyacinths the nematode mi grates at tho end of the growing sea son from the leaves to the bulb so that the entire scales become invaded and discolored. Such bulbs, if not cut in cross sections, present one or moro characteristic rings, thus givinff i4m to the commo.i namo of "tho ring dis ease" when tho malady occurs in hya cinths. Description If a small piece of leaf of other in fested tissue be carefully tern to piec es by means of pins or needles in a dish containing a few drops of clean water, many of the white, thread-like adult eelworms about one-fiftieth of an inch long can be seem with the naked eye actively moving about in the liquid. Life Cycle Of The Organism Each female may produce a largo number of eggs, which,' if conditions be favorable, hatch directly into worm-shaped larvae. The latter reach maturity in about four weeks, so that several generations can be produced during a growing season. Larvae, or any of the subsequent developmental stages of the nematode, are capable under suitable conditions of penetrat ing and moving within certain tissues of its host plants and thereby produc ing the various effects already de scribed. Means Of Distribution The pest can be transpct-ted in many different ways. It was pro bably introduced into the United States in bulbs, tubero or plants or along with shipments of other mat 'erial which may harbor the parasite. Seed are even strongly suspected as a means of distribution. It can be car ried from one field to another by ir rigation ox surface . water, in soil which clings to the feet of man or ether animals, to implements, and to the roots of plants, and in garbage, manure, or waste matter of any kind containing parts of diseased tissue. Control Various means of controlling the pest have been tried, but the most sat- isfactory as well as the most practic able method consists in the proper sys tem of crop rotation with sanitary measures. By planting infested fields for two and, bettor still, three suc cessive years to crops that are im mune or resistant to the nematode, the pest will be starved out to such an extent that littlo infestation will occur on a susceptible crop plnnted on the following year. To muke the rotation effectivo it is highly im portant that all weeds or other plants which might harbor the pest be scrup ulously eliminated. For this reason, it is advisable to plant immune crops in rows so that clean cultivation may be practiced. The following plants, most or all of which are adapted to the Pacific Northwest, have not been -reported as subject to the nematodes and are, therefore, suggested as ro tation crops: Corn, cowpeas, soy beans, millets, tomatoes, asparagus, cabbage, lettuce, cantaloupes, and cel ery. Almost any other crop not list ed above under the head of suscept ible plants could also be used. 1 IS REVIVAL" THEME EVANGELIST ADDRESSES AUDI ENCE AT BAPTIST CHURCH WITH GREAT CLEARNESS. Avers Three Consequences of Sin Are Mental, Physical and Moral Will Speaks Again Tonight. Evangelist Marshall spoke last night on "The Doctrine of Sin." He said, in part: "Sin is a transgression of God's , law. God's law, like civil law, does I not recognize accidents or ignorance. A broken law constitutes a sin. Sin ihas a three-fold consequence, mental, 'physical and moral. The mental and I physical consequences are in this world, the moral in the hereafter. It is deadly; it is hereditary." The evangelist illustrated the ser mon with experiences from life: Mr. Marshall h.'is spent years in world travel and is qualified to speak on the subject handled. The subject tonight is "The Immor tality of the Soul." Mr. Marshall es pecially invites the unbeliever, the thinker and anyone interested in the subject. He challanges tho contradiction suc cessfully of the argument of the soul being immortal, either from a scien tific standpoint or otherwise. The sermon begins at 7:30. HUGHES' TOUR MEETS APPROVAL New York, Sept. 21. Cordial in dorsement by William R. Willcox, chairman of the Republican national committee, was given today to tho Hughes campaign-train, which the Re publican women's campaign commit tee and the women's committee of the Hughes alliance are to send across the continent in October. "The best thing about it is that it really has for its first object getting votes for Mr. Hughes," said Mr. Will cox. 'Women throughout the coun try are interested in showing that women's political activity is by no means wholly expressed in the cause of suffrage. This train is not a suff rage train. It is a practical expres sion of women's political co-operation with men for the election of Mr. Hughes, in a national crisis. "Besides getting votes for Mr. Hughes, I think the campaign train will serve a large purpose as it goes through the 29 states in its itinerary, carrying a group of national women workers and speakers. It will unite women in national solidarity behind a national issue. "The train will be financed and managed by women, and the party of speakers on the train will bo entirely women." Our Want Ads bring results. Industry Needs Better Protecton ' Strong support is given to the stand which Charles E. Hughes is taking in behalf of a protective tariff which will properly serve thj industrial interests of this country by J. E. LaDow of the Mansfield, Ohio., Tire and Rubber com pany, of which co-ncern tho board of j directors stand politically eight dem ocrats and one republican, in a let- ! ter to tho New York Herald when he says: "In Europe tho average wage for labor in rubber factories is $1 a day. In America it is $3 a day. In Eu rope they have all the late rubber machinery and equipment that we have here and then besides get their rubber at less cost, B3 it is shipped to London as a clearing house, and we have to pay the extra handling, plus n commission to the middlemen. Therefore we cannot compete on the product." Yet in spite of this situation the Underwood-Simmons bill cut the tar iff on manufactured goods from 35 per cent to 10 per cent with a few exceptions of 15 per rent and in the opinion of the writer "had it not been for tho great war ou" plants would be closed down today." This is an indictment of the demo cratic tariff which goes to the mark. It is a case where business men see their plight regardless of their politi cal leanings. They havo gone through the experiment of tarm for revenue only and they see the mistake as well as appreciate the part which the war has played in preventing business stagnation in this country. The re lief from such a situation lies in ade quate protection and it is that for which the republican party has always stood I'.nd stands today. It is the republican tariff which gives industry tho protection it needs. Norwich Bulletin.
