" Unlike the wheat rusts. th!3 rust

transfer to nearby stalks are so
slow as to be scarcely noticeable.
In other years transfer and germi

sugar pines. Since this is so It Is
posssble to stop it entirely by re
moving every plant or sibes if
such could be done within strik
ing, distance of the pine-formed
spores. In like manner wheat
rust may be combatted by remov
al - of " its alternate host eerta In
varieties ot barberry.
Asked whether spraying can
control flax rust practically Mr.
Goodding said be lias not made a
special study of this, method but
knows of no practical way of
meeting the difficulty. lie thinks
that further search may uncover
some remedy now unknown, and)
that If so the difficulties of ap
plication will be successfully met.
' The disease Is not carried on
the seed, and. does no injury to
the seed direct, , except such as
comes from lessened vitality f font
heavy attacks of the disease. Such
lowered vitality is of course harm
ful to the' production of a fiber
crop of maximum amount and on-
timum quality.

He was the head of the promotion
committee of the Salem Chamber
of Commerce, then the board ot
trade. t lie one day thought, out a
scheme to put Salem,, Oregon, on
the map In large letters; and for
good.; " v ' -
' In his 'official capacity. Mr. El
vin wrote, a letter to all the other
twenty . or thirty-odd Salems
(count them), in the United States,
Inviting them to get off the
earth . ' .-.
.To erase themselves; change
their names. He held that Sa
lem. Oregon, with its splendid ac
complishments and its assured
great future, was best entitled to
use the name exclusively, etc. etc.
He eertainly got a rise out of
the other Salems,-especially Sa
lem, West Virginia, which thinks
it is some pumpkins, and more
especially Salem. Massachusetts,
which claims the original and
first right to the name, with its
title, running back some hundreds
of years before any white man
ever saw the site of Salem, Ore-
si gon.
'.People1 all over the United
States, and all over the world, sat
up and took notice. People who
had never known about Salem,
Oregon, heard about its existence
and location and claims to de
served fame.
