Mondell to proceed immediately to the Northwest and do what ever will be helpful to the agricultural interests of that region. Specifically the President hopes the American farmers will be encouraged to form co operative corporations similar to those which have been so suc cessful in the marketing of cot ton, rice, tobacco and other pro ducts. The greatest weakness In the Hlt uation from the viewpoint of tin1 Federal Government is the lack of an orderly marketing system in thr wheat bolt. Very few co-operatives have been formed. There In grave doubt among the moot competent authorities here that the wheat crop will bo any where near the estimates that have been made. Information kneps coming in from sources that seem well Informed that the crops are '"5t~!iii^7rTirTifi?~b^ri represent ed and that consequently the sur plus tylll not be as great as was at first believed, all of which rh^uid tend to Increase *rMteriully the price ^ in ilie absence of co-operative or ganizations?which, by the way, are not holding organizations?the farm ers have all been tempted to sell at once. Reports of large surpluses and other factors usually have in fluenced the producers to try to get rid of their crop at whatever seemed to be the best price. The purpose of the co-operative organi zations is to insure the farmer the very best price possible in market ing his product. Collective market ing Is ever so much more effective than Individual effort and this is no longer a theory but a proved fart. Naturally the Government makes advances of money to the co-opera tives and part of this in turn is giv en to the farmer so that lie can al most Immediately get the benefit of the transaction and pay his debts.? Relatively little risk has been taken. In the financing of these co-opera tive organizations. The War Finance Corporation was organized partlcu-l larly -to extend emergency credit and bring about in America a more or-j derly system of marketing through j (fie use 'y or to the fattest baby but to the baby that shows the greatest im provement since entering the contest.

The investigations were conducted | by Lehman on the suggestion of Br. ;. ,F. A. Wolf, according to the an nouncement by the Department of I Agriculture. Officials of the de partment said the discovery was original, it having never before been , 'determined, in so far as they knew, I (that the boll weevil carried spores'! on Its body. Other fungi harmful to cotton also are carried by the weevil, Dr. Leh man said: "The staff of this office has for some time suspected from a number j of field observations made that the1 boll weevil was aiding in the spread of anthrqenose from diseased to Gelfand's Products CJelfnnd'* Mayonnaise, !1 oz.

I caught a number of boll weevils from a field In which about thirty per cent of the plants bore bolls infected with anthracnose. Knell of these weevils was placed in a-separate*sterile vial and carried to the laboratory, where it was given a batli in sterile/ water in order to wash its body of such disease spores as might be on it. When this wash water was examined, no less than 17 per cent of the weevils collected were carrying these disease germs on their ' bodies. Furthermore, these spores germinated readily when placed in proper conditions. We also found some other disease germs along with the anthracnose. and so it seems that the pest Is charged with another crime about as hlenous and costly as the original one. "Anthracnoso is one of the most serious plant diseases in the South. It is caused by a fungus which grows in the tissues of the cotton plant and is carried over winter on and in heed from disease and plants. It causes the death of many seedlings early in the spring. A more obvious phase of its deadly work is seen in the rotting bolls about the time they are ready to open. "In this case the lint of the >11-! sease and boll is either completely destroyed or greatly reduced in j value. The fungus wheh produces ; this disease propagates itself by J forming large numbers of spores on the surface of the disease and bolls. ' When tliese are transferred to heal thy bolls, y?ey in turn become dis eased. We now know that the boll weevil tramples around carelessly over these diseased bull*, acciden tally acquires a load of anthracrose spores on his feet and then carries them to other plants which m.ty be free from this disease.
