In 1930 these truck farmers looked ; out over solid green masses of onion plants growing in the same fields. This ange is a story of modern agriculture's triumph over “Dwarf Yellow,” dreaded virus disease of the enion plant. Not only had this disease invaded the local onion territory, but it was spreading all over the country. It was hard to control and was cutting yields and profits nearly in half. Some growers lost entire crops during 1927 and the year following. In 1928 the crop through the valley was damaged 45 to 50 per cent. Desperate growers called on plant | pathologists at Iowa State college to; help them fight this new enemy; which was threatening to wipe out; their business and even their homes | because the soil in the district was) fitted peculiarly to onion growing and rot to many other crops. ‘W. J. Henderson, young graduate ; student in plant pathology, was put in charge of the work under the super- vision of Dr. I. E. Melhus, head of botany and plant pathology. Disease Fully Analyzed Science of the plant laboratory, facilities of the greenhouse where conditions could be controlled, prac- tical tests in the growers’ fields and their knowledge of systematic study of plant ailments were brought by the plant doctors to bear on this prob- Jem. The disease was new, but fortun- ately plant pathologists immediately discovered its nature. By transferring juice from one onion to another, it was found the disease could be trans- mitted, thus proving it was one of the virus diseases comprising a large group from which the organism caus- ing that malady cannot be isolated. "The organism passes through the fin- est filter. Since the di but lives over winter in the bulbs, the search for control measures was nar- rowed down. Seed treatment would have been,of no use. It was also shown that the organism was not soil-borne or transmitted by tools. Diseased Bulbs Destroyed Henderson took sets grown in the valley and grew them in the green- hous he determined the percentage of in- fection among onion bulbs in the mother stock. When a grower's lot of bulbs was found to be infected he was advised to destroy them and se- cure new sets from a discase-frec source. Bulbs found to be disease-free were planted by growers in areas where there were no diseased plants. ‘They then obtained their seed bulbs from these fields. This did away with early infection in the bulbs and cut off sources of inoculation. This practice has been followed for three years and has reduced infection trom 45 to 50 per cent in 1928 to only a trace in 1930. Ability of the onion plants to “mask” symptoms of the disease un- der certain conditions complicated control of the disease. Plants which become infected aft- er they are about four inches high do not show symptoms of the disease that year. But the next spring they do and cause other plants to become infected. Because of this “masking” of the symptoms, it was impossible to go in- to, the field late in the season and pigs out non-infected plants for moth- ef stock. However, the next spring the plants growing from bulbs which re infected would show symptoms of\the disease early. yy sat THE MOVIES ' —— ° CAPITOL THEATRE Where do all the machine guns come from that gangsters use in their sensational escapades? Cer- tainly they have no factories of their own. “These rapid fire weapons,” says Jack Holt, “are manufactured by re- sponsible companies that sell them only to those properly authorized to possess such firearms. The dealers, in turn, are supposed to exercise the utmost caution in their sales. Yet there are a great number of machine guns falling into the hands of des- te racketeers. “Newspaper accounts of police mak- ing captures of these guns almost in- variably include the statement that the manufacturer's identifying num- bers ,have been filed off to prevent the purchase and ownership from be- dng traced.” An insight into the high pressure methods used by underworld mobs is given in the Columbia picture “The » Last Parade’ which will be seen at the Capitol theatre for three days, starting tonight.

Lenz an originai three bid is the only demand bid of the system. An original three bid shows a very powerful hand and one in which the declarer feels corifident that, with little or no support from partner, game can be made. ‘When making a three bid, you must be in a position to do one of the fol- lowing three things: Re-bid the suit shown. Bid some other suit. ; Permit your partner to’ play the hand at three no trump. A three bid must be supported by partner with one quick trick and nor- mal support in the suit bid. Or it may be supported with four cards of the suit bid and no outside strength. Not holding normal suppo:t, but one trick and a biddable suit of your own, this suit should be shown. When holding less than four cards of the suit bid by partner and & gen- erally worthless hand, your proper re- sponse is three no trump. The proper response would also be three no trump if you held only one quick trick and no biddable suit.

However, there is no fun in prepar- ing a meal when it is forever the same, Try planning something that is differeat once in a while and you will be surprised at the welcome your Hot ham sandwiches make an ex- cellent food for breakfast. Put the cooked nam through the food cutter. Add a little paprika and a little mus- tard to it. Make a sandwich and press the bread firmly together. It is wise to cut off the crusts. Dip in an egg and milk mixture and fry as you would French toast. Serve a poached egg on the sandwich and pour over all a sauce made like an ordinary white sauce to which a few drops of tarragan have been added. Another unusual breakfast sand- wich is cheese with tomato sauce. Spread one slice of bread with any soft, snappy cheese. Press the slice together and remove the crusts. Dip in an egg and milk mixture and fry in hot fat. This fat should be com- posed of half butter and half some other shortening. Serve with or! without a poached egg and with to-| mato sauce poured over it. These sandwiches, to be at their best, must be served very hot.

They should then be ready at almost the exact moment that the sandwich is cooked. Occasionally a beef steak breakfast is quite acceptable. It doesn’t require much more time than the prepara- tion needed for a few slices of bacon or a piece of ham. For breakfast the steak should be broiled. Sirloin steak is preferable. Don't salt it until after it is cooked, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with tiny bits of butter. Cheese Buns Sometimes, in place of croutons, when you are serving a cream soup, try cheese buns. Split regular sand- wich buns and butter them. Spread them with a soft, rather sharp cheese, and put the halves together again. Moisten the tops of the buns and put them in a moderate oven to heat through.

The story of the famous break be- tween James R. McAleer and Bar Johnson, pioneers of baseball, as Mc- Aleer saw it was made public Thurs-; day as he wanted it—after his death McAleer told his side of the ‘con- | troversy to Frank B. Ward, spo:ts edi- jtor of the Youngstown Vindicator, | several years ago. “You caa print this after I'm dead—not before,” Mc- | Aleer said. The controversy, McAleer said, be- gan in 1910 when he purchased a 51 | per cent interest in the Bostcn Red} Sox. Associated with him were John- son and a Mr. Irving, father-in-law of Garland “Chick” Stahl, manager jot the Red Sox. Irving was given | chance to buy an interest because of previous financial aid he gave John- son. McAleer and Stahl, both aggressive. clashed on club policies and finally Stahl threatened to have McAleer out of the organization. The dispute was} carried to Johnson, who ruled in fa- vor of Stahl. McAleer threatened to sell t ings in retailation. However, ordered Johnson to-scll his interest, which Johnson did. McAleer, bitterly disappointed, later sold his holdings and came here to live. All of the parties to the dispute are} dead. Stahl and Irving died some time ago, Ban Johnson a few weeks ago and McAleer Wednesday. { Will Hold M’Lean | Play Day on May 8) Representatives of rural and graded schools of McLean county will gather Jat Underwood May 8 for the annual McLean county field and play day, according to Albert Peterson, Wash- burn, county superintendent of schools.

The survey, points out C. §, Mon- roe, director of the extension divi- sion, was begun in the state with the idea of obtaining more complete in- formation on the insect outbreaks in North Dakota. Farmers are asked to report any insect activities to their county agent, who will send the information on to the department of entomology. The survey will be conducted once each month, and all data that is obtained will be reviewed by Prof. J. A. Munro, head of the entomological work at the college. When the surveys have been made, more complete informa- tion on control measures can be sug- gested and sent out to the farmers.
