Notes false theories as to take-all: due to insects, weeds, 
nematodes, soil deficiency, poor drainage, poor tillage. Char- 
acters: occurs in patches; plants in a majority of cases dry 
up when young; much Cladosporium herbarum and Septoria 
graminum present, the latter yellowing the leaf (which later 
dies) and being fatal when on the sheath of young plants, the 
former fungus found in nearly all cases of take-all; internal 
mycelium colorless, conidiophores tufted, usually emerging 
through stomata; typical spore two-celled and rough. 
“T will * * * assign to the Cladosporium herbarum the 
name of take-all, to Septoria graminum the appropriate name 
of dry blight, to the Macrosporium the name of brown blight.”

Notes Leptosphaeria herpotrichoides on rye as a parasite. 
It has long been known on stubble as a saprophyte. The 
base of the stem is browned and weakened. Notes also Lepto- 
sphaeria tritici and Ophiobolus herpotrichus causing a foot- 
rot, and the latter fungus also killing the roots of winter 
wheat.

A hyaline mycelium was present in the roots and in the 
lower stem, and a dark mycelium on the surface. Hender- 
sonia and Ophiobolus were found.

Mentions Leptosphaeria herpotrichoides on rye, L. tritici 
on wheat leaves. Ophiobolus (Raphidospora [Raphidophora]) 
herpotrichus is reported as “now” found in Germany. The 
mycelium often goes to the roots, which turn black and die.
