“There is no doubt that the fungus [Cladosporium her- 
barum] is found associated with the disease [take-all], as I 
have never found a case of it without its presence * * * but 
“until infection experiments have been carried out, it is 
premature to speak of itas the ‘Take-all fungus.’” * * * “This 
[O. herbarum]|forms dark-colored blackish-olive patches on 
both surfaces of the leaf, usually giving it the appearance 
of being densely spotted.” * * * “The conidia are simple 
or uniseptate * * * occasionally bi- or tri-septate.’’ He lists
