herpotrichus was found. The roots were often black and 
dead and covered with black fungous threads. Wheat varie- 
ties show but little difference in susceptibility. “Take all 
largely depends on the nature of the season and the mechan- 
ical condition of the soil. * * * If the soil is neither too dry 
* * * nor so wet as to cake * * * and contains sufficient 
plant food * * * then the ‘Take all’ will not appear.”

Cordley says: “I find that nearly every stalk * * * is in- 
fested at the base where it joins the roots, with a fungus 
disease * * *” Jt appeared in spots throughout the fields. 
“The disease is characterized by a blackening of the tissues 
of the lower part of the stem, particularly at the crown where 
the roots are given off, and by the stunted, unthrifty appear- 
ance * * *” Fungi were present but no spores were found. 
In a personal letter dated June 4, 1919, Dean Cordley writes 
me: “In reply to your letter of May 28, I have made no ob- 
servations since the 1902 report in regard to the disease in 
question and have not published anything further along that 
line.”

conditions.
