recently been discovered in the United States in the very 
center of the winter wheat area.” * * * “This examination 
showed the disease to be very similar to the take-all of

as the Australian ‘Take all’ (Ophiobolus) has made its ap-

*(183) 1919. [As reported at the St. Louis Conference (May 12, 
1919) on Take-all and Flag Smut of Wheat.] 
“t * * After careful study he decided that the trouble 
was the Australian ‘take-all’ disease. Dr. N. A. Cobb, of the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture, who has seen this disease 
in Australia, was consulted and stated that the behavior of 
the disease as described in Illinois agreed. perfectly with 
conditions in Australia. It therefore seemed practically 
certain that the trouble in Illinois was the Australian ‘take- 
all” ” * * * “Approximate number of acres affected, 802.”
