Winks of Sumner was awarded $2,000 and five per cent interest on that sum from July 5, 1944 in a decision announced by Judge M. H. Kepler Tuesday. The suit of Leo P. Winks vs.

Aetna Life Insurance Co. of Hartford, Conn, was heard in Bremer county district court April 12 and 13 and the judge took the case under advisement. Ben Wright Winks, son of the plaintiff in the action, was killed in action in France June 6, 1944. He was covered in group insurance carried by the Wescott and Winks firm for its employes. The elder Winks said that his son entered military service in September, 1941, the insurance company was notified that he was in service on leave of absence from the company and premiums were paid and accepted for the continuance of the insurance.

No separate or extra premiums were requested -by the company, ac cording to Leo P. Winks.

Testimony was introduced to prove that the firm had paid all premiums and fully performed all terms and copditions of the policy and that the insurance company received and accepted the premiums but refused to pay the insurance. In Judge Kepler decree he stated that "defendant company knew for some time in 1941 that Ben Winks was in the military service and the plaintiff relied upon the fact that the defendants acknowledged the continuance of said insurance.

"There is nothing in the policy by which the policy lapses or is cancelled automatically except for leaving the employ of Wescott and Winks." He also stated that there was considerable error on both sides and failures to be exact and come to a full understanding. Attor neys lor tne plaintiff were J. P.

terotovorus, which is active only when the soil remains wet frr some time. The n'sease appears in low, pcor- ly-drained areas; and Is seldom found in sandy soils or sloping areas; it is carried from one plant to another by Insects, and usually enters the plant about ground level It usually manifests Itself after the plants have been twisted by a wind storm. Affected plants first show a yel- lowing of the upper leaves, and later the plant dies; in the final stages the bacteria cause a soft black decay at the base of the stem. Careful checking of potato fields in north Hardin and scuth Frank lin counties shows the disease is prevalent in fields planted vith treated seed as well as those planted with nontreated seed. Where certified seed was used there is less damage so far than in other fields.

Early Ohio varieties have been more severely damaged than oier varieties; Cobbler, Pontiac, and Warba varieties show only slight damage. The unusually cold, wet spring and early summer have provided ideal conditions for the develop ment and spread of the disease. While the disease may be seed borne, the hot, dry weather of summer generally limits its growth and damage. Spraying is, not effective in the control of the disease, Nature af fords the only control known. A week of hot, dry weather would probably stop the infection.

Culti vation of the soil and surface drain- ing are the only methods known for gardeners for control. Unless warm, dry days arrive very soon gardeners In this vicini ty will probably lose from 25 to 75 per cent of their Early Ohio potatoes.
