Smut in Wheat.

To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
The farmer who ascertains certainly
what is the cause of smut in wheat, will
have made one of the most useful dis
coveries of the age. r5For knowing the
cause we can perhaps prevent the smut.
Your correspondent, Col. King, takes
proper step in this direction; he OBJ
serves a series of facts accurately, de-
duces his'theory and gives his facts and
theory to the public for examination.
want to do likewise.
Several years since, a neighbor of
mine, who is large wheat raiser, hav
ing thirty acre field ready to sow, sow
ed It all in Boughton wheat, except one
bushel. This one busel was Walker
wheat with smut in. it. The Boughton
seed wheat had little smut. 1t was all
sown alike, at the same time, on the
same kind of land, side by side. When
he harvested this field, the Boughton
was fully ripe; the Walker lacked few
days of being ripe, but it was all har-
vested the same day.
This man let his brother have for seed
all the Walker wheat made from this
one bushel, He saved his own seed out
of the Bonghton raised in this field, the
BoughLon still having q little smut, and
the Walker none. 6
The next year the two brothers sowed
the seed so saved, one the Boughton
the other the Walker, in the same field,
in the same manner, at the same time.
The result was that the Walker was
about one third smut, and no. smut in
the Boughton.
These facts are known to perhaps a
dozen men of the neighborhood, and
seem to me to prove to almost demons
tration that smut On eatresusts in sopiag
seed not ntoroughiy ripe. eff
call Col. Kings attention to this
idea and ask that he inquire and let the
readers of the GAzErrE know whether
or not the crop Ieferred to by him was
cut a little green; and whether or not
there were nota good many ''underling''
heads in it, or perhaps green, thin
spots Aes 9Yia9s
But / am asked to say why blue
stoning" prevents smut; if my theory
is the true one, answer, it is well
known that if cockly wheat is soaked
twenty-four hours in strong decoction
of blue stone, not a grain of the cookie
will ever sprout. The blue stone kills
the germ in it. Ripe wheat is darker
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1877-06-27

colored than wheat cut little green
will NOT make 50 much flour, the erain
Is thicker, the germ is better protected.
The ''blue stoning" kills the germ in the
unripe grains, and they never sprout.
If the seed is not ''blue stoned" they
gerinlnates but cannot make perfect
wheat. They make only tsnut<" The
thick, perfectly developed bran pro-
tects the germ of the ripe wheat from
the action of the blue stone Again, it
sometimes happens that part of a crop
sown when the ground is wet, is smutty,
and another part sown from the same
seed when the ground is dry, is free
from smut. The reverse, 1 believe,
never happens. My theory accounts for
this. The unripe grains win not vege-
tate in dry ground, but will in wet
ground. There is no harm in letting
some of your wheat get perfectly ripe
for seed. Try it and see if you do not
escape smut. HI.
