Dat Smut in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Agricultural Exper
ment station desires TO secure fro
farmers information relative to thx
damage to oats the present season
smut. Investigations by the writN
show that in many fields in DAM
county the loss through smut the
present season will amount to from
10 to % per cent. of the total crop,
In some cases the farmers were not
aware OF the presence of smut in their
fields until it was shown them by the
writer. Farmers are apt to be misled
because the smutted oat stems do not
grow to full height and so the affect
ed heads are not readily seen.
The farmer can determine the per-
centage loss of his crop through smut
by counting the oat heads on a given
area. To accomplish this take an orr
binary barrel.hoop to the oat field and
throw it over the standing grain.
Then count the number of smutted
and normal oat heads within the.
hoop. Make several counts and aver
age the result. Farmers doing this
are urged to send report of their
findings to the undersigned.
The Wisconsin station offers TO all
for the asking, simple, inexpensive
and effective method of preventing
oat smut. Address r. A. Moore,
