MINNESOTA NEWS,
Seed Wheat,

Plump, heavy kernels of wheat
grown in a.rusted field, but which ma
tured despite the severe test to which
they were put, are especially desirable
Us seed wheat this season, according to
Professor G. p. Bull Of the Minnesota
state experiment farm, in statement
he has just issued on the subject.
Professor Bull advises farmers, how.
ever, to use extreme caution in select
ing for seed wheat that was grown in
rusted fields. He estimates that only
small proportion, probably 10 or 20
per cent, of the wheat grown in rust
infected fields, will be sound enough to
use advisedly as seed.
Very little wheat that was attacked
by rust last year grades above No. 2
northern, most of it being no grade
and rejected. This, Professor Bull un-
reservedly declares, should not be used
for seed. If there is any No. 1 or No.
2, however, he advises farmers to in.
vest in tanning mills and clean and
grade every kernel to be used for seed
with extreme care.
Inc 1act LnaI tneSe heruciS A"1
proved rust resistant, Professor Bull
says, is not their only claim to desir-
ability as seed. The additional advan-
tage of adaptability to the soil and
climate to the section in which they
are used, gives such seed an advantage
over any other of equal merit that is
brought from another locality:
Besides advising careful selection
with a view to the elimination OF all
rust-damaged kernels, Professor Bull
says that rotation of crops should be
extensively practiced this year in fields
that were ravaged Professor Bull
goes on record as saying that if this is
done, the possibility of an attack OF
rust this year will be obviated.
