Leave the seed in a pile for one

Leave the seed in a pile for one
or two hours covered by a blan-
ket or canvas. Shovel the pile
over once or twice the first hour
after treating. Then it may be
drilled as usual.
1t is safe to SOW properly treat
ed seed upon new land, as it will
then not be liable to introduce
the disease. The treatment al
ways strengthens the first growth
from the seed, and always brings
an increased yield, even though
the seed is resistant to wilt. |
assume that it destroys other I'M
seen fungus spores, and thus al
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1907-05-23

Practically all flax seed con-
ta.ns the disease germs and
should be treated before sowing.
Our selection studies on the
college plots and elsewhere show
the flax gr,wn upon flax-slck
soil tends to become more resist
ant each year, provided one saves
the seed which each year natures
from this crop. Flax seed, SO
taken from a very badly diseased
crop and cleaned in the firm
way in the tanning mill until
most lightweight seeds have been
discarded, is found to be much
more resistant than ordinary
flax. If this process is followed
for three or four seasons on flax
sick soil, almost entirely immune
flax seed results. AS nearly all
the land on some farms is al
ready infested, this method OF
work does not prevent proper ro-
tstion being followed, provided
one retains his own home grown
seed.
Thus, any farmer who has flax.
sick soil can gain resistant seed
just in proportion to the amount
of disease which is in his soil and
in direct proportion to the care
with which he grades to the
plump, heavy seed from his own
crop. Resistant seed can be OBJ.
tanned from any of the standard
types of flax seed, if this process
| is followed. The resistance will
be lost just as soon as the farmer
fails to follow up this method.
Conditions which differ from
those in which the seed was
grown the previous year tend to
reduce it's powers Of resistance.
For example, seed which was
resistant on sick, but dry, sandy
soil. is found to be but slightly
resistant when placed upon wet,
heavy, poorly drained 1ax-sick
sOh.
In nest cases, seed Of highly
resistant powers will show some
plants which wilt each year. This
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1907-05-23

is especially true in the case of a
heavy attack by rust. Weak
plants, though sick, may pro-
duce some light, scaly seeds.
Such seeds must be removed by
the tanning mill each season Or
the general crop will speedily
lose the resistant powers obtain
ed in the first selection.
WHAT TO DO. After selecting
a variety of seed, which seems
pure, grow your own seed..
It will be better for use on your
farm than any that can be OBJ
tanned anywhere else. If, on &C.
count of fax-sick soil, only a
small yield is produced, be sure
to save this seed, as the plants
which produce seed are more or
less immune to the wilt disease,
and this seed will resist the dis
ease better the following year
than any seed which has not been
previously grown on sick ground.
THE EFFECT OF WETTING FLAX
SEED. Never allow flax which is
to be used for seed to become
wet, if it can possibly be helped;
for, the spores of disease germi-
nate, and, like mold ti]aments,
grow into the seed coats, and
seed treatment will fail to des-
troy this internal fungus. The
young plants from such seeds
must eventually sicken or die,
and will introduce the disease in
to the soil wherever they fall.
TREATMENT. After grading
until only plump. bright seeds
remain, treat the seed by the
formaldehyde spraying and SHOW
cling method. Use Tornado
hyde at the rate Of sixteen ounces
avoirdupois to forty gallons of
water. Put the solution on the
seed slowly with a fine spray
from a force pump, while it is
being raked or shoveled over,
treating five or ten bushels in a
pile at a time. Use approx
mately one-half gaAon of the So
lation per bushel of clean seed.
