POOR SEED CORN CAN cos
NORTH DAKOTA $1,000, 100000.

"One dead ear Of corn planted in
each acre of North Dakota land that
is devoted to corn would cost the far
ers of the state little more than one
million dollars Above is the state
ment of the chairman of the Agrlcul-
tural Committee of the Grand Forks
Commercial club. The average ear OF
seed corn has about 800 kernels, which
if all grow, will produce 500 stalks,
which should average 800 good ears
of corn 500 ears of corn would make
about eight bushels, which at 40 cents
per bushel, would be worth 1920.
TO prevent even small portion of
this possible loss, tremendous press
ure is being brought to bear upon
North Dakota agriculturists to test
the SEED corn. In many localities
tests show from one-fourth to one-half
of the ears unfit to plant. Northern
grown seed should be used, and 1t
should be thoroughly tested now.

internally rusted seeds actually pro-
duce rust in the field, but we have COZ
lected a lot of data which would seem
to be very good evidence that in some
manner the disease does come more

rust does not seem to be able to

shrivelled wheat may be due not only
to rust but to numerous other fungi

from field to field. The red or orange
colored spores which cause the red
color on the young growing grain are
cut off in countless numbers from
parasitic mould-like f1laments which
bore into the wheat plant and run be-
tween the cellular parts Of the plant,
breaking out in certain points to form
large masses of spores.
A rust sick plant is sick inside; that
Is to say is parasitized. Every time
a viable rust spore falls on a young
wheat plant and there is sufficient
moisture to terminate the spore new
infection spot is made from which the
disease spreads internally. Wheat
rust also attacks number of wild
grasses so that there is always sup
ply of the spores to be blown about
by the wind and the crop attack Is
light or heavy largely because OF the
moisture conditions of the atmos-
pierre If there is not sufficient
moisture to terminate the spores then
there will be no large attack of rust,
but if there is plenty Of dew and damp
weather at the right season then the
crop is apt to be largely infected.
1t is possible that If fields were
properly sprayed at the proper time
some advantage would come from the
spraying work, but the fact remains
that nobody knows just when to spray
and also there is great difficulty in
getting a solution to moisten the
leaves OF the wheat without destroy
ing 1t. The fact also remains that
carefully conducted spraying expert
ments have failed to stop the develop
ment of wheat rust Spraying for the
prevention of rust, therefore, woult
seem to be for the most part out Of
the question. .~.....
During number Of years, however
We have been working upon the mode
of attack by rust and have learned
some valuable facts. one of which II
that wheat rust very often attacks tn
wheat grains internally, causing tn
grains not only to shrivel but some
times masses of spores are found i'm
bedded inside the bran layers. W.

that more resistant type OF wheat
can be procured by using the same
method that we have previously used
in producing resistant flax. At least,
we can produce better yielding type
of wheat by saving always the plump
seed from off the old ground than by
getting equally plump seed from some
other source.
Farmers must cease using for SOW
grain which has been subject to mois'
moulding conditions. Only plump,
bright colored No. l hard wheat
should be used if the farmers are to
hope to increase the present yield OF
grain in the state. '~
This seed should be thoroughly dis
infected by the use of formaldehyde to
destroy any root blight and other
spores that may be busted upon the
outside. a,.
