OLD WHEAT FOR SEED.

When Carefully Stored Il 10 Better
Than New For Seeding Purposes
Prepared by Kansas experiment station
Old wheat that has been carefully
stored will make better seed than most
Of the wheat that has been harvested
this summer according to l.. +. Call Of
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
The agronomy department has re-
ceived nearly 100 samples Of wheat for
germinu tion tests. Samples have come
from practically every section Of the
state. Old as well as new wheat was
sent. Since these samples have been
received twenty termination tests OF
all wheat have been completed and 100
tests of new wheat. The average per
cent Of termination for the Old wheat
crop of 1919 was s.. while the poor
est sample OF old wheat gave a test
Of Is per cent. Practically all this
wheat was strong enough in vitality
to make seed Of good quality. The av
erage per cent OF termination for the
new wheat was only G6 per cent and
number OF samples were secured
where only to 10 per cent Of the ker.
nels grew Fully two-thirds Of the
samples Of new wheat were SO low ia
vitality that they were unfit for seed
These samples were obtained. as q rule.
from lots Of wheat that farmers had
expected to plant and therefore repre-
sented usually the best wheat at the
farmers disposal.
There is in most communities" said
Mr.. Cali, sufficient old wheat for seed.

stored 1t will make good seed and

drill or from 100 to POO kernels may be
rolled up in mOistened cotton flannel
cloth and placed in II moderately warm
room where the temperature will not
fluctuate greatly and where the cloth
will retain the moisture. The cloth
should be moistened each day or as
frequently as necessary. At the end

CORN SMUT PREVENTION.
The Disease Is Different From That Of
Wheat and Oats,

Corn smut Is a disease propagated
by germs or spores which are carried
through the air in the field from one
plant to another. says the Rural New
Yorker. Many farmers have heard
about tho smut OF oats and wheat and
the III :, :, ~ trea ting the seed grain
so as IL ;...vvnt this disease. They
concl;dr. therefore. that by curing the
seed 'uili the smut can be prevented.
different proposition from that on the
small grain. In the wheat or oats the
germs Of the disease are found on the
grain. When the seed sprouts in the
soil and begins to develop into a plant
these disease germs get busy and de-
velop inside the plant, forming in the
grain as it becomes ripe. Consequently
by soaking the seed in solution Of
one pint Of formalin in sixty gallons
Of water the disease germs on the
seed will be destroyed and the smut
will not develop. With corn smut,
however. the situation is different.
The germs are not usually found upon
the grain. and there is little danger
from planting the seed. The disease
Is carried over winter on diseased ears
or punches Of smut which fall from
the stalks upon the ground. Instead
Of working from the seed up through
the plant the germs come from the out
side. They light upon the young ear
and as it grows develop into the dis
gushing black punches which are often
seen upon the stalk. There is no way
absolutely to prevent the disease, but
several ways of avoiding it largely.
Smutted ears should be picked of
wherever possible and burned. They
should not be left upon the ground or
fed to stock or left in the manure.
They will live over in the manure pile
and when spread on the ground in this
way may develop and spread the dis
ease. Every precaution should be TAX
en- to destroy the smutted ears and
stalks. Sometimes when corn IS grown
year after year on the same ground
the disease becomes very bad. and in
such cases the only thing to do is to
plant other crops and give the land
two or three years Of change before
corn is planted again. In this way the
disease is held in check. The truth is
that this is a germ disease and can be
avoided only through destroying the
smntted ears as soon as discovered.
