Ergot

1t is rumored that ergot, a
disease of cereals and some other
grasses, is exceptionally prevail
ent this season in the wild mea-
d0Ws Of western nd slender
wheat grass. Ergot is easily
detected as it grows where the
seed ought to be and forms a
dark gray mass several times
the size that the seed itself would
be. 1t deVelOpes during the time
that the seed should be forming.
These masses drop off and re in
feet the land.
This points to the remedy in
the case of rye, which is the
cereal most affected. 1t consists
in screening and tanning the
seed thoroughly to rid it of the
ergot masses and in avoiding
planting rye continuously on the
same land. The rye may be fol-
lowed by sweet clover, alfalfa.
corn. sorghum, etc. In the case
Of wild meadows the remedy is
different. These are often val
liable and It is not desirable to
pioW them up or the land may be
rough and unfit for tillage. The
remedy in this case is heavy
grazing to prevent tn wheat
grass from going to seed, or cut
ting early, Just after the grass
has bloomed or shortly after it
has headed out, before the seeds
and disease have had time to
grow.
Livestock fed on hay or grain
containing ergOt In sufficient
quantities are sometimes afflicted
with adiseaseknOwn as ergotism.
Just how serious the danger to
the livestock is, would be diff
cult to say, there are comparative
ely few cases of affected stock
reported, considering the amount
of ergot that is usually present
in the late cut hay, of uncleaned
rye when ground for feed. Ow-
ing to the wet weather this sea-
son in the wheat grass section
the ergOt Is worse than usual and
it may be we'll to take precau-
tions. If it is too late to use the
a aboVe mentioned remedies, it
would be we'll to feed the late
cut wheat grass hay, if il must
be fed, rather sparingly and
it with alfalfa and
