Orono. Me-, Sept 6.-(SpeciaD The
following has been made public by
Director Charles D. Woods of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment sta
ton at the University of Maine:
The department of plant pathology
OF the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station keeps a record Of all specimens
of plant diseases sent in for examina-
ton. During the last 10 years very
few specimens Of corn smut have been
receiv I'd, and until recently those sub
mitted were collected by the senders
more as curiosities rather than on ac-
count of any destructive occurrence
OF the disease in Maine corn fields.
| Corn smut is OF considerable import
ance in certain parts of the country
and judging from the number Of spec
| linens seen and from the number Of
reports received Of its occurrence 1t
seems quite certain that it is on the
| increase in this State. 1t has been
known in America since 1922. One au-
| thority states that while the disease
occurs practically everywhere corn Is
grown, the losses from it vary from
none to rs per cent, and that in many
corn growing sections the yearly loss
will average as high as per cent. An
other says that the damage done by
1t Is estimated as l per cent OF the
ears and that about 1 per cent more
should be added for the loss in vigor
! of the plants. The same author adds
that at times the damage may be much
more than this and mentions the fact
| that at one time a loss of two-thirds
! of the crop was reported from this
trouble in Iowa.
| BY the grower corn smut is most
commonly noted as large, abnormal
outgrowths on the tassels and ears,
sometimes almost entirely destroying
the latter, but it may be found on al
most any part of the plant. 1t first
appears as a swollen, glistening area
covered with a whitish or grayish
membrane. Later the surface of the
tumor-like outgrowth takes on a
much darker color due to the develop
ment within Of the spores of the fun
gus which causes the trouble. The
interior Of these swollen masses Is
made up largely of the spores which at
first form a black, sticky mass but
which later dry up and float away as
black powder after the rupture of
1.-THE outer covering.
| Unlike certain grain smuts, for ex
ample that on the oat the seed is not
an important factor in spreading the
disease. Corn smut spores are able to
live over winter in the SOIL Stable
manure is particularly favorable
medium for their preservation, and in
fact for the propagation of the dis
ease. In the manure the spores ger
inmate and produce numerous second
airy spores capable Of injecting the
corn. Hence, once in the manure, not
only is the smut fungus preserved and
multiplied, but ideal conditions are
provided for the dissemination of the
disease over wide territory when the
manure is spread upon the land before
planting corn. It is claimed that in the
silo the smut spores are destroyed, but
it is not recommended that this be
relied upon wholly to control the dis
ease.

CORN SMUT
Corn Disease Which Appears to Be the Increase in
Maine

Corn plants are not attacked by
smut, as a rule, till a foot or a foot
and a half high. Infection will not
occur in the more mature tissues but
the fungus readily penetrates any OF
the younger or more tender parts. For
example, it is claimed that it gains
entrance to the ear through the silks.
Moisture is very essential for infection
to take place. so the amount of disease
which will occur is considerably de-
pendent upon weather conditions.
Moisture and richness Of the soil or
anything which tends to produce a
| rank, tender growth predispcses to in
lection. Likewise, thick planting has
similar effect. It is also claimed that
late planted corn will develop less
! smut than early planted. simply due to
difference in the length of time Of ex-
posture.
While some benefits have been re-
ported from spraying for corn smut
this method of treatment is not recon-
mended as practical. The cheapest and
most efficient means of control is the
removal and destruction of the dis
eased parts by burning before spores
have begun to form, or at least before
| the smutted growths have broken open.
| Above all do not allow the smut spores
| to get into the manure pile. The best
method is to go through the field sew
eral times during the season and cut
out all the smutted growths as soon as
they can be seen. AS fast as cut out
/ these should be placed in a bag car
ried along for the purpose, and the
material thus collected burned aS
promptly as possible. No doubt rota-
ton of crops would materially assist
in controlling the disease, as would
avoiding planting corn the following
year in too close proximity ITO land
where the crop was badly smutted the
previous season. Some varieties Of
| sweet corn are said to be particularly
susceptible to the diesase. There
fore, it might be wise to change to
some more resistant variety.
