Raisa Wheat. MOI smut.

VIM. Shockley called at the Of
flee Of the county agent Monday
and in discussing the smut prob
lem declared that smut could be
entirely eliminated from the eoun-
try by replowing the summer-fal-
low after the fall rains.
He says that in this way the
smut spores that have fallen ON
the ground during the smut show
er are buried so deep that they
cannot infect the sprouting grain.
Mr.. Shockley has followed this
plan for 20 years and has never
raised any smut to amount to
anything.
He says that the blowing
should be fairly deep, the furrOw
being turned bottom side up with
care, and seeding should follow
as closely after blowing as pos
sible and that the seed should be
treated in the usual manner.
We are deeply indebted TO Mr..
for this information and
we believe he is on the right trail.
This is the only possible method
that can be followed this year with
any degree of assurance that we
may raise a clean crop.
The present indications are for
the smuttiest crop Of wheat next
year that the prairie has ever seen
if this method is not followed out.
A. Z. Wade,
County Agricultural Agent.
