lime to neutralize the copper. This
reduces somewhat the possible injury
to termination.
6. Spread ont and dry at once.
Injury to Termination.
The soft wheats grown i'm oregon
ripen with an exceedingly low water
content and the kernels are very brit
tie. When threshed with an ordinary
separator running at the usual speed
a large percentage OF the kernels are
often broken, cracked or scratched.
Running the machine at lowered
speed has been shown by the Wash
lngton Experiment station to reduce
the amount of this kind of injury to
some extent, while failed grain viii
have very much less of the injury.
In using the formaldehyde and
bluestone methods of treatment con-
siderable loss in termination of seed
or failure to make good stand of
grain ,are often reported. EXperi-
ment has shown that perfectly unin-
jured wheat suffers little or no in
jury to germination from either
method of treatment. Grain that is
cracked or kernels that are scratched
especially over the germ end so as
to break through the seed coats. arc
liable to have their powers of ger
mination destroyed or their vitality
injured because the chemical used in
treating is able to get into the inter
ior through these injuries. The loss
In termination in this way is, when
proper precautions are observed in
treating. not so severe in most cases
as would have been the loss from
smut. No grower would be justified
in disseminating treatment on this
account.
In order that injury to seed vitality
may be reduced to the minimum. par
ticular attention should be given to
the. following points:
/. Do not soak seed longer than
recommended.
2. Spread out to dry at once.
3. In the bluestone treatment use
the lime bath at once before drying.
4. In the formaldehyde treatment
Il grain is not to be planted at once,
wash in pure water before drying ano
then dry thoroughly before sacking
up.
g. Never allow treated grain to
stand around in sacks any length of
time with the grain wet or moist.
6. Where injury to termination is
suspected. termination tests with
treated grain are recommended and
the drill should be set to sow more
heavily according to the results of the
tests
The "loose" smuts of wheat and
barley are not controlled by either of
the above methods of treatment.
These smuts. however, are not ordi-
narily serious in Oregon.
