Great Waste Of Small Grains by Smut.
During the coming spring season a
campaign is to be conducted in Colo
RADIO against smut of the small grains
(wheat, oats, barley, and rye). This
campaign is to be carried on through
the cooperation of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agricultural and the Colorado
Agricultural college Jas. Godkin, of
the office of Cereal Investigations, u.
S. d. A., has been sent to the state
to give personal attention to the work.
The slogan is Colorado smut-free
state.
In 1918 the loss in yield resulting
from smuts in grains was considerable
over 100000 bushels. This is an
absolute loss, leak which should be
stopped. Proper seed treatment will
entirely eliminate this waste. Fuller
information relative to the work, and
the cereal smuts may be had upon
writing the Extension Service, C. A.
c. Fort Collins, Colorado.
