Farm Bureau Notes.

There has been SO many inquiries
for the services OF the county agent
and for advice on the different dis
eases that are affecting the wheat
that few words of explanation
might be we'll to consider at this
time.
In over one hundred and fifty
fields of wheat inspected by the
county agent in the past two weeks
we have not found field that was
not infected with the scab. This
may be detected by examining the
head of the wheat closely and you
can see pinkish colored mold on
thus affected are decayed, and are all
dried up Sometimes this disease
affects the whole head and some
| time the side or top or perhaps a
little spot just at the base Of the
head. The scab is a fungus disease
and is propogated from year to year
just like smut by the spores OF scab
posed that the scab is SO bad this
year because the conditions have
beeen just right for the propagation
of the same.
The treatment for this is to fan
your seed and have it as clean as it
is possible to make it, use the form
ain treatment r! before for you $50 SOW T.
seed from infected seed and it
should not be done if possible to
obtain seed elsewhere. We do not
know of a field in this county that is
entirely free from this disease this
year. Much of the upland wheat is
far better in this respect than the
lower lying fields. If you SOW seed
grown in this county for your fall
seeding do not forget to treat as it
will probably make you some money
for the time and labor thus spent
as many have estimated the loss this
year from 25 % to 500. This can
be better determined at threshing
time but just now it looks like 25 %
would be a conservative estimate.
Don't forget to use fOrmaldehyde
when you SOW this year.
Wheat harvest has begun in earn
est in this locality and will be
rushed to completion as everything
is crowding the farmer just now.
1t is estimated that 75% of the
wheat will be in the shock by Satur-
day night July 5th. The rains and
hot sun has ripened it very rapidly
with much of the ground too wet to
harvest at all Especially is this SO
on the river bottom lands. Many
fields will never be touched and are
a total loss.

Car Burns,

Dan Anderson met with quite a
peculiar accident last Monday which
resulted in the partial destruction OF
his automobile. Mr.. Anderson, his
son Scott and Mr.. Price were
stopped at the house of Mr.. Everett
Elswick. After starting away from
the Elswick place they discovered
that the car was not working right,
in fact refused to ascend a small hill
and was backed down to the foot
of the hill and in getting out it was
discovered that the car was on fire.
Being near the house water was
guished but not until the car was
badly damaged. A leak in the gas
oline tank was responsible for the
damage-Lamoni Chronicle.
