LOSSES CAUSED BY
CORN EAR RIOTS
SERIOUS DISEASES OF CORN ARE
OFTEN OVERLOOKED ~
FARMERS.
1919 CROP WAS AFFECTED
Seed From Such Corn viii Either
Not terminate or VIII Make
Weakly Plants Of Very
Little Value.

The diseases of corn commonly
known as ear rots are very seldom
given much consideration by corn
growers, yet they cause a heavy loss
to the state, according to c. w.
E.dgerton, plant pathologist, Expert
ment Station, Louisiana State Uni
versity The 1919 crop was very
seriously affected with these troubles,
he says. Even among the show corn
on exhibit at the State Fair there
was a considerable amount Of corn
affected with these diseases.
Affected ears are either covered
with a white moldy growth or else
they are weak and the germ section
of the kernels are discolored. Ears
covered with the moldy growth are OF
little value and are generally dis
carded. Ears which merely have the
germ section of the kernels blackened
or otherwise discolored usually pass
into the crib and are used for feed
or for seed. These ears can gener-
ally be told by twisting them. Ears
that are weak or twist easily are
usually affected. Such corn can be
used for feed but should not be used
for seed.
II ears affected in this way are
used for seed. many Of the grains will
not terminate and many of those that
do grow develop weakly plants that
are of NO value. The disease passes
from the affected kernel into the
young plant and usually stays with #
through the season. Many OF the
stalks growing from such seed pro-
duce no ears and few produce better
than nubbins. There is little ques-
ton but what the use Of such seed
reduces the crop OF corn In this state
to q considerable extent.
In selecting corn for seed. no ear
should be used that will twist easily
or that has the kernels loose on the
cob.
