Idaho Wheat Win Honors.

That Idaho-grown wheat is equal te
the best in the world has been mani
tested at the International Hay and
Grain show held in Chicago last
month, according to B. F. Sheehan
field agronomist of the University OF
Idaho extension division, who is help
ing in preparations for the Idaho seed
show and other features Of the joint
conference of seed growers, irrigation
men, home makers and livestock men,
to be held at Pocatello, aJnuary ~
to 16.
"A sample of the Early Baart wheat
Of Camas county sent to Chicago by
County Agent P. M. Jesness received
third premium in world competition, !"
says statement by Mr.. Sheehan.
This wheat, hard spring variety, is
for spring planting on
the dry farms of southern Idaho. 1t
has proven it's worth and is rapidly
gaining favor Several samples al
ready are at hand for the seed show
to be held at Pocatello."

IDAHO DAIRY COWS
ARE MAKING RECORD
RAPIDLY PLACING COWS ON
ADVANCED REGISTRY OR
OFFICIAL TEST

To demonstrate to the world that
Idaho cows are good producers, the
! dairymen of the state are rapidly
placing their cows on advanced reg
istry or official test. December
proved a banner month so far, for
there were eleven herds that had 81
cows on yearly test, with the reports
not all in. AS regards breed, the
Jerseys led with At cows on test in
eight herds, while the Holsteins had
IL cows on test in three herds and
the Guernseys five cows in one
herd. But the number on test does
not tell the story. There were eight
cows at least that made between SO
and 60 pounds of butterfat during the
month and these were we'll distributed
between the breeds. The present
State records made by COWS in Idaho
will almost surely be broken in a
number of the classes, in fact, there
is a good prospect for the Holstein
record to be set at 300 pounds Of but
terfat. Predictions are uncertain, vet
it is reasonable to expect that there
will be some extremely creditable rec
ords made during 1920.
Jersey breeders, following the slop
an of the American Jersey Cattle
Club Of 10000 Jerseys on test by July
1, 1920, have responded we'll and
should more than meet the quota of
so. It is not to be imagined that the
Holstein, Guernsey and Ayrshire
breeders will not meet the challanpe
of the Jerseys, SO the prospects are
bright.
In explanation of what is meant BY I
Advanced Registry or official test
ing, it may be said that each of the
dairy cattle registry associations has
requirements of certain
of milk and butterfat which.
It COW makes them under the rules

Register, called Register of Merit by

ORGANIZED CAMPAIGN
AGAINST LOOSE SMUT
STATEWIDE PLANS FOR SAVING
WHEAT GROWERS FROM
LOSS

A plan for community treating 0
loose smut in southern and eastern
Idaho wheat fields is outlined by B
| F. Sheehan, field agronomist for thu
University of Idaho extension divis
ion in letter to county agricultural
agents.
This smut, in /, the spring whea
growing sections, according to Mr.
Sheehan. has caused loss of from
two to four per cent in the last sea
son. The most serious losses, he re-
| ports, were in Bonneville, Jefferson
Twin Falls, Jerome, Madison, Canyon
Cooling, Minidoka and Cassia coun-
ties.
"This disease" said Mr.. Sheehan
els becoming worse each year. Gen
orally farmers do not know the diff
ference between the treatment for this
and the bunt or sinking smut SO com
mon in the winter wheat sections. The
copper sulphate (bluestone) or for
maldehyde treatment will not control
the loose smut. The hot water treat
ment is necessary. Infection takes
place at Towering time. The spores
blow about the field and lodge in the
glumes, start growing and penetrate
the forming grains. After threshing
these infected grains cannot be dis
tinguished from the sound grains.
When these grains are planted the
next spring the smut grows up with
the plant and produces only smutted
head.
"a contact poison will not control
this disease. The hot water treat
ment is necessary and this treatment
we do not believe safe to recommend
to farmers. Community
treating, overseen by one who under
stands the work is best. A creamery
may be satisfactorily used for this
purpose.
1T is, therefore, planned to arrange
for this work in the counties most ser
ously affected. Treating would bel
lone just before seeding time, treat
ng only sufficient seed for each in
lividual to plant a small plat, the /
iced which is to be used for the gen.
raj field the following spring"
According to Prof. Hungerford,
Plant Pathologist of the University,
he campaign against loose smut of |
wheat is timely. Injury from this
,est, like almost all plant diseases, be-
ONES greater year after year unless
hecked by seed treatment or seed Sc
ction. From a survey made of the
outhern part Of the state this sum-
ner it was found that it would be i'm
'ossible to find any large amount of
eed wheat free from loose smut. Seed
reatment from seed plots is the only
yay to control this disease when it is
S widespread as it is in southern
daho at the present time.
The average loss from loose smut
l % wheat producing counties in
outhern Idaho was over two per cent.
N the basis of the value Of the wheat
rop for these counties as given by
1e December Crop Report the total
ISIS would be over $374,1O0. This :
leans an average loss of over $50 for
very forty acres of wheat grown in !
lese counties containing an average !
ield of twenty bushels per acre. In
,me fields the loss was over ten }
mes this amount, and it will con-
nue. to be still greater year after
ear unless seed treatment is practic- !;
|. Losses in some of the eastern i
ates have run as high as twenty per .
mt. They are beginning to practice !,
