conclusion that the time is not far

DISEASE CONTROL NETS
LARGE CROP RETURNS

That control Of various plant dis
eases Will aid materially in increas-
ing crop production i'm Indiana. was
brought out recently at "a conference
OF agricultural extension workers at
Purdue university. The extension
workers and farmers at the confer
ence advocated that the formalde-
hyde treatment be continued for oats
and wheat seed, that the hot water
seed treating method be employed
more widely. that precautions be ex-
ercised by eradicating corn diseases,
and that potato and cabbage crops
be improved by following better
methods
Formaldehyde treatment for the
prevention of oats smut and the
sinking smut OF wheat has been
practiced in most counties of the
state and because of the success that
has come from the use OF this treat
ment it is desired 10 continue it, un-
til il becomes a fixed practice with
grain growers of the state. The hot
water treatment also has brought
results which make il advisable TO
recommend this treatment for prac-
tice in every section of the state.
According TO the Purdue specialist,
this treatment coupled with the seed
plot method of selecting seed gives
the grower an unequalled opportuni-
u of securing high grade seed free
from smut, cheat. cookie. rye and
other impurities which decrease the
yield and reduce the value of the
grain.
