FLAX PROSPECTS CUT
BY PRESENCE OF RUST

/ Flax rust has caused losses in
many parts of Minnesota this year
Crops that appeared to be bumpers
that gave splendid prospect for
splendid returns-were attacked by
the rust and yields in many instances
cut one-half or more.
Rust is an old and erratic disease.
Losses from it vary greatly from
season to season and even from field
to field, says H. A. Rodenhiser of the
division of plant pathology, Univer-
sity of Minnesota. 1t lives all its life
on the flax plant alone, first appear
ing the latter part of June in the
guise of small orange-yellow spots on
the leaves and young stems. This is
the summer stage of the disease.
Later as the plants begin to ripen
larger black areas succeed the orange
colored spots. This is the black or
overwintering stage of the disease.
Plant doctors have made some in
teresting discoveries about flax rust.
For one thing they have found that
1t may be transmitted from one crop
to the next if bits of straw bearing
the black stage are sown with the
seed. For another, they long ago es-
tablished the fact that the rust NAV
live over winter on old infected
straw and stubble, often left in the
field, and thus cause centers of in
lection for the crop the next year.
They have found, too, that as rust
usually becomes abundant about the
middle of July or later, the late sown
flax is more likely to be injured than
the early sown.
These findings go to show that the
disease is preventable In any event,
losses can be materially reduced by
planting only seed that has been thor
oughly cleaned, by rotating crops so
that the centers of infection will be
broken up and destroyed, and by
planting early.
Wilt resistant varieties of flax or
iginated at University Farm are, I'M
fortunately, susceptible to the flax
rust. But strains of flax which are
highly resistant and immune both to
rust and wilt are being developed
and soon will be available. These
strains are entirely free from rust
and wilt, while other varieties in the
same plot may be heavily diseased
and even killed, says Mr.. Rodenhiser.
Special Bulletin No. 100 tells all
about flax rust and how it may be
held in check and eventually subdued.

GRADE POTATOES TO
GET BETTER PRICES

Heralding the 1928 potato crop as
the largest ever produced in this
country, staffmen of the division of
farm management and agricultural
economics, University of Minnesota,
forsee a low price range throughout
the season and strongly advise the
careful grading of the tubers on
farms so that producers can benefit
by the better price paid for the best
quality stock.
"Use the culls and lower grades for
livestock feed, sell them to starch fac
tories, or throw them away" these
economists say. 'In any event prices
will be low, but it seems probable
that larger total return for the
whole crop will be realized by sorting
and discarding than if attempts are
made to market the lower grades.
The chances are that if this is done
ruinous prices even for the better
grades will result"
The university men urge increased
attention to grading for another rea-
son. Minnesota potatoes are quoted
on the Chicago market at from Is to
20 cents per hundredweight less than
potatoes from neighboring states.
'This difference is due principally to
difference in grading" the staffmen
say. eff Minnesota potatoes graded
U. S. No. consistently, this differ
entail would soon disappear. With a
big crop in Minnesota, this year
offers the logical opportunity to en-
courage rigid grading to establish
reputation for Minnesota potatoes sand
to put them on a parity with potatoes
from other states"

THINGS TO CONSIDER IN
BUYING FEEDER LAMBS

Breeding, form, quality, vigor, con-
ditiOn, uniformity, sex, and fleece
all these are factors to be considered
in selecting feeder lambs, says Phil
A. Anderson of the animal husbandry
division of the University of Mime
sofa.
Breeding: While large proper
tion of the feeder lambs offered are
of Merino or fine wool breeding and
are known to the trade as white
faced, many black faced lambs have
been available in recent years. Mr..
Anderson gives the whites" credit
for being more hardy, while the
blacks" are larger and of superior
mutton form, but says either will do
when well managed.
Form: The feeder lamb should be
deep-bodied, wide-backed, closely
coupled, and short-legged Rangy,
shallow, and narrow lambs are poor
feeders.
Quality: The feeder lamb must
possess quality to be an economical
Feeder and good seller Rough,
coarse lambs are poor performers.
Beware of large heads, heavy bones,
and rough form or large joints, for
they will never make prime market
lambs.
= Vigor: All lambs should be thrifty
and active SO as to stand up under
the feeding period. Shallow chested,
inactive, lame and weak lambs should
be discarded even though price is
consideration.
Condition: Full in outline, respon-
sive to definite feeding program.
Uniformity: All lambs should be
the same in type and size in order
for all to feed out well and improve
selling value.
= Sex: Important only as far as the
elimination of ram or buck lambs.
Wethers are often given preference
over ewes, but the material difference
as feeders is small and the price con-
sideration negligible.
Fleece: Important if the lambs are
to be used for Landing down corn, as
white faced lambs with close, dense
wool stand the weather better than
the open fleeced type.
The purpose for which the lambs
are to be used determine the kind of
lambs to buy, says Mr. Anderson.
Each feeder has conditions all of his
own that are not common to all
farms. Some will want stock for
lambing down corn, others for short
feeding period only, and others for a
long feeding period

N. E. A. BULLETIN URGES EX-
ANIMATION OF CHILDENS EYES

Twelve percent of children attend
ing public schools have trouble with
their eyes. Some are cross-eyed;
some are near sighted and many are
far-sighted.
These facts are brought out in a
survey recently completed by the Ma
tional Education Association, which
had the cooperation of the Minnesota
State Medical Association and other
health organizations of Minnesota.
AS result of similar Investigations
carried on in several states, laws have
have been passed in Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan requiring much the same
supervision of the eyes of children in
public schools that is now required of
their health in Minnesota under the
city and rural nurse systems.
The educational committee of the
Minnesota Medical Association in
their bulletin today declares that by
proper supervision the defective eyes
of many children of today could be
saved for old age.
"The Importance of good eyesight
in school children cannot be over-eS
timated. In addition to actual physi-
cal suffering, defective vision inter-
feres with the usual educational pro-
cedures and may result in mental re-
tardation and juvenile delinquency"
says the report.
"School administrators should have
some knowledge of the average per-
centage of defective vision existing
among school children throughout this
country, so that the schools may judge
whether the number of cases are
found among their pupils is below or
above the average. On such inform
alton can be based estimates of the
efficiency of conservation methods.
From the present study of the
date supplied the school districts it
is estimated that about IL percent
the amount of defective
vision found among school children in
the United States under the present
methods of examination. This es-
innate suggests that considerable
progress in eyesight conservation has
been made in schools since previous
studies, and this progress has result
ed in decreased percentages of eye de-
fects.
can interesting fact about these
reports is that the rural districts gen.
orally report larger percentage of
defective vision than the city dis
tricts. In Pennsylvania, for instance,
the rural districts show 1873 percent
of defective vision of more than $780,
900 pupils examined, while among
100000 pupils examined in cities of

Sunday afternoon with appropriate
