Grain Smut Losses

Grain Smut Losses
Increasing in State
What is called "tragic waste"
because it can be prevented, is the
millions of dollars in losses sus-
tanned every crop season by Min
nesota grain growers on account
of smut in wheat, oats, barley, and
rye.
Evidence gathered by R. H.
Black of the federal department
service with offices in Minneapolis,
proves that the losses taken by
farmers because of smut in their
1928 crops were heavier than a
year ago. A decided increase in
the number of cars of wheat grad
ing smutty received at Minneapo-
lis reported by Mr.. Black from
the counties of Wilkin, Clay, Red
wood, Lyon, Polk and big Stone,
with some increase from southern
counties like Blue Earth and
Brown. The heaviest infection
was noted in west central locali-
ties, but oats were hard hit in
many localities in eastern Mime
sofa.
Badly smutted wheat must be
put through a special washing pro-
cess and often is locked by the
purchasers from 4 to 20 cents a
bushel, a direct loss that the grow

Stranger Than Fiction Exper-

in Orphanage When Babe

Davenport, Iowa, Dec. IL
Stranger than fiction is the story
of how Mrs. Peter P. Krieger is
visiting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl j. T. Carlson in Davenport.
Thirty years ago in Stockholm,
Sweden, Esther, one of twin girls,
was placed in an orphanage by her
parents, then financially unable to
care for their already large family.
Shortly thereafter she was
adopted by certain Johnston fam
lily, who decided to immigrate to
America. The Johnstons failed to
keep their promise to write and all
trace Of Esther was lost to the
Carlsons.
Some time after their arrival in
America, another family, Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Westerhausen, re-
adopted Esther. supposedly in

Where Man Can LiUe,
but Not Raise Family

Among the various climatic linn
It's those of individual existence,
reproduction, and civilization are
especially important. So far as
civilized man is concerned, the
climatic limit of individual exist
ence is probably not reached on the
earth's surface. No place is so cold
or hot, so dry or wet, so windy or
still, so monotonous or so variable,
that individuals cannot survive.
In primitive times and in the
Glacial period, however, half of the
earth's surface may have been so
cold that unprotected savages
would have frozen to death had
they tried to live there. Even now
in regions like Greenland and Ant
arctica the well-equipped, vigorous,
adult white man stands an ex-
tremely good chance of freezing to
death if he tried to remain year
after year.
In such places families cannot
survive. Until our skill increases
very materially it would be suicidal
to attempt to raise family on the
Antarctic ice sheet where the In
trepid Scott froze to death. 1t
would be almost equally foolish to
make the attempt in Death valley
where the thermometer rises above
1876 degrees, and the summer Is one
long discomfort because ones It's
sues call for water no matter how
much one may drink.
Men can live, there, but not moth
ers and babies; the climatic limits
of reproduction are more narrow
than those of individual existence.

err must take. SHUTS of oats
cause enormous losses, and cover
ed smut of barley and smut of rye
take heavy toll year after year.
These staggering losses can be
prevented by treating seed, says
E. C. Stakman and H. A. Roden-
hiser, of the plant disease depart
ment at Uni. Farm. busting with
copper carbonate is recommended
for seed wheat and the use of
formaldehyde by dipping, sprink-
ling, or spraying for oats and
barley.
