satisfaction his mission in Ida. 1t came to
be accepted that he was working on the express

Twenty Ramsey county farmers.
meeting here Nov. 80. expressed belief
that the annual loss from smut IN
wheat. estimated at $87 900 for RAM

by proper seed treatment.
They also decided that an effort
should be made to force the farmer
who raises smutty wheat to pay the
penalty alone. without inflicting some
OF the cost upon his neighbcrs. The
aid or the elevator managers will be
sought In working out a method
whereby the man whose wheat Is
clean will receive full price for it and
whose wheat is sinutty vii bear the
penalty alone.
In many cases. the farmers avcrrcd,
there appears to be a tendency 20
spread the loss to all growers in the
area. Records showed that 65 per
cent OF all wheat shipped from one
rtaticn graded sn1u.ty. whereas the
farmers felt confident that less than
half tho wheat grown III tho district
was smutty. Mixing OF good wheat

Expressing faith in the efficiency
Of seed treatment in reducing smut
losses. the meeting determined TO ask
