TEST REVEAL CROWN
RUSTS CUTS DAT YIELD

Until recently crown rust was not
thought to have any appreciate ef-
feet on the yield of oats, but exper-
iments carried on at the Minnesota
Experiment Station at University
Farm, st. Paul, and at the Waseca'
Crookston, and Morris substatlons
indicate that this disease may cause
a considerable reduction.
From data collected, F. R. INNER
and F. J. Stevenson Of the division OF
agronomy and plant genetics, con-
cluded that at University Farm IN
1927 an increase of l per cent IN
crown rust resulted in lowering yield
approximately one-third bushel per
acre. Since some of the strains OF
oats tested had more than IS per
cent more rust than Others. it was
susceptible strains were reduced ~
bushels per- acre by crown rust as
compared with the resistant strains.
Percentage of rust was determined
according to the extent OF the leaf
area of the plants covered by rust
pustules. Studies were made on 314
different strains of stem-rust-resls-
tant and smut immune oats. The re-
suits strongly emphasize the advis
ability of breeding for resistance to
crown rust, as we'll as to stem rust
and smut.
Height of plants apparently had no
effect on yielding ability, but date of
heading had marked influence. 1t

WHEN APPLY CELEBRATES
TO ERADICATE WEEDS

The question when to apply chlor-
ates to eradicate weeds can be an
swered at the present time under
Minnesota conditions only in a gen
eral way, says A. c. Army of the Min
nesota Experiment Station staff at
University Farm. Roots of weeds
were dug every ten days last year
and preserved for analysis at the
station. This was done in order to
ascertain if there is any one time
during the spring, summer or fall
when the reserve materials in the
roots are lower than at other times.
Only part of this analytical work has
been completed.
Applications of one pound of sod
ium chlorate dissolved in one gallon
of water were made at different times
at the station from May to November
last year and again as soon at the
frost was out this spring, 1t is too
early yet to draw conclusions regard
ing the applications made last fall or
this spring, says Mr.. Army.
Successful kills resulted when the
first applications were made in each
of the months May to August inclus-
i've. Complete kills from one appHca-
ton were so few that this practice
is not advised. Where the spots of
weeds to be eradicated are few and
small, from four pounds and upwards
per square rod may be used at one
application in order to bring about
eradication as quickly as possible
with the least labor. However, it is
almost always necessary to go over
such spots at least once more, apply
ing additional chlorate to the few
plants that are left.
In most cases in applying CELEBRATES
to weeds it is more of an object to
save on material rather than on lab
or of applying. When this is the
case the first application may be
made in any month from April to
August inclusive at the rate of from
one to one and one-half pounds a
square rod. The second and subseq-
uent applications should not be made
until the new growth and color are
normal From a half pound to a
pound a square rod may be all that
is needed for the second application
For the third application it may be
sufficient to apply a small amount
to the small area of plants or individ-
ual plants that are still living. There
is usually tendency to make the Sec
ond and subsequent applications too
SOON after the preceding one and too
heavy.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1929-05-29

was concluded that for the particular
strains observed, yield was reduced
by three bushels per acre for every
day heading was delayed. Strains
heading on July 8 produced 81 more
bushels more per acre than those
heading on July II. 1t was also DEM
lation between plumpness of kernels
and yield, the better filled strains
yielding considerably higher than
those with small or shrunken kernels.

This is a good time to put up eggs
for use next fall and winter, when
they will be worth about twice what
they are now. Lime water preserves
eggs about as we'll as water glass,
says the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, and is more readily available
on the farm. Dissolve 2 or 3 pounds
of unslaked lime in gallons of boil
ed water, allow it to settle, drain it
off, and use the clear liquid. Put the
eggs and lime water in earthenware
crooks, and not in galvanized pals
OR cans, and keep in a cool place but
in freezing temperatures.

GUARD WINTER CLOTHES
FROM MOTH DAMAGE

Winter clothing should be protect
ed during the summer months from
damage by moths and buffalo moths
or carpet beetles, advises Miss Ethel
L. Phelps, textile and clothing spe-
cialist of the division of home econ
omics, University Farm, who says
that the fundamental principles of
such protection are to make sure that
all eggs and larvae are removed and
to prevent access of the millers to
garments during storage.
When clothing is placed in cold
storage, moth eggs already present
will not hatch out, but they will not
be destroyed either. Consequently
caution is necessary in removing gar
ments from storage early in the fall
since eggs that are present may
hatch out, or the garment be rein
fected at that time.
If winter clothes are to be stored
at home, they should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in tight containers
Dry cleaning is a good preparation
for storage of wool garments, since
it removes grease spots and kills
moth eggs. Furs should be thoroughly
aired and beaten, small switch be.

Private Peat spoke to over half
million people last year in the
United States and Canada. He is
one of the outstanding personal
tiles Of the American platform,
and one of the best informed on
international affairs.
Ever since Peat came to this
country from the Western Front
during the war and published his
war book, Private Peat, he has
been giving his personal fighting
experiences to tremendous audi
ences. Peat was born in the Brit
ish West Indies, later moving to
Canada, and enlisted in the In
fantry on the day that Great Brit
ain declared war on Germany. He
is now an American citizen.
Following the war he plunged
with enthusiasm into the cause of
world peace. Himself a war hero
who has been previously wounded
and had escaped death only by the
narrowest margins, no one could
term him a pacifist. He knew the
horrors Of war, having drunk the
cup TO the dregs, and he proceeded
to give all his tremendous ability
to the task of striving to end war.
In his book "The Inexcusable
Lie" and in his lecture of the same
name he has set forth his ideas
feelingly and convincingly. In
magazine and newspaper articles
he has drawn public support to
his side. The Literary Digest has
published some particularly inter-
esting discussions of his views of
the problems of post war con-
ditions.
Private Peat is one of the plat
FORMS greatest dramatic orators.
He is a brilliant student of world
affairs, magnetic and powerful
speaker and, above all, delight
fully human personality. He
lightens up all his lectures with the
most captivating humor. The
Peat Smile" has become almost
proverbial.
Peat believes that the peace OF
the world lies in the building and
crystallizing of public opinion to
that end" He stresses the will to
peace-not disarmament of guns
or ships or arms, but a mental and
spiritual peace.
No platformist is better equip
ped to speak upon the great
question of the outlawry OF war
than Private Peat with his wonder
full background and eleven years
experience before the public. He
has had entree to the great men
and women Of the nations and
speaks with rare authority. He
has the fire and enthusiasm of
youth and the ability to convince
any audience.

Coolidge Suggests
Delay on Cruisers;
Funds are Provided

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-P-
President Coolidge has suggested
that work on the first five Of the
fifteen cruisers authorized in the
naval construction measure begin in
the next fiscal year. Within a few
hours after his recommendation, a
senate subcommittee voted 100000
for an immediate start on the five
cruisers.
1t was the second time the presi-
dents wishes with regard to the
cruiser bill have been disregarded.
He first sought the removal Of the
time clause requiring that work on
the fifteen cruisers and one aircraft
carrier begin before July !, 1891,
but both houses left the time clause
in when they passed the measure,
and now he has lost the first skir-
mish to have the Inauguration Of the
construction program delayed until
the next fiscal year.
The president recommended s12,-
$4,000 for starting work on five Of
the cruisers and this was taken to
mean he considered the whole pro-
gram deferred for a year. despite the
