SCABBY SEED SHOULD
BE FAMED, TREATED

Because scabby kernels usually ger
inmate poorly and produce weak
plants, special care should be given
at this time of scabby barley to the
selection and treatment of the seed
to be sown, says j. j. Christensen,
cereal disease authority of the de-
partment of agriculture, University
of Minnesota.
whenever practical, seed free
from scabby kernels should be sown,"
he says. eff it is necessary to use
barley with scabby kernels in it, the
grain should be thoroughly famed in
order to remove such kernels. 1t is
also desirable to treat such seed.
Some of the chemicals like Tornado
hyde or organic mercury compounds
recommended for the control of GER
tain SHUTS will kill the spores-the
seeds of the scab organisnl-on the
outside of the kernels. Treated seed
will help to produce sturdy plant"
Mr.. Christensen points out that the
use of clean or treated seeds will not
control the head blight of barley.
This infection is independent of the
Seeding blight and may be brought
about through infested soil or debris,
especially corn stubble. The spores
multiply at tremendous rate on the
remains of corn and are scattered
over large areas by the wind. OBJ
viously the rotation of crops is an i'm
portant step in controlling this dis
ease. The amount of damage can be
reduced by not sowing barley on corn
land.
Scab blight of barley, disease
common on wheat, was unusually de-
structive last season in Minnesota.
Attacking the barley heads about a
week after the blooming period, the
affected spikelets ripen prematurely
and under favorable conditions are
covered with white, pinkish mold
like growth. Affected kernels are
often shriveled and discolored. The
scab organism also causes seeding
blight and root-rot of wheat and bar
ley.

ator Rockne of Zumbrota introduced
a resolution calling upon the bureau
to give an account of its work by
answering series of questions pro-
pounded in the resolution. Last week
the bureau submitted it's answer in
rather lengthy report, which is now
under consideration in the senate fl
nance committee, at the head of which
sits Senator Rockne, looking sharply
out of the corners Of his eyes. Rock
ne and other senators from southern
Minnesota as we'll as the Twin Cities
have serious misgivings as to the wis
dom of the act which plunged the
state into the farm-loaning business
and they seem inclined to believe that
the best thing to do is to stop issuing
more bonds and to wind up the affairs
of the bureau as soon as practicable.
Fifty millions in bonds have been is

Gates of Indebtedness.
The bureau, in its report, holds that
but for the recklessness of the first
members of the bureau in making eX-
cessive loans on farms in northern
Minnesota, the record of the bureau
would have been satisfactory and the
state would not now be burdened by
more than a thousand farms which it
has been compelled to take over on
mortgage foreclosure. But of late,
many farms have been sold by the
state to Industrious farmers who are
making good and many of its other
farms are being leased on fairly sat
isfactory terms.
Members of the bureau will appear
before the senate finance committee
this week to answer further questions
and give whatever information is de-
sired.
According to Senator Charles Haus-
Ter of st. Paul, the State Board of In
vestments has lost $1,300,O00 in re-
cent years by the purchase of securi-
ties from private bond brokers, and
he has introduced a resolution calling
upon the board for an accounting. He
will follow his resolution with bill

JACKSON COUNTY BOARD
WILL EMPLOY AGENT

Funds for the employment of a
county agricultural extension worker
who will devote his entire time to
boys and girls club work and the
promotion of better agriculture in
Jackson county, were assured last
week when members of the county
board voted to appropriate the sum
of $4,000 for such work during the
present year. The members of the
board also pledged themselves to
make similar appropriation for next
year.
The action was taken after large
and representative delegation of
farmers and business men of the
county had appeared before the board
at the February session. Chairman
Chris johnson told the members of
the delegation that he believed coun-
ty which had spent some $150,O00 for
building roads should not hesitate to
appropriate the small sum needed for
carrying on extension work.
