The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1930-03-05

The exhibits of the train constitut-
ed a wonderful education for any
grain grower.
The Importance of seed treatment
to prevent grain smuts and other
seed borne diseases, as well as the
best methods for doing the wor kef-
fectively were among the principal
things stressed in the third exhibit
car. This emphasized the fact that
smut of oats, barley and other small
grains often takes as much as from
10 to 40 percent of the grain crop and
that the only way to avoid these ire
mendous losses is to treat seed every
year. The treatment recommended
for controlling both loose and COW
cred smut of oats, as well as certain
SHUTS of barley and wheat, is sprink-
ling the grain with formaldehyde
solution. The Ceresan dust treat
ment will also give good results, al
though somewhat more expensive.
Other treatments recommended for
various diseases of barley and wheat
were illustrated, together with equip
ment needed.
Actual seed cleaning and treating
methods were demonstrated for visit
ors in the demonstration coach were
10 bushels of barley and 10 bushels
of wheat were cleaned for c. R.
Maurstad and C. A. Marsh as means
of showing them how the work should
be done.
Attractive booklets, summing up
the lessons of the train were hand
ed out to farmers so they might take
them home for further study and
application. Lists giving names and
addresses of farmers having certified
or registered seed of recommended
varieties for sale were also handed
out to those interested.
From Redwood Falls the train
headed for New Ulm and Mankato.

day at Belle PLANE after having
visited 80 towns in % counties with

United States Department of Agri-
cultur to give buyers reliable inform
alton as to the country or state in
which given sample of Aseed was
grown. He advised farmers to rely
on varieties of small grains and flax
that are on the recommended list
rather than to pay high prices for
mushroom" varieties often sold I'M
der extravagant claims. Most of
these are fakes, he said, and when
put to the test prove inferior to the
recommended varieties.
Mr.. Bassett pointed out that dock
age, which represents weed seeds and
other foreign material, in wheat and
flax has increased enormously in the
past 80 years and now causes losses
to Minnesota farmers which amount
annually to more than taxes paid on
land. In the period, 19OO-1924, there
were slightly over three million cars
of wheat sold in the Minneapolis
market and in this wheat the dockage
amount to 95,121 cars, or an average
of 1868 cars of dockage each year.
Reduced to bushels, this amounts to
5,151, 900 bushels a year which, had it
been wheat instead, would have been
worth nearly six and half million
dollars, or an average of nearly 16
thousand dollars daily during the "a
years.
Wheat dockage has increased from
about per cent in 1900 to more than
6 per cent and is going up steadily,
Mr.. Bassett stated. Dockage in flax
is much higher. Weed losses to other
crops are also being suffered by farm
ers in similar degree, although they
are in the form of reduced yields, and
lowered market grades, rather than in
dockage. The weed problem is a
serious menance to every farm and
is present in every crop and field, Mr..
Bassett declared. He explained that
there are two general ways to reduce
these loses; namely, by using clean
seed obtained through the use Of
proper equipment, and by having
clean land through growing cult
waited crops.
Mr.. Rose stressed particularly the
Importance of treating seed of oats,
barley and wheat for protection
against smut. There is a tendency he
said, for farmers to under estimate
the losses from smut in oats since the
disease is usually not very noticeable
in the field and since no discount for
smut is made at the market. How
ever, he stated, yields in fields grown
from smutty, untreated seed are COM
monty reduced by from 10 to 80 per
cent and sometimes even more. These
enormous losses, he explained, may
be completely avoided by proper seed
treatment at cost of only two and
a half cents an acre.
