Smut, MIXED WHEAT
CAUSE $4,000 LOSS
County Agent Says Burleigt
County Farmers Must Put
End to Situation

Mixed wheat and smut are stealing
more than $25, 100 annually from Bur-
leigh county farmers, H. o. Putnam,
county agricultural agent, said Friday
morning.
Putnam and the Northwest Crop
Improvement association have just
completed q survey In this county
dealing with damage caused to the
wheat crop.
Mixed and smutty wheat are pen
allied heavily at the terminal mar
kets because they are unfit for mill
ing.
Is Per Cent Is Smutty
"A check of otr 1890 CROP" said
Putnam, Showed, that 18 per cent
graded smutty and s per cent graded
mixed. This condition IS serious and
it becomes even more alarming when
we realize that 1t will become worse
II nothing is done to correct It,"
In letter received by Putnam from
the association which assisted In
making the survey, it was stated:
"Your county IS not losing as much
from smut and mixed wheat as some
Of the counties further west. How
ever, you will be following them II
your farmers are not careful about
the kind Of seed they plant. It il
difficult II not impossible to raise
spring, amber durum, red durum and
white wheat in one community and
yet keep them all pure. Apparently
the farmers around Regan and Wing
are trying to raise four different
types of wheat. They will end up
with one kind-namely mixed"
Smut Districts Listed
The heavy smut communities, ac-
cording to the survey, are, Arena,
Driscoll. Mckenzie, Sterling, Regan
and Wing. Still did not ship any
smutty wheat and Arnold and Bald
win shipped very little.
Regan was the heaviest shipper OF
mixed wheat whereas Arnold. Bis
marck, Brittin, Menoken, Still and
Wilton did not ship any.
Copies of the survey have been sent
to all elevators in the county. Those
interested In seeing it should visit
their local grain buyer or. call at the
county agents office here.

Each evening, during the last two
or three weeks, the 1talian-born Judge
told how he went to his home, chang

suit, run down shoes, shapeless over
coat with a button missing-and
slipped out Of the basement door.
Then he stepped into an ancient
automobile and rallied away to the

stores. he soon made casual contacts,
borrowing a match or lending one,
