GRAIN SHUTS COSTLY
TO COUNTY FARMERS

Pine county farmers do not only
lose their labor for putting in the
ground seed that is diseased with
smut but also lose many bushels of
good feed grain and actual money due
to the fact that the seed to be planted
is infected with smut, according to
different opinions as gathered from
farmers over the county by Fred b.
Willrett, county agent.
These losses can largely be elimi-
mated by treating the seed before
planting, however, if the seed is very
badly infected it might be advisable
to secure new seed but this new seed
should be treated before seeding and
this may be done with very little eX-
ira expense. Before treating, the seed
should be thoroughly cleaned as the
treatment is not only more effective
but also requires less treating solu-
tiOn besides insures an evener stand
and many of the weed seeds are taken
from the grain.
There are two kinds Of smut that
effect oats namely: Loose and covered.
In the loose smut the heads come
out earlier than the healthy heads,
generally found on taller than healthy
straws. The smut masses soon blow
away leaving the bare stalk and the
in the threshed grain. In the covered
smut the heads affected come out
later, the smutted heads are shorter
than the healthy one, the smutted
heads stay on until harvest and the
smutted masses are found in the
threshed grain.
In oats both of these smuts may be
controlled by using a solution of for
maldehyde. One pint Of 40 per cent
solution mixed with 40 gallons of
water will treat about 40 bushels of
grain. The grain may he scattered
on a clean floor or canvas or in a
tight wagon box the solution applied
and shoveled over several times to
insure complete treatment. After this
the grain should be covered with sacks
or canvas for at least two hours and
maybe overnight. The coverings should
be treated so that re-infection is not
caused by the smut spores living ever
in the sacks.
Should it be impossible to SOW the
grain Immediately the seed should be
spread out to dry. If sown right away
allowance of about one-fourth bushel
should be made so that the swelled
seed will not cut the seeding rate.
In barley if the loose smut effects
it the treatment is somewhat different
as it is necessary TO heat the water
to a temperature of at least 126 de-
grees and the seed allowed to stand
in it for at least 10 minutes. Bullet
ms describing the treatment may be
secured at the County Agents office
if there are any further questions re-
garding the treating of seed.

Trade in the sheep house was I'M
