MAKING SEED
WHEAT SURVEY
Control of Smut Conducted i'm
Kent For the Past Nine
Years Shows Results
BETTER CROP THE RULE

For the past nine consecutive
years the extension service of the
University of Delaware has con.
Quoted a statewide campaign in
regard to the treatment of seed
wheat for the control of sinking
smut, and surveys of the amounts
of materials used for this purpose
have indicated that during this
period there has been a remark
able increase in the total number
of bushels Of seed wheat treated
with a corresponding increase in
the acreage that has been planted
with treated seed. In order to de-
termine the results of this project
each year a survey is conducted
through the various local dealers
and distributors Of treatment ma
terials, and from this information
the bushels Of seed wheat treated
and the acres planted have been
calculated in each Of the three
counties of the state. The survey
this fall indicated that 3181
pounds of dust disinfectants were
used by the wheat growers in
Kent county, according to a rec
ent report on this project which
has been issued by County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, under whose
supervision this work is being
conducted in cooperation with DR..
J. z. Adams, plant pathologist of
the University of Delaware and
the State Board of Agriculture.
This amount of dust was sufficient
to treat 25,448 bushels Of seed
wheat, which was enough to plant
1886 aches, or about 40 percent
of the total wheat acreage for the
county. The amount of seed wheat
treated this year, however, is 1852
bushels below that for 1892, with
a corresponding decrease of 1871
acres planted with treated seed, or
$3.50 acres below the nine-year av-
erage. In all probability some Of
this reduction in bushels of seed
wheat treated this year in Kent
county can be attributed to the Is
percent reduction which the Fed
ieral government has requested Of
those 313 wheat growers who have
applied for wheat allotment con-
tracts under this acreage adjust
ment plan. The value of seed

treatment in dollars and cents,
taking the county as a whole, is
worthy of consideration, for those
fields which are infected with
smut result in a loss of several
thousands of dollars each year to
wheat growers. The Importance
of treating seed wheat has been
called to the attention of the farm
ers in Kent county each fall by
means of news articles in the To-
cal papers, and also by circular
letters, with the result that this
practice is now being followed by
the majority of wheat farmers
who have seen its value in the pro-
duction of higher quality wheat
which brings better market prices.

astounding profits made by the

and the lavish salaries paid, as re-

well as financial statements of the
