FARMERS URGED TO
TREAT SEED WHEAT
WIN Help Them To Produce Disease
Free Crop In 1893

As it soon will be time to seed
wheat in this section of the country,
those farmers who desire to produce
a disease-free crop next summer
should give particular attention to
the treatment of the seed for the
prevention and control Of sinking
smut which is one of the chief
causes of dockage in wheat on the
market throughout this area.
When this project was started
thirteen years ago on a Statewide
basis under the direction of the ex-
tension service of the University OF
Delaware. and for several years
thereafter, practically all the wheat
growers treated their seed wheat in
home made treating outfits. AS this
project progressed as the result OF
spread of influence following the
satisfactory results which were OBJ
tanned, more farmers each year be-
gan the practice of having their
wheat cleaned and treated at local
mills and treating stations, or by
portable power outfits at a reason
able cost per bushel.
Although some farmers prefer the
use of formaldehyde in the treat
ment of seed wheat for smut con-
troll, most of them after having
learned Of the convenience and eff
fectiveness of dust materials began
to use these dusts every year or I'M
til their wheat crops were practi-
cally free from this disease. One OF
the chief advantages of using dust
materials is that the wheat may be
treated we'll in advance Of the seed
ing period and stored in the barn
without danger Of injuring the ger
minatlon or the quality of the grain.
The two dust materials which |
have been on the market for the past |
several years include coppercarb
and ceresan, each Of which will give
efficient results If applied to the
grain in a revolving container for :
an even distribution of the dust over
he seed. COpperearb should be used
At the rate Of two to three ounces
ior each bushel Of wheat, while
,nly one-half ounce Of ceresan Is
necessary for the same quantity OF
wheat because Of its higher mer-
uric content.
In determining the results Of this
project surveys have been made

FSA HELPS FARMERS
STORE FOOD In STATE
$17.624 Canned And Put Away
Through Security Loans

Delaware farm families who have
received loans from the Farm Secur-
ity Administration canned and stOr-
ed last year homegrown fruits, veg
etables and meats to the value of
SIT ,624.55, according to a report just
issued by Miss Susan V. Hill of Do
yer, FSA home management super
visor. This is a figure considerably
in excess of the products raised for
home consumption by these families
in previous years.
AS gratifying as the total savings.
which will allow these families to
have more cash to invest in house
hold. clothing, educational and other
family needs, is the accompanying
improvement in their general health
and physical strength from the use
of balanced and varied diets of home
grown foods recommended by the
supervisor.
Clients participating in this food
conservation program, and keeping
quantity records with dollar and
cents valuation generally based on
State Extension Service figures, in
clude farm women who had never
previously processed the yield of
subsistence gardens for year-around
use. These women especially are
gratified to find that by doing so
they actually. become producers of
three or four hundred dollars worth
of food annually. Many are thus
largely instrumental in preserving
the narrow margin of profit on
which their farms are operated.
