Wheat Smut Warning
Issued

As Allen county farmers were
mapping plans last Saturday for the
sowing of winter wheat, County
Agent James H. Warner pointed out
that wheat smut was serious in some
parts of Allen county in 1941 in
spite of good yields. 1t was the
most serious in the northern part
of the county.
According to Warner, some eleva-
tors found it necessary to reject
wheat from certain farms because
of the smut damage. Wheat from
other farms was accepted by ele-
vators at a reduced price. After
the wheat was accepted by the ele-
vators and put on the market the
elevators were docked an additional
amount ranging from two to nine
cents per bushel on several car
loads, Warner pointed out.
Expensiveness of wheat smut was
emphasized by Warner and he told
of several ways to control it.
Free fly date in Allen county this
year is Sept. 26 and Warner warned
farmers wheat should not be seeded
before that day. Farmers have en-
joyed good yields and the best way
to continue to do so is to observe
the practices which give results, he
said.
