important that the grain and grass
seed be free of ergot sclerotia as
the disease is usually introduced in
a planted crop through contaminat-
ed seed. If ergotized seed must be
used the ergot sclerotia can be par
tally removed from the seed by
tanning or screening and complete
1y by placing the ergotized grain IN
20 to 80 percent solution of common
salt and thoroughly stirring the
same. cTo make 20 percent salt solu-
ton dissolve 40 pounds of salt in IS
gallons of water.) In such solu-
ton, the seeds sink and the sclerotia
float to the top and may be SKINNED
off. The seeds are then washed in
water and dried.
Rye should not be planted until
the third year in a field in which
the preceding crop was ergotized and
efforts should be made to destroy
infected grasses in burrows and
fence rows. After field has grown
an ergot-infected crop, it should be
plowed deeply to prevent the sclero-
tia from functioning.
Control in Pastures
In native pastures ergot can be
controlled by cultural or cropping
practices such as harvesting the grass
for hay before the sclerotia form,
or by close grazing to accomplish
the same purpose. Although it is
not the preferred method, burning
may be resorted to providing it is
restricted to the infested grass and
is carefully supervised.
Grazing livestock usually will
avoid ergotized heads unless these
are softened by moisture and ergot-
free grass is scarce. Under such con-
ditions or wherever there is heavy
ergot infestation, livestock should be
kept away from infested areas.

grenous ergotism when ergot is con-
sumed in considerable quantities or
in small quantities over a long Pc
Rod of time. The symptoms of gam
grenous ergotism are loosening and
slougning off of the hoofs, tips of
ears, tip of the tail or shedding of
teeth and hair. Affected parts shriv-
el, harden and finally drop away
without pain.
First Sign Of Infection
The first sign of ergot infection.
becomes evident soon after the
Towering of the grain or grass, when
yellowish drops of sticky fluid
called noneydew ooze from infected
flowers. This is a useful indicator
of ergot infection of the plants in
its early stage. During this period
the infected grass can be used as
hay.
The most characteristic and easily
recognized symptom of this infection
is noticed when the grain begins to
ripen, at which time the kernel is
replaced by a hard, violet, hornlike
body several times the size of nor
NAL grain. These bodies are known
as sclerotia or ergots which carry in
lection from one season to another.
The ergots may drop to the ground
during handling of the cut grain and
remain dormant during the winter
or they may be sown with the seed.
In the spring, if they are near the
surface of the soil, they send up
several SIN all, mushroom-like
growtks with small, thin stalks and
globular heads.
In these heads, spores are pro-
duced which are shot forcibly into
the air and are carried by air cur
rents to b1ossoming heads of grain
or grasses. These spores terminating
in the flower, infect the kernel and
start the above mentioned honey
dew stage of this disease. Later or
ergots are formed.
In controlling this disease it i.
