Plant Best Varieties of Clean.
Treated Winter Wheat Seed
BY ARTHUR F. SHAW

ever, with the method of application.
The phosphate material must be
applied with the seed. Broadcasting
or side-dressing is ineffective. At
low rates when phosphate is applied
with the seed, termination will not
be affected. Always remember that
the response due to fertilization is
largely dependent on the moisture
situation at the time of seeding and
during the growing season.
Under irrigation or in higher rain
fall areas combination of nitrogen
and phosphorus appears advisable.
1t is recognized that fertilizer use
will be governed by supply of the
materials and availability of proper
equipment for application.
GRAIN VARIETIES
Many times producers inquire
about varieties having certain char
acteristics. Here is brief rundown
on varieties recommended for pro-
duction in Montana.
Karmont is recommended for pro-
duction in all winter wheat areas of
the state except where dwarf smut is
present. 1t is a bearded, white
chaffed variety and is quite similar
to Turkey in appearance. This va
riety is quite winter hardy and pro-
sduces high yield of good quality
grain. 1t is susceptib1e to sinking
smut and dwarf smut.
Newturk, like Karmont, is recon-
mended for production in all areas
of Montana except where dwarf
smut is present. 1t is nearly beard
less, white-chaffed variety possess
ing good winterhardiness and good
yielding ability. 1t is resistant tc
shattering, factor very important
in many areas. This variety is also
susceptible to sinking smut ano
dwarf smut.
Wasatch is a variety recommended
for those areas in Gallatin, Flathead
and Park counties where dwarf smut
is present. 1t is the only variety
grown in Montana that is resistant
to dwarf smut. 1t is bearded, white.
chaffed, stiff-strawed variety and i.
resistant to most races of stinkine
smut. This variety is not quite a.
winter hardy as other recommended
varieties.
Yogo is recommended for all area:
except where dwarf smut is present
1t possesses extreme winterhardines:
and is especially adapted where win.
ter-killing is most severe. Yogo is /;
bearded, white-chaffed, high-yield
ing variety with lax, nodding heads
This variety is resistant to some
races of sinking smut but suscep
tible to dwarf smut. The quality i.
slightly inferior to Karmont anc
Newturk, but it has a good tes
weight.

perience to attend a few of the fairs
which have been held throughout
Montana the past month and to par
ticipate in the judging events. They
are truly show-window of Mon
tana's agricultural industry and it
was pleasure to see the quantity
and quality of products which were
on exhibit. Such shows demonstrate
the ability of Montana farmers to
turn out quality product and their
determination to use varieties recon-
mended for production within the
state.
Now that the harvest is nearing
completion, seeding of winter wheat
is the next operation in line. Natur-
ally, the first consideration in seed
ing winter wheat should be the seed
you use. It's only top quality, clean
seed, free from noxious or annual
weeds, other crops and inert ma
terial, that gives you the most uni
form stands. With acreage restric-
tons and marketing quotas in effect
for 1854, one cannot afford to risk
using seed of inferior quality.
Before you seed, however, there
are other factors such as sinking
smut, or wireworm control that are
a perennial problem. Not an acre of
winter wheat should be seeded in
Montana without first treating with
one of the recommended organic
mercury compounds. Seed treatment
is a proven practice when properly
administered, as it not only prevents
Sinking smut development but also
aids in the control of certain other
Seeding infections.
Treating compounds are available
for dust or slurry applications for
either commercial or farm use. Seed
treatment is inexpensive and it
doesn't require much time-it's the
cheapest insurance you can buy on
next years crop.
Wireworms seem to be taking
their toll every spring in certain
areas of the state. Satisfactory wire
worm control is possible by treat
ing seed with any compound con-
tanning lindane or benzene hexa-
chloride. Of course, it is difficult to
predict a wireworm infestation but
if past experience has indicated their
prevalence in your fields, treating is
advised.
For convenience in treating for
wireworm and smut control in one
operation, one product is on the mar
ket which contains both lindane and
organic mercury. Be sure and fol-
low the recommendations of the
manufacturer of the product as given
on the label
DELAYED SEEDING
Again this year root rot has shown
up in number of fields of winter
wheat. After last fall there may
have been other reasons for the in
lection, but early seeding has been
primarily responsible. The best
known preventive measure for root
rot is to delay seeding until Sept. /
Sept. 10 to Is is preferable. The
acreage to be seeded will govern the
time you will need to begin.
