State seed certification officials and agronomists at Purdue University say that thousands of farmers are expected to seed the Knox strain this fall. Purdue tests have not shown Knox to have a tremendous yield advantage, but it yields enough more’than other strains to be significant. Many farmers favor Knox because its short straw gives clover stands a better chance for survival. A high test weight is characteristic of Knox if combined promptly when ripe. Knox matures early and can be combined about a week or more earlier than other varieties. The new variety was bred primarily for high resistance to wheat leaf rust, the most destructive disease of wheat in Indiana. Because of its extreme earliness, Knox has still other disease assets. It matures before it can be damaged by black stein rust. Loose smut, however, was a serious problem for the certification of Knox and other varieties for this past season. The new- 1955 summer Indiana certified seed directory now available will aid the . farmers in finding seed wheat with : a low smut percentage. ' Sources of Knox seed wheat as well as other varieties of soft i wheat are listed in the directory, which can be obtained from the county extension office.
