TREAT OATS FOR SMUT
Heavy Loss Sustained By Black Smut Is Reports From : . Purdue :
Last year Woble county grew 26,000 acers of oats the crop reports for the county on Oct.. 1 revealed. Records from a large number of growers in various parts of the county showed that 61 percent of this acreage was damaged by black smut, which destroys the heads of the grain as it stands in the field, This percentage of damage indicates a severe loss on an important local crop. ' . This heavy loss may easily be prevented this year if local growers will treat their seed oats before sowing this spring using the familiar . formaldehyde treatment. Use one pint of formaldehyde mixed with 5 gallons: of water and gprinkle this solution slowly on 40 or 50 bushels of oats as they are being shoveled over is the recommendations from Purdué University Agricultural Extension Department Cover the grain about 8 hours and it will be ready to sow. If necessary, sack the seed and sow it later, It is not necessary to plant immediately after the treatment. !
