OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

cultural agents for detailed information on thig new , oats disease and how ' to prevent it.

LAFAYETTE, Ind.r Mar. .7 Indiana oat growers should be prepared to adopt control , measures lor the new Victoria blight disease of oats, Dr. Ralph M. Caldwell, head of the department of botany and plant pathology, Purdue University, warns. This new disease caused losses in several counties in 1946 and unless steps are taken to prevent the recurrence, it is likely to become a wide spread and serious problem . in , 1947, Dr. Caldwell declared. The Victoria blight occurs on varieties of the Victoria-Richland parentage, such as Tama and Vicland, but . does not cause losses to resistant oats as the new Benton and Clinton varieties and older Columbia and Cartier varieties. The treatment recommended is the use of New Improved Ceresan, which will reduce the danger of losses occuring on oats varieties such as Tama and Vicland. Seed must be treated at' least 24 hours before seeding, using the New Improved Ceresan at the rate of one-half ounce to the bushel of seed. , The' . operator should not inhale the dust as it is poisonous. Therefore, it is better to . treat the seed at least two weeks before seeding time, with only onefourth ounce , of , the Ceresan. This lesser amount will greatly reduce the chemical dust in the air. The disease which was recently named "Victoria Blight", is f aused by the fungus known as Helminthosporium, It , causes damage by destroying oats seedlings shortly after . they emerge. It also causes stunting and lodging of the plant , at harvest time. Stems of the infected plants appear black at. the nodes and are very easily broken. Dr. Caldwell urges oat grow-

LAFAYETTE;. Ind., Mar. .7 Lumber production in 1947 is expected to equal the 1946 production which was. double that ,of 1945, A. T. Parrish, district ex--tension forester, Purdue University, declared. . Demand for lumber, is back to normal and is remaining constant. Prices being paid for standing . trees are becoming more or less, stable according o quality and t species. .Lumber prices reached ; an , exceedingly high level during the war, ..witfj. prices paid for standing timber both high and variable. ' . Since markets are now stabilizing, the demand for poor quality lumber is decreasing', Parrish said. Low quality lumber and trees will be more difficult to sell. Such timber, during the war, brought high prices. Many trees cut during this period, would not pay their way through the mill under a normal market. I Since "the cut" for 1947 is expected to equal that in 1946, the sellers' market for standing timber should hold even for medium or good quality timber the forester added. He points ; out further , that woodlot owners, when selling timber should keep several practices in mind. Mature timber should be cut. Young thrifty trees which in several years will ,be large enough and of good epoueh quality to bring a price demanded by quality lumber,

should be allowed to grow. Owners might consider that trees, left to stand, will bring an interest, of from four to six percent on the . value, of the crop. Parrish also points out that leaving trees will benefit , the farm in ways other than those of a monetary value.

Two national award 4-H projects, a new : home improvement . program and, the garden program being offered for the , second year, Have been announced by the , state 4-H club office at Pilrdu'e University. .

Merit awards . on 'county,; state and national level's will be .provided by donors." The stale award' for each project is an 'educational trijD to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago in November. The home improvement program is designed to develop skill in painting and. simple carpentry and, in planning . home ' improvement for beauty, comfort, health, privacy, and safety in keeping within the. needs of every . member of the family. Demonstrations in this project will show what the members have learned . regarding ' home furnishings, arrangements and interior decorating practices. Awards are provided by the SearsRoebuck Foundation. . Boys and girls who enroll in the 1947 garden project will acquire some of the knowledge and skills essential to the . care and management of the well-planned garden.

Donor of the awards will be the Allis Chalmers Company.

In addition, extension service agents will cooperate with the three-fold program of the Junior Vegetable Growers' Association offering projects to youth interested in working with vegetables. Included in these . activities is the producton and marketing of vegetable crops for older youth. The new phase this year will be demonstrating some part of production, marketing or use of

vegetables arid" the third section of the program is that of learning sibbut varieties, diseases, insects, grade defects and grades through local', state and national judging' contests. . Trips, , prizes and trophies will be given by the Great Atlantic arid Pacific Tea Company.

Farmers who advertise their seed for sals by means of newspaper, circular, catalog, etc., are required" to; have, the seed tested and tagged according to . Dr. F. W. Quackenbiish, State Seecl . Coin-' missioner and head of the Purdue University Agricultural Chemistry Dept. Only exception to the labeling provisions of the Indiana Seed Law is, that a farmer, who produced the . seed, arid, who has not advertised it may deliver it to the purchaser on the grower's own' premises without tags. . Persons buying' untagged seed under this exception throw away much of the protection, that would be afforded by the Indiana Seed Law if the. seed were 'tagged. According to Dr. Quackenbush, an increasing number of farmers are tagging the seed they sell to their neighbors because they are finding that tested and tagged ' seed is worth more and will bring more. Likewise , he states that an increasing number of seed buyers are buying tested seed because they are finding that the use of tested seed is good j businss. , Regardless of whether the circumstances require that the seed be tagged, the sale of seed containing dny primary noxious weed seeds, more than one-half . of one percent of secondary noxious weed seed, or more than three percent of all weed seeds is prohibited. . Seed samples may be sent ta the State Seed Laboratory a Purdue for a free test.

Sinre 1939, railroad employes have had three general pay raises totaling 5'2bio, and the prices of fuel, materials and supplies have risen 61 6Ao. But when the war ended in 1945, the railroads were still hauling freight at. rates no higher, and hi some cases lower, than when the war began. , Without increased revenues, railroads could not meet these costs and also provide improvements in equipment and facilities improvements that are essential for the low-cost freight and passenger services which are necessary to America's high standard of living. Under these circumstances and almost a year after the last major wage increase the Interstate Commerce Ckrmmission recently approved an average increase in freight rates of 1761,,. Of all the price increases in. America

today, few have been so little and so late aa that in the price of railroad transportation. ,. flow important are healthy railroads to a prosperous country? Only when the railroads are financially healthy can they provide the new equipment, improved road beds, and better terminal facilities -needed . for still bet ter service to you. The defense of the nation depends' upon the tntuiuaee- of the efficient transportation liich sewed the na-., tion so well in the last war. 1 The railroads are among the largest employers oi labor.
