OF INTEREST TO FARMERS LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 8 Experimental plants of both the old standard wheat varieties and the new disease resistant strains of wheat were called to the at

tention of the several hundred growers of small grains' attending the Soils and Crops Field Day held recently at Purdue University. High yielding varieties observed on the tour were the Fairfield, Thorne, Gladden, Nured and Vigo. Dr. Ralph M. Caldwell, head of the department of botany and plant pathology, pointed out that both Thorne and Gladden, although high yielding, were too easily injured by cold weather for use in the northern part of the state. Fairfield, however, was winter hardy and high yielding in the northern area. Vigo, a new wheat released to about 100 farmers last fall for multiplication of seed, was also discussed. Seed may be obtained from these growers for fall seed

ing. Dr. Caldwell reported tnat Vigo possesses good milling and baking qualities and produces a high yield and test weight of threshed grain.

JVIiss Oberhelman tells us that the chief causes of molds are leaks in lids, poor sealing, or insufficient processing. Before you are ready to can test all your jars and lids carefully. Check for cracks or nicks around the neck of the jar. Discard doubtful cans and then you have accomplished the first step of mold prevention. Processing the food in the jar rather than open kettle canning is another preventive measure. Before storing the canned food check all jar seals carefully. Remove the ring bands on the glass top and vacuum seal lids to test the seal. Guard against underprocessing, warns Miss Oberhelman. Follow the canning time tables which are tested and true. Mold on nonacid vegetables and meats is generally caused by too short 'a processing time or leaks in the jar. Lastly, a word of caution from

Miss Oberhelman. Moldy fruit and tomatoes should be boiled thoroughly before tasting. Mold may destroy some of the acid in the canned food and then botulinus has a chance to develop.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July, 9 Don't let mold- spoil food you worked hard to can, urges Miss Lois Oberhelman, extension nutrition specialist, Purdue University. Contrary to common belief mold is not unavoidable and expected, but rather, the most easily prevented of all types of spoilage. Each homemaker should do her utmost to prevent vhis mold which means jn loss of food and which could be dangerous. Molds are found mostly on fruits and tomatoes and only grow in the presence of air. Mold is killed by temperature below the boiling point.

LAFAYETTE, Ind.. July 9 The yield and quality of Indiana tomatoes could be increased twenty percent or more through the control of three or four important diseases of this favorite garden and canning crop, declare R. W. Samson and E. G. Sharvelle, plant pathologists at Purdue University. These diseases destroy the tomato leaves, thus weakening the plants and exposing the fruits to sunburning and yellowing. Such exposed fruits are more susceptible to cracking and rotting. Three of the Jour diseases also rot the fruits. Septoria leafspot, early blight and anthracnose occur every season, but are most destructive when rainfall is abundant in

June, July and August. The fourth disease, lave blight, occurs only in summers as abnormally cool and wet as in 1945 and 1946. Spraying or dusting with certain chemicals known as fungicides will control these diseases

(if properly and repeatedly applied, say the Purdue specialists. I Such copper fungicides as copper 'A compound, COC-S, yellow cuprocide and tribasis copper suljphate are recommended as easilest to use and readily available

from farmers' cooperative stores,

orchard supply houses, seed stores and some drug stores. The manufacturer's directions should be followed in preparing them for use as sprays. Some of them are available already incorporated in ready mixed dusts. The tomato plants and fruit should be sprayed every week or ten days from the time the plants reach the size of a half-bushei basket. Apply 150 to 200 gallons of spray or 40 to 50 pounds oi dust per acre, or one and onehalf gallons or one-half pound per 100 feet of row. Use well constructed hand or power sprayers or dusters that apply a fine mist or forceful blast of dust vo all parts of the plants. Three applications may be enough in dry seasons, while five or, six may be needed when frequent and persistent rains occur. Further Information may be 'obtained from Purdue Extension Leaflet BP-18, "Spraying or Dusting for Control of Tomatc

Diseases in Indiana" which is

available from county agents.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 7 Maintaining the beef cattle herd on pasture will cost only about one-half as much as when the herd is in dry lot, P. T. Brown, Purdue University extension animal husbandry, points out in outlining summer care of the beef herd.

Not only is ample pasture Jrom early spring to late fall necessary, but special effort should be made to provide adequate pasture for midsummer when blue grass usually is dry and dormant. During this period most herds lose weight. Milk production also drops and nursing calves become thin and unthrifty. Also the seeding of special pastures such as Balbo rye, that can be used in late fall", early winter or in the very early spring, will save on winter maintenance. During warm weather, the good husbandman should protect herds against flies, lice and other parasites. These pests retard ;o rndnro unthrifty cattle
