NOTES By MR. ED

Corn Blight A starting note: We have moved into an older, new home for us. We purchased the Iman Rookstool place on Little Oswego Lake located just nor(h of Oswego on the Dewart Lake road. Our address is box 154 r 2, Leesburg. It appeals that the drought is over for now. I think we probably sustained some yield reductions on our corn, beans, wheat and oats crops because of it. But perhaps some good did come from this dry weather period. Coro Blight has been everyone on their toes for quite a while* wondering what its effects might be. If we had had a lot of good humid warm corn growing weather we would probably have seen more of it than is now evident in our Kosciusko county corn fields. As it stands now however, perhaps because of the drought, it is still relatively rare in our fields. That is not to say that it won’t be here before harvest. Mike Jewelett, extension agent for crops says to get out and look

in your “T” fields especially, for lesions on the lower leaves which will appear as small specks at first then as spots ¥4 inch wide and Mt inch long. These spots will appear as grayish tan to tan in color. Fungicides approved for application are: Zinic-ion Maneb (Dithane M-45) and Manzate 200. Apply them at lbs. of formulation per acre. You’ll need about 20-40 gal. of formulation

per acre with ground equipment or 4-5 lbs. with aerial application. Intervals between sprayings should be 7-10 days. It is further related that sls-25 per acre might be a good investment for blight control. I suggest that you figure your costs and expected returns pretty close On this before jumping in too deep. One additional note: Some of you might see a sign posted along the road at the Berton Kolberg farm which says: 304 Bushel Challenge. This sign indicates the location of Doyle and Eric Kolberg’s Funks test plot. These two students are trying some new ideas to see what kind of corn yield they can come up with. More on this later.
