How To Treat
Grain For Smut
! I
J. F. BROWN, County Agent.
Formaldehyde Js not satisfac
tory for treating wheat and
should only be used for oats- 1
Car.- should be used since it will
easily injure germination. Cop- i
per carbonate dust is satisfactory
only for wheat. Improved Cere- i
san is recommended because it if, i
satisfactory for both wheat and |
oats.
In treating seed a dusting bar
rel is recommended. Blue print
for making a barrel duster cat!
be secured from the office of the
county agent. If time is not
available for making a dusting!
barrel, it is suggested that cere- 1
san dust be mixed with grain in
the drill. The dust is injurious !
to the nose and throat and should |
not be breathed in large quanti-'
; ties. Treated grain should not'
be fed to livestock,
i There are several excellent '
j varieties of smut and winter re
sistant oats on the maiket now
The 2 best known a ,- e Coker Ful-'
grain and Coker 32-1. Several
Stokes county farmers are seeding'
Fulgra'n oats this fall. Any
i &.;mer desiring good seed of
this variety should contact the
county agent or assistant ag°nt. I
• Small grain seeding time is
practically here. Oats and rye
I arc already being seeded and
within two to three weeks farm-'
eis will be seeding wheat. Farm-'
ers should plan now to treat
small grain for smut.
Smut losses to North Carolir. i
grain gn wen; last year totaled
57.000 bushelf of grain worth a]--j

T. H. SEARS. Asst. Co. Agt.
Just as soon as the last tobac
|
Co has been pulled, the stubbks
should be destioyed. If this is
done, it will help to control many
j insects that are injurious to the
j tobacco. When the stubbles are
I left, on the field, they furnish a
food supply for worms, flea-beet
ks and other insects. The farm
