Oat Smut Survey
Many men have noticed the smut
in their oats this year and remarked
that they never saw it that bad be
fore. This observation does not re
veal the true extent of damage,
though in some fields the amount of
smut is very noticeable. This obser
vation is more true on the average
year when the rainfall is not so plen
tiful, when oats are shorter and not
having so much vitality. It is on
They are being cut and shocked sep
arately. Both portions have been
accurately measured. The oats will
be threshed separately. A report on
the same will be made later. The co-
operators In this work were allowed
to do the treating themselves, and
this being their first experience they
have secured good results.
Those who wish to cooperate In
this line of demonstration work next
year, who are Interested In finding
will give a big dance at the orer
bouse. Ton are Invited. ,

caused by a fungus. The smutted
portion of the panicle contains mil
lions of these fungus spores. The
Ideas that the wet weather we have
had. Is being freely advanced as the
cause of so much smut. It Is the
cause of you seeing so much smut,
for the smutted heads are much tall
er than on the average year. If this
wet weather is the cause of smut,
why do not the treated fields show
as high a percent of smut as the un
treated!
Oat smut counts have been made
on 118 untreated fields throughout
the county, snd also on 16 treated
fields. The count or percentage of
smut Is determined by selecting at
random ten different places In an
oat field, where at each, 100 heads of
oats are counted, keeping track of
the smutted heads. These are re
corded and the average of the ten
counts taken. Thus you see it is no
small work to have made counts on
that many fields. The fields have
been mapped and recorded for future
work. In our demonstration work
we have fields in which a part waa
treated snd a part left untreated.
