I Numerous requests for information ; concerning the seed have been re jcelved here during the past week 'f'cm farmers marketing their grain. Many asked if the grain, shriveled i just before ripening by hot weather j and rust, will germinate and produce a crop in 19.18. Experimental work done by Dr. j T. A. Kieeselbach over a 13-year I period, 191!-:il. showed no disad vantage to planting shriveled wheat. Jin fact, the grain produced as much i as did plump kernels when equal v. eights were sown.

They want to know if grain badly rusted Ithis year is safe to plant this fall. ! They are also asking if rotation of 'their land will help to eliminate rust. ! Elvin F. Frolik, assistant extension 'agronomist, pointed out that black jstem rust is not transmitted through the seed. As a result, grains from I fields badly rusted should be at no disadvantage for use as seed for the 19CS crop. Rotating of cropland, although a good farming practice, will not be of any benefit insofar as blackstem rust is concerned for the following year, it was explained. Seeding of rust - resistant varieties, however, a,ids in avoiding rust. EIETHDAY DINNER A birthday dinner was held at the James Yelick home Monday honoring Mrs. Yelick. Guests were Mrs. W. B.
