Farmers of Morrow county are ur
gently requested to be present at a
meeting in Heppner on Saturday af
ternoon at 1 o'clock at the Court
House. This meeting will be ad
dressed by Mr. J. C .Hawkins, of the
Department of Agriculturo who is
working in Morrow county under the
Extension Service of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College. Mr. Hawkins is
especially anxious to get in touch
with all the farmers and place before
them his plan of combatting the smut
evil. He has stated to us that the De
partment oT Agriculture has dem
onstrated that fully 30 per cent
of the seed wheat falls to germinate
because of improper treating, and tht
government Is co-operating with the
farmers to overcome this condition.
In these times of stress, when it Is
necessary to conserve the supply of
wheat and get better results of pro
duction, the farmers should be ready
to take hold of every suggestion the
government makes to better these
conditions. i
Mr. Hawkins requests that our
farmers bring In samples of smutty
grain, and also those who have clean
wheat are asked to bring along sam
ples. There is a strong demand for
clean seed at this time and such
wheat brings a fancy premium. Mr.
Hawkins will use the samples In
making practical demonstrations in
the proper treatment of seed grain
with formaldihyde, which is recom
mended for smut.""
As this will be a meeting for the
purpose of disseminating informa
tion, the farmers are requested to
ask all the questions they can think
of concerning smut, and ssould be
prepared to place before the meeting
their experience with this evil.
A meeting has beeu arranged for
Lexington at 10:30 Saturday morn
ing, to be addressed by Mr. Hawkins.
The following line of action, pre
pared by H. P. Barss, botanist and
plant pathologist at O. A. C. is rec
ommended. This treatment has been
thoroughly tested by the government
covering conditions in Eastern Ore
gon and farmers should preserve this
paper for future reference.
Necessity of Treatment.
The smuts and other diseases of
cereals which are carried by micro
scopic spores on the seed are so com
mon through Oregon, as well as else
where in the United States that crops
free from disease can not be expect
ed unless the seed Is treated to kill
the disease spores before planting.
Where the treatment is properly giv
en the crop will be practically free
from smut.
Soil Infection.
Soil infection is practically un
known in western Oregon "and is of
little importance In most of the Co
lumbia Basin. Where it does occur,
it may result in a smutty wheat crop
in spite of proper seed treatment. In
regions where soil infections are fre
quent, it is reported that much of the
danger from this source may be
avoided by very early or late plant
ing. Formaldehyde Treating Solution.
The formaldehyde method is ef
fective, inexpensive and is the one
most commonly used. The ordinary
dilution Is:
Formaldehyde (Formalin) full
strength (about 37 per cent), 1 pint;
water, 40 gallons.
One pint in 45 gallons is sometimes
used and apparently with equal ef
fectiveness. Two good methods oi
treating with formaldehyde are giv
en below.
A. Tank or Barrel Treatment.
1. Run grain through fanning mill
to remove smut balls, shrunken ker
nels, etc.
2. Partly fill tank or barrel with
solution and put in the grain.
For Wheat: If the seed is not
I known to be perfectly free from smut
balls, pour the wheat in loose, stir
with hoe or other Implement to bring
the smut balls to the surface, and
skim off. If seed Is known to be
perfectly free from smut balls, It may
I be treated in partially filled sacks.
Soak for 30 minutes. . Remove, drain
: and plant the same day or wash with
' pure water and spread out to dry.
I For Oats: Put oats in gunny sacks
'and soak for 20 minutes in the solu
1 tion. Take out, drain and plant at
once. If grain Is to be kept for a lat
er day, wash with pure water and
dry thoroughly. ,
' For barley: Barley is more sensl
tlve to the action of formaldehyde
than wheat or oats. Use same meth
od as for oats but use the weaker so
lution, 1 pint formaldehyde to 45 or
60 gallons of water and soak for 10
minutes only. It should then be wash
ed with pure water, drained, and if it
Is not seeded shortly should be thor
oughtly dried.
' B. Sprinkling Method.
1. Run grain through fanning mill.
2. Spread grain out on , a clean
floor or tarpaulin a few Inches thick.
3 Sprinkle with tie 1 pint to 40
gallons solution of formaldehyde, us
ing a sprinkling can or sprayer.
4. Shovel or hoe the grain over.till
every kernel Is wet.
