Smut Control
Discussed in New
O. S. C. Bulletin
More general use of the combine
harvester is helping a great deal to
eliminate the danger of soil-borne
smut infection in Oregon grain fields,
reports Roderick Sprague, federal
pathologist stationed at Oregon State
college, in a new experiment station
bulletin No. 363 entitled "Controlling
Seed-Borne Stinking Smut of Wheat
by Disinfectants."
The bulletin records experimental
results obtained with smut control
from 1934 to 1938. The conclusion is
that the best protection for seed
borne smut is the use of improved
ceresan, 1-2 to 3-4 ounces per bush
el, or the use of one of the copper
-dusts. Effective copper dusts are 52
per cent copper carbonate, 50 per
cent, basic copper sulphate, or 26
per cent copper fungicide, at 3 ounces
er bushel for winter wheat or 2
-ounces per bushel for spring wheat.
Experiments were conducted to
see if storage of wheat after treat
ment had any effect on control or
on germination. Seed treated with
the copper dust apparently can be
stored for any length of time without
loss of effect, or lowered germina
tion. Seed treated with the new im
proved ceresan, however, gave in
creased stands over the untreated
seed if the grain was seeded a few
days after treating. After six weeks
there was only a slight loss of stand
Tvith this treatment, but after a year
in storage grain so treated needed to
be seeded about 10 per cent thicker
than normal.
It is best to treat the new Rex,
Ridit, or other smut-resistant va
rieties of wheat in order to reduce
loss from smut and winter injury
attributed to late smut infection, ac
cording to the experiments conduct
ed by Sprague.
The bulletin contains separate de
tailed recommendations for handling
smut control in eastern and western
Oregon.

There were three fatal accidents
involving motorcycles in Oregon
during the first half of 1939, figures
compiled by the state safety division
of the secretary of state's office re
vealed. All told, there were 140 ac
cidents in which motorcycles figured.
Eighty-seven per cent of the fatal
accident drivers during the first half
of 1939 were men, Earl SnelL sec
retary of state, said today, while 79
per cent of all drivers involved in
traffic accidents were men.
