New Wheat Smut
Control Study
Starts at OSC
OKKGON STATE COLLEGE A
new 'Inside" approach for con
trolling wheat smut has been
mapped out by a team of Oregon
.Stale college scientists.
The plan calls first for a care
ful study of the fungus what it
needs to glow, for example, and
how its gets eneigy from sugars
present in wheat plants. Little
is known on the "body chemistry"
of the fungus.
Working with this basic infor
mation, the scientists hope for
eventual control through design
of special new fungicides that are
tailored to slop the peculiar ap
petites of the fungus.
In the past, the approach has
been largely one of breeding new
trains of wheat resistant to smut
fungus. The fungus has proved
so versatile, however, that it soon
changes itself into a new strain
that can attack the new wheat.
The OSC project shifts the em
phasis from the wheat plant ap
proach one of finding a "weak
spit" in the life cscle of the fun
gus. Losses have been heavy. In
11)52, smut cost the Northwest an
estimated $11. (i( K) (Kid. The 195.1
figure was less, thanks to the
weather conditions unfavorable
to the smut organism.
Smut attacks the wheat plant
by starting from seed or soil,
growing up through the stem and
finally reaching its ugly, black
flowering slage about the time
wheal matures. It discolors the
wheat, sometimes stunts growth
and culs yields.
In Hie laboratory, the 28-day
growing cycle oftiie fungus has
been shortened to about 28 hours.
The full-grown fungus is also
considerably more "potent".
Pesearch will be conducted
jointly by plant pathologists of
the agricultural experiment sta
tion and biochemists of the sci
ence research institute. The Ore
gon Wheal commission and the
V. S. department of agriculture
granted special funds to OSC for
the studies.
I'lanl pathology workers are S.
M. Diet, department head, and
John i; ll.irdison, I'SDA. who is
stationed at the college. Coopera
tors from science research insti
tute and the chemistry depart
ment are Vernon II. Cheldelin,
institute director, Robert W. New
burgh and Charles A. ('bridge.

You iave extra trips. That's be
cause of the extra load space you
get in the new Advance-Design
bodies. New pick-up bodies are
deeper, new stake and platform
bodies are wider and longer. Also,
they're set lower for easier loading.
You save hours on the road.
Thanks to new high-compression
power, you can maintain faster
schedules without driving at higher
maximum speeds. Increased accel
eration and hill-climbing ability let
you save time where it counts.
You save time on deliveries.
With new truck Hydra-Matic trans
mission, you save time at every
delivery stop. And you can forget
about clutching and shifting for
good! It's optional at extra cost on
Vi; 3i- and 1-ton Chevrolet trucks.
You save on operating costs.
New power saves you money every
mile! The "Thriftmaster 235" en
gine, the "Loadmaster 235" and
the "Jobmaster 261" (optional on
2-ton models at extra cost) deliver
increased operating economy.
You save with lower upkeep,
too. Extra chassis strength saves
you money on maintenance. There
are heavier axle shafts in two-ton
models . . . bigger clutches in light
and heavy-duty models . . . stronger
frames in all models.
And your savings start the day
you buy. In fact, they start with
the low price you pay and con
tinue over the miles. Chevrolet is
America's lowest-priced line of
trucks. It's also the truck that has
a traditionally higher trade-in value.
Come in and see all the
wonderful new things you
get in America's number
one truck. We'll be glad
to give you all the money
saving facts.
