Investigations are In progress by the
United States department of agricul
ture, in co-operation with a number ot
state experiment stations and Individ
ual farmers, to learn more about
wheat scab and methods of controlling
it
No entirely satisfactory control of
this disease has been developed, be
cause the scab fungi develop on so
many different kinds of grains aad
grasses snd on cornstalks, stubble,
straw and other trash. Two things,
however, are regarded as important.
First, the beat wheat obtainable should
be used for seed. This should be thor
oughly cleaned and treated by the for-
jtnaldehyde method recommended for
the prevention ot smut Second, this
wheat should be sown on thoroughly
plowed land land where the old corn
stalks, wheat stubble and grass straw
have been entirely plowed under. This
can be accomplished by use of a drag
chain. All grass and straw should be
bcraed or 'otherwise removed from

This disease of wheat is caused by
several different fungi which attack
the crop at various stages of develop

roots rotted and the plants weakened
to such an extent that they are winter-killed.

Scab Fungus Attacks Corn.
Of those fungi known to cause scab '
In wheat the most Important one also
attacks corn. One of the ways it lives J
over winter is on the decaying corn-'

Wheat Is often sown on the corn land '
with these cornstalks left on the sur-'

I tlon, although experiments, have dem
onstrated that It Is one of the most
admirable crops for ensilage purposes
that can be grown in the Great Plains
region.
In five years' experiments at Hays,
Kan the average acre yield of sweet
sorghums was 10.34 tons, as compared
with 8.00 tons of kaflr and &8 tons of
corn. In eastern Kansas, where the
rainfall is 30 inches or more, on fer
tile soils sweet sorghums have yielded
18 tons an acre, as compared with
11.88 tons of kaflr and 11.81 tons of
corn silage. Detailed feeding experi
ments have shown that sweet sor
ghum silage Is proportionately equal
to corn and kaflr silage for either beef
production or the maintenance of stock
animals, although for dairy cows this
variety of ensilage Is less productive
I because of Its low content of protein.
Acidity Is Low.
Sorghum silage should be cut when
Ilt is mature. Its ripeness being denoted
by the presence of hard seed. The
. test for ripeness is when the seed will
crack when crunched between the
teeth. When cut at this time It pro
I duces a flne-quallty silage which keeps
well and Is more keenly relished by
cattle than corn silage. Experiments
show that the average acidity of corn
silage is 2.03 per cent that of sweet
sorghum silage is 1.40 per cent and
that of kaflr silage fs 1.43 per cent
The United $tates department of ag
riculture does not advocate the grow
ing of sorghum for silage In special
ized corn-producing localities, such as
devote all the core neressary to pre
paring their land so us to give the
dover crop every possible chance.

In addition to wheat and corn, the
disease attacks rye, oats, barley and
many grasses. The scab fungi aloo
live over winter on the Infected stub
ble and decaying straw left on top of
the ground, and on Infected grass
stems left around the edges of the
field. These fungi spread from thlo
material to the next season's rrop.
