At the same time, free engineering assistance was discontinued, at least for the balance of the year. The •authority has found it necessary to take this step since applications to date will exhaust, the budget which had been allocated Tor this work during 1961, It is not anticipated that. the grants will be renewed in 1962, but limited technical assistance may be available in planning a pond.

Barley seed hit by smut 1. In 1960 theiv were a number of complaints about severe at- tacks of loose smut in barley p a r tic ularly in top -yielding York, Barley from such crops is a poor choice for seed in 1961 because it is likely that a high percentage of the seed is in- fected by the loose smut fungus. "Infected seeds look healthy, and even though there is no visible sign of infection they will produce plants with smut- ted heads," cautions C. B. Kelly, OAC botanist, "To avoid loose smut in barley, buy certified or regis- tered seed, or get seed from. a crop known to have no loose smut when the barley was heading out. Certified barley may have 8 per cent and reg- istered barley seed not more than 4 per cent infected seeds. Other barley seed may have considerably more and from that standpoint may not be a good buy,' Seed treatment with an or- ganic mercurial seed dressing will control seedling blights and covered smut, says Kelly, but it won't control loose smut of barley. He feels . the hot water trea- Ment of barley seed to prevent loose smut is too tedious and cumbersome a method to be used generally. He says it has a use if you want to get a few bushels in order to get a start on barley seed free of smut. The cold water treatment is not so difficult to .do on the farm and might be tried by farmers who want a few bu• shels of barley seed free, of loose smut, Soak the seed in water for 2 hours at 766 drai0off the water, place the seed in a closed container' for 65 hours' at the same tempera- ture. Then spread out the seed in a ,,thin layer for drying.
