BALL Complete Shell Service CLINTON - - PHONE 5 LeRoy Brown Discusses Grain Rust (By LeRoy G. Brown, Clinton, agricultural . representative for Huron County.) Last fall' the Huron Crop Int provement Association brought into Huron County some 600 bus hers of Cornell 595 winter wheat seed. This was distributed at Clin ton to many farmers in the Count and judging by its present app- earance, it will be in great de- mend this fall, As T mentioned a, few minutes ago, most of the fields' of. Dawson's Golden Chaff are severely infested with loose- smut, but the fields of - Cornell. 595 have only a very few heads of loose smut: Cornell 595 is con- sidered to be resistant to loose smut,: and I was unable to find a single head of loose smut in' sev- eral of the fields which I 'inspect- ed. weather and wind factors. Treating Barberry Buckthorn can be eradicated by cutting or pulling out by the roots, or by spraying with sodium base chemicals. Barberry can be cut or sprayed, but if pulled out, regrowth is sure to appear at a later date. By cutting bushes of barberry or buckthorn now, some measure of protection could be given to cereal crops. William Dougall, Hensall, our County Weed Inspector, has been waging war on these . bushes • throughout the County, since ear- ly lash fall. He has found that one of the most convenient ways Y to kill ,these bushes is to sprinkle a quantity of a chlorated based dust around the base of each bush and this soaks into the ground and kills' the roots easily and effectively. Mr. Dougall treated a number of Barberry bushes in this manner late last fall and got good results. During the last month, Mr. Dougall has given a similar treatment to hushes in many parts of the Cotinty, in 'I campaign to 'eradicate these two host plants of cereal ousts, , In cases where the buckthorn In conversation 'with Professoi Waddell, of the Field Husbandry Department, he informedme that Cornell 595 outyields Dawson's Golden Chaff, it is almost' equal in straw strength, and Cornell wheat is more resistant to leaf rust than Dawson's. As a result of many tests made with. several of . our leading varieties of winter wheat, Cornell 595 was judged as the best quality wheat for pastry pur- poses. Cornell has never been grown in. Huron County until last fall, and it would not be possible to asses it for winter hardiness, but all the fields I have seen•ap- pear to have wintered equally as well as the Dawson's, According to Professor Waddell, Cornell 595 has three crosses of Dawson's Golden Chaff in its make up, and should. therefore be equally as winter hardy in this area. To those who plan to sow Daw- son's Golden Chaff this fall again I would suggest that you purch- ase seed from fields grown from hot water treated seed, or snake plans to give their seed the hot water treatment. This is a bit slow and tedious, but if it is the wish of a group of farmers, I will ar•- mange equipment for hot water treating seed at some convenient point in the County. No doubt, many of you will want to try some of the Cornell 595, and I would strongly advise you to do so. If you would care to phone me or send a letter to my office, I will be pleased to give you a list of men who are growing Cornell this year, so that you can get in touch with them and make arr- angements for purchasing your seed for this fall. is ' quite large and is cut off, son sodium sthlorate dusted on stumps will insure that no ne growth appears. It is impossible for one man so large a county to .locate a destroy all of these harm bushes, We.need the eo-opepati of everyone to make the caxnpaig a successful one. The peqple Bruce, County made a clean swe on Barberry and "Buckthorn la year, and we in Huron want to likewise this year. If you are no familiar with these two ahrui I will be pleased to forward bulletin from my office, desert ing these two bushes and Statics meetheds of control. By eradica ing these shrubs we can contd. !the rusts in our cereal crops. o• 'William Sparks Heads Miller Clan Leaf and Stem Rust Another common disease that causes heavy losses annually is the leaf and stem rust. One of the chief reasons why stem rust of grain' does so much damage in Ontario is the fact that common barberry and the purple -leaved variety of it are found to such art extent in almost ever county. • Leaf ruse of oats causes serious damage too. This is because of the presence of the shrub known 'as European 'Buck- thorn in hedge rows, along'road- sides and fence rows and in the bush. These shrubs give the rust its, start in the spring and an opport unity to produce new strains of rust At this time of the year,' thick yellow spots appear on the"' under•sids of the leaves of these shrubs. If you are bothered with rust on your oats, and have any of these bushes on your farm, they should be destroyed as soon that one cluster pustle on a bar- ehat one cluster pustle on. a bar- berry or buckthorn leaf, . may produce as many as 8 million spores, which spread to the grain and cause rust infection. There- fore, the presence of barberry or buckthorn on your farm or in your community, greatly increases the rust infection on your grain. •Much benefit would be assured H all shrubs of both species found growing in fence rows, etc., des- troyed, All shrubs cut or des- troyel now, will give some mea- sure of protection. The shrubs closest to any grain field are the most likely to start the menace of rust, which, when once estab- lished, will spread without the aid of these host plants. It is a known fact that rust once estab- lished, will move on to other fields and other localities, due to Listens to the ONTARIO STOCK YARDS /eamrieg WALLY FORD every Tuesday fltorniuu CRN Wingham-7.30 a,m, Ade j . of DETROIT 'FACING GRAND CIRCUS PARK.
