Treat Wheat Before Sowing To Prevent Stinking Smut
Michigan wheat growers face losses from stinking smut. Dr. J H L Muncie urges fall seed treatment with New Improved Ceresan at half an ounce per bushel, warning against overdosage. Treatment can be done by elevators or by farmers, with precautions to avoid inhaling dust and to keep treated grain away from animals. Copper carbonate is an alternative at 2 to 2½ ounces per 2 bushels.
