Treatment of oats smut by Jordon Pettis County Bureau
S. M. Jordon outlines a 10 day oat smut treatment for field use. An actual count shows smut heads exceed ten percent. 30 acres yielded about 16 bushels per acre. If 50 bushels represented 66 percent of normal yield, total yield would reach 166 bushels more without smut, worth $60 more per load. Seed treatment costs about 6 cents per bushel with simple steps using formalin in water, moistening and drying before sowing.
