1954 Oat Diseases Toll Lower in Iowa Survey
Iowa State College plant disease and crop specialists report the 1954 oat yield in the Monticello area declined by about one third due to diseases, far less than 1953’s drop. Stem and crown rust caused roughly 20 percent total loss, with rust pressure aided by favorable conditions and windborne spores from the southwest and local buckthorn sources. Resistant varieties Clintare and Clintland show limited protection against stem rust, while remaining the sole options with broad crown rust resistance.

Jones county farmers are urged to test seed germination early for a better spring stand. County extension director Joe Legg notes faster lab service now, allows early purchase or increased seeding if germination is low, and cites ISU lab records showing high nonviable oat clover and soy seed rates. Legg recommends purity and noxious weed tests for seed sellers and checking the Iowa Agricultural Seed Law for labeling.
