Mr. George L. Sutton reports in Agricultural Gazette that beading wheat for this season can be pickled with bluestone or bluestone and limewater during the month if the seed is thoroughly dried after treatment. Drying is essential. partially dried seed clogs drills, reducing vigor and causing damage. Trials show that even bone dry grain may not sow as freely after bluestone limewater treatment. For best results, use bluestone alone or ensure complete drying. Bordeaux mixture lacks conclusive support as a smut preventive. Some growers risk using formalin, but cautions advise treating seed only when needed and not when conditions are too dry.
