CORN DAMAGE
BY ROOT ROTS
Meant a Loss of More Than
$200,000,000 to 1919 Crop
Estimates Show.
Corn, of one variety or another, is
our most widely distributed cereal
crop. Therefore, any single disease
that takes a to!! of 4 per cent is a
matter for serious consideration.
The United Slates Department oi
Agriculture estimates the damage
done by corn root rots in 1!)1!) at over
125,000,000 bushels. Multiplied by
the average price of corn Tor that
year, we have before us the unpleasant
fact that these rots exacted a tax
of over $200,000,000.
When it is considered that one of
the same organisms which causes
corn root rot also causes wheat scab
and that these organisms carried over
on corn stubble may infect a field of

j Corn root rots are among* the most
deceptive diseases known to agricul-;
I tui*e, say specialists of the United
J States Dept. of Agriculture. They!
I affect the kernels of corn in such a?
I way that while they germinate they I

(plants which may die in early stagesi
or produce infected corn. These dis-j
eases weaken the plants at the lower;
joints, and if they come to maturity!
the damage is perpetuated.
Theoretically, corn root rot is pre-:
ventable; practically, it is so to a1
large measure. If all corn stubble,j
; weeds, and grasses that act as winter
i hosts could ho removed and destroyed,
there could be little lodgment for
corn root rot. Rut to carry out such
r control measure is not practicable.
There is a better, more practical way
to prevent the disease, namely; see'
ing that none but healthy seed goes
I into the ground, and that the young
I plants have the privilege of being
I "born right." There is only one
known method of assuring perfect
| seed and that is the improved ger'j
mination tost. It is necessary for
j farmers wishing to avoid corn root
rot to germinate kernels from every
ear of corn to be used for seed. The
simplest method of making a test is
by means of an improved rag-doll
germinator. This, in its essential
features, consist of nothing more
than a broad strip of muslin backed
by moistureproof fiber paper. Rows
of seed kernels are placed on (lie
cloth which is rolled up and left in a
warm box. The results are, of
course, checked against the ears from
which the kernels were taken, and
only perfect, or nearly perfect, ear?
are kept for seed. This germinatoi
is very simple and furnishes a practi1
cally complete test.
' Bleached or unbleached muslin car
be used for the raj; doll. The cloth
which usually comes in 54 in. width
is torn across into 12 inch strips
54 inches long. Before being use<
the cloth is boiled, and it should b<
damp when the seed are placed on it
This cloth is laid on a strip of p;laze<
paper, a little longer than the cloth

These rap: dolls are placed on end
in the germinating box, which is
about 1 by 2 feet and 18 inches deep,;
with wire or other partitions to keep
the dolls apart. The box has damp
gunnysacks on the bottom, and is!
placed inside of a larger box, the'
space between being insulated with
damp sawdust. The rag dolls are|
sprinkled twice daih, and at the end
of seven days are taken out, unrolled |

the sprouts is a guide to the quality!
of the seed. If more than one seed
shows signs of infection, the infected
ear is thrown out. If the farmer has
I enough corn it is best to throw out
an ear lor a single bp/1 kernel.

land every effort should be made to

is that root rot affects corn and!

POTATOES TAKING OLD RANK
AS AMERICAN STAPLE FOOD
With the continuing drop in price,
potatoes have receded from their temporary
status as a delicacy, and are
assuming their old rank as a great
American staple food. This is to be
assumed trom iigures lately coin pi led
by thu Bureau of Crop Estimates,
United States Department of Agriculture,
which shows that between
harvest time, and January 1, this
year, 287,172,000 bushels of tubers
were moved off from the farms on
their way to the table. This is 50,71)1),000
bushels more than left the
farms in the corresponding period a
year ag.>, or a half bushel additional
for every man, woman and child in
the United States.
The potato crop of 1020 was the
largest in the history of the country,
amounting to <130,458,000 bushels, and
of these only 145,280,000 bushels were
estimated as remaining in the hands
of growers and dealers January 1. In
I DID the crop was 355,773,000 bushel?
and the amount in the hands of the
growers January 1, 11)20, was estimator!
te 127.400.000 bushels.
