The present military emergency threatens the supply of copper and mercury for fungicidal use. Copper carbonate and organic mercury compounds, notably ethyl mercuric phosphate, are the active ingredients of standard dust fungicides used in treating sorghum seed for protection of the germinating seed from soil and seedborne, seed-rotting fungi and for covered smut control.(2,4). In the event of enforced restriction of manufacture and sale of copper and mercuric fungicidal materials, two alternatives may confront the grower who nevertheless wishes to treat his sorghum seed. They are: reduce the dosage of copper or mercury, or, use a substitute material which is …

Abundant agricultural production is a victory goal and in South Dakota is based on an abundance of feed, forage and cash field crops and an adequate home vegetable and fruit supply. On the other hand, soil conservation and the maintenance of South Dakota’s agricultural productivity depends on a practice of moderate rather than wholesale over-cropping of cultivated land. Shortages of labor and machinery place a definite limit on the amount of really good farming that can be done it South Dakota for the duration of the war. One of the ways to insure maximum crop production from a minimum of …

Sorghum Smut Control By Seed Treatment, W.F. Buckhholtz

Sorghum smut is the black sooty degeneration of all the kernels of the sorghum ear. The ear is lost for feed in grain sorghum and smutted oars in forage result in lowered nutritive value and palatability of the fodder. It is estimated that 5-10 percent of the sorghum grown in South Dakota farmers will probably plant nearly 2,000,000 acres of sorghum, probably plant nearly 500,000 acres for grain. The grain loss from smut will probably fall between 250,000 and 500,000 bushels and the total loss at least a million bushels of feed. The loss is entirely and easily preventable. Treatment …
