During the summer while} . the corn is growing the smut germs ‘ move about as dust in the winds and find lodging on the corn. The fun-| , nel shaped pockets in the tops of corn and the pockets at the base of * the leaves collect dust and water. When the “germs or spores lodge in pockets containing moisture they be- ina short while form the smut gall which we now see | in the corn fields. “Corn smut is not particular about which part of the plant to grow | When the parasite attacks the ears the grain usually When other parts of the plants a ‘smutted, such as the leaves, tassels, silks und nodes, the amount of loss is hard to estimate. Often the plants lare broken over, sometimes by the ex- weight of the amut.galls and sometimes by the weakening of parts where the smut growth comes out. In one way or another smut is caus- ing heavy losses in some fields. rowers have asked whether| silage made from these smutted ears nd stalks will injure cattle. It is very true that these smut galls have an ugly appearance and some may, | hesitate to feed them to a fine lot of cattle. However, so far us is). known corn smut has never caused any disease or ill effects when fed to leattle. In experiments conducted by | the experiment stations of South Da- kota, Kansas, Michigan and the Unit- tates Department of Agriculture ‘¢ fed corn smut in heavy: | amounts.

Jnfieléa where this means f control is impracgical it is neces- 'y to rotate crops. Smut resistant corns have not been developed yet! but plant breeders are having some in this direction.
