hero fl oneway disc wasln operation a goodly percentage of this in crease acreage will be sown to the variety cornell 505 this variety is now more popular than the old relinblc dawsons golden chaff experimental work oft both guelph and ottawa has resulted in two to three bushels more per acre from cornell than pawsons however the big advantage we personally note is that- the cornell variety is much flratcurfisjstant to loose smut unfortunately thcro is no very practical treatment for loose smut in wheat so consequently resist ance to loose smut is a factor which we cant afford to overlook that doesnt mean it isnt necessary to treat your seed wheat against ball or stinking smut one has only to have a dose of this such as another halton farmer we called on at threshing time recently to be sold on the idea of using one of the dust treatments such os ceresan fortunately there is plenty of the cornell variety in halton and the price suggested by the seed mark eting committee of- the

department at the oac 100 lbs per acre drilled in is equal to 25 lbs sown broadcast- so gov ern yourself accordingly as to the brand of fertilizer to use this will depend on the previous cropping
