The following reports are of spe- cial in t ere at in this oonnddtion; Ohio: Of less average importance. A few fields v/ere seen in nor- thern Ohio in v/hich the infest^; tion estimated at 5 to In most fields, however, the of smut was negligible. Increased interest in seed treatment is regarded .-s one in this con- dition. Ov/ing to adverse weather conditions in e-rly spring, dif- ficulty was experienced in fitting the soil for oats and a large part of the pl.^nting v/as unusually late.^ It is suggested that the late planting was followed by conditions for growth with the result that the period was shortened during which the seedlings were in the favorable stage for smut infection. (V/, J. Young, Aug. 15). Illinois; Present throughout the state, probably causing considerable loss. Early spring rains prevented planting until lute, resulting in a poor crop in many places. Hence, the total loss from smuts this season should be less than usual. (L. R. Tchon, I5).
