H. Craigie of the Dominion Rust Research Labratory, Winnipeg, addressing members of the Canadian Seed Growers Asscciation, at Saskatoon.Referring to seed-treat- ment as a protection against smuts and mot rots. Dr. Craigie said that never in the history of agriculture have remedial measures been so ef- fective, simple and inexpensive. He explained that when seed is treated with organic mercury dust not only are externally-borne organisms d‘e- stroyed but the fungicide on the seed affords considerable protection to the igerminating seed and young seed- ‘lings against soil-inhabiting parasi- itic organisms such as these which cause damping-{off and; seedling blights. Dr. Craigie commenced the growing practice by seed-houses of treating much of their seed before distributing it and believed the prac- tice would soon be general. Something might be done, he thought, to instill into the grower a consciousness that to grow a diseased crop is an un- neighborly act. just as it is to al-V low one’s farm to become run over with weeds. In some districts central treating plants might be established in others a portable seed-treating outfit might be used. H. J.
