AGRICULTURAL BRIEFS
Flax is not as tender as is commonly believed. It may be planted as early as April 15 in most sections of South Dakota.
Black stem rust and stinking smut are the two worst disease of wheat in South Dakota. Early planting and the use of resistant varieties reduces the loss caused by smut, stinking smut can be controlled by thoroughly cleaning and treating the seed.
The ultar violet rays of sunshine are important in the production of strong healthy chicks. Leg weakness which is very common in early hatched chicks may be prevented by allowing the chicks to be out in the sunshine by the time they are 10 days old.
