Janson, Ohio State Univer sity Extension plant pathologist. Isolations from numerous sam ples of corn fiom South Central and Northwestern Ohio revealed the presence of the fungus which causes Southern Corn Leaf Blight, he says. If this corn is shelled or fed to hogs (whole ear), cobs can be come a source of inoculum for establishing the disease in the 1971 corn crop. This happened already in an isolated field in Southwestern Illinois May 14, 1971. Janson explains that the corn leaf blight fungus may be in the cobs left from shelling opera tions Under wet conditions, cobs can produce a crop of spores in 24 to 48 hours Spores are readily carried to nearby corn fields by wind or other means. The specialist urges those with crib corn to stop shelling from now until late summer If it is necessary to do so, burn the cobs or store them under dry condi tions to prevent them becoming a source of the disease Try A Clossified Ad It Pays!
