Treatment of cereal seed / J.E. Machacek, R.C. Russell and L.E. Tyner. : A12-8/161-1950E-PDF
"The best seed available to the farmer is Registered or Certified seed. Ordinary seed, however, can be greatly improved by proper cleaning and treating. ... The smuts are probably the most important seedborne diseases of cereals in Canada. About three out of every 1000 carloads of wheat passing through Winnipeg during the past several years have been graded "smutty" on account of bunt (stinking smut). Smut in barley and oats is also common and heavy losses from smut occur in these crops in some districts. On account of their importance, the smuts are given special consideration in this publication"--p. 3.
