The disease affects both yield and grain quality. It adversely affects color, odor and payability of flour and other foodstuffs made from wheat. It does not present a risk to human health. March 27, a quarantine has been imposed on the movement of grains and other host materials into Utah from areas affected by the fungus, kamal bunt, a fungi disease of wheat, durum wheat and triticale. The areas under quarantine include the state of Arizona and certain areas of New Mexico and Texas. Utah Commissioner of Agriculture, Cary G. Peterson, is calling for a statewide survey of wheat and wheat seed products in Utah to detect the presence of the kamal bunt fungus. Utah wheat farmers and wheat seed dealers should check their inventory immediately for wheat or wheat seed purchased from Arizona suppliers during the past several months.

In addition to aiding research, funds raised last year went to help many Utahns in different ways. For example, 165 children attended Camp Hobe, a summer camp for children with cancer. The toll free number answered by trained volunteers received and responded to over 1 ,200 calls from throughout the state for information about cancer and services for cancer patients.
