Smut in Wheat-A Sure Preventive.
GREENvILLE, S. c.. Oct. 5, 1868.

G~REENyILLE, S.. G. Oct. 5, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR: | saw twelve months
ago, in a newspaper, an article taken
from some old German or English paper,
on the use of chamber ley as a preven-
tive to smut in wheat. Blue stone being
very dear, and difficult to obtain, l re-
solved upon trying the Icy with my seed
last fall, which | did, the result proving
to be a certain and sure remedy; for, Of
a weld of some 800 bushels made from
the seed used with the ley, | did not find
a single head of smut, though my seed
was not free from smut. A neighbor and
friend of mine made the same expert.
ment, giving it a fairsr trial, sowing the
same kind of seed, using the ley with
some, while the rest he sowed without it
that he used the ley with resulting as
mine-the other seed badly smutted.
The direction as to using the ley in
the article referred to, was, to put the
seed in a basket and sink it in a barrel
containing the ley, not allowing it to re-
main but a few seconds; then, after drain
ing it over the barrel, to roll the seed on
a floor in slaked lime or strong wood
ashes. I, however, let my seed remain
in the liquor some two or three minutes.
MOULD further state, by keeping it sew
eral weeks does not injure the strength
of the ieJ.
Wheat sowing being nov at hand, Mr.
Editor, I give the above information as
rendering a service to the country.
