of the wheat to be sown in a strong
solution of bluestone water and its re-
naming there for two or more hours.
NV practice is to dry with land
plaster, which though small in guam

about one pound of bluestone to six or
eight gallons of water. and then pre-
serve this liquor for the next soaking
and adding more water and bluestone
as needed 1 pulverize the bluestone
and dissolve it in a small quantity
of hot water before putting 1t

Smut in Wheat---Its Cause and REM

In view of the fact that great many
fields of wheat are this year injured by
smut. farmers are discussing the causes
and remedies for it.
A few days since / was talRing over
these matters with an intelligent neigh
bor (for / have that kind), and we
compared our opinions and experience.
An examination had shown US that
wherever we had found one smut head
all the heads produced from same grain
were smut, and so we concluded that
we must look to the grain for the cause
of smut. We decided upon four pro-
life causes of smut: First, if we sowed
smut we raised smut. Second, if we
sowed even good wheat in land too wet
to be worked we raised smut. Third,
If we sowed wheat too late in the sea-
son we raised smut. Fourth, if we
sowed a very feeble grain, whether
that feebleness. came from the wheat
being unripe when harvested or any
other cause, we would raise more OF
less smut.
Ws also agreed that travelling wheat
threshers carried the smut germ from
one farm 10 another. But We disa

grains cracked and bruised by ma
