Gus fact that the letter M in al

be found in the word which stands

owing to its representing a sound

to utter, and is one of the first sounds

els per acre received but forty-fve
bushels. In other words, the former
lost 100 bushels OF oats. This is a
low estimate, for in no case where
farmers actually counted the smutted
stocks did the per cent fall below s,
and IN many cases it reached twenty.
Farmers should not conclude that
they had no smut because they did
not happen to see it. In the case of
oats the smut Is mostly blown off be-
fore harvest, and the smutted stalks
being shorter than the healthy ones
are not readily observed.
The spores or seed of smut attach
themselves to the kernels of wheat or
oats and are sown with them. When
the kernel of wheat or oats germinats
the smut spores also germinate and
enter the young plant. growing and
subsIstlng on the inside of the plant
until finally, when the head appears,
it Is smut instead of wheat or oats.
It has cost nearly or quite as much
to grow the affected plant as the
healthy one Certain conditions of
.he soil or weather may be more fav-
orable to the growth of smut than
others, but it should be distinctly un-
derstood that it's presence is not due
to any condition of soil or weather.
If a farmer sows smut he will reap
smut. In the case OF oats the wind
NAV carry the loose, poWdery smut
over the fields and the spores become
attached to the kernels of oats. These
spores are SO small that they cannot
be seen with the naked eye unless
there are many together, but they are
there ready to grow when the oats
are sown. The thrashing machine Is
probably the most effective way OF
bringing the spores of smut into con
| tact with the wheat and oat seed. A
single kernel may have thousands of
these spores attached to it, yet they
may not be observed. The thrashing
machine becomes a ready means of
carrying the spores from one farm to
another.
It has been found that these adher-
ing spores may be killed by dipping
the seed into hot water for a few mo-
ments and yet not injure the vitality
+ of the seed. The farmer may use his
ingenuity in regard to treating his
wheat and oats, and use whatever con-
veDiences he has at hand-aRy way
so that he accomplishes the desired
result. One way that has been found
convenient at the Agricultural college
experiment station is to heat the wa
ter in kettle quite hot, say 165 de-
grees. Near this kettle place a bar
rel in which to treat the seed. Fill
this barrel about half full of hot wa
te-. and then by adding either hot or
cold water the temperature of the wa
ter to be used may be kept at the de-
sired height. Into this barrel the
seed should be dipped. This dip
| ping IS easily done by placing about

bushel of seed into a coarse gunny
sack and fastening this sack to the
end of a long pole hung across a
kept moving all the time while in the
hot water, and by using the pole this
is easily done.
Oats may be treated just before
sowing. After taking them out of
the hot water 1T is best to throw cold
water over them to cool them, and
then let them stand and dram two or
three hours. Then they may be sown
broadcast. Wheat dries much more
readily, and spread out Immediately
after treatment and left to dry for a
few hours, it can then be sown broad
cast or in a force feed mill. As the
grains will be considerably swollen
after treatment, it is we'll to regulate
the drill to feed from one or two
pecks more per acre than with dry
seed.
It will readily be seen that this sim
pie method is within the reach of ev-
cry farmer. All that Is needed is one
kettle, one or two barrels and coarse
sack. Two men In single day can
treat enough oats to SOW twenty acres
and enough wheat to SOW forty acres.
One caution to be observed is that of
using no bags or dishes for treated
seed that have been used for the IN
treated seed unless they have first
been scalded. The water should be
at 1875 degrees when the seed is first
put in. Allow the grain to remain in
the water for five minutes and keep
the temperature above 40 degrees.
If it Is difficult to do this it may be
found convenient to dip the seed into
barrel containing water at about 100
| legrees, for the purpose of warming
it before putting it into the barrel in
| which it is to be treated.
