!, The Michigan experiment station
e8timates that the loss to that state
last year in the oat crop alone, caus ed
by smut, was not less than 81, 100000.
The station claims that the smut can
be entirely prevented by the use Of
the hot water. method of treatment,
which is as follows:
u The farmer may use his ingenuity
in regard to the treating of his wheat
and oats, and use whatever convent
ence he has at hand anyway SO that,
he accomplish the desired result.
One way we find convenient is to
have a kettle in. which to heat the
water quite hot, say 165 degrees.
Near this kettle place a barrel in
which to treat the seed Fill this
barrel about one half full Of hot water
from the kettle and then by adding
either hot or cold water, the tempera-
ture of the water in the barrel may
be kept at the desired height. a
It will be found very convenient to
have the barrel in which the seed is
to be treated sunk into the ground
$50 that the top is only q foot or SO
above the surface.
Into this barrel dip the seed.
The dipping IS easily done by
placing about bushel Of seed into q
coarse gunny sack, and fasten this
sack to one end Of q long pole used
as q lever hung across q notched post.
The seed should be kepu moving
all the time while il the not Watel

done. 5. !.
