Last spring the state experiment Sta
ton issued q bulletin from st. Paul call
ing attention to the great prevalence Of
wheat smut in the state of Minnesota,
and to the fact that there was over 81
100000 loss to the wheat of the state be-
cause careful attention was not paid to
prevent this disease. The state grain
inspection department makes the state
ment that the disease has very rapidly
increased during the present season, es-
pecially in sections of the country whore
Fife wheat is raised. Many newspapers
printed extracts from the foregoing bull
letin. It is understood that some farm
ers in numerous localities tried the rem
edy therein suggested. The station now
requests that every farmer who tried this
or other remedies will report at an early
date his method of treatment and it's
success to w. M. Hays, university farm,

Editor Elmquist, of the Rush City Post,
was in St. Paul last Saturday, and voiced
trict who are making complaints against
the manner employed by the relief COM
mission in distributing the funds placed
/ in their hands. He said many persons
claim that the commission reports that
it has extended aid to early twice as
many persons as remained alive in the
burned district, and also that the cost Of
! distribution by the method the commits
sion employed was SO per cent of the en-
tire fund. Editor Elmquist was of the
opinion that the chief difficulty arose
from the fact that Gov. Nelson, in ap-
pointing the commission, failed to place
thereon any person residing in the
burned district. This aroused the en-
nifty of many in that region, and has
made them out Of sympathy with tho
commission and inclined to criticize it's
work. K meth Clark, treasurer of the
commission, claims that the cost of dis.
tributlng the funds was not more than
from to Z per cent, and that no persons
we're aided until their credentials were
1wett established d"-sa 1fffe says the 4kickers
are only very small percentage of the
Hinckley residents, and that their estim-
ate of the number of survivors to be aided
is based upon the population only of
that immediate vicinity. He further
states that full record of every case has
been kept, and that it will be published
| in due time.
