There was considerable smutty wheat
in this section last year, and the differ
ence it makes in the price should cause
every farmer to take great care in pro-
curing the best seed that can be obtain
ed this spring. The following is said
to be an efficaciOus remedy for smut II
applied to seed according to directions.
It has been thoroughly tried by the
government experiment station Of
North Dakota, and Is officially recon-
mended. The formula and method Of
treating the seed are as follows: Dis
solve pound Of blue vitr0l in four
gallOns OF water; also make up q guam
tity Of lime water, q pound of quick
lime In ten gallons Of water, or you can
use air Stacked lime. Pile the wheat
an the floor an spray 1t, shoveling rap
idly. A sprinkler can be used for this
purpose. Constant shoveling and care
10 the spraying is very important. One
half hour iater spray on some Of the
lime water, or II you use air slaked
lime, dust IL th0rOughly into the wheat.
Sow all treated wheat a. Don as posi-
Bile. The idea Ii II vet each grain Ill
over, but a. tho same time to allow IL to
coax up . little Of the solution a. pos
sible.
