Russia's Poverty as a Peace Ince ntive.

1t transpres that not the least mo-

A REMEDY FOR SMUT In OATS.

E. S. Golf, Horticulturist, Wiscon-
sin Experiment Station, has used
circular letter conveying the following
important information:
The loss to the farmers of Wiscon-
sin due to smut in oats amounts to
hundred of thousands of dollars
annually, all of which may be saved
by treating the seed oats before plant
ing, at very slight cost.
A method for preventing oat smut
has now been found that this is cheap
and simple. All that is necessary is
to thoroughly saturate the seed oats
with a solution made by adding one
pound of formalin to 30 gallons of
water. allowing the seed to remain
saturated for two hours, before
spreading them to dry.
To use this remedy, place a layer
of oats 3 or 4 inches thick on the
barn floor and sprink lie them with the
formalin solution until they are en-
tirely wet. Then another layer may
be placed on top of the first layer and
sprinkled as before, repeating the
process until all the seed oats have
been sprinkled. Then leave them in
the pile for two hours, when they
should be spread out thinly to dry.
They should be shoveled over once or
twice day until dry. If they are
to be sowu broadcast, it will not be
necessary to dry them.
Formalin,may be purchased at any
drug store, and costs from 50 to 30
cents per pound. About one gallon
of the solution is enough 20
sprinkle bushel of oats, hence one
pound of formalin is enough to treat
30 bushels OF seed oats.
Formaliu is not dangerous 70 use,
and does not corrode the flesh. The
oats will not be likely to be INJURED
BY it, even if left in the pile some
what longer then two hours.
