"Spring is opening up here, after an

A bulletin just received from the
state experiment station at Madison
gives some interesting information on
the subject OF sugar beet culture in Wis
consiD. and the present status OF the
manufacture of sugar from the beet root
in the United States. We Gull the fol-
lowing few facts from the bulletin as to
the results OF the work done during the
past season, 253 samples of beets grown
in Sc different counties of the state,
were received for analysis ct the station
last fall; the beets were all grown from
high grade imported sugaI beet seed
furnished by the station. The average
analysis of the samples came at Is 10
per cent. sugar in the juice, with a
purity co-efficient of 1873 per cent; this
corresponds to about 144 per cent sugar
in the beets; or "a per cent. above the
ordinary factory standard. The average
yield of beets, cal ,ulated from the re-
ports Of rs farmers, was 1876 tons per
acre. The crop of beets raised by Wis
consin farmers last year therefore con-
tanned an average of 1920 pounds OF
sugar per acre, from which the sugar
manufacture will make nearly ton and
a half of granulated sugar.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS,
A Remedy for Smut in Oats-It VIII Save |
Them Thousands In Money with Little |
ERfnrt Or Err rdisura

A Remedy for Smut in Oats-It Will Save
Them Thousands In Money with Little
Effort or Expenditure.
The loss to the farmers of Wisconsin
due to smut In oats amounts to hum
dreds of thousands of dollars annuallr.
all of which may be saved by treating
che seeds before planting, at very
slight cost. A method for preventing
oat smut has now been found that is
cheap and simple. All that is necessary
is to thoroughly saturate the seed oats
with solution made by adding one
pound of formalin to so gallons of water,
allowing the seed oats to remain satu-
rated for two hours before you spread
them nut to dry.
To use this remedy, place layer OF
oats three or four inches thick on the
barn floor and sprinkle them with the
formalin solution until they are entirely
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. II they
are to be sown broadcast, it will not be
necessary to dry them.
Formalin may be purchased at any
drug store, and costs from 30 to so
cents per pound. About one gallon of
the solution is enough to sprinkle
bushel of oats, hence one pound of
formalin is enough to treat fifty bushels
of seed oats. Formalin is not danger
GUS to use, and does MOI corrode the
flesh. The oats will not be likely to be
injured by it, even if left in the pile
somewhat longer than two hours.
