At recent Wisconsin dairymen's

smut in the oat crop cost the farmers
of that state more than 100000 an
nually, and that they could avoid such
enormous loss by applying simple
remedy to the seed grain, says the
Wisconsin Farmer. One pound of 40
per cent. formaldehyde dissolved in so
gallons of water sprinkled over so
bushels Of oats and thoroughly SHOW
eled over, would kill the smut spores,
thus freeing the seed of the germ
that causes smut. Seventy-fve cents
worth of the drug will treat so bush.

about this simple and inexpensive
remedy and fails to profit thereby
has not his own interest at heart.
