Remedy for Smut In Oats and Wheat

Remedy tor Smut In Oats and Wheat.
The Department of Agriculture Of
the University of Minnesota has issued
a bulletin calling attention to the prev
alence of smut in oats, and the conse-
quent reduction in yield. It shows
that the smut spores are not in the
field but in the seed, and recommends
the following as safe and sure rem
edy:
To so gallons of water add one
pound Of formaldehyde, sometimes
called formaline, q disinfectant sold
by druggists in forty per cent solu-
ton of water. Place the solution of
formaldebyde and water in large bar.
rels. Place about two bushels of the
seed oats in each large loosely woven
gunny sack. Submerge the sacks OF
grain for twenty minutes in the solu
ton, lift and drain for a few minutes
and empty ON barn floor or on a
canvass to dry. Treat few days be-
fore seeding, and by shoveling the
grain over q few times facilitate dry
ing and avoid heating. The treated
oats can be sown with q force feed
dill or seeder when quite damp, but
the machine should be set to SOW
about peck more than if sowing dry
seed. The wetting of the oats causes
them to sprout a few days earlier and
the formaldehyde does not injure the
terminating power of the seed.
The same method as above outlined
will kill sinking smut in wheat. Here
the absence of hulls, which in oats
protect some spores, makes it pract' =
cable to use an easier method of treat
ment. Spread the wheat six inches
deep on the barn floor or in a wagon
box. Sprinkle on the mass sufficient
of the solution, of one pound of form
aldehyde in fifty gallons of water, to
merely wet the surface of every kernel
of wheat. Shovel the wheat over a
few times while sprinkling on the
water to insure that every portion OF
every kernel is covered by film OF
the solution. Occasional stirring is
necessary for rapid drying and to pre-.
vent termination before sowing. The
grain should not be sacked unless
thoroughly dried. 1t is best when
treating only enough seed for home
use to apply the liquid two or three
days previous to sowing the grain. II
will be necessary to open the drill q
little wider in, sowing than if the whea,
were untreated. Persons who are
making business of growing seed
grain for sale will find it advantage
Gus to treat each year all oats OF
wheat which are to be planted to grow
seeds for use or sale the next year.

MAY PROVE BANKRUPT.
Game in Venezuela Will Likely Prove
a Costly One.


London, Dec. 11.-Great Britain is
practically at war with Venezuela but
there is no disposition here to regard
the situation as particularly serious No
dispatches have been received as yet
from the commander OF the British
squadron. who will be compelled to
send dispatches from Willemstadt,
Curacao, but unofficial news of the
seizure of the Venezuelan fleet and OF
President Castro's reprisals is regarded
as quite trustworthy.
The morning papers, commenting on
the situation, recognize the possibility
of awkward complications arising, but
are disposed 10 believe that President
Castro, after making a show of de-
fiance. may be brought to reason with
out the allied powers having recourse
to the seizure of customs
It is pointed out that by arresting the
German and British residents President
Castro has weakened his position and
put himself outside the pale of inter
national law, beside offending the
United States. One paper suggests that
the seizure of the customs has been de-
layed in Difference of the objections of
the United States in landing troops,
and points out that the blockade of
Venezuela will only injure British,
American and German trade.
Other papers discuss the enormous
expense and difficulty of conducting
military operations in such a difficult
country should President Castro main
tain a defiant attitude, and the ques-
ton of the utility of spending millions
of pounds sterling in coercing a country
which cannot be annexed and is likely
to prove bankrupt.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Electric Current Passes Through
the Body of One Man and In
stantIy Kills His Partner.

Livermore, Cal, Dec. 10.-There was
an extraordinary accident near here
tonight, in which one man lost his life
and another was seriously hurt. Mich
aeI Toohey and l. NJ. Mechanism, line
men in the employ of the Standard
Electric company, were out inspecting
wires and stepped into a telephone
booth on the road to telephone to an
other point. Mechanism was using the
telephone and stood on the flooring of
the booth. Toohey stood outside Of
the little structure, his feet resting on
the ground, made damp by a recent
shower. Toohey, in friendly fashion,
placed his hands on the shoulders Of
his comrade while the latter was talk
ing. Suddenly Mechanism was stricken
down, stunned, and when he recovered
consciousness he found Toohey lying
dead at the door of the booth.
An explanation of the death is given
by the fact that the power wires and
the telephone wire are strung on the
same poles. 1t is believed that a strong
current was passed to the telephone
wire, went through Mechanism and CEN
tered its force on Toohey, whose feet,
touching the wet ground, completed the
circuit. Toohey was % years old. Nc
Kamish will recover.

WILL NOT BE REPEALED
House Committee Thinks the
Present Land Laws Serve
Their Purpose.
tspecial 10 - Herald.l

Especial TO The Herald.)
Washington, D. c., Dec. 10.-The
committee on public lands today put
a quietus on the bill introduced by
Powers of Massachusetts,, proposing the
repeal of the desert land act, timber
and stone act and communication clause
of soldiers homestead act. The bill
was discussed informally, but thor
oughly, and was opposed by all mem
bers from arid and semi arid states.
Messrs. Shafroth and Monden con-
tended that the repeal of the present
land acts would greatly retard deveI-
oPment in Colorado and Wyoming. It
was admitted generally by all of the
committee that the present laws are
adequate, and if rigidly administered
by the land Office officials frauds would
be reduced to a minimum.
If any change should be made it
should be that timber lands west of
the Rocky mountains should be in
creased in price in proportion to their
greater value than timber lands east
o. the ranges.
Chairman Lacy, who had introduced
bill to repeal the desert land act
and communication act of the homestead
law, said he had done so under a mis-
apprehension of the facts, and gave
notice that he would not press il. While
no formal vote was taken, the COM
mlJIee pracucaIly agreed that there
would be no bill reported by it this
session to disturb the present laws
In discussion of the matter Chair
man Lacy made the significant state
ment that at some future time that
clause of the irrigation bill passed at
the last session providing that set
tiers pay for water rights will be re-
pealed, and that the government will
stand the entire expense of reclama-
ton projects without requiring settlers
to pay any share of the same.
The committee authorized Mr.. Mon
dell to report favOrably a bill passed
by the senate, introduced at the last
session by Senator Warren, providing
for resurvey of sixty-four townships
or land in the Big Horn country, Wyo-
ming, with an amendment adding six
teen additional townships.
Senator Dubois today introduced n
bill providing that lands within five
miles of PocatellO, Ida, offered for sale
under the act opening Fort Hall reser-
walton, July Il last, and remaining
unsold. shall be subject TO entry and
sale under the provisions of section )
of an act which prescribes the price
on agricultural lands at $3.50 per acre
and grazing lands at SI.20. The price
fixed upon land in the five-mile limit
was $40 per acre, which price is con-
sidered 3rohibitive.

WAR ON THE CANTEEN
National Anti-Saloon League De-
clares it Will Attempt to De-
feat Repeal Measure.

Washington. Dec. 1O.-The most i'm
portant action of the National Anti
Saloon league. now holding its annual
session here, was the unanimous adop-
ton of an address to the public on the
army canteen question in which the
charge is made that high army officials
have persistently pursued a course ex-
tremely unfavorable to the anti-can-
teen law of congress. The address
pledges the association to do it ut
most to defeat any attempt to repeal
the law until it has had a full and
fair trial, and says:
High army officials have most per-
sistently pursued a course extremely
unfriendly to this law and pursued it
in a way that has thrown the whole
influence of the war department, with
the soldiers, on the side of the distrust
of and dissa tisfaction with the law
and have persistently published mis-
leading reports concerning the effects
of the law.
THE Anti-Saloon league declares it.
self unalterably opposed to the repeal
of the anti-canteen law, and pledges to
do its utmost, by petition, by agitation
and by ballot, to defeat any attempt
10 repeal this law until il has had a
full and fair trial, and that it will not
cease the agitation until the public and
those who control the army understand
that liquor selling in the army can
teen is a question of national morality
and not alone of military regulation,
and that the issue is whether hand
full of officers can safely define the ex-
pressed moral sentiment of the nation
or can successfully convince the peo-
pie that a saloon is a temperance So
ciety when conducted in the army
1.-THE committee on legislation of the
National Anti-Saloon league is fully
authorized to adopt such measures as
they may deem most effective to de-
feat any and all efforts to re-legalize
the selling of alcoholic liquors in the
army canteen-
