When the stranger arrives at Seville

pearls which are their finest decora-

last year % per cent OF the oat crop
Of that State was destroyed. by q
smut The amount In bushels LOST
sast year 10 placed by the Wisconsin
agricultural college professors 1t To-
OOO. 900 bushels. This loss occurred ID
q year when the oat crop was very
short. Professor Henry says that his
1900! 900 bushels could have been
thrown ON the market without depress-
ing the market price OF oats materiai-
". In case OF . big crop OF oats
throughout the country such IN soai-
ton would depress the price some, but
not under conditions that existed iast
season.
This 6 1000. 900 bushels OF oats could
have been saved to Wisconsin farmers
II they had followed the advice hat
has been 80 repeatedly given them oy
the experiment station. For years
now bulletins have been widely circu-
lated through the state. telling Inc
farmers how to treat their seed oaU
10 o to avoid the smut In addltion
Professor Henry secured the puoiica-
ton Of his instructions In this mat
ter In more than 800 local papers pub
lished in the state. But in spite OF
Oh these thiags 1t Il the BELIEF OF the
professor that not one farmer in 5000
treated his seed oats last spring. he
nys that the farmers are finding fault
because their taxes are high and COM
plain OF $500. 900 being spent on schools
In the state, while they have permitted
oat smut alone to rob them OF many
times the amount. Moreover. oat smut
% increasing SO rapidly In the sCate
that II the farmers do not begin TO
treat their seed oats they Will In q
few years have to 90 out OF the Ousl-
ness Of growing oats.
Professor Moore made some expert
meuts to determine the rapidly with
which oat smut increases. He sowed
some seed oats In which about two per
cent oe the grains were smutted. The
resulting crop had ten per cent OF
smut. That seed q planted and the
next e o had twenty per cent OF smut
Seed from that crop gave q crop OF
oats having 81 per cent of smut This
shows what is likely to happen II the
farmers do not heed the advice given
them.
Smut spores do not live over In the
ground. being unable to survive the
winter. They are carried over only In
the seed. This seed may be made safe
by soaking in water and Tornado
hyde; the combination should be one
pound Of formaldehyde to SO gallons
of water. The oats should be put In
sacks and dipped into the solution. BE-
ing left there for twenty minutes or
more. An hour will not hurt them.
What II true of Wisconsin as TO smut
is also true of many other states In
the Union where oats are grown ex-
tensively. Everywhere the farmers
should dip their oats to prevent the
smut.

There are two systems for carrying

pearls are rather small. They usually
