cont. This formula can be secured from

Point is to have a full head containing
well developed grains. A yield of 20

one pound of bluestone is sufficient to

bluestone in boiling hot water then pour

few hours in the solution will be suffi-
cient. All that is necessary is to let the
grains come in contact with the solution,
and the smut germ will be killed The
smut germ is a parasitic plant which
adheres to the grains, and if not killed

The mischief is done This is a quick,
simple method of preventing smut. which
is more disastrous to the wheat crop than
anything else if left alone to do its work.
No wheat is immune from smut that
has not been treated. Wheat free from
smut may be thrashed on a machine Gov
cred with smut pores ard the grain il
fected for the next year.
There is no safer or surer crop to plant.
Wheat will mature q crop every year, and
If not wanted for bread, it is equally as
good if not better, for stock than oats.
If planted for stock, it should be Gus
and made into hay when the heads are
in the early dough stage. All work ami
mails will keep in splendid condition fed
on wheat hay, and the fear of saving an
oat crop need not longer worry us when
we can accomplish the same end with
wheat. In many sections wheat is grown
for stock alone and either fed upon the
farm or baled and shipped to marker,
where it always commands high price.
Baled wheat hay will net more dollars
per acre to the grower than the threshed
wheat. The cost of handling is less and
the price obtained is greater. The demand
is always good, not only on, the farm,
but in the city markets. The opportunity
presented this fall for sowing wheat was
never more propitious. 1t should be gen
orally taken advantage of. Make your
bread and meat at home. Plant for the
table and for the barn yard. Prepare your
lands now and plant in the latter days
of the present month. Do not postpone
this most important matter The returns
next spring and summer will far exceed
your expectations. Georgia especially
should be a great wheat growing State.
The time is ripe for q revival of inter
est in this important cereal crop, and
the opportunity should not be passed.

AGAINST RAILROAD MERCER
Declares That Under it one Man Practically
Fixes Rates From the ohio to the
Mexican Gulf.
(By the Associated Press.)

Louisville, KY. Oct. 1.-THE State
to the Interstate Commerce Commission,
at Washington, formal complaint
against the alleged consolidation of the
Louisville and Nashville. Southern Rail-
way, and other railroad lines in Ken
lucky.
Some days ago c. c. McChord, chairman
of the State Railroad Commission, went
to Washington and presented to the In
ter-State Commerce Commission certain
facts in reference to the consolidation of
the various railroad lines.
Mr.. McChord said the members inform
ed him that they could not proceed with
the investigation until the State Rail-
road Commission should file formal com
plant in Washington. When this was
done, the National commission would at
once enter into investigation.
Mr.. McChord said:
Our information is that the Inter
State Commerce Commission will go to
New York and will put J. Pierpont Nor
gan and the others interested in the con-
solidation, on the witness stand and will
probe to the bottom all the deals set
forth in the complaint which we have
prepared"
The complaint sets forth that in the
alleged consolidation of the Southern
lines all competition is destroyed, and
that practically one man ctntrols the
fixing of freight and passenger rates on
all the lines, extending from the Ohio
River to the Gulf of Mexico, end from
the Atlantic to the Mississippi 1T furth-
States IS thus controlled by these car
riers.

Pennsylvania was represented at the

The races next year will be held on Fri
day, June 90. The choice Of the date Is to

rules Of the association require the races
to be rowed on a flood tide and the varsity
race must be started at o'clock In the
afternoon. So the regatta can be held only
on that day on which there Is flood tide
running in the Hudson at Poughkeepsie at

The officials for the regatta will be the
same that served last year. John E. Eus-
tbs, who was famous oar at Wesleyan In
