IL THE interest of accuracy, as
well as of Brownsville, THE HERALD
is pleased to amend its recent
statement concerning the public
school of Brownsville. According to
figures furnished by Prof. I. 2.
Barbour, principal of the school,
the present attendance is 625,
instead of 500, and the number OF
teachers employed is %, instead OF
20, as stated in the hastily written
paragraph referred to. The enroll
ment of pupils for this year exceeds
any in the history of the school,
having reached. about 500, so the
professor informs The HERALD.
The fourishing condition of our
public school is indeed most crafty
ing. There is probably no town OF
the size of Brownsville in the state
that can make a better showing,
and few that can equal it.

Smut Probabilities for 1909.

Smut Probabilities for 1903
The early rains last fall prevented the
sowing of fall wheat by many of the farm
ers of Eastern Washington. AS a conse-
quence, large per cent. of the 1903 wheat
crop will be spring-sown wheat. While it
is usually better from the standpoint of the
wheat farmer to get in his crop in the fall,
spring sowing is in at least one way better.
1t is without doubt true that among the
farmers of the Palouse country fallsown
wheat is more smutty than spring -sown
wheat. 1t is not so easy to tell the reason
for this, however. The explanation of this
fact which best fits our present knowledge
is as follows:
The smut of wheat (and of other grains)
is caused by small plant which lives with
in the tissues of the wheat and steals its
food from it. This smut plant produces
large numbers of grains of smut, which we
find in the smut balls and, by the breaking
of these balls, scattered over the wheat.
When grain of wheat with live smut
grains on it is planted, both grow. The
wheat grain grows into wheat plant; the
smut grain grows into a smut plant. The
smut plant tries to penetrate the skin of the
wheat and get into it's stem. This it can do
if the skin is not too old and hard. About
lllC llllIC Iudl IHC 81 lCdl VI lllC WICdl
unrolls the skin gets too hard, and if the
wheat is not infected by this time it is in no
danger of being smutted.
When wheat is planted in the fall in this
country, especially if planted early, it usu-
ally lies long while in the dry soil Gin dry
dust, the farmers call it) before it germi-
mates, and when it does terminate it germi-
mates slowly. If it has been treated with
vitriol in the usual way, all the vitriol will
be dissolved away in the soil before germi-
nation takes place. The usual way of treat
ing wheat does not kill the smut, but simply
retards it's growth. So when the vitriol is
all gone the smut gets in its work and the
farmer has a smutty crop.
With spring-sown wheat or late fall-sown
wheat the termination is usually rapid and
the wheat is often past the danger point be-
fore the vitriol disappears
1t is much better for farmer to avoid
these risks by using some method which will
kill the smut. The formalin treatment will
do this. 1t can be applied in two ways.
Soaking Method.-Put solution of one
pound of formalin (formalose or formalde-
hyde are the same thing) to sixty gallons
of water in large trough or vat. Pour in
the wheat loose and skim off the wild oats
and smut balls Or if you are treating oats,
but them in haf-hled sacks and put them
in. In either case let them soak for two

FIVE RULES FOR SPRAYING.


L. See to it that the best unslaked lime is
used in preparing Bordeaux mixture always
use the mixture as soon as made, being sure
to get in sufficient lime water, and prove il
by the ferro-cyanide test.
2. Paris green is often adulterated by us
ing material not poisonous; see that it is
composed of IS per cent arsenic by dissolv-
ing sample in ammonia (08 degrees test).
ammonia will dissolve the arsenic; the
residue is useless for poison.
3. The best kerosene oil is safest Use
rainwater in preparation of emu1sions. Use
potash soaps" always. Soak tobacco stems
at least twenty-four hours before using in
cold water.
Before using any preparation, try it on
small scale and permit few hours sunshine
to see that no injury is done the foliage
and that the ingredients are strong enough
to "kill and thus cure"
Poisons should be used every time the
Bordeaux mixture is, as they can be applied
safely at the one cost of labor.
The formulas issued by the department of
agriculture and by the experiment stations
are reliable but I wish to insist on the inn
portance of what I have noted above, and
also to call special attention to the applica-
ton of insecticides and fungicides.
MANY large III HdVC PlO-
vided excellent outfits. In buying pump,
he sure to get one of sufficient power to
produce fine spray. Good work can only
be done when the liquids are applied in the
form of a mist A toilet atomizer would
be, if large enough, an ideal spraying APP
paratus.
Spraying should be done on mild day,
and never against the wind. Hold the noz-
zes so as to moisten both the upper and
under surface of the leaves, all of the
branches and the trunks to the ground.
I have observed that few who are in the
habit of spraying are particular to soak
thoroughly the larger branches and trunks
of the trees.
In short let me give the following five
rules for spraying:
l. Use material known to be best.
2. Keep the pump and nozzles in perfect
order.
3. Spray thoroughly or not at all.
A. Know why you spray, and do it in sea-
son.
5. Do not condemn spraying unless you
have done your best and failed.
