This coming spring wheat should
not be sowed without being first treat.
ed if it has any indications of having
been exposed to smut. The trouble
can be obyiated by dipping the seed
wheat in a solution that is sure to
prove effective. Smut is carried over
from year to year on the seed wheat.
The mode of treatment is as follows ::
Dissolve one pound of copper sulphate
in "a gallons Of water Soak the seed
in this solution for twelve hours. after
which it should be drained off. Then
the seed should be soaked for ten
minutes in lime water made BY slak
ing one pound of lime in ten gallons
OF water The seed should then be
dried as soon as possible. Care should
then be taken that the seed wheat is
not eaten by chickens or other stock.
as the sulphate is a deadly poison
1t is the experience of farmers that
land that bore smutty wheat the preyi.
Gus year will not bear smutty wheat
If the seed is properly treated. the
smut spores in the ground having
been all killed by the cold weather.

AGRICULTURE


The proper selection of the seed is
the first requisite in planting, says
a bulletin of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. At present most
of our best beet seed is imported from
Germany and France As with other
commodities, there are a few standard
varieties, the quality of which is well
known. These standard varieties are
also in the hands of responsible and
established firms. Very serious mis-
takes are sometimes made in the
selection of seed. The entire crop for
one new factory in this country was
one season produced from seed of
low quality and with consequences
that were serious and farreaching.
No one can tell much about the quail
ity of seed by looking at it, A
farmer can test the seed by germinat-
ing a certain number of seeds be-
tween two dampened blotters kept
warm and moist He can observe
what percentage terminates. AS each
seed or ball has from one to five
germs, there should not be less than
150 sprouts from 100 balls. If, in ad-
dition, 80 per cent of the balls pro
duce as much as one sprout each, the
seed can be considered good from
the standpoint of vitality. The best
method to pursue with relation to
seed is to consult the nearest reliable
source of information. such as fac
tory or an experiment station which
is making tests.
