SAVES FARMERS MILLIONS
Investigations of College of Agriculture.

Statistics just compiled by agricul- tural experts show that as a result of the Investigations, by the college of agriculture of the University of Wis consin, of the means of preventing oat smut. the farmers of Wisconsin are being saved nearly $5,0OO000 annually. Since Wisconsin ranks among the greatest Oat producing states in this country flor each year over 2,500,00O acres are sown with oats. which pro- duce a crop of 1O0,000000 bushels, worth annually from $25.000,000 to S30, 1000, ,000). these investigations are of vital importance to thousands of farm CTS in all parts of the state. For many years the annual loss to the farmers in the oat crop averaged more than IS per cent. or over 1S,000,0O0 bushels of oats, valued at nearly $5.000.000. The barley crop of 15,O0o,0OO bushels suffered an annual loss of 6G0,oo0 bushels on account of the smut. Sta tistics show that through the eXperi- ments of the professors of the Wis cOnsin college of agriculture. and through their efforts in spreading broadcast over the state the results of these investigations, more than twO- | thirds of this loss to the oat and bar ley crops has been prevented and that the crops have therefore been in- creased in value nearly $5,OO0,000 a year.
 The history of the experiments that led to the prevention of this costly | blight is an interesting illustration of the application of the discoveries of pure science to practical problems. such as those of agriculture. A chem ist discovered product of common wood smoke, which is known as for maldehyde; biologist. working along other lines found that formaldehyde was death to fungus life; and finally a professor of the North, Dakota ex- pertinent station tried the effect of this chemical on oat smut. The University of Wisconsin experiment station learned almost immediately of the re- suits of these experiments. and by ap- plying them on a large scale proved that the Oat smut could be effectually prevented by the application of the formaldehyde solution to seed oats be- fore planting.
 | The method of treating the seed grain is very simple. so simple in fact that there is no reason why it should not be universally employed. A pint of formaldehyde, which costs about 50 cents, is poured into barrel contain ing some 40 gallons of water. The oat seeds. which are placed in gunny sacks. are let down into this barrel and allowed to soak in the dilute chemical solution for some minutes. They are then taken out and dried. after which they are ready for sowing without any further treatment. Thus the cost to the farmer is scarcely moro than a cent a bushel: which is certain ly very little when compared with the destructiveness of the blight and tie great loss which it entails.

lieving that nurses should work for
charity, and rousing suspicious as to
her identity by her vigorous utter
anoes on the subject, sh was forcd
