at this time was to investigate The
merits of the properties of the Ely

Senator Kearns and David Keith of
Salt Lake. and adjoins the Chairman
group of the Nevada Consolidated on

ground is in the lode porphyry, and
the north portion is in the porphyry
and lime. while the ore bodies. except
the porphyry ores occur on the con-
tact of the lime and porphyrv, and in
the lime. / believe that when the
ground is opened up. as planned by the
management, that the group will make
one of the big properties of the Ely
district. The management is sinking

ore body, which crops on the surface.
and they propose 10 go to a depth Of
300 feet and are driving a tunnel on
the Mitchell claim to open up its ore
bodies and TO connect with The Flor

velop its porphyry ores with the aid

STRIKES SULPHIDE ORE.
Mason Valley Company Makes Discov-
cry at Depth of 556 Feet.

The Mason Valley Copper company.
at a depth of $50 feet in from the
mouth Of the tunnel. on the Sprapg
claim. has struck the sulphide region.
The face of the tunnel is all in sui
phide copper ore. This ore occurs at
n depth vertically below the surface
of 4s5 feet, which is the greatest depth
so far attained in the Yerington mining
district, This strike means that deep
mining is assured in Mason Valley,
New. Al 50 feet from the face of the
tunnel, vein has been cross.cut for a
distance Of l15 feet. Just how wide
this vein is has not vet been deter.
mined, The company is working three
double shifts. and is pushing the work
with all possible speed. At 50 feet
from the face of the tunnel, a cross
vein was encountered 45 feet wide. No
orc is being taken out except such as
IS necessary in developing the mine.
Captain Tibbits, George E. Gunn, ".
Mont Ferry, and Frank Judge, are
down there now inspecting the work.
The Spragg gives every Indication of
becoming the foremost producing mine
IN tho district. The parties down there
are greatly encouraged with the show
ing now being made.

The formaldehyde treatment will
kill the sinking SHUTS of wheat, the
loose smut of oats, and the barley
smuts. It will not rid wheat of loose
smut if present in large quantity.
Treating seed corn for corn smut does
no good. The only way to decrease
the amount of smut in corn is to pluck
off the smut balls and burn them.
Corn smut spreads rapidly if the smut
balls are thrown on the manure pile
and the manure spread on corn fields.
Never throw a smut ball on the manure

The senate has administered
another blow to the administra-

for the admission of New Mexico

provision was stricken out of the
Joint statehood bill, after which

state out of the Indian Territory

back to the house, and if that

will be one new state created.

of killing their host plant, they live
with it until maturity and then re-
place the seeds of grain with smut
spores. When smut spores fall on
the ground there is practically no
chance given them to terminate and
attack the young plants of succeeding
crops. Smut infection is caused by
smutty seed, not by smut spores that
have fallen on the soil.
TREATMENT FOR SMUT.
If smutty seed can be so treated as
to kill the smut spores and not affect
the vitality of the seed, the succeeding
grain crop will be practically free
from smut. There are a number of
chemicals that will kill smut, but the
Experiment Station recommends that
farmers use formaldehyde as being

grain of smut. Just as good results

This amount will treat about 10C
bushels of wheat and Is to IS bushels
of oats or barley. The easiest method
of applying the solution is to spread
the wheat on the granary floor and
spray the solution over the seed with
acommon garden sprinkling can. Thu
solution is not effective at low tenn

be treated during extremely cole
weather. While the seed is being
sprayed it should be shoveled ove1

After the grain has been sprayed il

DAMAGE FROM SMUT

DAMAGE FROM SMUT.
The grain smuts cause an annual
loss in the crops of Minnesota that
may be conservatively placed at 10
per cent. The yield of oats is often
lessened as much as 20 to Is per cent
by smut. Not only are yields lessen
ed by the SHUTS, but the grades are
also lowered by even small amount
of smut in the grain.
NATURE OF SHUTS.
The smuts of wheat, oats and barley
are caused by the growth of minute
parasitic plants that live within the
tissues of the grain plants and suck
their nourishment from their juices.
The black masses of smut that. are
seen at harvest time replacing the
seeds which are normally produced
are composed of many seeds or spores
of these parasitic smut plants that
have grown and developed at the ex-
pense of the grain plant. Smut plants
are called fungi, meaning plants that
are incapable of gathering plant food
from the soil and water and with the
aid of sunlight producing plant tissue.
Fungi obtain their food either from
the decaying tissues of plant life or
from the juices of living plants.
SHUTS may be divided into two general
classes, covered or sinking smuts and
the loose smuts. Sinking smuts re:
ceive their name from the fetid odol
of the spore masses when ripe. These
masses may be detected in the form Of
abnormally enlarged kernels of grair
encased in a thin covering or Skin
which normally covers the wheat ker
mel. Only few kernels of smut me-
develop in head of grain, or nearly
every kernel on the spike may bt
affected. Loose smuts differ from thu
stinking smuts in that the entire spike
of grain is replaced with the smu
spore masses except the central stem
whereas in the sinking smut the blacl
smut masses replace only the inne1
portions of the kernels and are no
seen unless the kernels are: broker
open.
! THE METHOD OF INFECTION.
The parasitic smut plants attack tn
grain plants only when the seed ger
inmates and the young plantlet il
first pushed out into the soil. 1
smutty grain is sowp, many: of tn
seeds will have particles of smut ad
herring to the bran or bulls of tn,
seed. These minute particles OF smu
are the spores or seeds of the smu
plants, and when they adhere to TIL
seed grain they will commonly GERM
nate at the same time that the wheat O.
oat seed terminates, and the smu
plants will attack the young graf,
plant and grow within it's tissues
