Treatment for Smut

H Walter L. Swingle, a department OF
L agriculture scientist, has announced
Il that American wheat and oat growers
are losing S10000,O0 to 500 0O0.O 900 an
nually owing to smut. He says this
loss could be entirely prevented with
but slight outlay and minimum OF
! trouble. Until few years ago grain
1 smuts could not be treated with any
certainty of success, but now practi-
cally all can be treated with absolute
certainty of success by methods that
I cost little.
Smut Is dangerous parasite and is
widely spread turnout the wheat re-
gion OF the United States, and is, UNI
fortunately. easily carried from one
farm to another by thrashing machines.
Wheat containing any appreciable per-
centage of sinking smut has a disa-
greeable odor, and is frequently sub
jected to heavy discount by millers
on this account. 1t is perfectly feas-
IDLE for every farmer to protect him
self, not only from this discount. but
also to get materially increased yields
in case his wheat is badly infected
with smut. There are few parasites SO
CdsiIS tViiIItitNh uS WIS, anu lIltIe Is
really no excuse for an up-to date
farmer having smutty wheat. since it
can be absolutely prevented with little
or no expense. and the labor of making
the treatment is insignificant compared
with the benefits resulting
The greatest loss from smuts i'm this
country is from the sinking smut OF
wheat, and the loose smut of oats in
which crops the loss probably averages
from $4,000 900 to s20,o0O.000 year
each. The loose smut of wheat occa-
sionally causes considerable injury,
and is very serious disease. because
1t is extremely difficult to prevent, even
by seed treatment. Loose smut of oats
on the contrary is very easily pre-
vented, as are the sinking smuts of
wheat. There the two types of bar
ley smuts. both loose smuts. but the
one easy Is ,lSsat like oat smut and and
-s.HitSs1oose smut of wheat
Any of the following treatments can
be carried out at very small expense
by any farmer with the aid of utensils
to be found ON any farm. The relative
advantages and disadvantages of these
treatments are shown in the following
summary:
Sar Solution-The easiest treatment,
in which the grain is soaked. The
solution is easily prepared. cheap, can
be kept any length of time. and If
properly applied is thoroughly effective.
Bluestone and Lime Treatment-Thi
treatment is even cheaper than the sar
solution. but it requires that the grain
be dipped in lime water after 1T has
been soaked in the bluestone solution.
While the farmer is already familiar
with the bluestone treatment. 1T should
be improved. as here suggested. by
dipping the seed in lime water 1t is
a thoroughly effective treatment for
wheat smut, but is dangerous for oats.
Formalin Solution-The formalin So

THE PROFESSORS PENSION.

The trustees of the Carnegie fund
adopted scale upon which the income
from the bequest, amounting to about
100000 a year, is to be distributed. 1t
has been decided that professor who
is IS years old, has been Is years in
service. is in an approved institution,
and is still employed, may retire upon
q pension proportional roughly to the
pay he is receiving at the time of re-
firing. If he is receiving $1,000 or less,
in no case may he receive more than
so per cent of his active pay For ac-
tive pay exceeding $1,000 the retiring
professor shall receive $1,000, plus $50
for each 500 in excess of $1,000. But
no pension is to exceed $4,000. After
70 years of service, the age qualifica-
-1-tee1a-not being exacted, the pension vii!
be $500 for persons receiving pay Of
$1,000 or less, and the limit will be
so per cent of active pay In this class
If the active pay is over $1,000. the re-
firing allowance will be $500, plus $40
for each 500 of active pay over $1,000.
Even at the lowest, the income of
$500 will insure comfort to the aged
professor who has neglected his BUSH

him of more Importance Mr.. Car

| luton is, as far as is now known, TIL;
best treatment for grain in bulk by
sprinklng. This is by all odds the
easiest treatment to apply on large
scale, but the smut is not so thorough
| ly prevented as when the grain is
soaked or treated with hot water. The
| principal drawback to this treatment
is the difficulty of getting formalir
| of guaranteed strength and the fact
that the bottles are often short in
weight. On account of the expense of
the solution 1t should not be used for
soaking the grain, but only used where
the grain is treated In bulk by sprink-
ling.
Ho: Water Treatment--The hot wa
ter treatment requires no outlay for
material, but necessitates a consider
able amount of labor, and must be
carefully done or the seed wheat will
b einjured If carried out properly,
however, it is the most effective treat
ment known for all SHUTS. 1t can be
recommended in practice even where
large quantities of wheat are to be
treated wherever steam is available
for qlckly heating the water

and pats-There is no longer any ex-
cuse for an up-to-date farmer having

1t is infected with smut The expense
is small and the result sure. He will

that he is getting the full return from
the crop and that his grain is not sub
ject to any discount on account of
smut.
