Oats Smut...nOw 10 Prevent i
[Weekly Agricultnral Le1ter

weekly Agricultural Lerter.l
The farmers oil Missouri lose
aDnu lily thousands Of dtllars f.om
the effects of smHt 10 the oat crop.
Smut is found every year and in most
every field to a greater or less extent,
sometimes causing u loss Of % per
CEN of the crop, A very cheap aud
sure preventive is within the means OF
every farmer. For an outlay Of ouli
a few cents and a few hours time he
may increase his oat yitli to q
profitable point.
The Wisconsin Experiment Station
has perhaps done more effective
work ,long this line than any Other
station. Daring the last two years
this station has made hundreds of
experiments which have shown the
iormsldehyd treatment to be a sure
preventive for oat smut. The
treatment is this: Get from your
druggist one pint Of 40 per cent
formaldehyd for every thirty bushels
of OATS to be treated. Before treating
it will be we'll TO run the oats through
the tanning mill and blow out all the
chaff, dirt, as we'll as the light grains
of eats. Mix, in large tank or barrel,
the one pint Of formaldehyd with 36
gallons Of water. Now put the oats
into gunpy sacks and submerge the
sacks 10 the :, luton allowing
them TO stay III the solution fol
fall ten minules. 0ne or more sacks
may be submerged tt a time owing tC
the sizs of the tank, On taking the
sacks out put them on some boards
placed so the solution drained from
the oats will run back into the tank
and prevent loss. After draining emp
ty the cats onto a platform, the barr

be made for the swelled condition o

Any oats left over may be fed to stoc

Notwithstanding the difference be
tween The prices paid for wheat and
corn, the latter commodity, By reason
OF its immense volume, yields to the
country the larger gross income.
When the corn crop is unusual,
large and prices MOI unusually low, the
western farmer prospers and in turn
the railroads through bis territory pay
dividends; manufacturers make money
and the commercial conditions
generally are good.
It requires only a short memory to

corn, so did the south, but in the easl

OF the west was concentrated to con.

IN A QUEER LIGHT
When Familiar Woods and Places

nNE warm day last summer,
~ having taken a long car
ride we found ourselves at Fort
Smelling with every Indication of
a coming storm We prudently
sought to board a homeward-
bound car, but found hundreds
of people huddled under a shelter
that had been erected and the
( ears taxed to their utmost ca
pacity., In fact, the first one re-
fused to move under its mighty
burden. Seeing that escape in
this way was hopeless we re-
volved all possible plans in our
minds. g. The 'only feasible one
was to walk to Minnehaha and
there find shelter in the pavilion
until the storm abated or we were
able to board a car. We started
: bravely enough altho the COM
bined effect of. the twilight and
the heavy clouds made it diff
cult to keep our, guides in view.
We crossed a slender trestle-
work and plunged into woods
that, pleasant enough in the sun
shine, looked dull and foreboding
in the queer light. The wind
roared and the trees bent across
our path. We quickened our pace
and walked on in silence until
suddenly rending sound was
followed by a terrifying crash
and a great tree fell to the earth,
barring our path. We skirted
this obstacle and. pressed on
scarcely conscious of where we
were going. I vaguely remember
passing from the woods, plod-
ding along road thru a gate
and into woods again. The clouds

Indeed they did! No building in
America has been the scene of more
thrilling events than has this ancient
house of worship.
Had this boy, who was eager to see
the Old South Meeting house because
Of all that it stands for, been in Bos-
ton on the 29th day of last April, he
might have gone into the time-honored
old building in company with hun
dreds Of other boys, and a great many
girls, who came from all parts of the
city to be present at the "Chidrens
Hour" In the "Old South" This is a
semi-yearly event in Boston. 1t Is a
part of what is called the "Old South
Work." which Is good work, having
for its chief purpose the bringing of
the young people of Boston and Amer
lea into an intimate knowledge of
early American history.
On this Doth day of April the Old
South Meeting house was packed with
boys and girls from the public schools,
to hear about William Blackstone, the
first settler in the city of Boston. A
large orchestra Of boys and girls from
one of the public schools played pat

Because of this fact Congress pass

law was not as effective as it should

passed recently which provides that q
