I'm Rural New Yorker. Experiment sta
tons tell us that smuts I'm small grains
are caused by fungous parasites, or mi
mute plants that grow and multiply

that II we treat the oats nsed FOR se'ed

that kills the smut spores upon them

Method Of Treatment.
The best method to prevent smut
is the formaldehyde treatment. This
consists in submerging the seed In a
40 per cent solution of formaldehyde
gas. This can be secured from any
druggist. One pound Of 40 per cent
formaldehyde is required for fifty bush
els of seed TO be treated. Fifty gallons
of water are poured into barrel, ant

Is added. A part of this mixture i
