FORMALIN FOR SEED OATS.
Press Bulletin Ohio Agricultural Elk.
pertinent Station.

Observations made IN 1907 show
Cd that the oat crop was inferior in
apparent quality as well as in
yield. Inquiry has been made of the
Ohio experiment station as to the
possible value of this crop for use
as seed; examinations made by the
state department of botany of sam
pies sent in as well as of those grown
at the station in 1907 show not only
an abundance of oat smut, but even
larger amounts of other diseases
not before observed upon oats. One
OF these diseases acts like the scab
OF wheat and will kill off many
young oat plants and will cause
more of the scab disease in the crop.
The other diseases are likewise in
furious. The oats of the 1907 crop
contain many light kernels or empty
husks. The first step is to reclean
all seed oats in the mill to make
definite seeding possible The sec
ond and even more important thing
is to treat the recleaned seed oats
with formaln before sowing.
One pint, or pound of formalin
Gao per cent formaldehyde) will !
make so gallons of solution if plac- !
ed in so gallons of water; four
ounces of the fornalin will make !
12a gallons of solution One gal
lon of this solution will treat a
bushel OF seed oats. The cost of the ;
treatment, including labor, is less
than / cent per bushel-less than 3 |
cents per acre.
How to Apply the Remedy
Use vessel such as tight bar
rel and make solution by mixing
formalin in needed amount of wa
ter: one pound to so gallons, or four
ounces to 12h gallons.
Put seed to be treated in a pile
or bag. For five bushels or more
place seed in pile on tight barn
floor and sprinkle with solution !
from bucket or sprinkler until thor
oughly wetted; repeat this sprink
ling one or more times till one gal
Ion OF solution per bushel has been
applied. Then leave grain in COM
pact pile for two to three hours, o.
over night. when it should be spread |
to dry. For small amounts Of seeds.
or for a number OF small lots, seed
may be left in bags and immersed |
IN solution for about one hour and
then spread to dry II sown while
moist, rate of seeding should be
proportionately increased. In any
case the treated grain should not be
replaced in bags that have not been
Immersed in the solution for about
one hour The drill should also be
sterilized by sprinkling with g
stronger solution of the formalin,
say double strength of that above
given. This treatment may he
made some time in advance Of seed
1ng. The treated grain is not poi
sonous to stock or poultry after It
a dry.
The Effect Of This Treatment.
This formalin treatment not only
KILLS the oat smut fungus, which
often destroys 10 to 20 per cent of
the oat crop, but 1t destroys these
new diseases and insures better
stand and crop more free from dis
case.

ing attempted TO assault the 13-year-

The negro escaped at the time, but
was followed by officers who finally
overlook him, but did not return with
him to Georgiana. On the contrary
they kept on to Repton and there
boarded the train bound for Pensacola
over the Southern Alabama division,
their intention being to take the south
bound train at Flomaton and take the
negro TO Mobile for safe keeping.
When they reached FIomaton however,
they found a mob waiting for them
and fearing to remain there to wait
for the Mobile train they took the ne
gro aboard the fast noTthbOund train
and were out of Flomatcn before the
crowd could realize what had OC-
CURED.
Tie negro had admitted his guilt
soon after being captured, and the OIL
GERS were endeayoring to prevent a
lynching. When last heard of they
had persuaded the conductor of the
fast train 10 stop before reaching
Brewton and they left the train with
their prisoner.
