TREATMENT KILLS GRAIN.
Hundreds of Acres of Wheat VIII
Have to BE Resecded.

Walla Walla, Nov. 1S.-Hundreds
o! acres of wheat In the eastern part
OF the county which were seeded early
in the season with wheat washed in
strong chemical preparation and
soaked in vitriol, will have to be re-
seeded before a crop is harvested
Notwithstanding there has been ex-
cellent weather for growing purposes
for the past few weeks, the seed
which was sown has not sprouted,
and investigation reveals the fact
that the life germ OF the cereal has
been destroyed. 1t is believed the W.T.
riol and washing given the grain was
too severe and in that way the germ
was killed.
II was thought by an extra heavy
treatment Of the grain. the smut
which has been so prominent on
wheat for the past few seasons could
be completely eradicated. This would,
in the opinion OF prominent and ex-
perienced growers. have been effective
had the treatment not been too Sc
we're.
Farmers in several Instances are
already reseeding the fields and hope
TO harvest n large area of the affect
ed district next season, despite the
setbec kwhch has been received.

in Unusual Opportunity.

Thanks to the activity and enter
prise OF our State Medical Society,
orr citizens will have the privilege OF
hearing an address on Things About
the Doctors which the Public Ought 10
Know delivered by DR. }. \. Me
Cvrmic, secretary of the State board
OF health of Kentucky and chairman
of the organization committee OF the
American Medical Association. This
distinguished speaker has delivered
addresses before medical and popular
audiences on similar topics, all over
the United States. and has only
limited amount OF time at his disposal
for addresses in our state. Our parish
medical society has been fortunate
enough to secure one OF these even
inrs and can consequently promise
our citizens an unusually ENJOYABLE
evening.
DR.. Mccormick has the reputation
of being the most interesting speaker
in the medical profession in the Unit
ed States. His address is not in any
sense a dry, scientific, technical lee
ture, but is, on the contrary, a plain,
easily understood talk on matters
connected with sanitation and public
hygiene, which will be Of interest and
profit to every man or woman who
hears it. As an eyidelce of the way
in which his lecture has been received
in other places, we quote from the
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, which
says:
"Dr. Mccormick of Kentucky, de-
livered most instructive lecture to a
large andieuce in the public school
on the subject of "The
Physician and His Relation to the
Public" He spoke under the auspic-
Is Of the American Medical AsSocia-
ton and the State Medical Board of
Alabama. In a most impressive AID
searching manner he set forth the ne
cessity Of highly trained medical
profession, as we'll as the necessity OF
an enlightened public opinion on the
principles of modern sanitation. He
also paid his respects to vendors OF
patent nostrums, quacks, etc. The
address was powerful medical SER
mon."
Dr.. Mccormick is devoting his en-
tire time to this work, unde" the d.
rection of the American Medical AssO-
citation, which he represents The
matter of the lives and health of our
people is of the greatest interest to
every one. 1t is to be hoped that all
public spirited members Of the com
both men and women, will
take advantage of this unusual OPP
pOrtunitv and will be present at the
lecture at Lake Charles, March 20,
1908. The audience will be requested
TO take part in the general discussion
which will follow the lecture.
