You Can Enter This Much.

The fellow with little money
who wants bunch of good land
from the government can get it all
right if he knows how to go about it.
In fact he can assimilate 4s0 acres
under the new federal regulations
governing enlarged homestead en-
tries. If an entryman has never used
his agricultural rights and filed on
land of any kind susceptible of culti-
walton he can first file on 160 acres
of timber and stone land and can
thereafter file on $40 acres of home
stead land adjoinidg it or in any
other locality if he lives up to the
land laws. If. however. a person is
qualified entryman under the
homestead laws of the United States
he may be allowed to enter 800 acres
under this act, or such lesser amount
as when added to the lands previously
entered or held by him under the agri-
cultural land laws shall not exceed in
the aggregate 4s0 acres. The trouble,
however, is to find land that can quail
fly under all these requirements but
such places still exist and it is herein
that the land scouts are very busy these
days.

Tiews on Irrigation.
Irrigation Age }


The signing of the Reclamation Act
by President Roosevelt on June II,
1902. not only started the Government
machinery upon irrigation works of
great magnitude, but gavenew courage
to private enterprise. In many in
stances private capital has outstripped
the Government in the success of its
undertakings. We do not have to 60
far for the reason. Uncle Sam is a
poor business man. He always has
been. His chief quality is determi-
nation. He generally accomplishes
what he starts out to do, cost what 1t
may. So he builds irrigation systems
and, soon or later. generally later. gets
them done. The land under the sys-
TEN pays the price, no matter what 1t
may be.
A great error was committed in at
tempting to apply an old law to new
conditions. The Homestead law has
been made to apply. to the settlement
of new lands under the irrigation pro-
jects of the Government. Failures
have resulted in many instances. The
writer has the report, at second hand
only, that Government official con-
nected with the Reclamation Service
has confessed to general feeling in

Treatment of Seed Grain
to Prevent Smut.
BY ALVIN KEYsER.

BY ALVIN KEYsER.
The unusually large amount of smut
in grain, especially in wheat in the
Plains Region during the season of
1909, has caused very great loss to
growers. To prevent the spread of the
disease, calls for vigorous measures by
the farmers.
There are two kinds of smut affect
ing wheat, loose smut and stinking
smut. Treatment of the seed will
almost entirely prevent sinking smut.
1t requires both treatment and cul-
tural methods to prevent loose smut.
Both kinds of smut are fungus dis
eases In each case the disease gets
into the plant at or soon after germina-
tion while the plant is young.
The spores of sinking smut are car
ried almost entirely by the seed, conse-
quently any treatment of the seed
which kills the spores will prevent the
appearance of the smut.
The spores of loose smut of wheat
are also carried by the seed, but they
may also be in the soil, if wheat dam
aged by loose smut occupied the land
the previous year. Treatment of seed
will kill the loose smut spores on the
seed, but will not kill the spores in the
soil. Consequently loose smut is liable
to appear where wheat follows wheat,
even though TIE seed may be thorough
ly treated The only way to success
fully kill the spores of loose smut of
wheat Is to rotate the crops on the land
That is to say. grow some crop other
than wheat on the land for at least one
year.
Treatment of the seed will prevent
sinking smut of wheat and the snuts
which affect oats and barley. Treat
ment of the seed. together with rota-
ton of crops will prevent loose smut of
wheat.
The Delta independent., 1909-10-22
TREATMENT OF SEED.

There are a number of methods of
treating seed grain to prevent smut
Several of these have considerable
merit. The cheapest, safest, most
easily applied and most uniformally
successful is the formalin treatment.
PREPARATION OF FoMALIN SOLUTION.
Obtain l6-ounce (one-pound) bottle
of formalin, 40 per cent. strength, at
the drug store. When everything is
ready for treating the seed, make up the
treating solution by carefully mixing
the formalin with water at the rate of
l6 ounces Zone pound) of formalin to
40 gallons of water. This would be one
ounce of formalin to 2ia gallons of
water
TREATMENT OF THE SEED.
The seed may be treated with the
prepared solution in one of two ways,
the sprinkling method or the dipping
method. If the sprinkling method is to
be used. prepare a clean place on the
floor or ground and spread down a
large canvas or muslin sheet Sprinkle
the sheet thoroughly. using garden
sprinkler. Now place the grain to be
treated upon the sheet and sprinkle it
thoroughly. When the surface is good
and moist, shovel the grain over as
concrete is mixed, SO as to moisten all
of the grain. Continue this sprinkling
and mixing until the grain is all well
moistened. Now cover up the grain
with sacks or blankets and allow it to
stand for at least two hours. At the
end of this time uncover the grain and
spread it out so that it may dry
thoroughly. The terminating power is
liable to be injured unless the grain is
well dried after treatment.
The dipping method is performed by
putting the solution in barrel and
then dipping the grain held in gunny
sack into the solution, allowing 1T to re-
main 10 minutes, taking it out and per-
mitting it to drain until the supertiuous
liouid drains back in the barrel. After
draining. the grain is placed in pile
and covered with sacks or blankets. in
the same manner as in the sprinkling
method, and allowed to stand two hours,
after which it should be thoroughly
dried before planting.
One pound of formalin to 40 gallons
of water is sufficient to treat $500
pounds of grain. Smaller amounts of
grain will require about two gallons of
the solution to every 100 pounds of
grain.
