Jndiana's Goal Reserve.

NJ. r. Campbell, Of the United

the original supply Of coal In the
fields Of Indiana at 44,169, 100000
short tons. The aggregate produc-
ton to the close Of 1908 amounted
to III ,755,28O short tons, or which
1874, $50 tons, or about per cent,
was produced in 1908. The exhaus-
ton represented by this production
is about 58,O00,0O0 tons, or O.58
per cent of the estimated original
supply. On the basis Of these esti-
mates the quantity of coal remain
ing in the ground in Indiana at the
close Of 1908 was about $500 times
the production Of that year, or 2,400
times the exhaustion represented by
that production.

sAnedel Ear of Corn.

A model ear of corn was re-
Gently placed in the corner stone
Of the new Agricultural Building
of the Missouri College of Agri. /.
culture at Columbia. The idea
was to allow future generations
who should be living when this
building is torn down to see what
was considered to be an ideal ear
of corn in 1903. The ear was a
fine specimen Of Reid's yellow
Dent. almost cylindrical in shape
and with perfectly filled butt and
tip. The rows were straight, the
kernals0f good depth and the ear
was perfectly solid and compact.
The kernels were packed SO close
ly together that no open space
was left between the rows or be-
tween the kernals in the rows
and it was perfect in practically
all details, scoring SO 3-4 points
out of . possible 100. A fine
photograph of this ear was pre-
served showing a side view Of
the ear and also a view of the butt
and tipp, The College of Agri-
culture had printed sdsrge num-
ber Of copies of this photograph
and any one interested in secur-
ing these may do so by writing
the college Of Agriculture at Col
umbia.
The great interest that is being
taken by Missouri farmers inbet-
ter seed oorn should be an lncen-
tive to every man to study care
fully the various types of ears
and the College of Agriculture
will be glad to place this photo
graph in the hands Of any one
who should desire it without any
cost to them.

Tsae Treatment or Oats for
Smut.

Few farmers realize the great
value of treating seed oats for
smut, Experiments mado by the
Experiment Station>at Columbia
show a gain varying from 8 to 20
per cent in the yield of oats by
thus treating the seed. The
method is SO simple and so cheap
that no farmer should fail to treat
his oats before sowing.
Various methods are in use for
treating oats but the one which
the experiment. station has found
to be most practical is as follows
Secure a | ID bottle of commercial
formalin (sometimes called for
maldehyde) 40 pen cent strength
and pour this into a vessel con-
tanning 40 to 30 gallons Of water,
Ond stir. Spread the oats out on
a clean barn floor and sprinkle Oh
this solution from a sprinkling
can. Shovel them over and over
until every grain is thoroughly
-moistened, allow to stand in Q
heap for twenty or thirty minutes
and spread out in a thin layer ia
dry. Shovel these over occasion
ally to aid the drying process.
The oats may be sowp1ust as
soon as they are dry enough I'd
handle or they may be kept any
length OF time. The best wayis tc
make this treatment along in the
winter when one has time, since
the treatment lasts indefinitely
Care should be taken that the oats
are dried out thoroughly II they
are to be sacked, since they may
be injured In termination by be-
ing sacked damp.

Missouri State board Of
HORTICULTURE.

! The Missouri State Board Of
Horticulture met in annual Winter
Session at Columbia, January5-6.
1903. The State Board was ere.
ated by an act of the Legislature
in 1907 to take the place of the
Missouri Horticultural Society
4 which under the law could ns
longer continue to receive ap.
preparations unless differently
orgahized. This was done and
.he Missouri State Board of Hor,
ticulture is continuing the good
work which characterized the
work of the State horticultural
Society for Fifty years.
The Winter Institute was held
this year as one of the eonyen,
tions during Farmers Week at
Columbia at which fourteen state
organizations were represented,
Under this plan more farmers
got to hear horticultural programs
than would have been possible
under different arrangements,
II is estimated that five times as
many persons heard the programs
as ever before. Also the hortir
cultnrists were enabled to hear
talks on other subjects Of interest
besides that OF horticulture.
Especial care was taken TO
emphasize the need for better
methods of packing, marketing
and general orchard manages
ment. To impress this point upr
on the visitors some delegates
were sent TO some highly develop,
ed fruit regions to study prevals
ing conditions. The reports ,sf
these delegates were read and dis.
cussed at the meetings. in con,
nection with this there was one
special talk on the grading and
packing of fruit by a man who
has had long experience in hsnd-
ling the highest grade Of apples
on the market. Boxes of fruit
we're shown at the meeting with
Individual apples wrapped in tiss
sue paper. Other topics discuss
sed were hardness of fruits,
grape growing, strawberry grow
ing, home canning, orchard pruns
ing, and diseases and insects afr
fecting the orchard crops.
At q business session during
the course OF the meeting the
Board of Horticulture discussed
plans for the inspection of orr
ehards and nurseries in the state,
The Board was of the opinion
that the inspector who is a comr
petent entomologist should be ap-
pointed to take up the work Of
searching out the spots affected
with San Jose scale or other
dangerous pests and compel the
owner to immediately take steps.
to eradicate them. It is believed
the inspector should have power
to enforce the inspection work
and that he should give entire
