COUNTY INSTITUTE
IS GREAT SUCCESS
FIVE DAYS PROGRAM WAS FULL OF
GOOD THINGS FOR TEACHERS.
Good Attendance. Good Weather. Good
Speakers and GoodlSpeeches
Marked Institute.

The teachers institute was by
far the best that has ever been
held in this county. Every
speaker showed that he was
thoroughly prepared and pre-
sented his address in a manner
as to bring home some funda
mental point to the teacher. The
discussions were very interest
ing and showed that Randall
county has a very intelligent
class of county teachers.
Great credit is due to County
Superintendent Henson, and his
committee, J. l.. Redus, O. l..
Price and j. A. Hill, for the eX-
cellent program that was ar
ranged and the pleasant manner
in which it was carried out. No
one could attend a session with
out feeling that he had been
benefited, and all the teachers
went away feeling that they
were { much stronger for the
work than before the meeting.
The attendance was very good
this year. According to the re
cord, twenty-five teachers were
present with a goodly number of
honorary members and many
visitors at every session. The
night programs attracted much
attention and many of the citi
zens availed themselves of the
treats offered at these programs.

FOR SEED WHEAT
TO PREVENT SMUT
PROFESSOR n. N. Banner GIVES
GOOD TREATMENT.
Great Damage Done Every Year to
Wheat Which can be Easily
Prevented by Care.

during tne past season, Il
great deal of smut has developed
in the wheat crop. which has
caused serious loss to the grow
ers. 1t not only causes loss in
yield but also in the selling price.
II is safe to say that the grower
of smutty wheat does not re-
ceive over one-half the profit
from it that would come from
clean wheat.
BY carefully looking over the
wheat field at maturing time,
heads may be found which have
been entirely destroyed. The
wheat kernels have become
nothing more than a black mass
of spores. When the crop is
threshed. many of these spores
cling to the grain and are car
ried back to the wheat field at
seeding time. Soon after the
wheat kernel germinateS. the
smut spores also germinate. The
terminated spOre or fungus de-
velopes a thread-like structure
which enters the wheat plant.
This does not appear to damage
the wheat plant very much dur
ing its growing period, but it is
there, ready for work, as soon
as the wheat heads appear.
There are two kinds of wheat
smut, loose smut and sinking
smut. Both can be prevented
by treating the seed and rotating
the crops. The spores of both
kinds of smut are carried by the
seed, but the spores of loose
smut may also be carried in the
soil from one year to another.
Treating the seed prevents
sinking smut, but loose smut
requires that the seed be treated
and that the ground on which it
grew be planted to another crop
the following year. The stink
ing smut is the kind most com
monty found, it destroys the
kernels only, while the loose
smut destroys the grain and
chaff entirely, and the sooty
mass of spores remain. The
sinking smut gives off an often
sive order when broken.
The following 'Formalin Treat
ment" will prevent sinking
smut in wheat, also the Smuts
which commonly affect barley
and oats:
FORMALIN TREATMENT There
are several methods of treat
ment: hot water treatment, blue
stone treatment, and Formalir
Treatment, the last of which is
safest, most reliable and cheap
est.
Secure 40 per cent solution
of formalin at a reliable drug
store. One pound of formalin is
sufficient to treat from 1000 to
25OO pounds of wheat. Before
mixing the solution, get the seet
wheat ready. The treating so
luton is made by carefully mix
ing one pound bottle of the for
malin with 40 gallons of water.
The seed smay be treated b!
dipping or sprinkling. To dip
the seed may be placed in
gunny sack and the solution in {
barrel or tank. The wheat
should be immersed in this TO
at least ten minutes and thel
taken out and allowed to drail
back into the barrel for a shOr
time. The wheat should then b.
emptied into a pile in clear
place and covered with sacks o
blankets for two hours, afte
which it should be thorough.

he ridiculed the idea.

inquiry into the murder of Mrs. Mary

hand. Porter Charlton.
