The smuts of grain are disease OF par
asitic origin, and are familiar to every
farmer. They cause blacklist, smuttye
masses of powder where the grain OF
wheat. oats or barley ought to be, or on
the leaves, ears or other parts OF tne
corn. This black mass may be In COM
packed ball, as in the sinking smut Oh
wheat; or 1t may be loose, poWoery
mass, as in the loose smut OF wheat OF IN
the oat-snut. In wheat, the sinking
smut-mass has an odor like that of dead
fish, which is easily detected in the feid'
or in the harvested grain.
The smul parasite is fungus plant
composed of delicate, colorless threads
which live inside of the grain-plant' ana
which are SO small that they can only be
seen by the aid of the high power OF the
microscope. The fungus. does not produce
seeds, but reproduces itself by means u
spores. The smutty mass, or smut-uust'
is composed of these spores. the spores
are single round cells, with thick Walls

snores encounter favorable condllons
thew germinate and thus reproduce the
disease. small thread Is produced from

branch. one of these fungus threads gets
into the grain4plant, and there keeps on
growing and branching. It gets food Dy

threads get into the grain OF leaf' ana
there grow very fast; and finally they
break uu into the small round spores
again. and the smut-mass Is thus pro-

In a word, then, the smut is parasite
comnosed of tiny threads, which live IN
side of and steal thir nutrition from the
grain-plant, and finally reproduce py
snores (the smut-dust); and these spores
can each produce a thread wnlcn may
again start the disease in another plant.
There are two common smuts OF Wnea.

There are many varying opinions
among planters concerning the bud

best methods of control. However. on a
few points nearly all agree. First. that
the worms are worst in cold. wet soils
such as grey bottom lands, and that
they do their greatest damage while the
nights are cool When the soil becomes
light and dry the bud-worm ceases. Also
the injury Is never as severe on upland
as on bottom land. It is evident that the
worms depend upon a certain degree
of moisture in lne soil and from this
fact we may conclude that proper drain

treating the seed with various insecti-
cides and repellants, such as kerosene

It has been found. however, that when

The bud-worm Is q pest which has
been so common for many Yeas that
most planters have come to look upon
IT as a necessary evir. Tt is tr-1e that
we cannot recommend any direct in
secticidal measures which may be relied

very largely reduced or prevented by
such measures as late planting, plant
