This field produced over go bushels of corn per acre in 1909. The field was
in alfalfa during 1907 and 1908, and the alfalfa was plowed up and the
land put in corn to see the effect the alfalfa would have in making
the land more productive. The result was that the yield was
about double what it was before the alfalfa was sown.

Ending an eventful and successful

ment of the civil war, and the pew oc-
cupied by him is across the aisle from

ington pew. This pew is indicated by
a silver plate showing his autograph.
OF the thousands of persons who an
nnal1y visit Christ church hut few fail,
to enter and sit for a while in the pew

reous old %janitor of the church SEEM
ingly takes a personal pride in detail
ing to visitors the relations sustained,
to the history of the church by these
two illustrious men.
Washington received his commission
in 1855, as a colonel in the British army,
from General Braddock, in the Carlyle
House. at Alexandria, Va. This house
was erected in 1892, by John S. Carlyle
on the brow Of a hill, and its base
i rests on an old fort built in 1916 by
Captain John Smith OF one of the oc-
caSions when he came up the Potomac
to trade with the Indians. Originally
the house was reached by q fine flight
Of stone steps from a beautiful lawn
reaching to Fairfax street and adorned
by 16 Lombardy poplars arranged in
four parallel rows. The poplars and
lawn have long since disappeared, and
long ranges of rooms of the present
| Braddock House occupy their site. and
the house is only visible to the public
from n eastern or real side.
1t was also in this house that the
unfortunate expedition against Fort
Duuuesne was arranged by General
Braddock and the governors of Mary
land, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania n Virginia, in 1855.
1t is related of Washington tina at
or about the time he received his COM
mission as colonel he made love to
pretty Sallie Fairfax, while they were
both stopping at the Carlyle House,
and that she refused him. But If that
is true, he evidently did not grieve
long, for. within little more than two
years, and while still under 80 years
! of age. he married the widow Gusts.

The church was consecrated by Bish-

Of and on the south side is an old
burial ground, and some very old tab
lets, ~antedating the construction OF the
church, r still standing, and are In
a remarkable state Of preservation.
The square pew, with open door, on
the right Of the pulpit I'M under the
balcony, is pew No. S. which vas oc-
cupied by Colonel Washington when at
tending services there until the date OF
his death: he never changed his mem
bership from the church. A silver plate
bearing his autograph, is on top of the
pew door. Originally all the pews in
the church were built l n a square form,
but later, with the exception Of the
Washington pew, were changed to the
present day style OF construction.
The furniture within the chancel is
that that was used in the church, when
first completed. The windows in the
rear Of the pulpit, with small panes Of
glass, are the ones placed there by h
builders.
The bible on the desk is the first one
that was used in the church., n the
one on the pulpit was Washington's
family bible, and was used by him at
his Mount Vernon home on the Poto-
mac.

OF GRAIN
SEED FOR SMUT

Not all SHUTS are alike Corn smut is
different from wheat smut and both are
different from oat smut. Most of these
smuts can be prevented by a simple seed
treatment. Such smuts are among the
most important. There is no excuse for
such smuts on any farm in Minnesota.
The simplest and cheapest method Of seed
treatment is the formalin method.
Smut P~reventabIe BY Formalin Method
The following smuts can be prevented
by the formal.n treatment described be-
low: Wheat srnu (called also sinking
smut and bunt, and the most common and
worst smut in the state), oat smut, and
the covered SHUTS of barley, corn smut,
the loose smut of wheat (blackheads), and
the loose smut of barley. will not be pre-
vented by this treatment, IL you treat
your barley with formalin you will not
get rid of the loose snu The Eest way
to get rid of both barley smuts is to get
seed from a field of last year that did
not have any smut In it.
The following Is the formalin method:
Get good guaranteed formalin from a re-
liable druggist. The seed grain should
first be very thoroughly cleaned. One
pound q pint) of Sormalin should be
poured into from 40 to As gallons Of water,
In a barrel. Then the grain, IN gunny
sacks or wire baskets, should be dipped
into the solution, or the solution should
be sprinkled upon the grain. Be sure
that all of the grains are wet all over by
the solution. as the object Of the treat
ment is to kill a9sof the smut-dust on
the outside OF thS grain. Everything
which the grain touches should be very
clean; sacks should be boiled; floors and
shovels should be thoroughly washed with
boiling water. If the grain is to be dipped,
1t may be put, about half a bushel at a
time, into d coarse sack and plunged into
the ormali solution. Now spread the
has been washed with boiling water; cover
it for 10 to "a hours, and then let it dry.
Care should be taken to allow the grain
to freeze when wet, or to sprout.
The grain to be treated may, instead Of
being dipped, be spread out in a thin lay
er on a clean floor or canvas. Then while
one man rapidly shovels or rakes over
the grain, another applies the formalin by
means Of a good sprinkling can, taking
care to moisten every kernel. Cover Il
hours, as in the dipping treatment, and
then dry.
The grain may be sown at once, or may
pc kept for a month or more if thoroughly
dried. Great care should always be taken
not to let smut-dust get on it after treat
ment. Sacks, shovels and the seeder with
which it is sown should all be carefully
washed with strong formalin solution q
pound to 10 gallons Of water). If care
fully done, this should prevent the occur
Sence of the three smuts mentioned.

He thought nothing of 1t for two
weeks or more, M then his face be-
gan 20 swell. He died there yesterday
Of blood poisoning. Captain Englund
was 81 years old.
A bill was introduced in the Mas.

and Is now before a legislative COM
