THE RESULT IN SPOKANE.

That street work may now be had
ir Spokane at prices ranging from 90
tc 40 per cent lower than in past years
is the startling statement made by
Charles NJ. Fassett, former mayor of
Spokane and now commissioner of
public utilities under the commission
plan.
According to Mr.. Fassett the Spo-
kene commission has broken up the
old contracting ring that used to make
big profits off city work. AS a result
the city now gets more for its money
than it did yet the standard of work
is maintained and the same wages are
given workmen as formerly.
1t is very natural that such results
should follow the adoption of the
commission pla There is no fixed
price at which public work is to be
done. Concerns that do street paw
ing, build bridges and lay sewers get
all they can out of the work they do.

TO ERADICATE SMUT.

Scientific agriculturists at the Wash
ington state college at Pullman are
striving hard to eliminate smut from
wheat, and in a bulletin just issued
set forth some very interesting in
formation regarding the prevalence of
smut and the best method of treating
for it.
belt in Washington, Idaho and Ore
gon from smut in the wheat crop of
1911 is estimated by the Chief Grain
Inspector of Washington to amount to
.$7,OOO.OOO. This enormous loss has led
70 the organization of a definite Anti
Smut Campaign" The leaders in this
movement recently met in convention
at Pullman to discuss the situation
and to plan for a systematic. campaign
Of education, experimentation and or
ganization to eradicate this costly
pest. AS a result of their deliberations
the following conclusions were reach
ed:
The increased prevalence of smut is
due largely to the increase in acreage
/ of fal-sown. as fall-sown grain is
more susceptible to the disease than
spring-sown. but spring grain is not
entirely free from the trouble.
Smut infection comes mostly from
smutty seed, but weather and soil con-
ditions influence the amount of in
fection, and there is a possibility OF
infection from smut in the ground if
very smutty grain has been recently
threshed near by.
/ Solutions for treating seed wheat
should be carefully made in certain
definite proportions. Some wheat
growers have been successful while
using haphazard methods, but they
are men whose long experience en-
ables them to guess" very accur-
ately the strength of solutions used
Safety lies in exactly measured
strengths.
The strength of vitrol solution is one
pound of vitrol "copper" sulphate OF

Wheat should be soaked in this So

than fifteen minutes. Some success
full farmers have used as strong as one
pound vitrol to two and one-half gal
lions of water, soaking not more thar
ten minutes, without serious injury tC
the wheat. Too strong solution or too
long soaking will kill the wheat.
Formalin should be used one pount
to forty-five gallons water, the whea
