Corn smut, known to every one who
is acquainted with the corn plant,
was formerly thought to be injurious
to stock, causing abortion and in rarer
instances what is known as the corn
stalk disease. Some time ago the bu-
reau of animal industry at Washing
ton conducted some feeding expert
ments in which as high as eleven
pounds of smut per day were fed to
some Of the animals. The animals
seemed TO relish the smut and to thrive
on it, no injurious effects whatever be-
ing noted. From this 1t is safe to as
sumo that the amount Of smut which
cattle would get hold of in eating corn
fodder In one shape or another would
be entirely harmless

If any one Of the house plants have
q sickly yellow color 1t is fair to as
sumo that there is a lack Of nitrogen
in the soil. This may be supplied by
using a moderate amount Of plant
food, watering the plants with dilute
ammonia or a small quantity Of ma
nure water.

While the words gutta percha and
rubber are sometimes used inter
changeably, they are quite different.
The former Is procured from trees
which grow in the Malay peninsula,
while rubber is from tree native to
the western hemisphere, the supply
coming chiefly from the wild trees of
Brazil and the cultivated groves Of the
Straits Settlements. Rubber has been
known since the discovery Of Ameri-
ca, but 1t was not until 1923 that any
serious attempt was made to use 1t on
a commercial scale, while the major
portion of the present enormous rub
Der business has been a growth of the
past fifteen years.

The question of fresh air for the
poultry is not a vital one during the
summer months, when they are out of
doors all day and when the door and
windows of the poultry house are left
wide open at night. During the win
ter months, however, the question is
very important. 1t is true with hens
as with human beings that there is no
more prolific cause of colds and other
bronchial troubles than bad air.
Fresh air should be supplied in the
henhouse during the coolest weather
even at the expense of warmth.

The efficiency of thousands of rural
schools might be vastly increased
were a serious attempt made to teach
in simple and direct way some Of the
fundamental and very important
things which are taught deliberately at
the agricultural colleges. The list of
subjects discussed and demonstrated
ought to include the testing of seed
corn, the determination of butter fat
in milk by the Babcock test. the test
ing and cure for sour soils, study of
small grains and a demonstration of
the advantage Of growing pure bred
over growing scrub grain, something
about balanced rations and the phi
losophy of them. The rural school
would seem to offer an admirable
meeting place for the young people OF
the country and fundamental instruc-
ton In things which promise so much
for the agricultural betterment of
farming communities. 1t may be the
teacher Is city bred or knows little
about these interesting and important
subjects. But this should not prove
serious obstacle, for enterprising
companies are publishing books which
outline this work in very satisfac-
tory manner. A little determination
coupled with the assistance which
boys and girls Of the school will be
only too glad to give. will make pos
sible a very helpful and practical line
OF study and experimental work which
will serve to keep many restless boy
in school and vary the routine work
for both boys and girls.

County Superintendent of Schools,
Liberal, Kansas.
Dear Madam:
| enclose poster giving full par
ticulars of the Wheat Special
train that will make stops in your
county.
The wheat special will be the
most complete educational train
ever sent out in the United States.
The agricultural college will
keep a force of men at work 30
days preparing an exhibit for this
train and will send ID experts
with the train, including the presi-
dent of the college and the direc-
tor of the experiment station.
The lectures and exhibits will be
of interest to every boy and girl
in Kansas.
Last year we operated a wheat
special in Oklahoma and the coun-
ty superintendent made special
effort to get out every boy and
girl within driving distance. The
young people we're intensely in
terested in learning the difference
in loaf volume of flour from diff
ferent grades of wheat and in
learning how to Judge and select
wheat.
The country children imme-
diately investigated the wheat on
their fathers and neighbours farms
and the city children examined
the wheat in the mills and elevat-
ors and on the farmers wagons
and investigated the flour in the
stores.
The boys and girls kept pure
seed wheat talked about in every
home for weeks and were a strong
factor in getting 100000 acres
sown with pure seed.
Will you take up the matter
with the boys and girls of your
county and get each to bring a
pint of wheat to the train, so that
they may learn how TO Judge it.
Pupils frequently drive 20 to 30
miles to come to these trains.
Sincerely yours,
H. w. CoTTRELL.
Come, boys and girls, and faith
ers and mothers and learn all that
comes your way. The state of
Kansas is doing all she can to edu-
cate her people. Come, if possible.
Let us show the state that Seward
county is in the Upward and On
ward March," and in spite of the
fact that our wheat crop is gone.
