Smut Is an nSldious eneiny that
causes millions OF dollars or loss an

after year, realizing that there Is
little smut present. yet utterly milling

it involves. 1t Is one parasitic dis

very small outlay for chemicals ana
involving comparatively little labor,
says writer in the Iowa Homestead.
While there are several remedies,
we have always preferred formalin in
the proportion of one pound of this
chemical to forty gallons of water.
Formaln. it may be said, is Il 40 per
cent solution of formaldehyde. Grain
to be treated should be spread out on
the barn floor and the mixture of wa
ter and formalin added until the
whole mass becomes thoroughly wet.
Uniform wetting can only be accom-.
pllshed by freely shoveling the grain
over and over When we first began
treating grain for smut we used a
sprinkling can, thinking in that way
that we would do the work cautiously
and yet thoroughly. But we very soon
learned that where any considerable
amount of grain was to be treated
sprinkling can was not necessary. We
simply made a trench through the CEN
ter of the grain and began pouring on
our liquid with an ordinary pail.
When the water started to seep from
the sides of the pile che shovels were
then started. We learned that
bushel of grain would take up about
one gallon Of water, so that forty
bushels would require only one pound
of formaln.
After the grain has been thoroughly
wet it should he shoveled into deep.
