Allen On Taft.

Fremont Tribune: Former United
States Senator William V. Allen is an
eminent anti-republican who is not at
all sure President Taft can be defeat
ed in this year of grace. He is quite
certain, on the contrary, that Prof.
Wilson, now governor of New Jersey,
cannot do it. He enumerates some
good reasons for thinking it. He
says the professor has not had the
experience in doing the worlds work
that is demanded by the people of
the United States as qualification
fitting a candidate for the presidency;
that he is theoretical, impractical.
There is in Senator Aliens comment
good deal of weight. He is an old
hand in politics and he fully expects
behind President Taft, candidly ad.
hitting the achievements of the pres.
ident when submitted to the careful
and searching scrutiny of presiden
tial campaign will command vast re-
spect from the voters. Some of his
old-time associates are charging the
senator with being reactionary. Hard
ly that, we should say; only giving
honest recognition to palpable facts.
This is so unusual from that side of
the political fence as to be unclassi'
fled, so that in doing so it is little
wonder his old-time associates do not
know how to locate him.

Protest to President Taft.
Lincoln, Feb. 9-The members of
the Anti-Saloon league of Nebraska
are against the elevation of Secretary
Charles Nagel, of the department Of
commerce and labor, to a position on
the supreme bench, and President
Taft is to be acquainted with their
position. Supt. II. +. Carson Of the
league sent a message to the presi-
dent, in which he said:
"The Anti-Saloon league, in the
name of 5000 temperance voters of
Nebraska, most emphatically protest
against the appointment of Secretary
Nagel, the attorney of Adolphus
Busch, to the supreme bench. His
appointment would further incense
these voters and lose them to your adj

TREATMENT FOR DAT SMUT.

1t will cost about eight to ten cent?
per acre for treating oats with formal
dehyde for smut. BY large number OF
tests over the state 1t has been found
that on conservative basis there
is loss of from z to 10 per cent
due alone to smut; or in other words,
the farmer loses annually from
three to five bushels of oats per
acre to smut which could have been
eliminated for not to exceed ten cents
per acre by treating the seed with
formaldehyde One pound Of formal
dehyde Gao per cent? mixed with 40
gallons of water will treat 40 bushels
OF oats. The oats should be spread
out about four or five inches deep; a
sprinkler is very convenient method
OF al plying the solution. While the
solution is being added 1t is well that
the oats be stirred "a rake can be
used for this purpose), in order that
the solution may become equally dis
tr1buted. The oats should then be
shoveled into a pile and covered with
blankets or gunny sacks. something
to prevent the formaldehyde from
evaporating too readily. This treat
ment may be done in the evening and
the oats left covered during the night.
The following morning they might be
uncovered and again spread out. BY
stirring them occasionally 1t will be
found that they will soon dry out and
may be sown the same day. If more
oats are treated than are needed for
seed, they may be fed after they have
been left exposed to the air for "a to
~ hours, during which time the for
will have evaporated. The
formaldehyde treatment Is the sim
plest and most effective treatment for
smut in oats. In purchasing the
great care must he
taken that it is of the proper strength
as above stated Should 1t be weak.
the treatment will be of no avail.
