HOW TO TREAT BARLEY SMUT
NV r. A. Moore,)


Grain smut Is one OF the worst enc

ten per cent. II you do not treat 1t
properly before sowing. Most of the
select varieties OF seed, barley now
on the market are nearly free from
smut. . EE
Repeated experiments have proven
that formaldehyde alone will not kill
both kinds of barley smut. and We
therefore recommend the warm water
treatment. .Ae."

Test Your Thermometer.
Do not treat more than one or two
sacks the first year. This will give
you enough seed which Is free from

Every farmer should have his own
seed patch from which to select the
