HOW TO TREAT BARLEY SMUT
fRx r. A. Moore.l

Grain smut is one Of the worst enc
mics, and you will lose from i've to
ten per cent. If you do not treat It
properly before sowing. Most OF tho
select varieties of seed barley now
on the market are nearly free from
smut
Repeated experiments have proven
that tormaldehyde alone will not Kill
both kinds of barley smut. and We
therefore recommend the warm water
trea tment.
Hot Water for Loose Smut.
Soak sack of barley II hours IN
cold water, let drain for one hour. put
in cask of warm water, not over $50
degrees Fahrenheit, for minute or
two 10 take of the chill and then sub
merge in barrel of warm water held at
constant temperature OF 1870 degrees
Fahrenheit for six minutes. II you
grees, you will kill the germ and ruin
your seed. Carefully test your Their
mometer by the standard thermome-
ter at the cheese factory or creamery.
After removing sack of barley. empty
on threshing floor to cool and SOW a.
soon as possible thereafter, because II
left for two or three days before SOW
ing, barley may sprout Use gunny
sacks in which to put barley for treat
ment and do not have them more than
half filed as this will allow the pene-
tration of the temperature readily.
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
smut to plant all of next years crop.
Every farmer should have his own
seed patch from which to select the
best each year for the next years
seed patch, using what is left for gen.
eral sowing.
FormaIdehyde for Closed Smut.
Thoroughly mix 16 ounces avoirdu-
pois Il pint formaldehyde in tank
or barrel containing SO gallons of wa
ter; put your seed in gunny sack
| and dip it into this solution. Soak 1t
good for few minutes; take out tho
grain and allow it to drain for few
minutes; then empty the grain on q
clean floor and cover with wet sacks
or with canvas for an hour. Treat
the grain at least a half day before
sowing, in. order to give 1t time to
dry.
If you prefer, you can spread tho
seed grain on clean floor and spray
the seed with common sprinkling
| can. or still better with small force

1t should be shoveled over and over
until the seed is thoroughly moistened.
then cover with few sacks or
blanket for an hour. Allow seed to
dry before sowing.
Sixteen ounces Of formaldehyde in
Sc gallons Of water will treat 40 to
SO bushels. and should cost 80 to IS
cents. Be sure that the formaldehydo
is Of standard quality.

BUY SEED OATS AT home.
Buy seed oats at hume.

buy SeeQ OdtS dt HulIle.
That is the lesson gathered from
some years Of experimentation at the
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton by L. C. Burnett, assistant in
farm crops. In a new bulletin just
issued by the station and based on
his work. Mr.. Burnett makes this
statement:
'The experience of this station
after purchasing and growing seven
ty-seven samples repres enting twenty
varieties is that the practice of buy
ing seed oats away from home is
questionable"
That is true, Mr.. Burnett indicates.
because the quality of seed used does
not seem to be as important a factor
in growing crop as acclimatizatlon.
It is more important that the seed be
adapted to the particular community
in which it is to be grown. and its
soil and climate, than that it have
record for large production under al
together different conditions.
This fact is borne out by the e.-
periments with these many samples
through number of years, out it is
illustrated by one particular example
cited by Mr.. Burnett.
In 1907 a graduate of the college
who was located in Wyoming bought
a sample of the magnificent oats that
won the championship at the Portland
exposition. These oats had been
grown in Wyoming, they weighed
"a 1-2 pounds per bushel and they
were the choicest oats seen at the
college in years. They were named
"Portland' and planted in the station
tests.
The performance of these oats the
first year, 1907, was disappointing. 1t
yielded only 1877 bushels per acre.
weighing II 1-2 pounds to the bushel.
It was discovered that these oats
came from the Irish Victor stock.
some of which had been used by the
experiment station for some time.
The Irish Victor, growing under the
same conditions, produced the same
year % bushels per acre, weighing 10
pounds per bushel. The Portland"
oats were seeded each year after that
and now they approximate in yield
the Irish Victor.
From this and other experiments
like it, the conclusion is drawn that
acclimitization is a more important

he should be overheard by invisible
ears. "The ghost! Suppose, all the
same, it were ghost who puts the
magic envelopes on the table

after all, there is no one here except
you and me. and, If the notes disap
pear and neither you nor have any
thing to do with 1t, we'll, we shall
have to believe in the ghost

At that moment, the clock on the
mantlepiece gave its warning clicb
and the first stroke Of twelve struck.
The two managers shuddered. The
perspirstion streamed from their fore
heads. The twelfth stroke sounded
strangely in their ears.
When the clock stopped, they gave
a sigh and rose from their chairs.
II think we can go now" said Mon
charmin.
Il think so," Richard agreed.
Before we go, 40 you nina II J

But, of course, Moncharmin. you

Moncharmin was feeling at the
pocket.

''Of course. as you said. We can't
be robbed without noticing it,
But Moncharmin, whose hands were
still fumbling, beloved:
81 can feel the pin, but l can't feel
the hottest"
Come, no joking, Moncharmin!
This isn't the time for It."
well, feel for yourself"
Richard tore off his coat. The two
managers turned the pocket inside
out. The pocket was empty. And
the curious thing was that the pin re-
NAMED, stuck in the same place.
Richard and Moncharmin turned
pale. There was no longer any doubt
about the witchcraft.
THE ghost!" muttered Moncharmin.
But Richard suddenly sprang upon
his partner
mo one but you has touched my
pocket! Give me back my twenty.

back my twenty thousand francs!"

The Safety-Pin Again.

Moncharmin's last phrase so clearly

now held his partner that it was
bound to cause a stormy explanation,

who was victimizing them.
This brings us to the interval after
the Garden Act. with the strange con.
duct observed by NJ. Remy and those
curious lapses from the dignity that
might be expected OF the managers.
1t was arranged between Richard and
Moncharmin, first, that Richard should
repeat the exact movements which he
had made on the night OF the disap.
pearance of the first twenty-thousand
francs; and, second, that Moncharmin
should not for an instant lose sight
of Richards coat-tail pocket, into
which Name CRY was to slip the
twenty-thousand francs.
NJ Richard went and placed him

had stood when he bowed to the I'm.

making 1t impossible for her to com.

Meanwhile, M. Richard was bending

though, these marks of politeness
