KEEPING ROADS IN REPAIR
kina Split Loe-Drao 10 One Of Best I'm.
plements That Has Vet Been De-
vlsed for Purpose.

By r. M DoLvE, Professor Of Farm
Mechanics North Dakota Agricultural
College.)
One of the best implements yet de-
vised for repairing roads Is the King
split log drag or some modification Of
It, which may be made either Of wood
or steel The roads should be dragged
with this implement as soon after a
rain as possible; when the drag
squeezes the water out Of the soil,
leaving smooth layer of puddled soil
on the road surface which bakes hard
when dry and sheds water like a
duck" The effect of the drag is ac-
cumulative in way very much similar
the application Of paint on build
ng-for the thinner the coats and the
reater the number the more lasting Is
the paint Every time the drag is used
. new layer Of puddled soil is smeared
On top of the previous one until, after
several years Of accumu1ative effect Of
nragging, road crust consisting of a
arge number Of thin layers Of puddled
roll Is formed that will support the
heaviest traffic without breaking up.
The drag not only keeps the road
mooth and we'll crowned, but also
keeps the bitches clean, so that II out

STORY OF CORN SMUT
Spores Blown Out by Wind and
Carried Some Distance.
Tubes Start to Grow on Ground, and
Demonstration Shows the Old Ma
nure 10 Much Better for Fer
tIIIzInQ Than New.

By E. M. FREEMAN, Phi. D., Professor
Of Vegetable Pathology and Botany,
Minnesota Agricultural Experiment
Station.)
The smut-mass Of corn-smut varies
greatly in size, and may be found on
any part of the plant. The smut
spores which come from this mass
are blown out by the wind, and may
OF course be carried to considerable
distance; or the smut-mass itself may
be broken off and thrown on the
ground, or perhaps into refuse or
manure pile. The spores in the ma
nure pile or on the ground may star.
to grow. When they grow they send
out small, delicate, colorless tubes;
and these little tubes may form more
spores; so that in a fresh manure pile
the spores may actually increase dur
ing the winter. However, as the ma
nure pile grows old, the spores may
die off; and hence old manure Is bet
ter for fertilizing purposes than fresh
manure. Having lived over the win
ter, either in the ground or in the
mduuTe PIE, Ill early suiHiiiel, Iho
smut renews it's growth. Again its
tiny spores are picked up by the wind
and blown about. Some Of these
spores are blown upon young corn
plant or on young part of an older
corn plant. Such spore will ger
inmate, producing a small tube, and
this tube will grow into the corn plant,
p ?ot~ating the skin or epidermis.
WI IN the delicate little thread gets
ins g.. the corn plant it continues to
goy', both in length and by branch
ing, and soon produces complex net
work Of threads. These threads slim
ulate the corn plant, SO that it grows
very fast in their nelghborhood. All
this time the threads are still grow
ing and feeding on the corn plant.
When this has gone on for sometime.
the smut-threads commence to break
up into small pieces. and each piece
rounds up and becomes q spore. The
whole boil-like structure tu:ns black
and powdery, and we have again the
Spore-mass or smut.mass. {
OF the common smuts attacking
minnesota grains, none is, known
which has q lHestory similar to that
of the corn plant.

Loose smut of wheat Is the one h

Of wheat for -four purposes az the
smut is chiefly scattered by the wind
before harvest No mode Of seed

which will prevent its occurrence.
For six years it has appeared in about

spores of this fungus are produced in
the grains, chaff and other flower

harvest time the switching Of the
plants has busted of most Of the
smut masses, the spores being blown
about by the wind from field to field

plants have matured their powdery
mass of smut spores. These spores

Of other oat plants. As these flow.

that field may be free of oat smut

Previous to setting the plants the
soil should be deeply plowed in order
