SMUT IN WHEAT.
Doud Milling Co. Anxious That Farm
ers Protect Their Wheat Against
Smut-Much Higher Price

On page 10 of this issue the Doud
Milling company use their advertising
space to tell the farmers something
about smuty wheat. Mr.. Fitch, the
manager, wrote to the experiment sta
ton at Ames regarding the wheat con-
dition in Crawford county, and re-
ceived bulletin telling of two kinds
of wheat smut, how it should be treat
ed and giving a remedy. The smut in
Crawford is known as the Sinking
smut" and by way of remedying the
condition the experts at Ames say:
ut is desirable first to stir the seed
in a tub of water so that the smut
balls, which rise to the surface, can
be SKINNED off, The treatment is to
take one pint of formalin and mix it
with forty gallons of water. This will
treat forty bushels of wheat. Spread
the wheat on the granary floor or out
side and sprinkle with sprinkling
can or spraying pump. The grain
should be shoveled over while being
sprinkled so that each kernel will
have thorough treatment. After ap-
plying the formalin cover the grain
for several hours and scatter again
when it will dry quickly"
Mr.. Fitch says that wheat that has
thus been treated brings 10 cents a
bushel more, something worth the
