Hot o' WseeF F0E Erea hsSiS smut Requires
degrees Fahrenheit for six minutes. If
you get the Water too hot, even FIVE
degrees, you will kill the germ and
ruin your seed Carefully test your
thermometer by the standard ther-
mometer at the cheese factory or
creamery. After removing sack of
barley, empty. on threshing floor to
cool and sow as soon as possible
thereafter, because if left for two or
three days before sowing, barley may
sprout. Use gunny sacks in which 20
put barley for treatment and do not
have them more than half filled as
this will allow the penetration 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 general
! sowing.
Formaldehyde for Closed Smut.
Thoroughly mix sixteen ounces
avoirdupois Zone pint) formaldehyde
in tank or barrel containing thirty
six gallons of water; put your seed in
a gunny sack and dip it into this solu-
ton. Soak it good for few minutes;
take out the grain and allow it to
drain for few minutes; then empty
the grain on a clean foor 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 it time,to dry.
If you prefer, you can spread the
seed grain on a clean floor and spray
the seed with common sprinkling
can, or still better with a small force
pump, which will throw an even spray.
It should be shoveled over and over
until the seed is thoroughly moist
ened, then cover with a few sacks or
blanket for an hour. Allow seed to
| dry before sowing.

thirty-six gallons of water will treat
forty to fifty bushels, and should cost
thirty to thirty-fve cents. Be sure
that the formaldehyde is of standard
! quality. <

The Reindeer

Upon. starlit night,
The best of horn and hoof,
Eight noble reindeer stood
And stamped upon a roof.
A sudden shot rang out,
A shot that fatal sped.
Hit in mortal spot.
Down fell the eight deer dead
Beneath the snow spread roof
A man in ruthless cause
Had told a little boy
There was no Santa Claus.
And after they were killed
Throughout his life's long grind
The little boy saw not
Another Of their kind. .
Whereof the moral lies:
In sports fair playing name
Pray let December be
Close season for the game.

HOW 'TO TREAT /. DaAL \ SMUT.
Formaldehy and Hot Water Meth
II DDS Of Fighting This Disease.
BY r. "A. Moore.

National Crop Improvement Service. ]
Grain smut IS one Of the worst enc
mics, and you will lose from five, to
ten per cent if you do not treat It
properly before sowing. Most Of til.
select elect 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
treatment. .. .'1rl1 r. ~ "a.
Hot Water for Loose Smut. "
Soak sack of barley twelve hours in
cold water, let drain for one hour, put
III cask OF warm water, not over one

1t was just the faintest little mouse
like click, but it meant a latch.key in
the front door, not twenty feet away
and Tom had to act on the instant.
The only refuge was a heavy plush
curtain suggesting a concealed door,
and he darted behind it's folds. The
door was locked on the other side.
The front door had opened now, and
any change of position was impossi.
BILE. Tom blessed his leanness, find.
ing that by standing straight in the
narrow space he made no perceptible
bulge in the plush. With his pocket
knife he deity slit peephole in time
to see a young woman come with
quick, cautious steps into the room.
Obviously this was Miss Evangeline
%s She was painting little, her hands
pressed nervously together, her teeth
working at the lower lip. She began
to pace up and down, very softly, with
tense excitement in every line Sud.
denly she paused, listening, her eyes
directed straight at the plush hanging.
Tom, nerved for feminine shrek,
poised himself in readiness to set out
at the first note; but she turned and
went swiftly to the front door. An in.

MAKING LAND PAY
Alfalfa, Silos and Live Stock Added
to Corn. i es u

i Dean c. F. Curtiss, Iowa Agricultural
College, Ames: when we can raise
seven tons of alfalfa on one acre of
Iowa land, we need not be afraid that
land would get SO high that it would not
pay out on the investment. If we could
grow alfalfa, have a silo alongside of it,
s. as to mix the feed, we could double

new SCHOOL LAWS
DR.. JOINER EXPLAINS THEM TO
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT r
AT THEIR MEETING.
WERE IN SESSION TWO DAYS
Six Months School Law and CompuI-
sorry Attendance Statutes Receive
Detailed Attention.-Other Business
Transacted at Meeting.

Charlottesville meeting of the
county superintendent of the middle
western district of the state recently
adjourned after being in session two
days
The most important things consid-
cred at the meeting and the things
occupying most of the associations
time were the new six-monrn schoo:
law and the compulsory attendance
law. The workings of both laws
were explained in all their details by
State Superintendent OF Public In
struction j. Y. Joyner, who has, of
course, given a great deal OF time
to studying out the various problems
that arise in connection with the
application of the laws.
Prof Joyner believes that the $3.50,
900 equalization fund provided by the
state will enable each county to have
at least a five months term of school
and perhaps a five and a half months
term. The counties are to provide
for themselves a four months term
of school, by special tax if there is
not sufficient income otherwise, and
the county has provided for the four
months term the state will appro-
pirate from the equalizing fund to
the county for the pay of first-grade
teachers $40 per month, $50 for sec
ond grade teachers. and $40 for as
.sistants for two months thus length
ening out the term for two months.
The money from the state is to be
of course, apportioned according to
number of pupils, need of teachers,
etc. 1t may be that for the first
year, according to Prof. Joyner, that
the term will not be over five and a
half months over the entire state but
by next year the six months term
will be assured.
