TREATMENT FOR DAT SMUT.
Seven to Ten Per Cent. Lost In Pro.
duction by Not Treating for
Smut.
(By L. n. BolIey.)

National Crop Improvement Service.]
It will cost about eight to ten cents
per acre for treating oats with formal
dehyde for smut. BY large number
of tests it has been found that on q
conservative basis there is loss from
seven to ten per cent. due alone to
smut; or in other words, the farmer
loses annually from three to five
bushels Of oats per acre to smut which
could have been eliminated for not to
exceed ten cents per acre by treating
the seed with formaldehyde. One
pound of formaldehyde (40 per cent.
mixed with 40 gallons of water will
treat 40 bushels of oats. The oats
should be spread out about four or i've
inches deep; sprinkler is very
convenient method of applying the so
luton. While the solution is being
added it is well that the oats be
stirred "a rake can be used for this
purpose), in order that the solution
may become equally distributed. The
oats should then be shoveled into q
pile and covered with blankets by
gunny sacks, something to prevent the
formaldehyde from evaporating too
readily. This treatment may be done
ir the evening, and the oats left cover
cd during the night. The following
morning they might be uncovered and
spread out. BY stirring them occasion
ally it will be found that they will
soon dry out and may be sown the
same day. ..
Simplest and Best.
II more oats are treated than are
needed for seed, they may be fed aft
er they have been exposed to the air
for "a to 48 hours, during which time
the formaldehyde will have evapo-
rated. The formaldehyde treatment is
the simplest and most effective treat
ment for smut In oats. In purchasing
the formaldehyde, great care must
be taken that it Is of the proper
strength as above stated. Should it
be weak, the treatment will be of no
avail
Advice to Local Druggists.
This matter of the farmers in your
immediate locality being able to pro-
cure formaldehyde Of standard
strength is one of vital importance to
you. You and your town will pros
per only as the farmers that surround
and make your town. It Is an easy
thing for you to see to it that they get
only the full strength and weight.
have found that many so-called pound
bottles Of formaldehyde contain only
IL to 13 ounces. The formula calls for
16 ounces-for pound. The different
treatments will fail If made upon a
weaker basis. Farmers often wish to
know If solution which has been
made up for time loses its strength.
There is loss of formaldehyde from
the barrel but the water evaporates
faster than the formaldehyde so that
the actual solution in the barrel is
really stronger than when first made
up. though not 80 much of it.

National Crop Improvement 6ervice.l
A carefully prepared seed bed has
been one Of the most neglected fea,
lures in connection with the produc
ton of oats. 1t Is very common
practice to see an end-gate seeder at
work In fields where the corn stalks
still remain standing on the ground
As matter Of fact, most of tha
preparation of the seed bed has been
very largely done after the oats have
been sown. Such practices will have
to be done away with before we can
expect the average yield of oats to be
materially increased. The preparation
of the seed bed by no means receives
the attention that 1t should in conrec
ton with all our grains, but especially
Is 1t deficient with our oats.

Depth to Plant Oats.

National Crop Improvement Seryice.]
The proper depth to SOW the seed
and the best manner Of sowing will
depend much upon the soil Better
results have been obtained by shall
low sowing. One inch is the best
depth at which to SOW oats. Drilling
is the best way of seeding where the
seed bed is properly prepared. be-
cause the depth of seeding can be
made more precise and uniform.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR OATS.
tHy F. n. pemaree, Asronomist.,

{By r. II. Demaree, Agrononist.,
The main factors which influence
the profitable growing of oats are:
LIST. The use of the best adapted
variety. Tested for termination.
End Grading of seed.
3rd Thorough preparation OF the
ground.
4th. Drilling ten pecks instead OF
broadcasting twelve pecks.
5th. Early seeding.
9Th. The prevention Of smut by the
formaldehyde treatment
7tn. The rotation of crops.

Amour. of Oats Seed to Sow.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
The yield Of oats varies somewhat
with the rate of seeding. Experiments
have shown that where oats are drill
ed in, in the corn belt, ten pecks per
acre give best results. This will prob
ably be reduced in the northern states
where oats are better adapted
