process of cleaning up would not take
very long with little organization.
The sinking smut of wheat and the
covered smut of barley and the smut
of oats are propagated from year to
year, principally by the spores cling
ing to the outside Of seed. Clean
seed is of prime Importance.
This can sometimes be produced
from clean fields, but is hardly to be
relied upon, as only minute examina-
tion before cutting Will make sure,
and farther, as has been said, it is
easy for seed to be afterwards if
fected even by spores blown from
neighboring fields and infect seed for
the following year with loose smut
when the grain is heading. Disin-
fection, on the other hand, shortly
before planting will insure clean seed
for that season.
Fortunately there are several treat
ments which are effective for all kinds
of smut. They consist of soaking
the grain in solution which will kill
the smut sports but not injure the
grain. The formation treatment con-
sists of a solution of 40 per cent of
formaldehyde gas in water. 1t can
be bought for from so cents to 81 a
pound of sixteen ounces and will treat
from twenty-five to fifty bushels of
grain. If there is any doubt as to the
strength, half-pint sample should be
sent to the chemist at ones gricul-
tural college for analysis; unless near
ly 40 per cent strength it should not
be used.
Mix at the rate Of one pound of
formation to forty-five gallons of wa
ter. The grain must be thoroughly
wetted in the solution according to
the method most convenient. Small
quantities may be dipped, bushel in
sack, and placed on draining plat
form from which the dip runs back
into the tub, and when this method is
used grain can do to the drill in the
same sacks.
Sprinkling grain and then shovel
ing over thoroughly until all outside
parts have been thoroughly wetted will
answer with oats and barley, but
should not be used with wheat when
there are smut balls in the grain as
it'does not thoroughly disinfect them.
Even barley and oats should be cover
ed with tarpaulin after sprinkling,
to retain the gas.
Wheat with smut ball present needs
Immersion and the smut balls should
be skinned off as they rise on the
surface of the water. For this pur-
pose any perforated vessel or screen
that can be set in another,- full of
liquid, will serve the grain remaining
till wetted through and then dumped
in pile with that already treated,
and allowed to remain covered for a
couple of hours or over night.
There are number of machines
now on the market for treating grain.
They consist in the main of tank
and elevator for removing the grain,
ard there are usually enough old gears
lying around the farm to make SUBJ
stantially the same thing, although
the best ones have device by which
the smut balls are automatically re-
moved instead of being skinned by
hand. The formation solution must be
used at the strength given as if too
ST. ong it will injure the grain and if
too weak fail of its object in con-
trolling smut.

he found that all employers of
female help here are obeying the

watch their purse closely in
order to do it. While Mr.. Toene
is not at all in full sympathy
with the law. it is not for him
to do other than enforce it.

FLOWING BEING DONE
ON LARGE SCALE

Last Saturday a representative

Mr.. Kerr has gasoline plow-

chains instead Of drive wheels,
as are the ordinary engines.
The chains revolve and provide a
large, firm foundation for the en-
CINE at all times, eliminatingt he
jars and jerks so destructive to
most engines and giving it greater

He is clearing and blowing
from 20 to % acres a day and the
work is satisfactory in every re-
spect. The ground is left free
from brush and the soils plowed
to a depth of seven inches. He
is constructing a new model brush
remover, with which he expects

ATTENDANCE PROMISES
TO BE VERY LARGE

E. B. Daley returned the lat

that at every place he visited he
found a strong sentiment in favor
of the Branch Agricultural Col
lege and every indication that
more young men and women
would take advantage of the
school than have heretofore at
tended the Branch Normal. One
woman from as far east as Cir
cleville wants to bring her three
large children here that they may
secure the benefits of the school
provided she can secure a house.
AS houses for rent are not to be
had, it is quite likely the school
will be deprived of three students
as a result.

LEADING MARKETS
CLOSE THURSDAY
Week Will Be Short in Cot
ton Because of Easter
Holidays

New Orleans, March 1G.-This will be a
short week in the cottSn market because
of the Easter holiday. All of the lar-e
markets of the world viii c,ose Thursday
night. On this side Of tho water they will
reopen Monday, but Liveroool will not
reopen until Tuesday. These triple and
puadruple holidays will undoubtedly have
the effect of curtailing the business, as
few traders will care to carry heavy COM
mitments over such long period of in
activity with the political and financial
situation in Europe as unsettled as it is.
Again, weather Developments in the
cotton belt of the south may be impor-
tant.
The desire to even up will be intensified
by the fact that the final report of the
season on cotton ginning by the census
bureau will be issued Thursday morning,
the last day of the week, leaving only
one session of trading in which to dis
count any features of Importance which
it may contain. The trade is still very
much undecided over what TO expect in
this report some estimates being as low
as 1S,75OOOo bales. while others are as
high as 14,50o,000, while 14,2500o Is not at all
uncommon. Probably large element OF
| the trade looks for between 14,lO0,0U and
| 14,250,000 bales.
! Weather conditions will be important
1 this week. Too much rain has fallen over
large part of the cotton region of late,
and if these rains continue this week, the
short interest in the future market VIII
| feel alarmed as this interest has pecn
built up on belief in a large acreage and
| an early start for the new crop. More
rain will cause delay to plowing and also
to planting in the earlier sections. On
/ the other hand, fair weather Will allow
| crop work to go ahead
| The cotton market is beginning to watch
European events more closely. because
| ii is becoming convinced that war scares
and tight money have more to do with
the great lessened imports of american
cotton and the conservative attitude OF
buyers of spot cotton than any otner lac-
| tor. Unfavorable developments IN Er-
rope will have tendency to depress the
old crop months while favorable develop
ments would arouse hope that the ue-
mand for actual cotton was about to I'M
prove.
