Kinds of Broom Corn Smut.

There are in this country two we'll
known smuts of broom corn: The
grain, or kernel, smut, and the head
smut.
The smuts are among the most de-
structive enemies OF sorghums. 1t
may be that the actual loss from smut
In these highly important crops rs not,
at present as serious as that sustain
ed by oats and wheat, but it Is never
theless quite considerable and Is GER
tainly serious in some localities. The
chief danger from these smuts Is tho
probability Of their rapid spread II
proper precautions are not taken to
hold them in check. The area wheHol
sorghum crops are grown Is being rap
idly extended, and with this extension
the smuts may easily be distributed
over new areas. By using simple pre-
cautions at the present time, farmers
may avoid much disappointment and
loss in the future. The losses caused
by smuts of oats, barley and wheat
throughout the United States ought tol
prove a sufficient warning to the farm
Ors and communities, which are now
either growing or introducing sor-
ghum crops, because the smuts Of sor-
ghums may yet cause as much dam
age as those Of the other cereals men
toned.

when l first saw the great sea
wall at Galveston. It does not
look as great as it is, for we can
only see the side next to the sea
and that is piled high with rocks
to break the force of the incom-
ing waves.

feet high and twenty feet wide

Cheaper to Buy Broom Corn Seed.

Cheaper to Buy Broom Corn Seed.
James Jay of Lindsay, Okla. an old
Illinois Grower of Broom Corn writes
as follows:
1t has been my experience that it is
much cheaper to buy broom corn seed
from those who make business OF
raising pure seed, than it is to save
It, as broom corn runs out very cas-
lily. and 1t requires a great deal Of
work to cut out any smut heads when
1t is growing.
One method of seed testing is to test
the seed in warm water but we have
not secured any inferior seed from our
seedsmen. Seventy-five to one hun
bred seeds are planted to the rod. This
is determined, however, according to-
the ground. On rich land, one hun
dred seeds are planted to the rod,
but on fair land only about eighty.
Good seed produces broom corn that
brings the highest price.

the sacks out and set them to dram.
Spread the seed out on q clean floor

In handling the grain after treatment
are cleaned either with boiling water
or with a strong formaln soluuons
The seed will be infected again II any
untreated smut spore touch 1t. When
the seed is sufficiently dry after treat
ment it may be sown. The same 50,
luton may also be used as spray;
in which case the seed to be treated
should be spread out on a clean floor
or canvas and sprinkled with the So
luton. 1t must be shoveled over fre-
quently until all of the seeds are wet
1t may then be shoveled into a pile
and left over night, covered with q
clean canvas or sacking to keep in
the fumes, and then spread out to dry
in the morning. Seed treated in this
way will be free from smut. The I'M
mersion method Is more thorough, but.
is not as convenient as the sprinkling
method.

Many children living in the ru-
raj districts have experienced
the disadvantages of roads made
impossible through a lack of
proper maintenance and it is ex-
pected that their interest in the
competition will stimulate great
er interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining proper
education and have even pre-
vented doctors from reaching
the side of rural patients in time
to save their lives.
Any child between the ages
mentioned attending a country
school, may compete. Only one
side of the paper must be written
on, each page should benumber
ed, the name, age, and address
of the writer, and the name and
location of the school which he

first page. The announcement
of the competition has been sent
to the superintendent of schools
in the rural districts. No
further information can be OBJ
| tanned from the Office of Public

should be plain to everyone, and
all children will TINS start on a

broom corn should not be planted
within ten rods of sorghum, maize.
Kaffir or other species of the sorghum

above will point out to the grower the
serious mistake they have made in the
past by planting broom corn near 9th
