Treating Oats for Smut.

If you have not sowed your
oats, it will probably pay you to
consider this matter of treating
for smut. Often the total yield
is reduced % per cent on account
of this fungus disease. In an ex-
pertinent at Columbia the yield
was increased 10 bushels per acre
by treating the grain for smut.
Smut is not noticeable in the
yield until the grain heads out as
this fungus grows inside the
grain plant. At harvest and
threshing time the smut is scat
tered over healthy grain where it
clings until the following spring.
When the grain grows the smut
seeds also and when the grain
heads out the smut takes the place
of many kernels.
The treatment is simple, Make
solution by mixing one pound
or pint of formaldehyde with 4C
gallons of water. This should be
40 per cent formaldehyde, which
can be procured at any drug store
at about 80 to so cents per pint
After tanning your seed, spreaC
