tipping IN a solution OF fOFnalin.
First 1t is necessary to obtain for
nlalin guaranteed to be a 40 per cent
solution. This can be obtained at
The drug store, but must be up 10
standard, otherwise the treatment will
be ineffective.
Pour L pint Il 3D. of the 40 per
cent forinalin solution into 40 to 80
gallons OF water. Stewart and Ste
gens, of he Utah station (Bulletin 1889,
found that all solutions of formalln
that would kill smut spores had a low
ering effect on the terminating power
of the seed, but that oats could stand
a stronger solution thar wheat. They
found that more wheat was killed IN
a solution Of l to 40 than in a solution
of / to 80 gallons OF water. There
fore, it would be better to approach
the ] to so solution, III the formalln
is up to standard strength. Mix the
solution ia a barrel. tub or tank. Use
water tina It's not too cold, it would
be better to have the water about
room temperature if possible. The
grain to be treated may be handled
sither In burlap or 'ganny" sacks or
wire baskets. It is best not TO handle
over one-lalf hushel at a time. me
grain may be put into the solution
loose. at which time the smut balls
can be skinned of. If this method
for removing the smut balls is follow
I'd 1t will be necessary to draw the
solution from one container to anoth-
CT. Dip the sack or basket containing
the grain into the solution until all the
grain IS completely covered. Raise
and let drain. Repeat this until all the
grain is thoroughly vet. It is best 70
seaye jill the solution for ten or fifteen
minutes. The grain may be left for
an hour in the solution without injury,
but this Isl unnecessary and not aaVls-
able. After treatment the grain may
be left in sacks for eight or ten hours.
Even better would be TO dump the
grain out or Il clean floor or canvas
and cover with sacking or old canvas
and leave over nisht. Then the grain
!, must be spread out to dry, unless II
