way the smut may appear the next sea-

contaminated by being placed in sacks

There is no danger Of infection from
spores which occur in the soil The
only danger from reseeding a field
which has produced smutted wheat is
the chance of infected grains giving
rise to volunteer plants.
The disease Is treated as follows:
Mix one pound of 40 per cent COM
mercial formalin with forty or fifty
gallons of water In barrels. This for
malin can be secured at most any drug
store. Divide the solution between two
or three barrels and pour bushel or
so of smutted grain into barrel No. l.,
stirring thoroughly with a stick. The
smutted grains will rise to the top and
must be skinned off. Pour the solu-
ton into barrel No. and dump the
wheat out on the barn floor to dry.
Again divide the solution between the
two barrels. immense another quantity
Of wheat and proceed as before. This
solution kills the spores of the smut
adhering to the healthy grains, and
the smutted grains themselves are
SKINNED off.
The wheat should be thoroughly
dried before It is sacked. Spread in
thin layers to accomplish this and
shovel over occasionally. This solu-
ton is poisonous in considerable
quantities. but as weak as it is used it
will not injure the hands and is safe.

TREATING WHEAT FOR SMUT.

How the Disease IL Propagated and
Remedial Measures.
Prepared by Missouri Agricultural exper-
iment station.l
Sinking smut or bunt is a fungous
disease which attacks the kernels Of
the wheat plant and causes very Sc
rious loss to the crop. This disease is
propagated by means of spores. which
are formed within the grains Of the
diseased plants. An infected kernel
when broken open has a very fetid
odor, which gives the disease its COM
mon name
During thrashing a large number Of
diseased kernels are broken open and
the spores set free. which adhere to the
healthy kernels. When the kernels are
planted the fungous spores terminate
and Immediately penetrate the young
wheat seedlings. The fungus continues
to grow within the tissues of the plant
at the growing tip. but gives no appar-
ent evidence of its presence until the
wheat plant begins to form the new
grain. At this time the fungus devel-
ops very rapidly and forms its spores
within the wheat kernels. The diseased
kernels are enlarged. which causes the
glumes Of the wheat flower to stand
out giving the head an enlarged ap-
pearance. but other than this there Is
no evidence Of the diseased condition Of
the field until some of the kernels be
come broken and the odor Is given of.
