Look Out for Grain Smut!


 This is the season to look for grain smut. At the time of thresh- ing, smutty wheat will give to the dust from the machine a very dis agreeable odor. This dust con sists of millions of spores of the smut fungus which are being thoroughly distributed throughout the seed and straw, cautions pro- lessor G. F. Freeman, Plant Breeder of the University of Ari- zona Agricultural Experiment Station. Straw from smutty wheat should be burned. The use of seed from smut infested field will also smut in the next seasons crop. Smutty wheat cannot be used for flour.
 Wheat smut can be prevented by treating the seed with formalin solution as follows. Add I lb. q pt.) of commercial formalin (4o per cent. strength) to 30 or 40 gals. of water. Dip the seeds for ten minutes and then drain them thoroughly; or else pour the formalin solution over the grain piled on the floor and stir until every grain is thoroughly wet; then pile the wet grain into a close heap and allow it to stand over night (not over I2 to IA hours); finally spread out on a clean floor to dry. In drying, the layer of wheat should not be over ? inches thick and the grain should be ranked over several times the first day to insure rapid drying. l have heard of several cases in Arizona during the past season where the treatment by formalin was said to have injured the ger imitation of seed grain. Upon investigation 1t was found that III practically every case the treated seed grain had not been properly dried. The grain was either dipped in sacks and not subse- quently removed from them for drying or else 1t was left in the close pile too long. In order to insure perfect efficiency of the | treatment and at the same time not iniure the germination of the grain 1t is important to dry the grain promptly and thoroughly after the completion of treatment. A good program is as follows: Make treatment at from 6 to 6:Io p. m. drain the grain and pile over night. At "a. m. next morn- ing spread the grain out to dry in a layer not over inches deep (I inch is better) and rake over two or three times during the day. | If these points are carefully ob- served practically no injury will result to the seed grain and the stinking or covered smut will be completely controlled. This treat ment applies tn the stinking or covered smuts of wheat and barley and to the head smut of sorghum milo. feterita, and kahr, and to the loose smut of oats. 1t does not apply to the loose smut of either wheat or barley. For a more complete discussion of the treat. ment for both loose and covered smuts see Arizona Experimen, Station Timely Hints for Farmers | No. o7.

evening after several days suffering
from acute Bright's disease. He had
been rather poorly all summe., and
for some little time before this ill
ness had with great difficulty forced
himself to his work as train dispatch

Great 1rltian's Seizure of AM
erIcan Copper and OIL.

The weakness of international
law is the lack or international
police power to enforce it and
punish infractions of it. 1t is
like a statute without penalties,
having only moral weight and
without punitive purpose.
International law is further
weakened by its lack of definite
definition. If controversy
arise under it between two nations
each country holds itself free to
hold to its own construction.
To clear up this confusion rep
resentatives of 10 powers met in
London in 1909, on invitation of
the British government, and en-
tered into what is known as the
agreement of London" in which
they attempted to define the
rights of commerce In time oil
var. They classified commodi-
ties asg psolute contraband, con-
ditiona. tontraband and free gooC
when carried in neutral ships.
Nation entering into this agree
ment were Great Britain, France
Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy
. Spain, Japan, Holland and thu
United States.
The agreement seems LITTLE
better than a scrap of paper
= Since Europe went to war Grea
Britain has put a pretty free con.
struction on international Law
