HOW SMUT A

TREATMENT OF SEED WOULD
SAVE BIG LOSS IN SMALL
GRAIN FROM THIS DIS

Brookings, s. D.TThe annual,
loss due to smuts in grain in, the Unit
led States is estimated at $35,000,-
IOOO," writes, Manley Champlin, as
~sociate oagronomist of the South Da-
kota> State College. He, says, fur
lther that every farmer must ask
himself: What share Of this enorm-

much Joss Is due to smut.
"a good way to find out Is to go
into the field when t4e grain is in
full head and count one hundred
heads in a drill row. AS you count,
check off the number of smutted
heads. Try this in several places in.
the field. Add the number of smut
ted heads found together and divide
by the number of places examined.
This will give a fair estimate of the
per cent of smut in your field or the
dollars per hundred loss due to 1t.
1.-The loose smut Is recognizedhby
the nearly destruction of the head.
The covered smut usually can be To-
Gated by the abnormal growth of the
head. If such heads are squeezed
they will usually emit a foul SMELL
ing mass of black spores.
Smut of wheat, oats, and barley
is pr~eventable.a Covered smut of
wheat, barley, and oats is prevented
by treating. the seed with a. solution
of one pint of formalin to 40 gallons
of water. Loose smut of barley and
wheat may be prevented by soaking
the seed four hours In cold water
| and then p1uneing it itno warm wat
er at, 126 to, 1923 degrees Fahrenheit
for ten minutes, respectively. The
Halter treatment can best be applied
to small lots for seed plots rather
than for large fields"

Haskins Interprets.

The government of the United
States carries on a great many scien-
tific investigations, and has several
bureaus devoted exclusively to such
work. The men in charge of these
bureaus are scientists whose habits OF
thought are in consonance with the
palnstaking technical accuracy OF
science.
How to tell about their work with
such accuracy of statement as will
meet with their desire for exactitude
and, at the same time, to put enough
human interest in the story to make
1t understandable to the average
reader. is q perplexing problem fol
every writer who attempts the task
Perhaps the most successful interpre-
ter of the scientific work of the feder-
al government today is Frederick j
Haskin, whose daily letters in the
newspapers of the country have taken
first rank in presenting accurately
and at the same time interestingly
the story of the various scientific
operations OF the government.
Mr.. Haskin has proved his mettle II
this field in his excellent book. "The
American Government" Whether
he is describing an instrument SO del
icate that it will register the heat
given of by candle at distance Of
five miles, or machine SO powerful
that it can exert a force great enough
to lift bodily 5000 tons of material;
whether he is telling how the govern.
ment regulates the time of the coun
try or how it studies the germ Of
hydrophobia, Mr.. Haskin's story no
only is as accurate as arithmetic, bu
as fascinating as fiction.
No reader can afford to miss thi
book. It is equivalent to a trip Il

Not An Idle Dream.

Proper Change.


While the Telegram is not sure
that only one change is needed in
the delinquent tax law OF the state, II
Is impressed with the logic advanced
by the Parkersburg State Journal in
its comment as follows on an idea
offered by the Ceredo Advance, al
though 1t may seem to have mer-
cenary motive:
The object of advertising sales OF
delinquent lands is two fold, first to
secure as favorable sale as possible
and secondly as notice TO any one
owning land on which taxes have not
been paid OF what is going on, SO he
may have chance TO redeem his real
estate. This being true, there is a
{ growing sentiment to publish the ad-
yertisements in two papers instead OF
one as the law at present requires.
The Ceredo Advance properly voices
this in the following:
The only change in the delinquent
tax law we would suggest Parkers-
burg State Journal. would be an
amendment requiring it to be pub
lished in two newspapers of opposite
politics in each county. This change
should be made by all means.

san MARINo.

Located In the very center oil
Italy. and almost unknown to. tour
ists,, San MnriTo is the smallest and
the Oldest republic in the world, and
probably the most unspoiled relic oil
medievalism in Europe. For it is a
true City state, where the people gov
ern themselves as did all OF the PEG
pie of Italy before Garibaldi united
the scattered cities into nation.
The area of San Marine is just
thirty-two square miles, and accord
ing to a census taken in 1910, it then
contained 1902 inhabitants. yet
this tiny state is very nearly per-
feet example of self-government and
independence. 1t acknowledges no
control or protectorate by superior
power. and never has, during the sew
enteen centuries of its existence.
Elections are held every six months,
and no man is twice eligible to office.
The people elect two regents, and a
council of sixty. which, in turn,
chooses council of twelve, and
these, together with the regents, ex-
ercises both the legislative and the
Judicial functions. Only the prose
cutting attorneys in civil and criminal
cases are brought from beyond the
frontier, and this is necessary because
nearly everyone in San Marine is
more or less related to everyone else,
and unprecedented advocates cannot
be found. Litigation, however. is
very rare, and the state penitentiary
was recently found to contain only
one convict, and his term was about
to expire.
San Marine was found in the third
century by Marinus, Dalmatian
stone-cutter. during the period of the
Roman persecution of the Christians

case before Roman lady of high
degree, who owned great estates.
She was so much impressed by his
simple eloquence that she presented
him with a rocky hill upon which to
found a town, and the Republic OF
San Marine was forthwith established
by Marinus and his followers. The
nature OF the gift made the town In
dependent, and the nature of the hill
kept IL so. for it was very nearly i'm
pregnable to the methods of medieval
warfare. Once, in 1903, Caesar Bor-

Some Good Advice

Here is some advice given to merchants
who think they are cutting down expenses
when they stop, advertising.
The speaker is very eminent authority.
He says.
Your advertisng-if 1t is advertising
worthy Of the name-is your best salesman
and you don't hesitate to lay 1t or indefinitely
because business was bad yesterday.
"Your advertising is bigger factor in
your business than your location-and you'll:
move It down back street or wipe your ad-
vertising location OF the city map because
you're not feeling right today
"Your advertising is the big sign over
your door and you'll take It down and store 1t
in the cellar; your advertising is your most
profitable and most economical tax for insur-
ance against loss and yet you'll lightly
'SAVE'-God save the mark!-that expense
for few days II your dinner or business con-
ditions don't exactly suit you.
Advertising is great force in business
and many great and many foolish claims are
made for 1t. but 1t Is not greater. nor more
powerful than any other factor OF your busi-
ness. It can't do the impossible. Ifeyou ex-
pect to get any good from 1t you must keep 1t
on the job make II work while you sleep"
