Crop Improvement
Farming is a business and far
mers should be business men.
TREATMENT FOR DAT SMUT.
seven to Ten Per Cent. Lost in Pro-
ductIon by Not Treating for
Smut.
(Ry L. II. Rouey.)

National Crop Improvement Service.l
1t will cost about eight to ten cents
per acre for treating oats with formal
dehyde for smut. BY a large number
Of tests it has been found that on a
conservative basis there is a loss from
seven to ten per cent. due alone to
smut; or in other words, the farmer
loses annually from three to five
bushels Of oats per acre to smut which
could have been eliminated for not to
exceed ten cents per acre by treating
the seed with formaldehyde. One
pound of f~ormaldehyde Gao per cent?
mixed with 40 gallons Of water will
treat 40 bushels Of oats. The oats
should be spread out about four or five
inches deep; a sprinkler is a very
convenient method Of applying the So
luton. While the solution is being
added 1t is well that the oats be
stirred "a rake. can be used for this
%purpose), in order that the solution
may become equally distributed. The
oats should then be shoveled into a
pile and covered with blankets by
gunny sacks, something to prevent the
formaldehyde from eyaporating too
readily. This treatment may be done
ir-the evening, and the oats left cover
ed during the night. The following
morning they might be uncovered and
spread out. BY stirring them occasion.
ally it will be found that they will
soon dry out and may be sown the
same day.
Simplest and Best.
II more oats are treated than are
needed for seed, they may be fed aft
er they have been exposed to the air
for "a to 48 hours, during which time
the formaldehyde will have evapo-
rated. The f~ormaldehyde treatment is
the simplest and most effective treat
ment for smut in oats. In purchasing
the formaldehyde. great care must
be taken that 1t. is Of the proper
strength as above stated. Should 1t
be weak. the treatment will be OF no
avail.

CAMP IN FAVOR
OF FIELD JUDGE
Yale Authority Says Pres
ent Rules Need Little
Changing

New Haven, Conn, January 19.-Dis-
cussing the approaching meeting of the
football rules committee next month,
Walter Camp, the Yale football authority
tonight said he was in favor of the re-
introduction of a field judge as an offi-
cial.
The game itself has reached such a
high state of perfection, he said, that
there is little room for improvement in
the rules.
"All players and coaches look forward
with more or less anxiety to this meet
ing, for upon its action depends the kind
of game they will be obliged to learn for
the coming fall. For two years now the
rules have remained so stationary that
they have had a fair test in actual play
and the game resulting apparently has
been satisfactory
Mr.. Camp favors the field judge be-
cause the plays made possible under the
forward pass and quick kicks are begin
ming to take on such a complicated va
riety that two officials no longer can be
expected to cover every point
