FERTILIZER NEEDS OF CROPS

For early crops nitrogen and phos-

ANOTHER LARGE WHEAT CROP
Spelling During Wet Weather and
to Save the Straw.

Unless some unforeseen calamity
should occur, the wheat crop this year
will exceed the phenomenal crop of
last year. and will probably be more
than 700, 600, 900 bushels of winter
wheat alone. This means that the
threshing outfits, railroads, elevators.
etc., will be crowded to the utmost and
a great part of the grain will stand In
the fields for weeks. Therefore it
should be stacked.
Stacking will save grain and straw
which might otherwise be spoiled in
wet weather.
Stacking will put grain through a
complete sweat which will improve
quality.
Threshing from the stack requires
less help than shock threshins, which
will equalize the cost of stacking.
Stacking furnishes good storage,
with absolutely no cost, which would
prevent Cutting the market at any
n time.
The grain must be removed for early
working of the soil. Stacking makes il
possible to pillow following harvesting.
Early blowing is one of the greatest
factors in increasing the yield. Disk
ing the land early is the next best
thing.

SEED OATS AND SMUT
FUNGUS Disease Causes Serious
Loss to This Crop.
Trouble Is Quite Noticeable After
Plants Begin to Head-Annoyance
May Be Prevented by Use Of
Some Good Solution.

(By C.. 3. HUTCHINSON. Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Loose smut of oats Is a fungous di-
sease Of the oat plant which causes
serious losses TO this crop. This di-
sease is very noticeable after the
plants begin TO head. the flowers OF
infected plants being almost complete
dusty spores.
Dat smut may be prevented by soak
ing or %sprinkling the seed thoroughly
with some solution which will kill the
spores without injuring the seed. The
most common solution used is forma-
lin and the treatment is made as fol-
lows:
Mix one pint of commercial forma-
lin with 40 to 30 gallons of water in
barrels or other convenient vessels.
immense the oats in this solution, stir
ring we'll so that all will be thoroughly
soaked. Pour off the solution, dump
the oats out and stir occasionally until
dry. Another method employed is to
sprinkle the oats with the solution I'M
til they are we'll soaked. and then
heap them up in a pile and with
blankets or sacks. Leave them in this
pile for five. or six hours. or even over
night. and then spread out to dry. Stir
frequently until thoroughly dried, after
which they may be sacked and set
aside until seeding time. Formalin
may be obtained from any drug store.
Machines for treating oats and
wheat for smu are on the market. In
these the grain is passed through tank
containing the formalin solution and
then dumped out on the floor to dry.
Such machines are not expensive and
are very satisfactory. Formalin is
poisonous, but in this weak solution it
will injure the hands and is per-
fectly safe to handle. Since the forma-
lin volatilizes rapidly. oats thus treat
ed that are not needed for seeding
may. after thorough drying and airing,
be safely fed to stock.
