Wheat growers in this country not
InfreQueptly experience serious losses
caused by preventable diseases. Wheat
Is preyed upon by number OF para
site fungi, three Of which are classed
as smuts. Two of these smuts are
common pests in the wheathelds of
North America, the other, commonly
known as flag smut, is thus far un-
known to this continent. though it is
fairly common in Australia and certain
other parts of the world where wheat
culture has been in progress for cen
turtles, says the department of agri-
culture.
OF the two SHUTS, bunt or covered
smut Of wheat, sometimes referred to
rs sinking smut, is found wherever
wheat is grown, sometimes resulting
In losses to the farmers of the United
States of $20,000,O0O or more annually.
Not infrequently fields planted to un-
treated seed and giving promise OF
yielding 80 to 40 bushels per acre Of
good wheat, will produce a crop of
covered smut amounting, in some
cases, to as much as 40 to 60 per cent
Of the crop.
This smut disease is caused by q
parasitic fungus which attacks the
growing wheat plant before the first
leaf appears above ground: Once in
side the attacked Seeding It continues
It's growth and by the time the wheat
begins to head the diseased plants pro-
duce crop of smut. If we examine
the heads Of such plant we find in
stead of normal wheat grains only a
lot of smut balls. In other words, the
materials produced by the living plant
for the purpose Of building up sound
wheat grains have been consumed by
the parasite in forming it's masses of
smut spores which finally occupy the
exact position in the wheat heads that
would have been filled by the kernels
had they been allowed to develop.
These smut balls consist Of nothing
but millions of spores fnclosed in each
case by a thin enveloping membrane
When the smut balls are crushed the
spores give off an odor not unlike that
Of herring brine. The liberated
spores become attached to the seed.
which, If planted without previous
treatment, may produce another crop
Of smutted wheat.

Blunt or covered smut of wheat IS
one of the most easily prevented of
any of the cereal diseases. The fol-
lowing procedure is recommended:

USE OF CARBON BlSULP HIDE
Affords Rather Cheap and Simple
Treatment for Graduating Grain
Moths and WeeviIS.

By T. J. TALBERT, Missouri College OF
Agriculture.)
A stitch In time saves nine, but even
the time may not remedy the damage
one would have prevented. Usually
late threshing has left the grain in
the stack or shock exposed to the
attacks OF the grain moth and the
weevil this year. Fortunately, a rath-
er simple, cheap treatment with car
bon bisulphide will destroy all the
weevils and moths that infest stored
grains. This liquid looks very much
like water but when poured on rags
or into shallow pans on the top OF
grain, rapidly forms a gas so much
heavier than air that it goes down
among the kernels, destroying all
weevils and moths.
The temperature, size shape, and
tightness OF bins or granaries are i'm
portant factors. It is not worth
while to fumigate when the temperar
ture is below 60 degrees F. More
bisulphide is required and even then
unsatisfactory results are obtained.
One pound Of liquid for every 80
bushels OF grain Will be enough If tho
bin is tight and the temperature
above 20 degrees. Another pound
should be used for every 200 cubic
feet OF space above the grain In tho
bin.
The Liquid may be thrown directly
on the grain without injury, but bet
ter results will be secured by pour
ing it into. shallow pans, scattered
over the surface, or If these are not
available, it may be poured upon old
rags or cotton waste. One~half po,snd
or at most not more than pound.
should be poured into each pan The
liquid may be poured down through
a gas pipe in order to get It near tho
center and bottom Of very large bins-
Plug one end Of the pipe with cotton
or old; rags, push it down through tho
grain and then remove the plug by
pushing rod down through the pipe.
The granary or bins should bo
kept closed as tightly as possible for
SO hours, and il the seed is not to be
sowed, for 48 hours. The grain will
be just as good for feed after treat
ment as before, but If 1t is to be
sowed, care should be taken not to
use too much bisulphide or to fumi-
gate too long. It is often convenient
to apply the liquid Saturday afternoon
and f,,migate until the next Monday
morning.
Tho gas is very explosive and no
lighted cigars, pipes, lanterns, or
matches should be allowed in or near
the building until 1t has been thor
oughly aired. The work should always
be done in the daytime Cost may
be kept down by securing commercial

sive chemically pure liquid, often kept

COLORADO ID
 BE SPAWNED
Central Span. Assembled On Arizona Side, to be Floated Into Position in Less Than Hour, Movies to Show 1t

To float a steel span, 33e feet long, half way across the Colorado river at Yuma. and to lift it into place, as the first bond between California and Arizona-all within the space of an hour, is the task to be assumed by 1he contractors with the aid of nov ing pictures, either next Monday or next Tuesday Through the Phoenix chamber of commerce. the Yuma chamber has got in touch with Ralph Earle and R. F. Barron, Pathe Week ly men on the coast. and the bridging of the muddy Colorado will be ac- companied by real publicity stunt
 The proposition that the Yuma chamber of commerce has put up to the film folk is that the largest steel span on the Colorado bridge, cover ing a space of 336 feet, is to he sent into midstream on barges and hung in place with the aid of immense cranes. The span is already assembled on the Arizona side. The people who have the contract were unable to maintain any false work in the river bed. owing to the rapidity of the cur rent, and the recent high stages of the stream. So they had to resort to the barge idea to complete the bridge.
 The great feat will be successfully according to a state ment by the engineers in charge. Less than an hours time will be necessary for the entire proceeding, which will make it. indeed, triumph of en- gineering skill. N
 Secretary l.. W. Alexander of the Yuma chamber of commerce says:
 This bridge is the connecting link of the Borderland route-being the one wagon bridge on the Colorado river within 1900 miles It is being built by the United States govern ment, the states of California and Arizona. at cost of over S15.000
 It is constructed on natural bridge site. which places the span high enough to permit our largest river steamers to pass under, even when the river is at its highest point
