Treatment Of Seed Oats

Loose smut Of oats is o fun:

noticeable after Il Q plants being
almost completely replaced by a
mass Of fine, black, dusty spores.
Oat st,at may be prevented by
soaking Or sprinkling the seed
thoroughly with some solution
which will kill the spors without
injurine the seed. The most
commopt ,olption used is forma-
lin and she treatment il made as
follows:
Mix one pint of commercial
formalin with 40 or 80 gallons Of
water Ia barrels or other conven-
lent vessels. Immerse the oats
in this solution, stirring well so
that allwill be thoroughly soak
ed. Pour off the solution, dump
the oats out and stir occasionally
until dry. Another method en-

ployedis to sprinkle the oats with
the solution until they are well
soaked, and then heap them up
in a pills and cover with blankets
or sacks. Leave them in this
pile forsfve 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. Formalir
may be obtained from any drug

been organizing and promoting
Boys and Girls Clubs since
March 1914. Ak first it began
with only two lines Of work, which
were corn clubs for boys and to-
mato clubs for girls. During the
spring and summer ninety. six
clubs were organized with a
membership OF 1197.
With the opening Of the fall
term of school, three other lines
of work were projected; these
were stock judging clubs, sewing
clubs and poultry clubs. The
total number Of clubs organized
from March to January were 339
with q membership Of 3071.
In order to encourage the work
the State Corn Growers .Asso-
citation offered premiums to the
corn clubs and several business
firms offered premiums to the to-
mato clubs. The firms enoourag-
ing this work were Mermod Jac-
card q Co., st. Louis, the Slate
Bankers Association, The St.

State Board Of Agriculture
Notes.

1t is very generally agreed that
the conditions up to this time all
point favorably toward a mighty
fine start in the direction Of first
rate crops this year. Expert
authorities pretty generally agree
that the soil conditions as yet
favor beginnings Of bumper crop
planting. The dry seasons and
the present winter strengthen the
hope that this may be q banner
corn year, as sure as we get the
growing sort Of early season.
Missouri 10 today one of the.
greatest Of etates--and yet its
good name and fond fame limp
along behind other states with
less varied possibilities and mar
rover resources. Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Iowa, Indiana and other
states have an agricultural statis-
tical law that is worth millions to
the farming interests OF those
states annually. Missouri has
the goods-but we have no law
for gathering farm facts.
The farmers of Missouri are
entitled TO "Pure Seed and Feed"
"a reasonable and actical law
for each.
Don't we need a law protecting
the farmer in buying agricultural
seeds--a practical regulation to
stop the dumping of seeds here
that will not sell in Kansas, Iowa
and other states?
Millions of dollars have been
spent on commercial mixed feeds
in Missouri during the past two
years.
/ The farmers and stockmen de-
mand reasonable inspection or
label laws for seeds and feeds.
