Can Yeu Solve II.

Unless some eminent authority
come to the rescue very soon. we
fear for the peace Of mind Of sey
eral prominent retired farmers
of this section who are daily con-
tending over the solution of the
following problem: A square field
of wheat containing 16O acres is
to be cut two men, each using
an S-foot cut binder. The order
of working is, each is to cut
around the four sides until all
is cut-one following the other
around the field, and retaining
their respective positions until
the job is finished. Does ope cut
more than the other? If so, how
much? If a harvesting contract
hinge on the solution, better be-
gin now to solve the problem.

Oats Smut.

Under the direction Of State
College. a vigorous campaign
against Oats Smut and Potato
Scab is being waaed this spring
in districts where those diseases
are troublesome. 1t is earnestly
desired that all farmers join the
effort to stamp out smut and
scab. By thoroughly wetting
seed potatoes with a solution of
one pint of formalin mixed with
80 gallons of water Before plant
ing, scab may be controlled. For
oats, use a pint Of formalin to 40
gallons of water. This quantity
will disinfect forty or fifty BUSH
els of oats. About March the 1st
the NEWS will publish full direc-
tions for the treatment of seed
oats and seed potatoes. The
News has been requested to in
form its readers that the Depart
ment of Extension, State College
Pa, will furnish formalin at the
rate of 30 cents pint delivered,
if orders are received very soon.
You are requested to call your
neighbors, attention to this offer
and thereby help greatly to rid
your community of smut and
scab. Arrange for your forma-
lin at once, as the Department
wishes to know the full quantity
that may be called for before
placing its order with the manu.
facturer. ~,
We have asked local druggists
if they keep forfnalin, and the
price. They say reasonable guam
titles are kept on sale, and that
the price is 30 cents a pint.
Whether you order from your
druggist, or, from State College,
arrange for it in good time for
seeding.
