Oat Smut Prevention.

Washington. ID. C., March 1.-The
average annual losses from smut IN
oats are greater than those caused
by any other prevcntablc cereal dis
ease in the United States. Treating
the seed with hot water or with form
aldchydc solution before sowing Is an
easy, cheap and effective way Of pre-
venting this disease. The latter meth
od. which is the most available FOR
general use. Is here briefly summar.
lied. Both methods are described In
detail in Farmers Bulletin 5O7. which
will be sent free on application to the

out to dry.
Precautions: The oats may be
seeded as soon as dry enough to run
through the drill. II the seed is still
moist, however, the drill must be set
10 SOW more to the acre than IL II is
dry. The quantity which should be
sown must be determined by mcasur.

treatment and figuring the proper
ton of increase. After treating do
not expose the seed to freezing until
II is thoroughly dry.
DO not allow the treated seed TO
come in contact with old sacks, bins
or machinery in which there may be
smut spores. II such must be used,
scald them or wash them first with
the formaldehyde solution.

Planting and Pruning Fruit Trees.


Fruit trees should be ordered at

spring. Careful tests at the Mis-
souri, Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion have shown that fall planting is
better, but IL the work was not done
last fall it will be better to do the
work this spring than to wait until
next fall and lose another year of
growth.
-ycar-old trees that have been
properly grown are usually prefer-
able. but the two-year-old apple, pear,
cherry. or American plum trees may

apart each way: pear. peach, or cher.
~ trees, 20 feet; and plum trees Is q

The bark will show Just how deep
the young trees were before trans
planting and they should be reset to
about the same depth in holes ju.t
deep and broad enough to admit the
roots in their natural position without
any bending. Cut any broken or dis
cased parts from the roots and be
sure that the ends are smooth cut In
stead of left ragged. Trees that can

the soil has been tramped in level
