SMUT KILLED ON SEED
OATS BY SIMPLE METHOD
Losses of Three to Fifteen Bushels
Per Acre Prevented When Forms-
lin Treatment is Applied.

tBy ]. c. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Losses OF three to fifteen bushels
Of oats per acre were sustained last
year by farmers who did not kill the
smut on the seed grain before it was
put into the soil. The expense Of
treating seed oats is low, Doubtless,
the most convenient method of killing
smut in oats is to treat the seed with
formalin. Formalin is a 40 per cent
solution of formaldehyde, and is a
deadly poison to the smut. A pint
is practically a pound, and when
mixed with 40 to As gallons of water
is enough to treat 30 bushels of grain.
When smaller amounts are needed
two tablespoons Of formalin with
three gallons of water gives about the
same strength of solution.
There are two ways of applying for.

It is believed by diplomats and 9th

counter-proposition of the Washington
government and enlarge the powers
of the proposed commission if he has
his own way.
President Wilson is understood to
have at least score of men under
consideration for appointment as COM
missioners. Among them are Chief
Justice White, Maj. Gen. Goethals,
former governor of the canal zone;
Frederick Lehman, former solicitor
general, and Louis D. Brandeis, asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme Court. 1t

President had not attempted as yet to

What the War Is Costing.
The war is now costing in direct
governmental expenditure $110,O00,-
900 day; $580,000 an hour; $4,000
a minute and 81 ,270 a second.

The end of the second year of the
great war finds the Germans in possess
sion of more of Europe than they held
on August i, 1915, the first anniversary
of the start of the great conflict.
This is practically the only respect
In which the situation is more favor
able to them. Russia, her vast man
power at last organized and furnished
with implements of destruction in
plenty, is battering the Teuton lines
on the east and has already won back
$500 square miles. Great Britain
boasts five million men in her army
and navy. France fights as strongly as
ever. Italy is increasing her formi-
dableness.
Austria appears to be losing heart
and efficiency. Bulgaria refuses to
send re-enforcements to the west or
Russian fronts. Turkey shows slight
offensive power.
The British navy, following the
much-disputed naval battle of Jutland,
still shuts off Germany from use of
the seas. One German merchant SUBJ
marine has reached America, but the
supplies which can be carried over
to the besieged nationssin U-boats will
be of little account.
Germany and Austria both feel the
pinch of hunger. Their armies are
sufficiently fed, but their Industrial
workers complain of lack Of nourish-
ment. The present harvest is watched
with anxiety, and if it fails or is only
of fair size, famine will stalk into the
situation next spring, or earlier.

Washington, July 29.-The United
States government accepted in full
the Carranza proposal for the appoint
ment of joint commission to consid-
er the causes of difference between
the two republics and make recon-
mendations on which the governments
in turn shall act The note Arredon-
do is requested to deliver to Secretary
Aguilar and which went forward by
telegraph, follows:
"Mr. Secretary: 1 have the honor
to acknowledge. receipt of your excel
lency's note transmitted under date OF
July IL by Eliseo Arredondo, your gov
ernment's confidential agent in Wash
ington, informing me that your excel
lency has received instructions from
the Citizen First Chief of the Consti-
tutionalist army charged with the ex-
ecutive power of the union to propose
that each of our governments name
three commissioners, who shall hold
conferences at some place to be mu-
tually agreed upon, and decide forth
with the question relating to the evac-
uation of the American forces now in
Mexico and to draw up and conclude
protocol Or agreement regarding the
reciprocal crossing of the frontier by
the forces of both countries; also to
determine the origin of the incursions
to date in order to fix the RESPONSE
bility therefor and definitely to set
tie the difficulties now pending or
those which may arise between the
two countries on account Of the same
or similar reason; all of which shall
be subject to- the approval of both
governments.
"In reply, I have the honor to state
that have laid your excellency's note
before the President, and have re-
ceived his instructions to inform your
excellency that the government of the
United States is disposed to accept
the proposal of the Mexican govern
ment in the same spirit of frank cor
diality in which it is made.
"This government believes and sug-
gests, however, that the powers Of the
proposed commission should be en-
larged, so that, if happily solution
satisfactory to both governments OF
the questions set forth in your excel
lency's communication may be
reached, the commission may also
consider such other matters the
friendly arrangement of which would
tend to improve the relations of the
two countries; it being understood
that such recommendations as the
commission may make shall not be
binding upon the respective govern
ments until formally accepted by
them.
"Should this proposal be accepted
by your excellency's government,
have the honor to state that this gov
ernment will proceed Immediately to
appoint it's commissioners and fix.
after consultation with your excel
lency's government, the time and
place, and other details of the pro.
posed conference.
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the assur-
ances of my highest consideration.
