SHUTS CAUSE GREAT LOSSES

The SHUTS Of wheat, barley and oats
every year cost the farmers of Mime
sofa from 100000 to $4,00O,OOO.
The smuts which do most of the
. damage are sinking smut of wheat,
covered smut of barley, oat. smut,
loose smut Of wheat, and loose smut Of
barley. To aid in distinguishing be-
tween the two SHUTS Of wheat and the
two of barley, pictures in Minnesota
Station Bulletin 1872 should be studied
The bulletin may be had by addressing
the Office Of Publications, University
Farm, st. Paul.
The great loss may be prevented in
large part by the use of the ordinary
formaldehyde treatment. This at least
will prevent sinking smut of wheat,
covered smut of barley, and oat smut.
1t costs only about two cents an acre
to apply.
The farmer who has not a smut ma
chine should either dip or sprinkle his
wheat, barley and oat seed. The seed
should be famed before treating, to
blow out all smut balls. If the fan
ming is not altogether effective. the
seed should be put into water and STIR
red so as to allow the smut balls to
and burned. Everything with which
treated grain is likely to come in con-
tact, should be washed with solu-
ton Of formaldehyde. Sacks in which
the treated grain is to be placed should
be soaked for about half an hour in
the solution. The solution for treat
ing the grain contains one pound for
aldehyde-standard strengthened 40
or IS gallons of water.
The outside Of every kernel should
be wet with this solution. This end
may be attained by dipping the grain
in previously cleaned sacks or in fine
meshed wire baskets several times d.
rectly into the solution, allowing it to
drain between clippings. Sprinkling also
gives good results. To sprinkle, the
floor or othes place On which the grain
is to be spread, should be. swabbed
with the formaldehyde solution. The
floor having be cleaned, the. grain is
spread on layer a few inches thick:
Then, while one person sprinkles the
grain with the formaldehyde, another
rakes or shovels it over. II |:
After treatment by either method;
the grain should be shoveled into,a
pile and covered with disinfected
sacking for three or four hours, or
even over night. Greatest care should
be exercised, however, to keep it from
contact with any smut infested sub
stance. ~
Treatment for the loose smuts is not
so simple. This is described in Min
nesota Bulletin No. 122, already re-
ferred to.

SHIELDS BnL-WATER POWER
GRAB

Dante Barton in Duluth Labor
World: An enormous grab at the
public wealth has recently been made
by big corporations with the help Of
the United States Senate.
The Shields Water Power Bill.
which has passed the senate and is
now in the house of representatives
OF congress, is the worst attempt to
get the natural resources o. the peo-
pie into private hands that has been
pulled off in years.
Unless the people back home beat
this ubiquitous grab in the house of
representatives the biggest remaining
source Of public wealth will pass into
the hands of private privilege, WITH
out COMPENSATION AND FOREV.
Err.
The bill will give away all the wa
ter power Of all the navi gable rivers
Of the United States.
The natural wealth thus to be last
to the people if this Shields bill goes
through the house would pay the cost
of any sort Of preparedness. It
would pay the cost Of such rightful
preparedness for peace,' as would
safeguard the health of workers, at
least lessen the evils of unemploy-
ment, and give the great body of the
people a real stake in their govern
ment.
People Should Make Fight
"Vigorous and unrelenting prose-
cution to regain all land, water power
and mineral rights secured from the
government by fraud" was recon-
mended by the main, or Manly, re-
port of the Commission on Industrial
Relations.
The enormous incomes and inheri-
tances that imperil our republic and
the enormous power over others. that
60 with these fortunes,' said Frank
P. Walsh, in recent statement issued
by this committee on Industrial Re-
lations, care based on the unnatural
possession by comparative few of
our mines and our highways of COM
merce and Of most Of our richest
farming lands.''
Is this grabbing game to go on for
evere Why does congress stand for
it and take a hand in it?
The people, the workers, can stop
this grab if they will act quickly ana
protest to their congressman. What
is left of the peoples earth here in
America: and what can be taken back
from privilege grabbers, should be
controlled and developed by the peo-
pie for the people.

ALASKA AND WICKERSHAM

Alaska appears 70 have the usual factionalism in Is politics this cam paigu year. As to the merits of the rivalry and the excuse, if any, for a rcw over patronage the Post Iulelligencer does not know or cara t does know, however, that Alaska Is mighty well represented In congress by Delegate James Wickersham and that, in this per iCd of development and construc- tiOn, his services are needed at WashipStcn more than ever before. To lose his service at this junctuTe would be a serious mistake. The territory cannot afford it. He is an encyclopedia Of Alaskan infor nation. He knows the northland and its needs from 4. to C. Few other Alaskans are so well inform cd and they lack the knowledge of congress and the departments whic A4S LNlE SG4 LAS SAS5 ASAC3~tG %-N-'S given him. He was working for government railroad while others were dreaming and hoping, and to his persistent, tenacious and in telligen. effort, mole than to any other one agency or medium, is due the ccnsummation of the splendid project All workers for Alaska freel~ pay tribute to his magnifi- cent service. Much more is yet to bs dcDe for ths territory, and any thought of relieving Judge wickersham is manifestly lacking In wisdom.
 Alaska needs him and will con tinue to need him, and all factions, in view of what he has done and is able to do, should unite and with one voice return him to congress It s the thing to do and it ought to be done. Alaska should see it and do it.-P.I.
