Garretson used to be a conductor down
in Texas and took his first lessons in
diplomacy by throwing bad" Mexicans off
his train. He rose step by step In the Or
ganized labor movement, until he was
named as a member Of industrial re-
lations commission, at the death OF which
he was again made head Of the Brother
hood of Railway Conductors. He has a
penchant for silk shirts, the Bible and
Egyptian mythology.
Then there is " S. Carter. the con-
sentative head of the firemen, who
doesn't have much to say. studies most
of the time, writes pieces for the maya
zines, and edits couple of la hor papers
on the side. He has none of the sar-
torial. splendor of his friend. Garrett
son, but his men all respect him.
Lee a Statistic1an.
Third on the list is W. G. Lee, the
portly head of the trainmen, whose
moods vary from gruffness to jollity,
depending on what he had for break
fast. He is a master of statistics re-
lating to railroad workers. and can
prove to his own satisfaction in a min
ute that a trainman is treated unfair
1y when he gets less than carpenter.
His figures are offered by the brother
hoods to belle the assertion of the rail
roads that it would cost S10o,ooo.o0O a

NO ROCK BASE FOUND.
Boring at River Front Goes to
Depth of 1O8 Feet.

There is no stone of consequence
within 1oS feet of the surface in the
river front section of Washington. This
has been practically determined by one
of the test holes bored on Water street.
in front of the site of the. proposed
government heating and lighting plant
which is to be located on the river at
14th and Water streets southwest.
When the boring reached this depth it
was stopped, it not being thought nee
essary to go deeper. Four other holes
are now in process of boring. One is
down over ninety feet. two are about
eighty feet and one about sixty feet.
These will be sent to between 100 and
10 feet to find bed rock. but if none is
found the boring will stop.
In the coming week it is understood
that operations will be started making
borings in the hole started for the
foundation of the new building. In
making the boring several heavy beds
of blue clay and gravel were found.

OAT SMUT PREVENTION

The average annual losses from
smut in oats are greater than those
caused by any other preventable cere-
al disease in the United States. Treat
ing the seed with hot water or with
formaldehyde solution before SOW
ing is an easy, cheap and efficient
way of preventing this disease. The
later method, which is the one most
available for general use, is here
briefly summarized. Both methods
are described in detail in Farmers
bulletin 507, which will be sent free
on application to the secretary of ag-
riculture.
Mix the formalin "a commercial
preparation which is thirty per cent
preparation which is 81 per cent for
maldehyde by weight) with water at
the rate of pound "a little less than
pint) to 40 gallons of water. The
grain may be either loosely incloseo
in sacks or put loose into tub OF
vat with the solution. Agitate the
sacks or stir the loose grain occasion
The Glasgow courier., 1916-03-03

given bulk before and after treat
ment and figuring the proportion of
increase. After treating do not ex-
pose the seed to freezing until it 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. If such must be used
scald them or wash them first with
formaldehyde solution.
The Glasgow courier., 1916-03-03

ally so that the entire surface of
every grain will be thoroughly wet.
Instead of being immersed the seed
oats may be spread on clean floor
or canvas and sprinkled with the So
luton and shoveled over during the
process so that they will be wet even
ly as in the other method. Not over
a gallon of solution will be needed
for every bushel of grain. After
sprinkling, shovel the seed into pile
cover it with sacks wet with the So
luton, and allow it to stand for at
least two hours before spreading it
out to dry.
The quantity which should be sown
may be determined by measuring a
