Doctor Oats Before Planting

Large acreages of oats will be
planted in Mississippi during
late December and January, as
it is estimated that less than
forty per cent of the oat crop
was planted in the fall on ac-
of the dry weather.
To protect next years crop
against smut which is one of the
, enemies of oats, doctor the oats
'@for this desease before planting.
In this way an increase yield of
eight to ten per cent can be Sc
cured on the average Mississippi
oat field.
John M. Beal, plant patholo-
gist of the Mississippi A. and M.
College Experiment Station, re-
Gently made this statement and
is suggesting that all oats to be
used for seed, unless known to
be free from smut, be treated
with a solution of formalin to
kill the smut spores before they.
are put into the ground. ~
The Importance of this treat
ment is shown by the fact that
practically the only way that oat
smut may live over from year to
year is on the grain, sand when
the seed is planted in the sprinq
the spore is planted with it.
Both germinate at the same
time, and by the time the green
sprout comes out of the ground
the smut has strangle hold on
il. This affection does not show
uRtif the plant begins to head,
when the entire head is spoiled,
becoming a source of infectio
for next years crop. 1t is a |
good plan to avoid planting oats
on a field which was infected
with smut last season, as there
lis some chance of the spores liv-
ing over the summer in the soil. |
To apply the formalin treat
'ment, spread the grain on a
eclean floor to a depth of not
Fmore than six inches. Dilute
sone ounce of formalin, (40 per
'cent solution) such as may be
Sbought at any drug store, in
three gallons of water, or one
pound in forty gollons, and dam
lpen the oats with it, using about
lone gallon of the solution to each
Fsushel of grain. Use a shovel
= mix thoroughly, and then
heap into pile and cover with
lsacks or canvas over night. The
treated grain may be planted at
bnce by gauging the drill to allow
s the swelling of kernels, or it
lay be allowed to dry before
anting. Do not put it back
lto the same sacks that it was
eaken fro, J, unless they have
been treated. The drill should
be washed with the formalin So
tltion if it has been used already
For planting infected grain. The
fntire cost of this treatment will
not exceed two cents a bushel of
krain, and will bring a profit of
from three to five dollars an acre. :

Won bETHmANN- H0Ll VEG BEGINS
TO ASSUME MORE TANGIBLE FORM
His Attempt Reach Agreement with England and His First At
tude Toward Belgian Neutrality and His Policy in Submarine
Matters Are Chief Points of Attack

Eduard Giese. This determination vio-
lates the general agreement between the
political parties that all vacant seats
shall be resigned without contest to
the party holding them at the outset of
the war.
Meanwhile the chancellor and the
Reichstag leaders continue to discuss the
point at issue behLad closed doors. The
discussion is being conducted on an even
more confidential basis than before. 1t
is being no longer held before the full
committee on ways and means, so which
all members of the Reichstag are admit
ted as auditors, but in small select COM
mittee of party leaders who are specially
bound to secrecy. Such reports as leak
out say that while the antagonism be-
tween the chancellor and his opponents
has not disappeared, the discussion is now
being conducted on the basis of reason
and not of passion. 1t is believed that
there is a good prospect that an agree
nent will be reached which will avoid
the open discussion of issues before the
Reichstag. The friends of the chancellor
appear to he fully satisfied with the stu
alton and declare that he has it we'll in
hand.

York County

CITY of Saco VS. Herbert r. Jordan.
Rescript. King, j.
This case comes up on report. 1t is
an action to recover the penalty pro-
yided for in a health ordinance of the
city of Saco.
The writ is dated Dec. 4. 1914. Among
other essential allegations IN the dec-
Iaration it is alleged. that from the
first day of October. 1914, to the date
of the writ the waste paper. Stops ana
human excreta upon and incident 10
the use of the defendants premises,
situated contiguous to. and not con-
nected with an adequate public sewer
maintained by the plaintiff, was offen-
siya to sight and smell and dangerous
to life and health, that 1t was so ad-
Judged by the board of health of Saco,
and that on Oct. IS, 1914, a notice IN
writing from said board of health was
served upon the defendant notifying
him that it had so adjudged and or
deriDg him to connect said premises
with said sewer within 80 days there
after. and that he failed and neglected
to do so and had not done so up to
the date of the writ, period of two
weeks after the expiration of said SO
days.
Held:
l, To maintain an action for the
forfeiture provided for in a penal ordl-
nance full and definite proof is re-
ouired of all facts and proceedings
necessary to show a case within it's
terms.
Q 1t was an essential part Of the plain
tiffs case to establish by competent
proof the fact that there was In October
1914 a board of health of Saco composed
of three members. each duly and legally
appointed and qualified as such member.
upon whose acts and proceedings, had
under the provisions Of the ordinance, the
action is based.
g. II it be assumed that the evidence
which the plaintiff offered to establish the
fact that there was a board of health of
Saco in October 1914 was competent for
that purpose, still it only shows the ap-
pointment of two members of such board.
There Is a total lack of proof OF any
appointment of a third member Of the
board for 1914.
T. II only two members of a board Of
health are appointed. they cannot legally
do acts authorized to be done by ma
jority Of the board. since in such case
no official board Of health exists of which
they would be majority.
Judgment for defendant.
Received Oct. 8. 1916
