Prof. L. G. Atherton, of the agricul

school, has issued few suggestions to
farmers relative to scab in small grain

scab will be prevalent again, unless
means are used to prevent it. The
treatment suggested is as follows: /.
Treat all infected grain used for seed
with formaldehyde, as for smut. One
pint of formaldehyde to 80 gallons Of
water is an effective seed spray. Wet
