TREATING WHEAT FOR BLUNT OR
Shrinking SMJJT.

The first essential in treating wheat
for bunt or sinking smut is to fan
the grain well, thus blowing out all
light material and any smut balls
that may be present. If smut balls
still are present, put the wheat in a
barrel of water. They then come to
the surface and can be SKINNED off
The water Is then drained out Of the
BARREL and the seed resacked and made
ready for immediate treatment in the
smut-destroying solution.
The formaldehyde treatment for
shrinking smut requires soaking the
grain about 10 minutes in a solution
of / pint Of commercial Tornado
hyde to 40 gallons of water. The seed
should then be dumped in pile, pre-
ferably on canvas, and covered for
two hours. This is done to distribute
the formaldehyde gas throughout the
pile and to prevent the escape Of the
gas. The seed then should be spread
out thinly on a canvas, dried suffi-
GENTLY to SOW In the drill, and put in
sacks which have been dipped In the
formaldehyde solution. The hopper
and tubes of the drill should also be
cleansed with the solution, in order to
keep the treated seed free from smut.
1t is useless to treat seed and then SOW
it in q drill which has smut spores in
the hopper of tubes By using proven
tive measures a great deal of the loss
from smut can be avoided. This treat
ment is also effective in preventing oat
smut For further information on the
smuts of cereals, see Farmers Bulle
