DAT smut PREVENTION

Washingto D. C., Feb. "a he av-
serage annual losses from smut in oats
are greater than those caused by any
other preventable cereal disease IN the
United States Treating the seed with
hot water or with formaldehyde solu-
ton before sowing is al. easy, cheap,
and effective way Of preventing this
disease. The latter method, which is
the one most available for general use,
is here briefly summarized. Both
methods are described in detail in
Farmers Bulletin 5O7, which will be
sent free on application to. the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture, Washington, ID.
C. 81 &.
Mix the formalin "a commercial
preparation which is 81 per cent for
maldehyde by weight) with water at
the rate Of pound "a little less than
a pint) to 40 gallons Of water. The
grain may be either loosely inclosed in
sacks or put loose into tub or vat with
the solution. Agitate the sacks or
stir the loose grain occasionally 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 solution and SHOW
eled over during the, process so that
they will be wet evenly as in the other
method. Not over gallon of solution
will be needed for every bushel Of dry
grain. After sprinkling, shovel the
seed into a pile, cover it with sacks
wet with the solution, and allow it to
stand for at least two hours before
spreading it out to dry.
Precautions: The oats may be
seeded as soon as dry enough to run
through the drill. If the seed is still
moist, however, the drill must be set
to SOW more to the acre than if it is
dry. The quantity which should be
shown may be determined by measur-
ing given bulk before and after
treatment. 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 into 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 the
formaldehyde solution.

1900 FARMERS AT COUNTY
MEETINGS

Almost 1900 persons attended the
146 meetings held by county agents
for Minnesota farmers in the month
preceding January l, according to re-
ports received from 10 counties by
Frank E. Balmer, state leader Of eeun-
ty agent work, University Farm, ST.
Paul. The exact attendance was 1c,,-
964
Reports of county agents shew that
work in the various counties EMPLOY
ing such men is taking definite, con-
crete form. This is seen in tho Fact
that four counties within the hast few
weeks have organized, Or have p1ann'-
ed to organize, county farm bureaus,
in which men get together voluntarily
and commit themselves to some def
mite policy or policies. In the corn
ties which have organized, or are plan
ing to organize, the work for 1915 mas
been carefully outlined, covering sueh
matters as better drainage, crop i'm
provement, higher types of live stock,
farm and rural organizations, boys'
and girls club work, and county SUE
veys Of various kinds.
The interest in all this Kind OF work
is clearly shown in the large attend
ance at farmers meetings in counties
in which county agents are active,

EVEN GOOD DOGS SPREAD DIS.
EASE

That good friend Of the farmer, the
dog, will have to be looked after more
carefully, if he is not to do as much
harm as good on the farm. According
TO a bulletin issued by the United
States department of agriculture. Tow
ser has been found to be a carrier of
such diseases as rabies, hydatid, ring
worm, favus, double-bored tapeworm.
roundworm, and tongueworm. All of
these are diseases which affict human
beings. Occasionally, also, the dog
carries fees and ticks, which in turn
transmit bubonic plague and the
deadly spotted fever. ~ -
In these days Of the foot and mouth
disease, too, farmers shout see to it
that their dogs do not bring home the
fatal germs, or, if they have the dis
ease on their own farms, they should
take pains to prevent their dogs from
carrying it to their neighbors' farms.

INCUBATOR SHOULD BE REPAIR,
ED NOW

In a few days many incubators will
be in operation Whether the chicks
are to be Matched early in March or
not until the middle Of April, it is
time to look after repairs and to get
the machine in shape. Repairs for the
incubator may not be readily found.
If the incubator was neglected at
the close Of last season, it should be
thoroughly cleaned. Removable parts
should be taken out and washed and
the entire machine should be aired and
summed. A 10 per cent solution Of re-
noleum should be used as a disinfect-
ant in washing the interior Of the ma
chine. Failure to clean the burner
and rinse ont the lamp may prevent
regular heating when the incubator is
IN operation-C. E. Brown, poultry

DIVERSITY ON THE FARM PAYS

DIVERSITY ON IaE EAhM PAYS
Farm records show, and good farm
ers agree in general, that diversified
farming is most profitable. Diversified
farming means raising live stock and
various kinds of crops. Diversified
farming gives opportunity for crop
rotation, for distribution of man and
horse labor, and for the maintenance
of soil fertility. All of these are es-
sential to good farming. Crop rota-
ton aids in maintaining crop yields
and soil fertility; the distribution Of
labor reduces the cost of operation;
the maintenance Of soil fertility is the
basis of all successful agriculture.
Diversified farming is of great i'm
portance because it gives the farmer
an opportunity to carry oalt all the
best farm practices. So
Is your farming properly diversi-
