SMALLGRA|N SHUTS.
DECREASE ]! YIELDS
SIMPLE SEED TREATMENT WILL
ELIMINATE LOSS.
USE THE VERY BEST OF SEED
Production Of Small-Gra;n Crops Can
Be Increased by Proper ..-.e,
Method.

Small grain smuts may be Destroy
ed very easily by seed treatment, says
the botany and plant pathology divi.
sion Of Clemson College. There was.
a loss OF to 10 per cent Of our small
grain crops in South. Carolina last
year due to smuts. In view Of the
fact that grains are Of very great i'm
portance at this time, and in most
cases seed from last years crop is to
be used. it is urged that the seed be
treated before planting. Enough
seed to sow all acre can be treated for
five cents, yet it may save the farmer
as high as $40 for every acre of grain
planted.
Rye is not subject so to smuts, but
to prevent smuts Of oats, barley and
wheat use only the very best seed
obtainable, and before treating be
sure to have. II possible, the seed pass
ed through tanning mill to remove
light imperfect kernels and any smut
balls that may not have been removed
at the time Of thrashing.
For chemical treatment Of seed the
following methods have been founl
to be most effective:
Q Take an old molasses or oil
barrelt clean we'll and fill about two.
thirds full with formalin solution
one pint Of formadehyde to forty gal
Ions Of water. Place about a bushel
of seed in a bag g\and tie near the top

ment within the bath. Allow each
bag to soak in the solution for about
ten or fifteen minutes. After treat
Ing from fifteen to twenty bushels
new bath should be prepared. AS
fast as the sacks Of seed are treated
and allowed to drip they should be
emptied into pile and allowed to re.
main over night. The seed should
then be planted at once Or dried to
prevent damage. ..
(2) Place the seed In a pile on the
floor or In one end Of a wagon body.
and as you gradually shovel from one
pile to a new one the seed should be
sprnkled with the formalin solution.
The shoveling and sprinkling Of the
seed should be repeated until the seed
are thoroughly damp. Then place
damp bags over the piles and allow to
remain over night.
The former treatment is preferable
and gives better results as the seed
are more likely to be thoroughly wet
The above methods may be varied by
the use Of bluestone Zone pound OF
bluestone to four or five gallons OF

bluestone Is likely. however, to prove
more Injurious to termination, espe-
cially oat seed. Materials for making

such as silage and roots are essential
to the heavy-milking COWS since about
Iseven-eighths OF milk Is water.
Probably the most important factor
IN the choice Of a feed is that 1t must
be cheap, not necessarily in the sense
Of being made up Of low-grade or low
cost feeds, but from the standpoint of
furnishing the largest possible amount
OF digestible, nutrients at tho least
cost. Homegrown feeds ordinarily
cost less than commercial feeds, and
the successful dairymen are those
who raise most Of the feeds for their
herds. No dairyman in South Caro-.
lima has yet made success when he
buys his roughage. A wide variety
Of feeds may be grown, permitting the
dairyman to produce q well-balanced
ration at low cost. Tie following
unit" of feed Is suggested for each
COW: -.r
Forage:
1 ton legume hay (peavine, vetch, or
c1over)
4 tons roots or silage. .'....
I ton sorghum (for summer feed).
Il acre In velvet beans and corn.
R acre In winter pasture (rye after
cowpeas).
1 acre in permanent pasture.
Concentrates:
700 pounds velvet beans ground with
pod. ..
700 pounds corn and cob meal.
400 pounds cottonseed meal.
The velvet bean sand corn would be
harvested from the half.acre. BY
trading cotton seed" for cottonseed
meal all ,sthe kaboYe rations may be
producedS bn the farm, and are suffI-
cient to Feed one Heavy producing COW

A cow giving two gallons Of milk
a day should receive 800 pounds Of
roots or silage, 10 pounds Of hay, and
s pounds Of one Of the following
grain mixtures:
100 pounds cottonseed meal.
100 pounds wheat bran.
$50 pounds velyet-bean meal;

WINTER FEEDING OF DAIRY cow
Principles For Economical Production Essential Raise
Your Own Roughage.
Page Nine

Dairy farmers are facing most Sc
rious situation this winter, says the
dairy division Of Clemson College.
with grain feeds selling around $50
ton and good hay bringing $50, the
question Of what and how to feed the
dairy COW should demand serious con-
slderation.
There will be about 10000 more in
habitants than usual in South Caro-
lima this winter, due to the location Of
the army training camps. These peo-
pie will want dairy products. Prices
are already advancing due to this de-
mand. Farmers may feed cows,
knowing that they will have a mar
'ket for their milk and cream at
good price. But it will be necessary
for the successful dairyman to know
the principles of feeding for econom.
|, ical production.
~ Milk is composed Of water and SOL
Ids derived directly from the feed
eaten by the COW. Therefore, it Is tho
duty Of the feeder to know what feeds
O hsproduce the most milk and to see that
NE. the COW obtains obtains these feeds in the
N proper Ration for Dairy Cow.
The dairy cows ration should meet
the following requirements: It must
!. be abundant. nutritious, palatable
Dsucculent, and cheap. All the above
requirements may be met by feeds
produced entirely In this state. A

Joe Hetmanek, manager OF Joe

advised him the neutritis, which has
been giving HIM so much trouble ever
since Thanksgiving day, is about to
leave him and that before the end of
the month he will be i'll as good shape
as ever.
Stecher says in his letter that he is
no longer troubled with the pain and
that the physician assures him within

so the physical exertion of wrestling
will not bring about its return.
Hetmanek says he believes this will
enable him to complete the plans for
the Stockholders match. 1t is prob
able, however, the event will be held
February 9 instead of February 3, as
first suggested. 1t will enable Stecher

age of serious proportions is
threatening the Pacific northwest.
Because of a late season, crops
are approximately six weeks be-
hind normal and the usual reserve
stocks on the farms are gone. On
account of high prices, farmers
have disposed of practically all
their crops.
Farm labor also is scarce. Re-
ports have been received from
some parts of the northwest that
women will have to go into the
fields during the coming summer.
Heavy enlistment of farmer boys
in the militia and navy has COM
plicated the situation.
Both producer and consumer
throughout the northwest states
are awakening to the seriousness of
the shortage. A mass meeting will
be held here next Friday night at
the library auditorium. Oranges,
realizing the necessity for planting
every acre OF available ground, are
urging their members to grow as
much as possible. A movement is
on foot here and in several other
northwestern cities to plant every
vacant rot and back yard with po-
tatoes, carrots and other veg
