NOTES
Seed Treatment for smut


There is no way in which the
farmer can increase his grain crop
for 1918 aside from the proper prep
aration of the soil. and the use OF
we'll adapted varieties. except by
preventing losses due to the smuts
by proper treatment of the seed. In
1913 this source OF loss amounted
in the aggregate in Oregon to s2,-
500, 900.
Seed treatment should be uni
yersal-this year. II is not only pro-
fitable for the farmers, but just now
is patriotic duty in connection
with the increased production and
stoppage of avoidable waste.
Formaldehyde Treatment
The formaldehyde me-, I'd is effec-
tive, inexpensive. and is the one most
commonly used now.
Formaldehyde (formalin) full

Water. 40 gallons.
A-Tank or Barrel Treatment
/. Run the grain through the
tanning mill to remove smut balls,
shrunken kernels, etc.
2. Partly fill tank or barrel with
solution and put in the grain.
For Wheat-If seed is not known
to be perfectly free from smut balls.
pour the wheat in loose. stir ii so
as to bring all the smut balls to the
surface and skim of. II the seed
is free from smut balls. 1t may be
treated in partially filled sacks.
Soak for 80 minutes. Remove, drain
and plant the same day or wash with
pure water and spread out to dry.
For Oats-Put oats in gunny sacks
and soak for 20 minutes in the So
luton. Take out, drain and plant
at once. If grain is kept for later
day, wash with pure water and dry
thoroughly.
For Barley-Barley Is more sensi-
tive to the action of formaldehyde
than wheat or oats. Use the same
method as for oats, but use one pint
of formaldehyde to As gallons Of
water and soak for 10 minutes only.
1t should then be washed with pure
water, drained, and If not seeded
shortly, should be dried thoroughly.
B-Sprinlsling Method
/. Run grain through tanning
mill.
2. Spread out on clean floor or
tarpaulin few inches thick.
8. Sprinkle with the pint to 40
gallons solution.
4. Stir until every grain is wet.
5. Then shovel into a pile and
cover with sacks or tarpaulin, pre-
viously moistened with solution.
6. Leave for two hours or more
Z. Spread out till dry enough to
run through drill and plant at once,
or, II the grain is not to be seeded
Immediately, dry thoroughly before
storing.
Note-The sprinkling method
should not be used for wheat that
has not been cleaned of smut balls,
as this method does not kill the
spores contained in the unbroken
balls and when run through the drill
the balls are broken and living
spores are then sown on the seed.
Such grain should therefore be
treated loose and the smut balls al

A NEW ERA

No one questions but that the
world is progressing. At times ii
makes faster progress than at
others. but the movement, slight or
accelerated, is forward.
What is true Of the world, is true
OF each section of It, Oregon is a
more progressive state than 10 years
ago. She has taken definite and
mighty strides forward in the last
few years. And the same is true OF
Josephine county.
In making this progress. any COM
munity needs two kinds of men. the
originators. the pushers, the men
with initiative and courage: and the
more conservative, carefully-consid-
ering. go-a-little-slow men who act
as a balance wheel for their more
irrepressible brothers. with a result
that progress is made after merits
Of step in advance have been
clearly proven. This makes for a
steadiness in progress; prevents
such hastily steps that retreats are
made necessary, and such setbacks
that discouragement follows.
The day of the blatant booster has
passed: In his place stands the real
optimist, the genuine enthusiast
Also the day of the unreasoning OBJ.
structionist has given way to his
successor, the conservative, patient
inquirer into facts; the man who
says, first be sure you're right, then
go ahead" The reasonable union OF
the efforts OF these two classes spells
real progress, s,-advancement that Il
stable and valuable.
Josephine county has been lone
while awakening to the value Of ir.
II had previously passed through the
period of the booster to its sorrow
1t has previously passed through the
era of the obstructionist and learned
its mistake. In the light Of better
understanding, the students of reaI
land values and the men who have
said SHOW me" have worked out a
plan that will mean much to this
section.
The formation of the Grants Pass
irrigation district was the first tan.
gible result. 1t was a step in the
right direction. The next move was
slow in coming, but all the more
substantial for that reason. Surveys
have been made, estimates formu.
lated and checked over by a second
Set Of engineers. The managers oil
the district and the land owners un.

owners, the first payment on the
cost of this water is deferred II
years. During that period each
grower will have more than ample
time to re-adjust his crops and take
advantage OF the increased produc-
tiveness OF his land. The increase
In products will more than finance
the cost Of the improvement. The
