comparatively simply. close attention
must be given to the direction and de-
tails followed absolutely. Your care
lessness may mean ruin Of the po-
tAtoes or danger to children or stock.
Simply Be Careful.
According 70 your conditions and
equipment the seed potatoes may be
treated n crates, loose IN barrels or
in sacks. Treatment must be done be-
fore the potatoes are cut or sprouted.
The commonest method Is to mix
one pint OF formaldehyde (be sure Il
y full strength) with thirty gallons
of water. Soak the seed stock In this
solution for two hours, just before you
are ready to start cutting. This solu.
tion may be reused two or three
times, IL no time is lost between
patches. One Of the easiest ways is to
place the solution in barrel and
place sackful Of potatoes In 1t at a
time.
Corrosive sublimate is an excellent.

sdren or stock will not get it. All yes.
4sels used with this material should be
carefully cleaned afterwards. II you
prefer this. use four ounces Of cor.
rssiys aublimate to thirty gallons Of
water. and soak the potatoes for an
hour and a hall. Tho powdered -chemi-
cal should ffst be dissolved In hot
water and then added to the main
solution. Do not use metal vessels. AT
ter treating. the potatoes should be
promptly washed In clean water until
all traces Of the solution are gone, and
they they should be carefully dried.
the sooner the better.
1t only takes little time and very
little money to treat all your seed po-
tatoes by either method, and 1t pays
big in larger yields of better potatoes,
free from disease.

A farmer said the other day
!" Everyone is talking raise more food
for the United States and the people
over there. How is the farmer going
to do it?''
S Help is scarce and the price is
high. Some men look at it this
way-every crop has its slack periods
periods in it's growth when it does
not need work. between hay and har-
vest so to'speak. Can not every one
Of us fit in crop this spring in our
business that will take this time and
cash in on it-time that our principal
crops are not going to require? Few
acres Of beans planted after the corn
is in and before the alfalfa is ready
to cut may be harvested before the
corn needs picking. An acre or two
Of potatoes thrown in may be taken
care Of in the waste hours.
Winter dairying, hauling out man
ure in the winter, and putting corn in
the silo helps to distribute the corn
work and gives a good chance for
sowing winter grain to avoid the
spring rush Of work. Fit corn in with
small grain growing etc. One Douglas
county farmer says to look out for
Corn and alfalfa; that their care
Comes at about the same time. They
compete for time labor.

The success of this war depends to
great degree upon the American
farmer. If a victory is won soon, it
will be due largely to agricultural pro-
duction. So important is larger
food supply it should be conceded at
once that it is no less imperative to
enlist for farm work than for mill
tairy duty. The man who is detailed
to help feed an army is just as i'm
portant as the one who guards a
bridge or defends the nations border.
Because of these facts our young
men who wish to enter the service of
the government should be permitted
to enlist for food production the same
as for the usual active military duty.
The manhood Of South Dakota and
all the great agricultural sections of
our country is just as patriotic as
that of New England, or other parts
OF the nation where farming is not
the chief industry Of the people. 1t
was the opinion of the men at the st.
Louis agricultural conference that the
government should arrange at once to
enlist men for farm products work.
Also that those who are rejected for
regular military duty might enlist for
farm work. These would include
three classes:
l. Men who are little too old.
2. Men who are little too young
3. Men who are slightly defective
physically.
The country's needs are 30 variable
that no matter what ones ideas may
be concerning the war, every man
may now with patriotic zeal prove
his loyalty by the production of food,
the assembling of clothing. the caring
for sick, the work Of the Red Cross
in this, the worlds last great strug-
gle between democracy and autocracy.

A great many of our farmers will
not plant their full acreage this year
on account of supposed shortage Of
seeds. We are Informed by the whole

various experiment stations in the
states, that there is still a moderate
supply Of pedigreed barley and certain
kinds of corn on hand for quick ship

Potato is going to be the hardest

PREVENTING RUST AND SHUTS

tho eradication of smuts. Ordinary
smut can be handled with the for-
maldehyde treatment the same as
oats, but the loose smut is hard 70
eradicate unless the modified hot wa
ter treatment is used. This Is q deli
cate proposition and should be done
carefully. Place the barley "a gunny

from seven to twelve hours. Remove
and drain for one hour, then sub
merge for 1--WE minutes Id 4 barrel of

before putting "a the barley because

ter should be kept near at hama
which can be added at intervals whioh
will keep the Temperature nearly
constant, but should never be allowed
to come into direct contact with the
grain as It's vitality will be injured Or
destroyed. Be careful that your ther-
nlometer is correct You ought to get
yours tested at the creamery or the
cheese factory.
After this treatment the grain
should be spread upon the barn floor

sown the same day or not later than
the day after treatment, for II you
