One pound to forty gallons of water is the same as one ounce to two and one-half gallons. Use this strength with the sprinkling method.
 Formalin Treatment of Grain.
 Spread the grain in q layer three to four inches thick on a clean floor or canvas. With watering pot, sprinkle the grain thoroughly with the mixture of formalin and water When the grain is pretty wet all over. shovel it back and forth two or three times tn get some of the mixture on every grain Add more of the mixture and shovef over until the grain is quite wet but not wet enough to pack in the hand Then shovel into pile and cover with empty sacks. Let stand for six to f2 hours Spread out the grain and dry quickly and thoroughly. otherwise the grain may germinate which will in- jure it. Drying may be hastened by adding air slaeked lime. It will take about one gallon of mixture for each bushel of grain. If the grain is sowed before thoroughly dried, allow about one peck to the bushel extra for the swelled condition of the grain. Do not use more or less formalin than is rec commended Do not put treated grain into old, smutty sacks. bins or any place or receptacle not having been treated with formalin.
