In these ways Judgment and labor
go to distribute the moisture stock OF
the soil through the season. The
methods appeal to common sense, but
men who do most Of these things and
have seen all of them done know that
the nature of many soils is such that
the result is still insufficient without
clearly seeing why. The reason IS
that all material, including soil, is In
its nature chemical, and when its ma
ture is extreme, working it and ar
ranging It is not enough. 1t must
have its chemical nature changed
that is to say, modified, OF, as 1t is

Loose Smut May Be Killed In Grain by
Use Of Hot Water.

Loose Smut May Be Killed In Grain BY
Use Of Hot Water.
Loose smut, which was common In
some Ohio wheatfields this year, may
be prevented in the next crop by hot
water treatment Of seed wheat. The
directions given by the Ohio agricul
tural experiment station for this treat.
ment are as follows:
Soak the seed wheat for four to SIX
hours at ordinary temperature. After
the sack or basket of seed has drained
plunge 1t into a tub OF water at tenn
perature slightly below 13O degrees +.
and after minute or two into another
tub at exactly this temperature. The
grain should be kept in the water for
ten minutes and stirred occasionally to
maintain uniform temperature. The
first tub is used to bring the grain up
close to the temperature Of the water
In the second tub. If lots of less than
half bushel are handled the grain
may be brought more quickly and uni
fOrmly to the required temperature.
This treatment also kills scab, stink
ing smut and anthracnOse If present
In seed wheat II loose smut is absent
these other diseases can more cOnven-
iently be prevented in the next crop by
sprinkling the grain with fOrmalin, a
pint to forty gallons Of water. Screen
ings are frequently carriers Of disease
and should be used for feed.
Loose smut-~is often overlooked be-
cause it appears at blOssoming. while
the other diseases are evident after the
grain has formed.

One-a lime treatment The amount
Of lime to use is in proportion to the
sickness of the soil and greater than
what would be needed for merely

also important, and all students and
teachers of the subject are agreed
that only burned lime answers the
purpose. Practical experience has
shown that the chemically hydrated
form is most effective.
The Effect Of Lime in Different Soils.
To the practical man it may look
contradictory that the same chemical

But it will not seem strange If you
remember that that is what lime does
IN making mortar. This reflection will
also lead you to see again that here
again burned lime is the better form,
although pulverized limestone is of
ten recommended. In a sandy soil
the lime dressing should be hardly
as great as might be necessary to
sweeten it thoroughly. It's advantage

the bill was badly drawn, and later
