SMUr IN WAEEf EXPENSIVE
Agricultural College Offers Some
Timely Suggestions as to Proper
Method of Handling.

Smut damage IN wheat costs the
farmers Of Missouri many hundred
thousands Of dollars annually. This
loss a be prevented by a simple
treatment Of the seed with a solution
Of formalin and water.
The department of farm crops OF
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture offers the following sug-
gestions for treating the seed; The so.
luton is made by adding l pound of
tormalin to 40 gallons of water. This
will be enough to treat 30 or 40 bush.
els of seed. Formalin is cheap and
easy to secure. 1t can be bought for
about SO cents a pound at almost any
drug Store.
The first step in making the treat
ment Is to run the seed through a
tanning mill to blow out as much Of
the smut as possible. The solution is
then applied in one of two ways. One
way is to sprinkle the solution on the
seed. The other way is to dip the
seed into the solution.
To sprinkle the solution on the seed,
spread the seed on a clean floor or
tarpaulin and use about / gallon OF the
solution for each bushel OF seed. The
grain should be stirred and s~prinkled
until every kernel is wet. Then cover
the grain and allow it to lie for / to S
hours. At the end of this time I'M
cover the grain and stir 1t occasionally
until 1t is dry. 1t is then ready for
seeding.
To dip the seed in the solution, put
the solution in barrels and the seed
into sacks, filling the sacks about half
full. immense the sacks of seed in
the solution for about 10 minutes,
then hang them up to drain and dry.
Shake the sacks occasionally to has.
ten drying.
Insofar as results are concerned 1t
makes no difference whether the seed
are dipped or sprinkled. The main
point is to get them thoroughly wet.
Be sure to make the solution the
right strength pound of formalin to
40 gallons Of water. II too weak, the
solution will not kill the smut. II toe
strong, 1t will injure the grain.

URGE SUGAR CONSERVATION

Washington, Sept. 4.-Reduced con-
sumption Of sugar was asked Of the
American people today by the food ad-
ministration to avert a threatened
shortage in allied countries. Lack of
ships to move the Cuban and Ha-
waiian crops promptly, it is declared,
makes it necessary that this country
share its sugar supply with Europe.
1.-THE conservation asked of the
American people, the administrations
statement says, does not necessarily
demand great sacrifices, 1t only needs
the elimination OF waste and the care
full use Of sugar to enable America to
make up the difference required by
the needs Of the Allies.
