GRAIN SHUTS DECREASE YIELDS
Increase Production OF Grains ry
Simple Seed Treatment With Finn
gicidcS.

Clemson College, Sept. H.
There was loss of five to ten Der
cent of our small grain crops in this
State last year due to smuts. Thcs.
smuts may be destroyed very easiIy
by seed treatment. Due to the fact
that grains are of very great i'm
pOrtance at this time, and in most
cases seed from last years cron i.
to be used. it is urged that the seed
be treated before planting.
To prevent smuts of wheat. OATS
and barley use only the very best
seed obtainable, and before treating
be sure to try to have the seed
passed through tanning mill to re.
move light imperfect kernels and apv
smut balls that may not have been
removed at the time of thrcshing.
For chemical treatment of seed
the following methods are most
effective
Q) Take an old molasses or oil
barrel, clean well, and fill about two
thirds full Of formalin solution-onc
pint of formaldyehyde to forty gal
Ions of water. Place about q busbe,
of seed in bag and tie near the
top so the seed will have free move
ment within the bath. Allow each
bag to soak in the solution for ten
or fifteen minutes. After treating
from fifteen to twenty bushels a new
solution should be prepared. AS
fast as the sacks of seed are treated
and allowed to drip, they should be
emptied from the bags in o pile, and
allowed to remain over night. The
seed should then be planted at once
or dried to prevent damage.
CD Place the seed in a pile or
a floor or in one end of a wagon
body, and as you gradually shovel
from one pile to a new one the seed
should be sprinkled with the formal
dehyde solution. The shoveling and
sprinkling Of the seed should be re-
peated until the seed are thoroughly
damp. Then place damp bags over
the piles of seed and allow to re-
main over night.
The former treatment is prefer
able and gives better results as the
seed are more likely to be thorough
ly wet. The above methods may be
varied by the use of bluestone Conc
pound of bluestone to four or five
gallons Of water) instead of formal
dehyde. The bluestone solution is
likely, however, to prove more in
furious to termination. especially oa:
seed. Materials for making the So
lutions may be purchased at any
drug store.

Charleston. Sept. 17.-That tho
government Is considering buying u
large tract Of land In tho sand hill,
of South. or North, Carolina is re.
ported here. Such a tract of land
will be used as an artillery field fol-

ton will involve several hundred

be a direct result OF such a sale, but
the whole country around will benefit
materially.

South, Carolina will be utilized as
means Of training the raw men in the

The field would be in the sand hills

to secure fifteen square miles Of land
and 1t is said that tract of these di.
mensions has been offered and in
spected in Chesterfield County. If it
meets the qualifications Of the inspec-
tors and Is bought and developed into
q target field, the men in the camps
will probably take hikes to and from

When the organ Of the baking in

considerable numbers are convinced
that a return to the old standard is
possible and desirable. The plan to
produce a scent loaf is spoken Of a

that some bakers do not know how
to figure" and it is said that unless
the Association Of Master Bakers
takes drastic action at it's forthcom.
Ing meeting, there will be "nothing
to hinder short-sightcd men from
baking scent lOaves and thereby in
