MAKE SMUT
TREATMENT THoRo

Smut on wheat collects an an
nual toll, due to grain destroyed,
amounting all the way from one up
to as much as four million dollars
per year. Smut treatment to re-
duce this loss has been widely ad.
vocated, The question has often
been raised, why is it that, even
when seed is treated to prevent
smut, smut sometimes appearsY
There may be several reasons for
the appearance of smut where the
seed was treated.
The seed treatment will only kill
the smut pores ON the outside of
the seed treated. Where the treat
ment has been done by the for
maldehyde method, the seed may
become reinfected with smut pores
by using grain drill which has
not been treated with the disinfect-
ing solution, or by the use Of wag-
on boxes which have been untreat-
ed. Thus it is possible to etfec-
lively treat seed and later reinfect
it from some of the sources just
mentioned. Where such careless
ness has been allowed, some smut
will nearly always appear in the
crop.
The other source Of infection
comes directly from the soil itself,
from smut pores existing in the
soil.
The formaldehyde method Of
smut treatment is thoroly effective
IL properly done with formaldehyde
OF proper purity and strength, but
the formaldehyde treatment does
not prevent reinfection of the seed
after treatment. Where bluestone
is used, there is some later proteo-
ton, as the copper sulphate adher-
es to the outside Of the wheat ker-
mel, atfording a considerable mea-
sure OF protection against later in
fection from untreated wagon box
es, untreated drills or untreated
grain bags, or even from infection
in the soil itself Alvin Kezer,

TRAVELS FAR TO HIS DEATH
German Deserter ls Shot Down by
landsturmer After Making
Hazardous Trip.

Berlln.-After desperate fight
from the battle front, Adolph Rug
mann, nineteen-year-old soldier, who
was sent to the trenches few months
ago, has been killed near, Neustadt,
Holstein, by the bullet of land
sturmer.
The young man, who had been an
inmate of a reformatory before he was
drafted for the army, tried to desert
two days after his arrival at the front
In France, but was quickly recaptured
and sent to outer trenches as a pun
ishment.
After spending three weeks under
the fire of the French guns he de-
serted again. Armed with two army
reyolyers, he sneaked away from the
front and tried to reach Holland
through Belgium. When he found this
impossible he attempted to get to Dem
mark.
Walking at night and begging his
food at isolated farm houses, the de-
serter got to Holsteln, but in Neu-
stadt he was caught. On the way to
Eutin, where he was to be locked up,
he jumped from the train and made
for nearby forest. The two land
sturmers who were guarding him fred
at him from the swiftly moving train
and killed him.

EAT WILD MUSTANGS FLESH
Jackass, Mule, Donkey, Burro ane
Horse Meat May Now Be Sold
In Portland.

Portland, Ore.-Jackass, mule, don
key, burro and horse meat may now
be sold In Portland meat markets. The
city council has adopted an ordinance
providing for the inspection Of these
meats and for the regulation of thel
sale.
The meat must be plainly labeled

must be inspected by the regular meat
inspectors of the city.
AS adopted the ordinance says Dob
bin and Billy and Maud, before being

thorough inspection and be labeled
HORSE" mule" goat" or "jackass,
as the case may be.
The first horse-meat market has
been opened and the first shipment OF
% wild-range mustangs, rounded up by
Indians In eastern Oregon, has been re.
ceived, with more to follow If the de.
mand Is sufficient. The butcher says
he Is able to cut meat prices In two
and his quotations for horse flesh
range from 4 cents pound for soup
cuts to 20lz cents for T-bone steaks.

BEAN HARVESTER CAN
Be MADE At HOME

The enormous bean acreage in
Colorado in 1917 is even now, in
the middle Of the growing season,
causing some worry as to how this
great acreage may be harvested.
The best method of harvesting
is by using some Of the standard
and we'll tried out makes Of bean
harvesters. For any acreage as
large as ten or over, such harves-
ter will pay for itself. 1t is quite
probable, however, that the demand
for harvesters will be greater than
the machinery houses will be able
to supply, in which case some home
method Of harvesting will be essen
tial.
II is quite feasible to make a
harvester at home, assisted by tbs
blacksmith. Two stronge sled run
ners should be made out of two
inch planks, and rather strongly
braced between them, because they
will be subjected to heavy strain.
At the outside of these runners,
heavy steel knives should be fas.
tened. The knives must be so
placed that they will run under the
surface of the ground 30 as to cut
Oft the beans | to 2 inches under
the ground. Any good blacksmith
can make the knives for such a cut
ter, or could make the entire cut
ter.
There are some OF these home
made cutters in use which are
working successfully. They are
not as good as the regular CONNER
cial harvesters, but they are better
than any Of the hand devices, and
are quite cheap. 1t is quite prob
able that a little experimenting
will be necessary in order to set
the knives at the right angle for
the particular soils.-Alvin kezer,
Colo. Agricultural College.

Experiment on Barley

Madison, Wis.-Barley NUT.
fins. barley bread, barley break
fast food and barley cakes may
become as common on our ta-
bles as white bread, graham
mullins and oatmeal, according
to the results Of experiments
now being carried on by the
war research committee Of the
home economics department Of
the University of Wisconsin.
In seeking cereals to relieve
the wheat shortage the depart
ment found that the food and
commercial value Of barley
made 1t advisable to begin re-
search along lines that would
conserve the barley industry Of
Wisconsin, while at the same
time bringing about economical
results for the housewife.
Wisconsin, according to re-
cent statistics, produces one
eighth of the barley crop In the
United States.

Sunday School Convention

The Sunday school convention
held at the new school house in
Raymer last Sunday found small
but enthusiastic crowd of Sunday
school workers present from Buck
ingham, Stoneham, keota and
Greeley.
Six years ago, when there was
not an automobile in the country
and the mode Of conveyance was a
lumber wagon, surmounted by a
hay-rack the crowd was much larg-
or. Also this year those who came
the greatest distance were the first
here while very few Raymerites
came at all.
The papers were unusually good
and helpful, and We apprehend that
delegates went home with renewed
inspiration for the work Of the
coming year.
The banner remains with Buck
ingham for another year, and ii
they are able to win again next
year it becomes theirs permanent
ly. The number Of points made
by the Buckingham school clearly
placed them in the lead, with $50
points, Stoneham showed 1876
points and Raymer l90.
Rsymer should be able to make
a much better showing another
year, but the other schools will
doubtless do the same,

gratulations to the Buckingham
school. It takes more than hail
losses to take the pep out Of those
people.
