How to Tres, Wheat for Smut.

Smut damage costs the farmers Of
Missouri many hundred thousands Of
dollars annually. This loss can be pre-
vented by o simple treatment of the
seed before planting.
DR.. C. NJ. Reed, Of the University Of
Missouri College Of Agriculture, rec.
ommcnds the following method Of
treating the wheat:
/. Dipping-Take two half barrels
or tubs with holes and plugs near the
bottom. Place one tub on two saw
horses and I'LL two-thirds full with A
solution Of formaldekyde. which Is
made BY mixing one pint or one pound
Of formalin guaranteed 40 per cent
solution Of formaldehyde) with 20 gal.
Ions Of water. Pour slowly into this
solution one-half TO one bushel of
wheat seed. stirring thoroughly for
0 10 10 minutes. 30 that the smut balls
and trash will reach the surface. Skim
this material off, then drain the solu-
ton into the second tub. Pour the
seed into q pile on the floor. Exchange

ton. Cover the treated seed with
sacks for four 20 ten hours. Sow at
once or spread the seed out 70 dry.

NO FOOD FOR HUNS
TILL NEUTRALS EAT

Paris, Dec. 24-Herbert G. Hoov-
er. American food administrators, will
soon come into possession of million
tons of German shipping, which will
be employed in revictualing devas-
.tated portions of France, Serbia, Bel
gium and Roumania, now destitute of
food. These supplies were wrung
from the Germans b ythe armistice
commissioners without pledging that
Germany would be supplied with
food.
AT present no supplies will be sent
to Germany, the first relief work of
the Allies being planned in neutral
countries. Meanwhile it is believed
that the Germans can subsist on food
stored for the use Of their army and
boarded by peasants.
A thorough investigation of the
food resources of the Central Powers
lis being made and oily after the
needs OF the iEentente nations and
neutrals are met with supplies to be
divided to enemy powers, should such
action be found imperative.

new SCHOOL CODE
IMPORTANT MEASURE
And Voters Should Be Prepared
/ To Act InteIliqentIy.

! One of the very important meas
ures to come before the next legis
lature will be certain changes in the
school laws of the state. The new
school code which has been drafted
by schooicode commission which
spent a year in examination and in.
ve3tigation, makes some radical chan
ges in the states management OF
the school system, says the Charles.
ton Mail.
The school system is one of vital
interest to the state, and it is one
which has been brought into prom
inence by the war. That there is IL
literacy in a country where every
man has a vote is, unthinkable, and
especially where there are free
schools But something is required
more than the mere Punishment of
illiteracy. It is necessary that the
education given should be the very
best possible.
This state has many physical ham
dicaps in the way of getting the
school house to the people Its ply
steal contour renders it difficult to To-
cate school houses where they will
be convenient to all the school pop
ulation in a district Hence has been
developed the idea of bringing the
children to the school house when
the school house could not be brough
to them-a proposition which has
been tried out in a number of sec
tions of this state with satisfactory
results.
Then also, recognizing the needs
of higher education than is obtain
able in the grammar school, there
has been a great development of the
rural high school, which is bringing
to regions hitherto without those ia
cilities an enlarged opportunity
These things have all marked the
progress which was being made at
about the time the war broke out
and which have been carried on
since. Now. however, the proposition
embraced in the proposed new schol
code is to change the entire system
of management. One of these chan
ges makes the county superintend-
ent, instead of being elected by the
people, chosen by a board composed
of the presidents of the boards of
education of til riots and the in
dependent distlao:s IN county. It
provides free text looks UP to a GER.
tain point. There are other changes
recomm ended.
Any system which which will in
crease the efficiency of the schools,
widen their scope and magnify their
usefulness Y Il be system worth
noting.

PREDICTS A "DRY"
NATION JAN, 1920
New York Paper Takes Census
of Trend of Public Opinion.

The New York Sun of Sunday pre-
scented reports from it's correspon'
dents indicating sentiment regarding
the prohibition amendment to the
Federal Constitution in those States
which have not yet acted favorably
upon it. According to these reports
there is every probability that it will
have been ratified by Legislatures OF
the necessary So States in the next
few weeks.
The prospective action will mean a
bone dry country one year from the
date Of the ratification by the thirty
sixth State, or by New Years Day
1920.
William III. Anderson, New York
State Superintendent of the Anti-Sa
loon League, hats fixed the date fol
approval of the amendment a by the
necessary number of commonwealth
at February 1 next. He believed thu
victory would be overwhelming, HI
said, and that it was probable tha
between As and AZ States will hav'
taken favorable action by April 1.

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
M pR. D. W. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember clean
mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within,
it is best to take vegetable-pin every
other day, made up Of May-apple, aloes,
ialap, and sugar coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. ii there is sudden
onset of what appears like hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi-
ously of hot lemonade. Ifpain develops
in head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
off poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet
every two hours, with frequent drinks Of
lemonade. The pneumonia appears in
most treacherous way, when the infu-
enza victim is apparently recovering and
anxious to leave his bed.a In recovering
from bad attack OF influenza or pneu-
monia the system should be built up
with good herbal tonic, such as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made
without alcohol from the roots and barka
of American forest trees, or his Irontic
(iron tonic) tablets, which can be OBJ
tanned at most drug stores, or send l0c.
to DIR. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo.

RABBIT AND MICE
Will SOON BEGIN
Orchard Men Told How To
Fiqht Pests.

Rabbits and mice will now begin
to take toll from the fruit growers
By. injuring trees.
To prevent mice from working
about the trees see that no weeds or
other vegetable matter remains clos
to the trees, nor should it be tuned
in the ground al this time as it will
only serve as bait for the mice and
great damage may result. They work
both at the surface and below the
surface Of the ground under the
SNOW 7h'''
The mice can be poisoned by
spreading about grain that. las
been soaked in strychinine so it may
save you many dollars in trees an.
labor in replacing.
Rabbits are somewhat harder to
control, particularly when there are
deep SHOWS for they are hard up for
food.
II the trees are pruned now and
the pruning allowed to lie on the
ground the rabbits will eat the ten
der bark from the twigs in prefer
ence to the tougher bark at the
base OF the standing trees.
Protective washes have seldom
given satisfaction because there is
little or no poison in them. A test
ed method of preventing rabbit in
jury to trees is: Dissolve one ounce
of sulphate of strychinine in three
quarts of boiling water. In another
vessel dissolve onehalf pound OF
laundry starch in pint Of cold wa
ter, stir this thoroughly. When both
ere dissolved pour the starch in the
vessel containing the strychnine and
boil until the starch clears. Add six
ounces Of glycerine and stir. When
cool paint on the trunks and limbs
Of the trees to be protected.
This must not be used on trees in
pastures or other places where
stock can have access to it. If rab
bits attack trees protected with this
poison they will die before any ser
ious damage to the trees is done.
