COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES
Smut Control


1t is estimated that for every nine
bushels OF grain harvested in Ore
gon there is at least one bushel lost
from smut. This loss can be prac-
ticaly eliminated at very slight ex-
penditure of time and money.
A good many farmers have used
blue vitrol in the past, and where
grain has been properly treated 1t
has been very successful with no loss
resulting. More recently the for
maldehyde treatment has come into
use, and It is just as effectual as
the blue vitrol, safer and less expen-
sive. Some failures have been re-
ported from its use, but investiga-
tions have proven that the failure
has been due to lack Of proper meth
ods being used in treating the grain.
It should be used at the rate OF
l pint OF formaldehyde to 40 gal
Ions OF water. This amount is am
ply suficient to treat so bushels Of
grain.
Wheat is best treated by pouring
1t into the solution and skimming
on the smut balls, weed seeds. and
other impurities that float, but oats
or barley can be treated just as well
by dipping in half filled sacks, or
by sprinkling. In either case 1t is
only necessary to thoroughly emerge
all Of the grain so that every par
ticle OF it is wet by the solution. In
using the sprinkling method one
should thoroughly stir the grain
and then allow it to remain covered
over night. Unless the seed Is sown
shortly after treating 1t should be
spread out so that it will dry. 1t is
a patriotic duty as we'll as an eco
nomical saving for every farmer to
treat his grain for smut this year.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

When you buy one OF the U. 8.
governments war savings stamps
you make the kind Of investment
capitalists are ANXIOUS to get.
There's not a doubt but that
moneyed men would soon take all
the issue of war savings stamps II
they could. With the payment Of
the interest and the principal guar
anteed by the honor and resources
Of this nation, and an interest rate
OF four per cent compounded four
times year, no other investment
offer is quite SO attractive as this.
But the government wants its war
savings certificates to be owned by
the millions Of Americans. That's
why the stamps are in small denom-
nations.
You can buy war savings stamp
In March for s4.14, in April for
$4.15, and SO on until December Of
this year. when the price will be
1923. You can buy government
thrift stamps for rs cents each.
They viii help people save many a
quarter and may be used in the pur-
chase Of the interest-bearing war
savings stamps. Both denomina-
tions are tax-free.
Start today to be an investor, a
capitalist. We Americans need the
saving habit. Uncle Sam is giving
us right now the best chance in the
world to get It. The money we lend
will help win the war.
The stamps are on sale at banks,
postofices and your store. Buy some
today.

they have more. they have the pur-
pose. the unselfish purpose. for

the lust Of victory. they are not
fighting for glory or fame. they are

themselves and their countrymen,
and that they may help all the

mics, enjoy the blessings Of govern
ment of the people, by the people
