GRAIN SMI1T.

GRAIN SMUT.
Maximum grain crops cannot be
produced without treating the seed for
the prevention Of smut, no matter how
good the season, or how we'll the
ground is prepared. The average an
nual loss in the United States from
oats smut is about ST 5000, 900 and
from sinking smut of wheat, about
$10,OO0,0Q0 as a direct loss, and
$2.5o0,000 more from a lowering Of
market grades. Most Of this could be
prevented by seed treatment. Espe-
cially in times Of high prices, and food
shortage, these losses cannot be over
looked. Before the seed is sown the
sYnut a be prevented; afterwards it
will be too late.
Different SHUTS Effect Different
Plants.
SHUTS are caused by the attack of
poiositic fungi and different ones
affect different grains. That is the
wheat smut will not attack oats or
barley, and oats smut will not attack
wheat or barley. Therefore there is
no danger of seeding wheat after
smutty oats or barley, or any other
crop except wheat, provided the seed
is free from its WI particular smut.
Sinking smut of wheat and oats
smut do most damage in this country.
Wheat smut (stinking). This is by
far the worst disease of wheat in the
northwest, where in some sections it
has necessitated a considerable change
in farming. Losses of seventy-fve per
cent have been known.
The smut fungus can attack only
the sprouting grain. After the plants
have reached a height of a few inches
they r safe from further attacks. No
visible symptoms appear, however,
until the grain heads out, when the
well known smut masses are formed.
The spores Of this, smut also when
scattered loose in the soil, will germ
mate if there is sufficient moisture
and die before winter. They live over
winter on the seed coats Of stored
grain or inside unbroken smutted ker-
nels in the soil. The same conditions
apply to the other smuts.
Seed should be treated before plant
ing. For wheat the third and fourth
methods described below are prefer
able to the first and second, as they
give an opportunity for the light
smutty kernels to float off and be re-
jected.
Methods Of Seed Treatment.
Formalin (37 to 40 per cent solu-
ton of formaldehyle gas). The proper
solution is one pint Tor pound) with
As gallons of water.
= l. Put the solution in a tight barrel
or vat and dip into it the sacks half
filled with grain, but tied at the top.
Move them up and down for a few
minutes to get the air out and to wet

all the seed. Keep the grain immersed
In thia solution for ten minutes. Take
out the sacks, drain them, and let
them stand without opening for two
hours or more-if necessary over
night.
2. Spread the grain on a barn floor
or other suitable place, a sackful at
a time, and sprinkle the formalin So
luton on each sackful with a water
ing pot. Then shovel it over and mix
thoroughly to wet every kernel and
finally put it into a pile and cover
with blankets for two hours or more.
8. Put the solution into a water
tight half barrel, or, better still, in
to a tank IL to 10 inches deep, 4 to
8 feet long, and about 2 feet wide.
Pour in the seed slowly until it COW
ers the bottom of the tank to the
depth of six to ten inches. Stir to get
out all the air and, in the case of
wheat, to release the light and smut
ted kernels, which must be SKINNED
off as they rise to the top. Remove
the grain in a few minutes, drain, and
put into piles for two hours or more.
4. Put the solution into a smut ma
chine and the grain through it.
Then shovel the seed into a pile and
cover with blankets for two hours or
more. Where a large mount of seed
is to be treated, the use of the smut
machine offers the most economical
method. Seed should be left in moist
piles and covered for two hours and
over night if necessary. 1t is bette,
to let it dry just before seeding, OF
adjust the drill accordingly. In buy.
ing formalin be sure that there is not
a whitish gelatinous mass in the bot.
tom of the bottle. If so the solution
is below strength because part of the
formaldehyde has changed to para.
formaldehyde and settled to the bot.
tom. This may also occur by keeping
the formation over winter and it be.
coming too cold. Formalin should be
stored in a moderately warm place
The deposit can be dissolved by gent.
ly heating but do not boil.
Formalin solution does not become
weaker by evaporation but stronger
because the water ev%aporates a little
faster than the formaldehyde. Re.
member this and do not think it gets
weaker and use a stronger solution
and kill the seed.
Seed grain may be treated now, il
thoroughly dried to prevent moulding
and sprouting before it is stored
away. Be sure to store in clean bins
or sacks that are free from smut
spores and if not sure treat the bin.
or sacks before placing the treated
grain in them.
Treat all seed and thus reduce the
gamble Of farming. The formalir
treatment is preferable.

Warns Against a
Negotiated Peace

Formal warning was issued few
days ago by the American Defense
society to all of its memoirs thruou.
the United States. Hawaii. the Phillip
pine Islands, Alaska and Porto Rico
against the traps constantly being set
by Germany in disguised attempts to
lure the United States and her Allies
into situation thru which a nego-
tiated peace might be brought about.
The society declares that It feels It is
necessary to state its position without
equivocation. and calls upon all loyal
Americans to endorse its stand, which
is that only unconditional surrender
Of Germany and her Allies can end the
war.
Tho society urges every American
and every loyal citizen of the Allied
nations in this war to resist in every
manner the utilization of the present
so-called peace suggestions OF Austria
by the enemy within our gates which
have been discussed so much during
the past few weeks. This enemy is the
composite of the secret friends of
Germany here in our land. the paci-
fists. the would.be traitor and the dis
affected publicist- These secret en-
emies, according to the American De
fence society, naturally will try. by the
devious methods OF which they hold
the mastery, to advance the proposal
that there should be negotiations for
peace and are even at the present time
delighting in the danger such negotia-
tlons would entail upon our country.
The society is unaiterahly opposed to
iany secret conference. and to the ad-
mission of Germany and her allies to
the conference which shall settle the
conditions which are to exist at the
Termination OF the war.
In writing to tho three hundred
branches OF the society thruout the
United States on the subject. Charles
Stewart Dawson. chairman Of the
board Of trustees says:
