FARMERS ARE URGED TO
TREAT SEED WHEAT

At this time it is the patriotic duty
OF every farmer to increase the yield
of wheat per acre. The wheat de-
stroyed in the u. S. each year by
smut amounts to $4,000, 900 bushels.
and also a dockage on the price es-
timated to be about 100000. This
can be controlled by a simple, mex
pensive treatment. When the infec-
ton is slight it is practically impossi-
bic to determine whether there is any
smut present or not. So all the seed
wheat should be treated each year to
insure better yield per acre and
clean crop. The following treatment
is being recommended by the u. s.
Department of Agriculture: 1st, clean
seed by tanning, ETC.; End, then spread
seed on tight floor; 3rd, make up
solution using one pint formaldehyde
(37 to 40 per cent? to forty gallons
OF water; 4th, have some one to
shovel seed over and sprinkle with
solution, using common sprinkling
can, get grains damp enough to stick
to hands, using one-half to three
fourth gallon of solution per bushel:
9th, after treating, cover seed from
three to four hours; 9Th, spread grain
out to dry. The formaldehyde can be
bought at any drug store. A good
PI1CGIC0 Is TO treat the seed one daV
and sow them the next day. Precau
tons as follows. 1st, do not leave the
seed covered more than four hours
after the treating; End, do not use the
solution for treating which has been
standing for any time; 3rd, be care
ffui not to re-infect seed after treat
ing by handling with sacks, etc. Ito
treat sacks use one pint formalde-
hyde to ten gallons of water or din
IN boiling water); 4th, when sowing
day after treating open up drill
enough to secure right amount per
acre. There is a bIuestone or copper
this treatment, though the above meth
cd is less expensive and more conven-
lent. The method recommended costs
about two cents per acre to treat seed.
1t is worth the cost and time to be sure
you have clean wheat crop. Treat
your wheat seed and not only help
yourself financially but help win the
war. For further information adj
