HINTS TO FARMERS.
Increase The Yield by Preventing

The agricultural department is
urging the farmers to increase their
grain acreage for 1919, and also
their weld by preventing smut ot
wheat oats barley ard rye. statis-
ties show that in 1917 oat smut de-
stroyed 9i.G4S.c0o bushels Of oats and
= INT or stiHhing smut destroyed 81
$50 900 bushels Of wheat dufTng the
same year.
Stem smut of rye destroys 100000
bushels Of rye annually. This enor-
nous waste may be stopped by treat
ing your seed with Formaldehyde,
which may be secured at any good
;:r.ie store.
To apply this treatment, mix the
commercial fornlaldehyde (3G to 30
per cent pure formaldehyde) and
water in proportion OF pound Of

sheet, and sprin:l:e the solution over

shovt':. Until the surface OF each
seed Is wet with the solution, this
requires about l gallon Of solution for

Next shovel the grain into a pile
and cover with sacks which are wet
with the solution. leave for at least
two hours then spread it out and let
it dry. Ii is ready 20 plant as soon as
