INCREASED CALL ON VERMONT.
To Furnish Labor to Government Man
ufacturing Plant.

R. W. Simonds has received informa
ton which indicates that If the manu-
facturers, to whom blanks we're sent
recently, had taken care of the matter
it would have been to the states bene-
fit in the coming months for there Is
a marked shortage in labor In some of
the war industries and it is very prob
able that many will be taken from Yer
mont Several Of the big plants had to
shut down part of their establishments
because there have not been enough men
to operate them for lack Of labor. Re-
ports have already reached the govern
ment of plants wanting men, one of
which needs 5000 at once.
This will hit Vermont hard and pri-
vate business will be more affected than
any other branch. 1t is very probable
that the clerks in stores will be among
the first called upon to respond to the
unskilled labor demand. These can be
done without and the owners can give
more time to the stores than they have
given in the larger places, Governors,
mayors, bankers, boards Of trade lead
ers and state councils of defense are al
ready being appealed to to help in sup
plying labor. Those who are putting
any block in the big program win soon
find themselves called upon to give a
reason for so doing.
Because of the fact that the manu-
faeturers treated lightly the recent call
from the government for report upon
their need for employment, Vermont's
quota has been placed at 3,340, which is
over double what was allotted to the
state Aug. l.

EXPECT SECOND PRIMARY.
In Order to Determine Democratic SEN
atorial Contest in Mississippi

jackson, Miss, Aug. 20. Interest in
the state wide primaries being held in
Mississippi to-day centered in the three
cornered Democratic senatorial contest
in which James X. Vardaman, the in
cumbent, is opposed by Representative
Pat Harrison and former Governor f. Y.
Noel. Political leaders believe the con.
test will be so close as to necessitate a
second primary.
Interest in the senatorial contest has
been heightened through the publication
of letter written by President Wilson
in answer to an inquiry as to Senator
Vardaman's record in which the presi-
dent said:
81 can but regard his election as a
condemnation of my administration by
the people of Mississippi"
Both Representative Harrison and for
mer Governor Noel made their campaign
on loyalty to the administration
basis. Senator Vardaman in his speeches
declared he had not been disloyal, but
said he and the president "often dis
agreed"

HOW TO COMBAT
LOOSE SMUT IN WHEAT
The Eastern States Suffer Serious Losses
from Disease of This Food
Grain.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 20.--Within a
radius of 100 miles of the national CAPT
tai, probably more than $1,000, 600 worth
Of wheat vanished into the air this sea-
son as the wind dispersed the black,
sooty masses Of spores which appeared
in place Of the heads of grain. A special
st Of the United States department Of
agriculture returned from recent trip
so reported the damage done in this re-
gion. Extensive losses also have been
suffered on account Of this disease, known
as loose smut, throughout the wheat-pro.
ducing area east of the Mississippi river
and particularly along the Atlantic coast.
Ordinary methods of disinfecting seed
grain with copper sulphate or formalde-
hyde are of no avail in controlling this
kind of smut in wheat. Treating the seed
with hot water before planting this fall
by methods described in farmers bulletin
$50, is therefore being urged by the de-
partment of agriculture as means of
stopping these losses and contributing to
the supply Of this essential food grain
The treatment can be used satisfac.
torily on part of the seed for this years
planting, and this should be reserved for
seed plat. This plat, if properly iso-
lated from other growing wheat, will fur
nish smut-free seed for sowing the whole
crop next year, so that the harvest Of
1920 may be benefited materially. While
treatment will not be of immediate value
from the point Of view Of at once adding
to the supply of wheat, for the reason
that it is impracticable to treat seed for
the entire crop, the extent of losses shows
the Importance of early attention to the
possibility of their recurrence.
Seed Treatment Necessary.
The methods which are effective against
this loose smut in wheat resemble the
process of pasteurization. They are not
easily applied on the farm, and when
isolated cases of serious losses occur
most growers prefer to change seed rath-
er than undertake the treatment. How.

Grain Driers May Be Used.

There is some hope Of eventually re-
lieving the grower of the necessity for
using the rather involved method of the
seed plat, department specialists say. 1t
appears entirely feasible, in view of the
recent perfection of the method of pas
teurization for seed grain, to develop
equipment for carrying out this process
on commercial scale by the use of q
grain drier A large number of grain
driers already are in use in the United
States. They represent about 100000
bushels daily capacity, and many are of
type which with slight modification
could be used in applying hot yapor
treatment TO the grain. The drier can
then be used at once to dry the treated
grain, which is always thoroughly soaked
and difficult to handle after the treat
ment,

the East this season that there seems
to be little likelihood OF gaining much
by purchasing new seed, unless it is posi-
lively known to have come from a field

In districts which have been seriously
affected this year, the grower is advised
to consult his county agent regarding one
of the two proved methods of seed treat
ment In using the seed-plat method, it
win be better to give somewhat severe
treatment, even though it results in
slight injury to termination, rather than
to allow any Of the smut to survive. If q
