NOON FIRE DOES
LITTLE DAMAGE
Fire Sleigh Summoned to Simmons Fac
tory to Extinguish Flame at
Black Japan Kiln.

What promised to be dangerous fire
at the Simmons Company just after
noon today, was nipped in the bud by
the fremen, who took opportunity of
this first chance to use the emergency
fire sleigh which has been rugged up
at the Central department. The fire
started at the black Japan kiln and
three small tanks of chemical were
needed to extirguish it. The fremen
arrived on schedule time, considering
the conditions of the street and one
half hours work was all that was
needed to put out the flames. The fire.
men are still keeping their "fngers
crossed in the hopes that no serious
fires will call them while the streets
are blocked with snow.

Drill AGAIN at Camp Custer.

Camp Custer, Mich, Jan. 16.-Camp
Custer was sufficiently dug out during
the day to permit of battalion drilling
on several regimental parade grounds,
and Major General Parker was so en-
couraged that he set plans in motion
for a division review TO be staged as
soon as ground conditions permit. Gov
ernor Sleeper of Michigan will be pres
ent with his staff, having so assured
the cornmandant in private conversa-
ton. The Eighty-sixth division band,
under Bihumir Kryl of Chicago, gave
its fourth and last concert, but General
Parker is considering proposition
whereby the men win make weeks
tour Of Michigan, and possibly a second
weeks tour of Wisconsin. If this is
done Rotar,ans and other patriots will
guarantee expenses in each town, as
the division cannot legally finance the
trip.

seed has been treated and is still damp,
the seeder or drill should be set to SOW
q bushel more of seed per acre.
Caution TO be Observed in the
Above Treatment.
/. Grain should be run through a
tanning mill to remove many of the
blighted kernels, the spore balls, many
free smut spores and dirt.
2. Avoid freezing Of wet grain be-
cause freezing would lower or destroy
termination.
3. Be sure to set machine to SOW
more per acre if the grain is damp and
swollen.
SEEDS FOR NEXT YEARS CROPS.
The rush season has passed on the
average farms in Kenosha county. The
farmers now have little more time
to think things over. A little thinking
and planning many times pays in dol
lars and cents and may save labor.
There is no better time than the pres
ent for farmers to be planning on the
amounts and kinds of seeds that they
will require for their farms next year.
If it is found necessary to send away
some distance for seeds, this should be
done early because of unavoidable de-
lays in transportation. How many
times farmers do not get their seed in
the ground on time because the seed
has not arrived. In the case of corn
this may mean the difference between
mature and soft corn while with small
grains it may cause a decrease in yield
of several bushels per acre.
Farmers who are going to use their
own small grains for seed next spring
should now get their tanning mill out,
and get them in running order. Small
grains that are taken direct from the
threshing machines contain varying
amounts of weed seeds, chaff, light
and small kernels.
Tt surely is true that the end of
harvest depends much upon the quality
of seed sown. Impurities of the grain
cause too light a seeding; very light
kernels do not terminate and small
kernels have tendency to produce
more small kernels which decreases the
yield per acre. The tanning of grain
for seed purposes can be done this win
ter when farmers are not as busy and
then when the rush of spring work
comes on, the seed grain will be ready
to put in the grain drill.

DIsINFECT SEED GRAINS BEFORE
SOWING THEM

Farms must continue to produce
maximum yields Of small grains, if
"Our Boys" and those of the allies are
to be fed The present is the time to
consider ways and means of increasing
yields per acre of small grains without
the use Of much labor. There are
grain smuts and blights which mater
tally reduced the yields of grains in
Kenosha County during the past crop
season. These diseases could have
been killed and their damage prevented
by simple, inexpensive treatment of
the seed grain which any farmer can
find time enough to apply before the
rush Of Spring work begins. This
treatment is not cure all, and can
never take the place of strong seed
and good preparation of the soil. 1t is
thing to be added to good cleaned seed
and good cultural practice.
Practical Direction for Treatment of
Seed Barley for Control of Loose
Smut and Leaf Stripe Diseases.
Use one pint of 1870 formalin to 80
gallons of water at a temperature Of
60oF. Soak the seed in loosely filed
burlap sacks for two hours. Drain on
Stats over the barrels or tanks to pre-
vent wasting of the solution. Dry by
spreading on a clean floor, and stir oc-
casionally with a rake or shovel. 1t
will dry faster if wind can blow
over the wet grain. Store in clean bags
or bins until ready to SOW. If the seed
is still damp and swollen the seeder
or drill should be set to sow one half
bushel more to the acre than the usual
amount.
Practical Directions for Treatment Of
Seed Oats, Wheat and Rye for Con-
troll of Sinking Smut of Wheat,
Covered and Loose Smut
of Oats
Use one pint of formalin to 35
gallons of water. Dip the seed in
loosely filed burlap or gunny sacks into
the solution and soak for five minutes.
Drain and pile the grain on clean floor
or canvas and cover with sacks or
canvas for two hours. The covering
of the grain is important as it prevents
too rapid evaporation of the formalin.
Dry the grain by spreading ON clean
floor and stir occasionally with a rake
or shovel Store grain in clean bags
or bins until it is sown. When the
