HOW TO TREAT
WHEAT FOR SMUT

Smut damage costs the farmers of
Missouri many hundred thousands of
dollars annually. This loss can be
prevented by a simple treatment of
the seed before planting.
DR.. G. M. Reed of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture rec
ommends the following method of
treating the wheat:
l. Dipping.-Take two half-barrels
or tubs with holes and plugs near the
bottom. Place one tub on two saw
horses and fill two-thirds full with a
solution of formaldehyde, which is
made by mixing one pint or one pound
of formalin guaranteed 40 per cent
solution of formaldehyde) with 40
gallons of water. Pour slowly into
this solution one-half to one bushel
of wheat seed, stirring thoroughly for
five to ten minutes so that the smut
balls and trash will reach the sur
face. Skim this material off, then
drain the solution into the second tub.
Pour the seed into a pile on the floor.
Exchange positions of tubs and repeat
the operation. Cover the treated
seed with sacks for four to ten hours.
Sow at once or spread the seed out to
dry.
2. Sprinkling.-Remove smut balls
and trash from the seed by thorough
tanning. Spread the seed out on the
floor or wagon bed in layer four to
six inches deep. Sprinkle the solution
of formaldehyde on the seed, using
watering can. Shovel the seed over
thoroughly so that all the seed is
moistened, then shovel the seed into
pile and cover with sacks for four
to ten hours. Sow at once or spread
the seed out to dry.
One gallon of solution is sufficient
to treat one bushel of grain by either
method. Do not put treated seed on
smutted floor or in smutted sacks,
nor sow with smutted drill. Smut
ted sacks should be soaked in the So
luton of formaldehyde-one pint to
ten gallons Of water for 80 minutes.
Bins, floors and drills may be scrub
bed with this strong solution.

st. Louis, Mo.-The constant and
rapid increase in the cost of all the
materials and the labor that goes in
to the making of newspaper has
led tho St. Louis Semi Weekly Re-
public to increase its yearly sub
scription rate to one dollar. Its pub
fishers announce that the new rate be-
comes effective September /, 1918. As
the Semi Weekly Republic prints f04
papers every year, its publishers
point out that its subscribers will get
two big issues every week for q frac-
tion under .one cent per copy. Prae-
tically every big daily in the United
States is now selling at two cents q
copy and many Of them are selling for
three cents. The rise in price has
been very general and very marked.
Sunday papers now are selling any
where from 5 to IL cents per copy in
all parts Of the country. Most Of the
papers in the towns and smaller cit
les have increased or are planning to
increase their subscription rates. The
publishers of the Semi Weekly Re-
public were reluctant to make the in
crease in subscription price but care
full study of the situation convinced
them that it must be done. Until
September ! subscriptions will be ac-
cepted for one year at Soc, or three
years for si.25.

PLOW EARLY TO
KILL HESSIAN FLY

For the last two years an unusual
ly large percentage of Missouri wheat
growers have endeavored to control
the hessian fly by putting into prac-
tice the measures recommended by the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Missouri. This cooperative
effort has brought the pest we'll I'M
der control and but very little, if any,
damage will be done to wheat this
fall and next spring. This may be as
sured if the farmers continue to prac-
tice methods followed for the last two
years, says T. j. Talbert of the De-
partment of Entomology.
Wheat threshing is not yet COM
plete, but the records available indi-
cate an average yield of approximate
ly II bushels per acre for the 1918
crop of wheat. The 1917 Missouri
wheat crop made an average yield of
approximately Is bushels per acre,
while the average yield in 1916 was
8.3 bushels per acre.
The low yield in 1916 was due large
ly to hessian fly injury. The ravages
of the fly were so great in many
counties that the farmers did not at
tempt to harvest their wheat crops.
This was particularly true in South
and South Central Missouri, where the
average yield Of 20 counties was 4.6
bushels per acre, and for 40 counties
the yield was 5.3 bushels per acre.
To keep this most dangerous insect
pest of wheat under control, Missouri
farmers must be on guard every and
practice the kind of farming that de-
stroys the hessian fly and at the same
time increases the yield of wheat. MIR.
Talbert recomemnds the following:
Pillow the wheat stubble as soon
as possible, after wheat harvest and
bury the hessian fly in the flaxseed
stage. Early blowing may produce
from five to ten bushels more per acre
than September or October blowing.
2.-Cultivate the plowed ground to
keep down volunteer wheat and seeds,
and kill and starve the hessian fly.
The cultivation pulverizes and COM
pacts the soil and saves moisture
which the young wheat may need.
3.-Delay the wheat seeding until
on, or after, the fy-free dates, if any
hessian fly injury was noticed last
year. In no event should seeding be-
gin before the last week in September
in North Missouri and the first of Oe-
tober in South Missouri. Prepare a
good, firm, well compact seed bed, and
SOW the wheat as nearly on the dates
indicsted as possible.
4-Co-operate with your neighbers
and get them to practice these meth
DDS in wheat growing. This viii help
in preventing the hessian
fly from getting start in any neigh
borhood.

"non-productive" classes under the

The question was raised in a New

At General Crowder's office it was

never been considered as being en-
gagged in non-essential work and that
there is no intention of so declaring

SEED WHEAT FOR SMUT

The prevalence of sinking smut in
Missouri wheat fields is appalling.
Specialists from the Bureau of Plant
Industry, United States Department
of Agriculture, working under the
direction of DR.. G. M. Reed of the De-
partment of Botany of the University
Of Missouri College of Agriculture,
have recently completed thorough
inspection of the wheat fields Of 48
counties of the State. They found
covered or sinking smut in 81 of the
48 counties inspected.
In nine counties the percentage of
infection was not excessive--iess
than per cent. Three counties show
ed l to per cent; seven counties had
fields which ran to. 9 per cent; sew
en- counties 10 to 10 per cent; seven
counties 20 to 40 per cent; and in
four counties, some of the fields show
ed over 80 per cent infection.
At this rate at least half Of the
wheat produced in the State should
not be used for seed purposes unless
the seed is treated before seeding this
fall. Next years crop depends on the
attention given the seed now. Much
of this wheat which was inspected by
these men is not fit for seed and the
crop produced from it probably would
not even be marketable.
Reports coming from the county
agents to the College of Agriculture
state that as high as 80 farmers q
day are inquiring regarding the treat
ment of seed wheat for smut. One
agent reports that man in his coun-
ty was unable to sell his wheat at
any of the mills because of its con-
dition.
J. C. Hackleman of the Department
of Farm Crops says that it would pay
the Missouri farmer to treat every
bushel of wheat sown this fall. Lack
Of attention to this will mean that
smut will be worse next year than it
is this year.

The Bucklin Herald, after noting
the disappearance of two hams from
smokehouse, remarks: "Of course,
nobody knows who the thief was or
where he lives, but an investigation
might, If made in the right way and
IN the right place, disclose some
things. 1t would seem at glance
that whoever got this meat was no
stranger in the town, but lives close
hereabouts and knew right where to
get the booty. Some folks don't
amount to anything and still thew
live" From the above it would seem
that the Herald must have a pretty
strong "hunch" as to who got the
hams.
