The Wednesday and Thursday even
ingS we were entertained by some clever
movies, especially the reel loaned us by
the 10th Hut, which depicted scenes and
sights of Camp Hancock.
Following the movie on Thursday even
ing DR.. Reed lectured on social hygiene
sent out by the Commission on Training
Camp Activities. He gave the crowd an
excellent talk on the above topic.
The slides which he showed were eX-
tremely fine and addict much to his lee
ture.
The greeting he received on Thursday
prompted the suggestion that we invite
special units to hear his lecture on Fri
we therefore had Companies B and c
of the 109th march to the building and
together with our regular crowd, our
building was so damned that we were
unable to accommodate 500 men of the
Third Motor Mechanics who were ordered
to hear the lecture. This outpouring of
men gave added stimulus to DR.. Reed in
his lecture.
On both occasions Captain Lee Alex
ander Stone, Division Gas Officer, intro
duced the speaker and by his remarks
won the audience to the reception of DR..
Reads lecture.

An excellent program of high grade
music was rendered by the quartette
from the First Baptist church of Au-
gusta on last Friday evening. They
were greeted with a, large audience
and every number was roundly APP
plauded. The program offered GER
tainly reflects great credit on the di-
rector, Mr.. Robert Irwin, and too much
cannot be said in praise of the work
of each member of the quartette. The
enthusiastic reception which they re-
ceived would tend to disprove the
theory that soldiers care only for pop
ular music.
A very interesting stunt was given
in this building on Saturday evening
by Corporal G. C. Holt of the Motor
Mechanics. Corporal Holt was for
merly of the United States Navy, and
is also an experienced vaudeville ar
tist Professionally he is known as
"Do-Do, the Human Torch" He catls-
ed his audience to gasp with astonish-
ment in this feats of fire and glass
eating, Several articles of food were
saturated with gasoline and set on fire
by Corporal Holt, after which he
calmly proceeded to devour them. He
wound up his feast with an electric
light bulb, broken up into fine pieces
for desert. The building was crowded
to its capacity and the boys are still
guessing as to how he did it.
The Motor Mechanics Medley Jazz
Band, under the direction of Julian
Fox gave a very fine program in con-
nection with the movies on Monday
evening. This organization, though
hastily formed, certainly shows eff
cient work on the part of the director
and the men. They certainly delighted
their audience. They are open for So
cial engagements in and around the
camp.

One thing among many others that
the war has done is to give the east
o better understanding as to the
needs and value Of the mines Of the
west
When the war came on, and with
il a tremendous demand for metals,
the mines at once assumed an I'M
portanee they had never held before.
To enable the nation to win the war,
the mines had to produce liberal
output under most adverse eondi-
lions, and this they accomplished to
an extent beyond criticism.
Many old mines and numerous
prospects are held idle at the present
time, the owners only awaiting ~
advent Of more propinous times %
start development operations. Pres
ent governing facts can only mean
that when better national conditions
materiahze there will be q record re-
visal in mining, more substantial thar

Record.

TREAT sOReHUm SEEDS,
County Agent Says YIad Can b
Increased BY a Simple

by County Agent A. G. Heyaa,n.)
AS he ime for planting any Of the
sorghum is at hand, the attention Of
farmers is,called % the fact that the
yield Of these grains can be consider
ably increased BY the simple process
Of treating their seed for smuts.
Last year the decreased production
in New Mexico alone, due to various
plant diseases which could have been
largely controlled had proper meth
DDS been used, was as follows SHUTS
on wheat caused q loss Of 10 per cent,
or $4,000 bushels; smut on barley
caused a loss Of 2 per cent, or 1000
bushels; oat smut caused loss Of
10 per cent, or 10000 bushels; com
mon smut on corn caused a loss Of 8
per cent, or 100000 bushels fusarium
wilt on potatoes caused a loss Of IL
per cent or 2,S4O,OOO pounds and
black rot on sweet potatoes caused a
loss Is 40 per cent, or $4,000 bushels,
In view Of this tremendous loss in
this state alone, and in view Of the
great need Of all kinds Of food II is
incumbent on every farmer who
wishes 20 be 100 per cent patriotic to
be more careful in both the treatment
and selection Of bis seed.
The smuts on sorghums in this
state are not as serious as the SHUTS
on the other cereals, yet there are
three kinds Of SHUTS which effect the
sorghnms, and two Of these smuts
can be largely controlled By soaking
the seed for one hour in q solution Of
one pint Of formalin to thirty gallons
Of water.
A simple apparatus for this pro-
cess IA TO cut q wooden barrel in two
halves, place 0 plug near the bottom
Of each, and set one half with soln-
ton and seed on two sawhOrses. AZ
