VICTORY OATS AN
ORDINARY VARIETY

Many requests are being received at
the Ohio Experiment Station regard
ing the "Victory" or "New Victory
variety of oats. The Station has
tested variety of oats under the
name Of Victory which has practically
the same origin as the variety now be-
ing sold by travelling seedsmen. Re-
garding the new variety, c. G. Will
liams, agronomist at the Ohio Expert
ment Station says: 81.
"Victory oats is a good variety. In
seven-year test at the Ohio Station
it has averaged nearly as high in yield
as the Silvermine, a well-known and
quite generally distributed variety of
oats. However, there is no reason
why farmers should pay more for
the "New Victory" oats than they
would for such standard varieties as
the Silvermine or Big Four. 1t will
not weigh more per bushel when
grown under Ohio condition than the
latter. Oats grown in the north and
northwest uniformly test higher per
bushel than Ohio-grown oats, but such
hing testing seed will not produce any
higher testing oats here than Ohio
grown seed"

IMPORTATION OF MANY
FINE FLOWERS STOPPED

Flower lovers are beginning to feel
the effects of the quarantine estab-
lished by the Federal horticultural
Baord on June 1, restricting the i'm
portation of many of our finest flow
ers which we were receiving yearly
from foreign countries. The quaran-
tine is directed against the importa-
tion of foreign insect pests and plant
diseases, the contention being that
America should restrict the entrance
of any more pests into our country
1t affects principally the importation
of greenhouse azalcas, boxwoods, ever
greens, perennial plants of the choicer
varieties, hydrangeas and orchids
the named varieties of roses, and all
of the bulbs except lilies, narcissi,
hyacinths, tulips, and crocuses, and
therefore excludes gladioli, tuberous
rooted bogonias, freesias, gloxinias,
Dubious irises and tuberoses.
In time it may be possible for us
to grow all of these various plants
for ourselves, but for the propaga-
tion of many of them our conditions
are not favorable and our labor would
seem to be too expensive.

TREATING WHEAT FOR SMUT


Losses from sinking smut of wheat
were rather high this year and many
growers are planning to clean up
next years crop by seed treatment
this fall.
Very smutty grain probably should
not be used for seed but may be'used
if treated by the soaking and skim
ming method. If not much smut is
present the sprinkling method which is
more easily handled may be adopted.
The formaldehyde solution is pre-
pared by stirring one pint of formal
dehyde in 40 gallons of water. This
will treat about so bushels of grain.
In the soaking and skimming method
the grain is poured slowly into this
solution and stirred. Floating smut
kernels and smut balls are skinned
before they take up water and sink.
The solution is then drained off, the
grain dumped into pile, and covered
for not more than two hours.
In the sprinkling method, the grain
should first be thoroughly recleaned
so as to remove all the smut balls
possible, spread out ina thin layer,
and sprinkled with the formaldehyde
solution until fairly wet. Then it
should be piled up and covered with
canvas or blankets for two hours. At
ter this it should be spread out again
to dry.
All treated grain should be sown as
soon as possible in order to avoid in
jury to the termination. All treated
grain not sown within "a hours should
be discarded for seed purposes. 1t
may be fed if thoroughly aired.

GRAPE JUICE CIRCULAR
READY FOR HOUSEWIVES

'The Making of Grape JUICE" and
Varieties Of Grapes for Juice" are
the subjects of pamphlets ready for
distribution to housewives of Ohio
from the Ohio Experiment Station,
Wooster.
The phamphlets give in detail the
steps in successful grape juice manu-
facture and also the relative value of
different varieties Of grapes for the
making of beverages, as determined
by tests at the station.
These tests show that there is an
opportunity for the production of at
tractive colors and flavors in juice by
blending the liquid pressed from diff
ferent varieties of grapes. Grapes
that porduce poor juice alone may
be used in connection with grapes that
have higher commercial value MAX
ing a product easy to market, it is
shown.

DRYING SEED CORN
INSURES GOOD STAND

Tests in caring for seed corn at the
Ohio Experiment Station show that
corn giving the best termination tests
in the spring is that which has been
dried out we'll in the fall and to which
some artificial heat has been applied.
1t is necessary to keep the corn we'll
ventilated, which may be accomplish
ed by suspending the ears from wire
in shed or attic; OF the ears may
be placed in a sling between two
strings SO that they do not touch each
other. If the corn is thoroughly dried
before freezing weather the germina-
tion test generally proves satisfactory
in the spring.
