Stop THE DAT SMUT.

Farmers hardly realize the loss they
suffer each year from smut in oats. At
blooming time they see many blasted
heads, but the other plants soon out
grow them and they are passed by un-
noticed. Yet there may be a loss of
ten per cent. or more of the crop The
loss is easily prevented, says Henry
Dorsey, agronomist for the extension
service of Connecticut Agricultural
College at Storrs.
Seed oats should be treated with for
malin to kill the spores of the smut.
One pint of formalin is enough to treat
forty bushels Of oats There are vss-
rious ways to apply it. One way is to
mix the pint of formalin with thirty or
forty gallons of water. and sprinkle
over the oats until each grain is mois-
tened.
AS a gallon of liquid is enough for a
bushel of oats, it is only necessary to
make up enough of the solution to
treat the required amount of seed.
Thus, one-quarter Of a pint of formalln
in seven and one-nalf to ten gallons
Of water will treat ten bushels.
A good way to do the sprinklinS is
to have the oats in a pile on q clean
floor with one man to shovel them
over and over as another sprinkles the
solution over them. After all the oats
are moistened they should be covered
with blankets and sacks to retain the
gas generated by the solution. Leave
the cover on the pile of oats for six
or eight hours when it should be re-
moved and the oats dried.
Do not let the oats heat in the pile
Also after treatment do not put them
in unciean bins or bags

THE IRON INDUSTRY IN 1918.
Decrease in Output but Increase in the
Value

Complete statistics of iron ore mining
in 1918, compiled under the direction Of
Ernest +. Burehard of the United States
geological survey, department Of the in
terror, show decrease in output and in
shipments but af increase in value. In
the canvass for these statistics, the state
geological surveyors of Alabama, Georgia.
Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wash
ington and Wisconsin co-operated with
the federal survey.
The iron ore mined in the United
States in 1918, exclusive of that con
tanning per cent or more of manganese,
amounted to 69,65S,27s gross tons, com
pared with 75,2SS,S5l tons in 1917, de-
crease of rs per cent. The quantity of
ore shipped from the mines in 1918 was
7202l ,202 gross tons, valued at $244,-

valued at S23S, 260,444 in 1917, de-
crease in quantity of AZ per cent, but
an increase in value of &c per cent The
average selling value of the ore per gross
tof at the mines for the whole United
States in 1918 was $3.50, compared with
at the mines, mainly in Michigan and
Minnesota, amounted Mt the close of 1918
to sails gross tons, compared with
ll,003,s43 gross tons in 1917, decrease
of about % per cent.
Iron Ore Mined by States.
Iron ore was mined from 45S mines
in 20 states in 1918, compared with 452
mines in 25 states in 1917. OF these
states, California, Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada, Utah and Washington produced
iron ores chiefly for metalurgic fux and
small part Of the production in Col
orado and Michigan was used for fux.
One mine in Virginia reported a small
quantity of iron ore used in the manu-
facture of hydrogen gas. The other iron
ore mined was used mainly in blast fur
naces, except small quantities from
Georgia, Michigan, New York and Wis

PublicService Commission
CAR TRAFFIC STILL

Complaint Made That the

operating

New York, Aug. 9.--The usual Satur-
day throngs at Manhattan terminals of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
lines to Coney island and Brighton beach
were absent early to-day. The strike of
Brooklyn carmen, which for three days
has paralyzed traffic on the surface, sub
way and elevated lines of the company,
bid fair to make the tie-up equally as
complete to-day.
A few elevated and subway trains
were operated during the night, but the
service was sporadic ard the patronage
extremely light. No surface cars were
operated, and the number ordered out
Of the. barns this morning was totally
inadequate for the trade demands of the
routes they travelled. As on the three
preceding days of the strike the motor
buses, jitneys, moving vans and other
similar conveyanees increased in num-
Der as the day advanced. As the larger
Brooklyn department stores and many
offices are closed on Saturday during
August, thousands of store employees and
shoppers helped to decrease the size of
the early crowds by remaining at home
or seeking recreation at places on traffic
lines not affected by the strike.
In an effort to settle the strike Louis
Nixon Of the public service commission
arranged to met committee Of the
strikers and listen to their grievances.
In view of the declaration Of Lindley
NJ Garrison, receiver Of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company, that he would
not treat with committee which mere
ly represented the union, it was Commits
sioner Nixon's plan to urge the strikers
TO appoint a representative delegation
to meet the receivers demand that nego-
tiations for a settlement be carried on
by strictly bona fide employees, whether
on strike or not.s
Following conference with the B. R.
T. officials, Second Deputy Police Com
missioner William Lahey declared that
there was lack of cooperation between
the company and the police. Commits
sioner Lahey said he went over the plans
with the company officials as to how
many policement would be needed for
the operation Of their cars to-day and
received the reply that they intended to
run 81 trolley cars and ll6 trains on the
elevated lines. The commission said he
promised the company that he would fur
nish as many policemen as were needed.
