In Controlling Corn Smut

Last spring Mr.. T.. 4. Hurt appear
ed AT the county agents office saying
/ TINT he had sustained great loss In
growing corn ON account OF injury
from corn smut and wanted 10 know
| II ANYTHING could be done 10 control
the smut. Mr.. Hurt and the agent
searched for the latest information ON
file In the Farm Bureau office and at
ter finding IL Mr.. Hurt declared that
he would give the plan decided upon a
thorough test. Mr.. Hurt succeeded so
well In controlling the corn smut
which made Its appearance as usual
that the agent has asked him to tell
through the columns of this depart
ment for the benefit Of other farmers
as to how he did Il. We are indeed
glad TO give the space for this impor-
tant information and trust that other
farmers may be equally benefited by
following Mr.. Hurts practice.-Edi-
tors note.
A. G. Heyman, County Agent,
Dear Sir AT your request Will tell
my experience In handling corn smut
this season.
The first smut appeared on some
volunteer cane growing near the corn.
cut out all the smutty cane, hauled
Il out Of the field and buried II.
l afterwards Kept close watch for
smut In the corn which appeared first
near the cane. treated the corn
which was affected the same as l did
the cane, but | made conscientious
effort TO gather all smut as soon MS II
made its appearance and before the
smut balls had time TO mature and
burst open and thereby preventing the
spreading Of the smut spores. have
probably destroyed In all this season
100 smut balls In about ID acres Of
corn with the result that there Is prac-
tiCally no smut 10 be found In my
fields. BY treating the pest this way
only very few ears have been at
tucked and less than half dozen have
been spoiled.
also experimental ON a few stalks
where the smut appeared on the blades
by stripping off all the affected parts
and leaving the stalk. On this the ears
did not become affected.
A few years ago | had two acres Of
corn ON some Of the same ground but
made no effort to fight the smut with
the result that about half OF the crop
was ruined.
consider the effort made as relat-
ed above big paying proposition for
anyone attempting to grow corn.

A Winter Thunder Storm.

An unusual winter thunder storm pass
ed over this section last Friday afternoon,
February l4th. A summer sort oil CLOUD
arose in the west, and as il drew near
there were vivid flashes OF lightning and
sharp crashes OF thunder, which contln-
ued for nearly half hour. Heavy
showers of rain fell and there was also
a good deal OF hail. In the kearneys-
vile neighborhood the storm was quite
severe. The hail fell in great quantities,
covering the road. Lightning struck a
barracks on the Border farm and killed
a horse belonging to Ralph W. Border.
The animal was near the door, ana was
the only one in the building that was In
iured. Fortunately the building was NOT
set afire. Charles Ferguson. a coloreo
man, thinks that he had lucky escape,
as he was away from the side OF the
horse only few moments when It was
struck and killed.
The thunder was plenty loud enough
to awaken all the snakes in this section
