Wheat Smut

Sinking smut of wheat is fungus
disease and affects the kernel of the
wheat causing it to change into a
smut ball which is filed with black,
ill-smelling mass of spores or black
powder. Wheat that is affected with
any appreciate amount of smut has
such a bad odor that it is rendered
unfit for the making of flour and mill
ers will not buy it.
When the smut balls are run
through threshing machine they are
broken up and the fine powder is scat
tered all through the machine and in
this way the disease is spread from
one field to another, for whenever a
grain of the powder or a spore lights
on a grain of good wheat and it is
sown, then the plant resulting from
the kernel produces smut instead OF
good grain.

On Keeping Cool in Summer


The workings of peoples minds IN
hot weather are a most interesting
study though the evidences of the
same are often an awful bore. There
is much human nature wrapped up in
the reactions of folks to hot weather.
Hardly a day passes that most of US
do not mention the weather several
times. What we say and how we say
it reveals many things. But it is not
this that we really wish to discuss at
this time. We wish to mention a few
things which actually make for COM
fort or discomfort in hot weather.
Most of the discomfort of hot
weather is preventable if those who
are uncomfortable really wish to be
comfortable. Many of them don't
really want to be comfortable, at
least they would rather do the things
that make them comfortable for
few minutes and uncomfortable the
remainder of the time than to be a
little farther sighted and less a slave
to their appetites. There is no use
for such to read the following para
graph.
What things are really cooling?
Here is general answer and the per-
son so desiring can draw his own con-
illusions. Acids are cooling and
sweets are heating. Acids are largely
obtained from fruits. Sugars are a
rich fuel and their chief value is to
heat the body. Think over your me-
thods Of attempting to keep cool in
summer at the refreshment counter
and see whether you have a right to
bore other folks with complaints of
the heat.-Public. Service.
Burnhardt Engle in Music Recital
at the Hays Normal
Burnhardt Engle of Ellis, is a little
boy but he appeared in the Music Re
citaI of the Fort Hays Kansas Normal
School last Friday night. He played
three violin solos, MELODY in G" by
Kelley, Little Waltz" by Helm, and
"Slumber Song"
! Burnhardt received the most en-
thusiastic applause of any number on
, the program. Henry Edward Malloy,
j head of the Department of Music,
says, sThe performance of Burnhardt
proves my contention that the musical
education of children can and should
proceed along with the grade school
and high school students" Children
never become musicians unless they
begin early.

These pictures were captured on
board the German submarine and
their genuineness is attested by the
nature of the pictures. All pictures
were taken after the fighting had
ceased and the ships had surrendered
Only at that time was it safe to take
the pictures. The U-boat commander
procured the pictures for the purpose
of proving to his chief, the Kaiser,
that he and the U-35 had done their
duty.

For One Day Only
On His Regular Monthly Visits

HOURS: a. m. to p. m.
The successful treatment of dis
ease does not depend entirely upon
the skill of any physician, however
great. Too many people want to ac-
quira health without making any
sacrifice to obtain it.
Getting well depends upon the
earnest conscientious effort on the
part of the patient. Many people
take treatment as diversion, and are
willing to make no more effort or
sacrifice than they would to go to a
theater.
Health is the most serious object
! in life. Not alone in the obligation
that involves each individual person
ally, but every man, woman and child
is obligated to the community in
which he lives and to posterity.

EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES
Enemies of Wheat

The season of 1920 seems to have
been exceptionally well suited for
enemies of wheat to flourish. From
personal observations there are many
localities especially in the west-cen-
trail part Of Kansas that have consid-
cradle Hessian Fly which will pract-
ically ruin wheat production unless a
united community fight is waged
against them. Other sections are
heavily damaged with Sinking Smut
of wheat. One field was discovered
to be damaged about 1870 and many
others were damaged from $50 to
1870. This smut can be prevented by
seed treatment of formalin and all
seed should be treated this year if
even a trace of smut was present this
season.

Grasshoppers

According to reports it seems that
the hoppers did not do very much
damage to the wheat before harvest
this year, as they did last year. Prob
ably this is due not so much to de-
crease in numbers as to the fact that
the hoppers were later in Matching.
The hoppers threaten the corn, alfaI-
ia and fall-sown wheat and unless
they are destroyed before the first of
September many of them will have
laid their eggs and a crop of hoppers
for next spring will be assured.
