LOSSES BY SMUT
CAN BE PREVENTED

SHUTS of grain crops caused an esti--
mated loss in Minnesota in 1919 Of APP
proximately four million dollars In
some years the losses are much greater.
The fOrmaldehyde. method Of seed
treatment says r. c. Rose. plant eX-
tensionist at University Farm. will
prevent a large part of this loss. All
seed grain. he adds should be treated
with fOrmaldehyde since it is not al
ways possible to tell whether it is
smutted. One Of the worst of these
smutS is bunt or shrinking smut Of
wheat The SHUTS Of oats and covered
smut OF barley are also destructive.
FO1rnaldehyde may be used in sew
eral ways. The commonest method of
Treatment: is to mix one pint of form
aldehyde with 40 gallons of water stir
thoroughly and then sprinkle the seed
grain. An ordinary sprinkling can may
be used. While one man sprinkles
slowly over the grain another shovels
the grain over SO it will be moistened
thoroughly. If it is more Convenient.
the grain can be placed in sacks and
dipped in the solution.
A quick method is sometimes used
for oats. One pint Of formaldehyde is
mixed with Zone pint of water and is
sprayed with compressed air sprayer
on so bushels of oats If less oats is
treated a smaller amount Of the solu-
ton should be used. After the grain
is thoroughly sprayed it should be COW
cred for four hours and then sown.
The formaldehyder treatment does
not eliminate loose smut of wheat and
loose smut Of barley. For details of
this treatment write to the Plant Dis

Hammond Sees Peril to
L. S. As Creditor Nation

NEW YORK. Feb. IA. - "As a
great creditor nation. we are faced
with the danger of being impaled on
one of the two horns of the dilemma
in the liquidation Of Europe's in
debtedness to US" declared John
Hays HAMMOND, who is spoken Of
as a cabinet possibility, in an address
on The Business and Industrial
Outlook" before the National. Civic
federation here Monday.
Europe cannot. pay even the in
terest upon our. loans in gold, nor
would the payment in gold be alto
gether TO our advantage. If we ac-
cept the products of Europe in pay
ment, we must greatly Curtail the
operation Of our own mills involv-
ing widespread unemployment and
consequent industrial distress. 1t
would be even better for US to can
this danger. on the other hand. if
we place an embargo on the
products of our allies. they will not
be able TO repay their loans.
Wise craftsmanship viii not
erect an impenetrable tariff which,
while providing for the admission
OF these products of Europe having
stabilizing influence ON our own
commodity price levels, will. at the
same time avoid danger of irrepar-
able damage TO our own incompar
able home market, a market which
absorbs 80 per cent Of the products

That South Bend is keeping pace

is there any reason for the box
Ing public 10 believe that the big
Kansan is still capable Of putting
up a good fight?
Here are questions boxing fans
have been arguing pro and con
since Tex Richard announced his
plan 20 bring willard back.
The former champion has de-
clared that he wants a chance TO
make an honest try for a comeback.
not because Of the money there will
be IN II for him. but because he
believes he can regain the world 3
championship. But is there a good
fight left in Willard today?
Out Two Years.
Jess has been out OF the ring
close onto two years. He is no
longer a youngster. He was we'll
past the 30 year mile tone when he
whipped Jack Johnson. What OF
him now? It's a riddle the boxing
public would like 10 see solved. II
Willard is really in earnest about
winning back the title. he should
have at least one good fight under
his belt between now and next labor
day. the date Richard has set for
his match with the victor OF the
Dempsey Carpenter clash.
willard should take on one or
more big rugged heavyweights and
prove TO his own satisfaction and
the satisfaction OF the public that
he is still a battler entitled to meet
Dempsey or Carpenter for the
worlds title. He should be more
than willing 10 do that much and
he need not look far for opponents.
Ideal Opponent.
Fred Fulton would make an ideal
opponent for willard. SO would
Harry Wills, who licked Fulton,
though there is no great public de-
nand for Wills against white heavy
weights. Fulton and Willard COM
pare very favorably. Willard lost
to Dempsey in three rounds: Fulton
in one round. But today Fulton is
a better scrapper than he was when
he met Dempsey at Newark. More,
he is an active fighter and has been
keeping as busy as can be. Fulton
indeed does look like the logical
trial horse for Willard.
