would have been shut down. when
flames burst out from every part of

NEW TREATMENT
USED FOR SMUT

Finely powdered copper carbonate
busted on seed wheat at the rate of
four ounces per bushel is a new
treatment for smut which in recent
trials promises better results than
the regular bluestone and formalde-
hyde treatment. The tests have been
made by George L. Zundell, extern
sion plant pathologist, in co-opera-
tion with the county agent of Frank
lin county.
In the tests from which results
now are available, the seed treated
with powdered copper carbonate pro-
duced "a per cent good wheat. The
sulphur treatment gave II per cent
good wheat, and the formaldehyde
sc per cent.
In another field, seed treated with
copper carbonate produced 81 per
cent good wheat and the bluestone
treatment gave "A per cent.

BUY YOUR COAL NOW
is ADVICE OF RAILROAD MAN

The memory of the Pullman public
should be logged so householders
will put in their winters supply of
coal, is the declaration of H, f.
Lounsbury, general freight agent for
the On-Washington Railroad &
Navigation company He says that,
with every facility now available to
serve consumers, postponement is the
rule and later on, when cars are busy
with grain crops, no doubt there will
be a big demand for coal, when it
will be impossible to obtain it.
THE movement of coal into Port
land and the surrounding territory
from the Wyoming and Utah mines, -
said Mr.. Lounsbury, ''is considerably
below what it was at this time last
year, The present condition indi-
Gates consumers are not stocking up
for the winter.
Now is the time when the mines
can supply and cars are available for
hauling. Indeed this is the time coal
should be moved from the mines to
the market, otherwise, there is like
lihood of a congestion of orders and
shortage at the time of possible Sc
we're weather.
There is no prospect of any re-
auctions of freight rates on coal for
this seasons production"
