TREAT OATS NOW TO
-
PREVENT SMUT
Idaho Plant Pathologist Develops
New Method.

Many farmers fail to treat their
spring grain before planting because
they wait until it is time to begin
seeding and then think that they dc
not have time. If the sprinkle or the
dip methods are used the grain must
be planted at once or thoroughly
dried, otherwise much injury may re-
suit. AS the average farmer does not
have facilities for drying after treat
ment it is not advisable to use either
Of these methods unless the grain is
planted within a few hours. To do
away with the necessity of drying the
grain after treatment, the dry
method" or concentrated formalde-
hyde method" has recently become
very popular for the treatment of
oats. A modification of this method
has been carefully tested for the last
two years by G. W. Hungerford, plant
pathologist of the Idaho Experiment
Station, and has been found very sue
rcessful. This method was also tried
by several farmers last year and gave
perfect control in every case.
In using this method one part of
formaldehyde is added to ten parts of
water and applied to the oats by
means of common quart sprayer.
Spread the grain out on clean floor,
canvas or vyo eo,, hov q tbo cyro;,, Sc
shoveled from one pile to another,
each shovelful is sprayed with the
sprayer held close to the grain. Use
the solution in the proportion of one
quart of the solution to five bushels
of grain. Cover the grain with sacks
or canvas which have been sprayed
thoroughly and leave covered for four
hours. BY using this small amount of
the solution the seed is not wet, does
not swell, and may be treated any
time before planting.
This method should not be used for
other grains. 1t has been found to
be successful only in controlling oats
smut. some growers nave the mis-
taken idea that oats do not need TO be
treated. In 1920 there were 100000 |
acres Of oats grown in Idaho which |
yielded an average of 40 bushels per |
acre or a total of 100000 bushels. |
Dat smut caused an average loss of |
over 2.5 per cent or over 100000 |
bushels which is sold at an average
price of 80 cents per bushel makes
total loss of over $4,000. For
for treating all of the
oats seeded in Idaho last year if applied
by the method above would have cost
only $4,1S0 The only method of in
surance against this loss is to treat
all seed before planting.

MANY REQUESTS
 FOR GERMAN GUNS

Washington, April 9--Beseiged by requests by municipalities in their districts for some guns captured by the Americans from the Germans and Austrians, members of congress who have arrived in Washington for the special session beginning Mon- day are wondering how they can get the surrendered war material out of the warehouses at Port Newark ter minaI New Jersey where it has been stored since arriving in the United States
 Thousands of field and machine guns, howitzers, trench mortars and rifles and nearly million smaller articles, ranging from ornamented helmets to Uh1an Iances, were brought back from Europe by the victorious 'tYanks,' but their distri- button as relics has been delayed by a deadlock in congress as to the method of assigning them to locali- ties.
 Legislation is needed before the material can be released. In the last congress the senate passed d bill providing for distrib ution of the cap tured pieces to states, according to the number of troops furnished dur ing the war. This plan had the war department approval but the House objected and amended the bill to provide for distribution through sen- ators and representatives The two houses never got together on this point and the bill died.

Activities To
 Be Discussed
 From All Angles

Cleveland. April S-Every angle of the present day activities in American politics, of political bosses and po- Htical machines will come up for ac- tion before the second annual con- vention of the League of Women Voters which opens here Monday. This became. apparent when the eX- ecWtive board which is rounding out the final details of the convention schedule announced the program for the study of election methods. The board had before 1t today a report on policy submitted recently by Rather inc Ludington of Hartford, Conn. In this report the national league is of fered a choice between two policies.
 One is to develop a well informed woman electorate in America to reach all women, teach them how to vote and to whom to vote for.
 The other is to put through as rap idly as possible a program of iegisla- ton considered beneficial to the wom- en of the nation at large.

COMPETITION RULES ..
 FOR NEAT RTDERS

Candidates for the s10O prize in the Neat Riders Competition should bear in mind to send in description of their costume, including materials and cost, as well as a photograph.
 Pictures tell nothing as to color, materials or price.
 Not that the price will be the de- termining factor. A reasonably priced riding costume, all other things being equal, will win over a high priced salt
 The object of the contest is to pick out a riding costume within the means of the average rider.
 Posing before a camera in stu dio. clad in garments suitable for church or an informal evening gath erins, will be effort wasted.
 Also. sending in photograph showing the rider without a coat This doesn't qualify under the de- scription of riding costume
 Materials that do not show dust and that can be readily brushed off that a rider may present neat appearance after a trip over ordi- nary roads will have the preference in making the decision. Materials dyed black are obviously out of the question

URGE MATERIALS
 BE SHIPPED EARLY

The Traffic Executive Committee of the American Railway Association is urging a ship early-ship now'' cam paign. with the purpose of persuad- ing shippers to take advantage of the present surplus in transportation fla in five years This surplus of trans portation facilities has been brought about by two factors: By the com bined cooperative effort of the rail in increasing the average load per car, and by the decrease of shipments through curtailment of industry.
 How long this surplus of transport ation will exist cannot be foretold but it is a matter of experience that the volume of transportation business is a series of peak loads and valleys of depression. By shipping now, during the present valley of depression, pos sible delays will be avoided at the time of the peak load which many believe is sure to follow when nat urally there will be active demand for cars.
 MT. R H. Aishton, president of the American Railway Association, speak ing of the desiraibility of shipping now such materials as possible, said
 "There is now a great housing shortage, both for business and homes. Is it not fair to assume that one of the first upward moves will be in building construction Clearly if every activity in this direction were to start May 1 there would be a. tre- mendous load the railroads and inability to meet this sudden load would be unfortunate and affect the public interest in narS directions. Can We not anticipate that this may occur and would it not be wise to commence transporting, and if neceS- sary storing even at the cost of re- handling, some of the many materials entering into projects already deter mined on. in order that there may be no delay due to transportation?
 "We may definitely assume a large program of highway building and inn provement will be started. Ship Early would insure an absence of transportation difficulties, such as oc- cured last winter.
 Why not Ship Early the thou ands of carloads of fertilizer in the winter instead of in the spring when they are required on the farms, and void the uncertainties of delays due to an overburdened transportation machine?
 Why not Ship Early such mate rials as are required for the main tenance programs of railroads, instead of adding this burden to the heavy load later on?
 Might we not profita.bly have con- fidence in the future. and having that confidence in this time of depression put the transportation facilities to the utmost possible use in providing agains the day of Opportunity

Birds Return
 To Old Nests

Urbana, ILL, April 9-Though many brids from this section migrate as far south as Central and South America, it has been found by actual test that many of them return to the same localities and sometimes even to the same nest.
 Results of inquiry in the Middle West and South covering a number of years are reported by Frank Smith, professor of zoology at the University of Illinois in the annual Illinois Ar Dor Day and Bird Book.
 Facts were obtained by trapping birds, placing small leg bands on them, and letting them so- Here are records:
 A catbird banded near Cleveland, O.. in 1914, was retaken in the same locality the following year. Two catbirds banded in 1916 were retaken in 1917, and one of them was again taken in 1919. Catbirds winter as far south as Panama
 A chimney swift banded in 1916 was retaken in the same chimney the following year. Chimney swifts winter wholly south of the United States.
 A tiny house wren banded in 1915 was retaken in 1916 and found to be using the same nest box that it had occupied the preceding year, in rear House wrens winter in the south At lantic and gulf states.
 Tests at Thomasvi11e, Ga, with birds classed as winter residents" states and into Canada during the summer months showed these results:
 Eight chipping sparrows banded in 1916 were all retakeu in 1917. Three chipping Sparrows were retaken in 1917 that had been banded in 1915. Several myrtle warblers and white throated sparrows banded in 1916 were retaken the following year.

LOCAL STUDENT WRITES COLLEGE
 "STUNT" SONG

Miss Helen L. Shelton, daughter of Mrs. c. K Shelton of 654 Laurel Avenue, has written the music for the original stunt song. which the junior class at Mount Holyoke college gave at the competitive sing in the Chapin auditorium last evening.
 The competitive sing is an annual event at Mount Holyoke and an inn portant factor in raising the standard of singing among the classes. Besides the stunt song, each class will sing this year 'Who is Sylvia?' by Schu- bert and Song of the Volga Boat men, a Russian folksong arranged by Josephine Preston Peabody. A baton, presented by the class of 1915, is awarded to the winning class. Each is allowed six practice sings, with an extra one for the freshman as they have not had so much opportunity in singing together.
