0AT SEEDING
NOW UNDER Way
Some Fields on High and dry
Land Have Already
Been Seeded by
Farmers.
INCREASE ACREAGE
A Simple Method of Com
batting Dat Smut is
Given.

Seeding the oat crop has been be.
gun in Hamilton county. Some fields
on high ground, where the soil is dry,
have been seeded and many other
fields, which have been dried out,
now are being disked and being made
ready for the seed. The soil is dry
enough on most of the high ground for
oats seeding. Under normal condi-
ti6ns it is safe to plant oats any time
after March u. There will be a
slight increase, in oats acreage this
year over that of 1920, and a like de
crease in the acreage of corn, accord
ing to reports.
Numerous farmers throughout the
county have expressed an intention of
slightly increasing their oats acreage
and an increased interest in the crop
is shown in the numerous inquiries re-
ceived at the office OF the county agent
regarding means employed in fighting
oats smut.
Methods OF Combating Smut.
The new method Of combating smut
has been found more satisfactory than
the old methods. A solution of one
pint Of fOrmaldehyde to 10 gallons of
water, used at the rate of only one
quart per bushel of grain, will entirely
kill the smut without injuring the
oats. Since the use of so small an am
cunt does not necessitate drying, the
oats may be sacked at once and at the
end of about II hours will run through
the drill as readily as untreated seed.
The farm crops section at Ames
gives the following directions for
treatment for smut:
First. make solution using one
pint of 40 per cent formaldehyde and
10 gallons of water.
Second, sprinkle the 10 gallons Of
solution over 40 bushels Of oats,
meanwhile shoveling so that the solu-
ton is uniformly distributed.
Third, sack as soon as the solution
