prepared by the United States Depart.

The spread of onion smut into the
large northern onion sections and its
increasing prevalence each year have
emphasized the Importance of a prac-
teal means of control for this disease.
After careful experimentation, special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture recommend a solution of
formaldehyde In the furrow with the
seed.
Onion smut is caused by fungous
parasite which lives in the soil and
when once introduced, spreads slowly
to adjoining areas. In the spring, at
the time when the onion seeds are
terminating, the smut spores, or seed
bodies, also terminate and infect the
young seedlings, causing brown to
black elongated casters within the
scales or leaves, which often split
open, exposing the powdery black
masses Of spores. Affected leaves
usually are slightly thickened and
often curve downward. Many of the
young seedlings are so heavily at
tackled that they die within three to
five weeks after termination. Others
may survive until harvest time and
reach the warehouse or market
Controlled by Formaldehyde.
A peculiar and important fact about
onion smut Is that the onion plant can
be attacked by fungus only while in
the young Seeding stage. After the
plants are about three inches high
they become immune to infection by
the smut fungus, and onion sets or
seedlings three to four inches high

"But to consider the matter in such
a narrow light creates wholly wrong
impression. 1t makes no account of
the assets with which Great Britain,
France, Japan, and other allies find
themselves endowed as a result Of the
England's liabilities, taken alone, are
heavy, but when set off against her
acquisitions they pale into insignific-
ance. According to one of her own
statisticians she came into possess
ion of almost million and half
square miles of territory, about half
the area of continental United States.
Most of that territory is situated in
Africa, and is of immense potential
wealth. Its resources are almostt
wholly undeveloped, although it is
reported that many millions Of dol
lars worth of diamonds have already
been taken from the soil by British
miners. 1t is certain that the years
inthe immediate future will see
miraculous change in the former Ger
man African territory, accompanied
by an unending flow of gold into the
African territory and into the poe
kets Of her citizens who invest their
capital in African enterprises.
at has been conservatively estimat-
ed that the national wealth of Great
Britain has been increased by $780,
000,000000 as a result Of her man
dates and other miscellaneous acquis-
itions. 1t is true she cannot realize
present cash on those holdings. 1t
may 5e said that she is land poor.
But it is equally true that the Unit
ed States is making no demand for
immediate payment of the British
obligations. There will be no oppos-
ition to extending them over a period
of years, making it possible for Great
Britain to extract their total many
fold from her new possessions. So
it is a fair presentation of the case
to say that against England's debt to I
this country she holds new assets
twenty times in excess thereof.
"That is the point that should be
stressed in any discussion of the al
lied debts. It applies Also to the other
countries which owe the United States
money. Their receipts in reparations
and territory were smaller than those
Of England, but their obligations, al
so, are smaller. For months to come
much will be heard Of the wellnight
insuperable financial burden under
which Great Britain is laboring, but
little will be said Of her enormous in
crease Of national wealth. Let the
whole truth be told, that the people
may judge for themselves Of the right
eousness Of our insistence on payment
of the allied debts"

Onion Smut Can Pc Controlled by APP
plication of Solution Of Formade-
hyde In the Furrow With the Seed.
transplanted to smut-infested soil will
not contract the disease. In the large
commercial onion districts of the
Northern states, where the use of sets
or seedlings Is impractical, advantage
is taken Of the fact that onion smut
can be controlled by the application Of
a solution of formaldehyde in the fur
row with the seed. Since the young
onion seeding is susceptible TO the
disease for only a short time, it is nee
essary to use only enough of the dis
infectant to keep the fungus in check
in the soil close to the seed. The APP
paratus for applying the formaldehyde
solution consists of a galvanized iron
tank which is attached to the onion
seeder. Such an attachment Is Illus
trated and described in detail in Uni
ted States department of agriculture
Farmers Bulletin 1000, which will be
semitic any applicant upon request.
Care Necessary IN Applying.
Great care should be used in apply
ing this treatment, since too strong a
solution will prevent the onion seed
from terminating, while too weak a
solution will not hold the fungus in
check Repeated recent experiments
conducted by the department Of agri-
culture in the Racine (Wis.) district
have shown that 200 gallons per acre
will give the most satisfactory results
and that there is no advantage in this
case in using a stronger solution than
1 :128 Zone pint of formaldehyde to six
teen gallons of water). WhereNthere
is serious objection to using this
amount of liquid, because Of difficulty
of application, the quantity may be
reduced to 120 to $50 gallons, but in
this case a stronger solution should be
used (two pints of formaldehyde to
sixteen gallons of water). Raising the
strength of the solution beyond this
point entails danger of reduction of
the stand, due to Seeding injury.
In sowing onion seed for onion SETS
as they are grown in the Wisconsin,
Illinois and Indiana sections by the
single-row method, about twenty times
as much seed is used per row as in
the case of large bulb production. This
fact does not necessarily alter the
quantity of formaldehyde solution to
be applied, since the same amount Of
soil surrounding the seed is to be dis
infected in either case. Results Sc
cured with the use Of the above for
mula by onion-set growers indicate it
to be the proper one for use with this
crop. With the multiple-row system,
In use in certain onion districts, DIFF
eerent formula will be necessary.

INQUIRE REFUSES PAY
 FOR WAR WORK

United States Commissioner Frank L. Mcclure of New London is a unique fig ure in the position he occupies, for he is one of the few officials of the government who absolutely declines to accept pay for services performed during the period of war
 During the period of the war. or rather from 1916 until 1920. the office of the conmiss; ;oner at New London was a busy placa and the commissioner had oppor- tunities to earn 9 considerable amount in the performance of his official dut:es but his duties he considered a war work and h. decided to ask the government for the payment of no fees in connection there with So as best to accomplish this end, the commissioner decided to file no claim against the government, and accordingly made no report of, matters in which Uncle Sam had an interest and should have paid for this interest.
 The red tape Of governmental offices turns slowly, but t most surely does
 turn, and in the checking up system it was discovered the commissioner at New London had failed to report certain cred it's that should have been allowed him, in fact had failed to make claim against the government for fees.
 This was called to his attention and he
