CIRCULAR TELLS TREATING METHOD
 FUR WHEAT SMUT

Some inquiries have been received at the chamber of commerce relative to the amounts of formaldehyde to be used in treating seed wheat for smut. Circular No. 24, entitled Wheat Plant ing and Feed Supply" published by the University of Arizona College of Agri- culture, says:
 All seed wheat should be treated for smut since smut is a source of serious loss fin some Arizona fields. One of the following methods should be used .
 "Dippings-Take two half barrels or tubs with holds and plugs near the bot tom. Place one tub on two saw horses and fill two-thirds full with solution of formaldehyde, which is made by mixing one pint or one pound of for maIin (guaranteed 40 per cent solution of formaldehyde) with 40 gallons of water. Pour slowly into this solution onehalf to one bushel of wheat seed. stirring thoroughly for five to ten min utes so that the smut balls and trash vii reach the surface. Skim this ma terial off. then drain the solution into the second tub. Pour the seed into a pile on the floor. Exchange position of tubs and repeat the operation until all wheat has been treated Sow at once or spread the seed out to dry.
 rinkling-Remove smut balls and trash from the seed by thoroughly flaming. Spread the seed out on the floor or wagon bed in a layer four to six inches deep. Sprinkle the solution of formaldehyde on the seed, using a watering can. Shovel the seed over thoroughly so that all the seed is moistened then shovel the seed into a pile and cover with sacks from two to four hours. Sow at once or spread the seed out to dry
 One gallon of solution is sufficient to treat one hushel of grain by either method. Do not put treated seed on a smutted floor or in smutted sacks, nor SOW with a smutted drill Smutted sacks should be soaked in a solution of formaldehyde. One pint to ten gall Ions water for 30 minutes. Bins. floors and drills may be scrubbed with this strong solution

THE SQUAW MAN AT ELKS TKEATER|S
 INTERESTING PLAY

Before two capacity houses at the Elks theater yesterday afternoon and last night the Brandon Stock company presented "The Squaw Man." one of the most interesting productions given by that company this season. Far different from any of the pre- vious plays, as it presents the many men favorites of the company in chaps" and other paraphernalia of the wild and woody Texans of early days in the Panhandle, 1t proved an agreeable variation.
 The Squaw Man. is a play requir- ing cast of far more than ordinary ability. and the roles were we'll han dled by the members of the Brandon Stock company. It is really two plays for the prologue has a setting on Bos- ton, with high society surroundings, to be suddenly transferred to Texas and Indians and cowboys, with an oe- casional bad man to liven things up.
 The story of the play is of John Rosleigh, who to protect the wife of a ne'er do well cousin, assumes the guilt of an embezzlement and disappears. In the Panhandle of Texas he is known as Jack Dallam, with an Indian wife and son. The time comes when the cousin uleS ana ne IS Iree to return to the cast to assume his rightful place in society, but he declines to desert his squaw wife who has saved his life in other days and has shown her love for him.
 Ray Brandon. as the squaw man. takes the leading role in an excellent manner; Marie Rich plays the part of the Indian wife, while Marjorie liar ris, clever Tempe girl, is the small son. James Hughes. as the foreman of Dallam's ranch, is breezy and amusing, as is Eddie Young as the proprietor of "The Ranchman's Rest" Lee Bran don, as the sheriff, assists in the com edy. George Banta, as an Eastern so- ciety tenderfoot and later as cowboy on Dallams ranch, plays the roles in his usual capable manner. L. Victor Gillard. a new member of the company is acceptable as the lawyer friend. The other women of the company. Mary Fladeland, Rose Pomeroy and Irene Noblett, are well cast.
 The chorus appear in several attrac- tive numbers, with new costumes, while Mary Rich, Mary Fladeland, Irene Noblett, George Banta, Eddie
