NEW TREATMENT
REDUCES COST
Experiments Show Good Results with
Half Former Expense.

With grain rapidly developing to
ward the time of harvest, most farm
ers are specializing upon the amount
of smut in their fields Much expert
mental work has been done to elimi-
nate this fungus, and many trea.-
ments have been used and recon-
mended, but none have given complete
results.
A new treatment has been tried on.
fol the first time IN this state by Geo.
l.. Zundel, extension division special
list of the State College of Washing
ton, in cooperation with the county
agent of Franklin county, and indica-
tions are that it will become the best
one. This method consists of using
finely powdered copper carbonate and
du ting it on the seed wheat at the
rate of four ounces per bushel This
takes the place of bluestone or for
maldehyde and will co less than half
for the material, with less the labor.
Where actual demonstrations have
been conducted in Franklin county. in
one field where very badly smutted
wheat was used, the seed treate |
with copper carbonate produced S4tt
good wheat. while treated with dr.
sulphur the wheat Yield was TN
good, and using formaldehyde onlv
66%. In another field seed treated
with copper carbonate produced 92es
clean wheat while with bluestono
there was only 7tot. In most cases
the dry copper carbonate powder
treatment gave as good or better
control of smut than either Tornado
hyde or bluestone. There is no seed
injury to the seed treated with drv
copper carbonate.
The method is new, having been dis
covered in 1919 by DR.. Dainell Smith
of New South Wales, Australia. and
used last year in California, where it
gave excellent results in smut con-
troll.

SEATTLE MARKETS.

A novel condition prevailed in the

been made. Buyers who expected to
close contracts for peaches without
difficulty at 65c per crate f. o. b.
Eastern Washington shipping points
have been unable to get offers and it
is reported from the orchards that
growers are steadily refusing 75c per

There is an active demand for sum
mer apples due to the fruit moving
east in car lots.
Firmness characterized the butter
market, a majority of houses being
short of cream and fresh butter The

that cause. High quotation for but

defendant. On May II, 1921, "A fed
eral jury sitting at Portland, brought
in a verdict of guilty against Dole
for maliciously setting fire within
the Siuslaw National Forest on May
Is 1920 According to statements Of
forest officers, Dole had long been
suspected of setting forest fires and
efforts had been made year after year
to secure evidence against him but
without success.
From the statement of witnesses.
Dole's method of work was original
and only an unusual combination of
circumstances brought about his con-
viction. 1t seems that by long prac-
tice he coul flip a burning match into
brush along road or trail, even from
horseback. Forest officers say that
he tried this once too often, for on
May rs, 1916, as brought out in the
evidence, one of the witnesses was
that day trying out a new telescope
by casually watching through the
glass occasional passers-by on a road
some few hundred yards distant, and
strike matches and flip them while
still burning into the dry ferns and
brush along the roadside
