SEED TREATMENT FOR STINK
ING SMUT (BUNT) IN WHEAT

ING SMUT (BUNT) IN WHEAT
Soaking method: Run the seed
thru a good tanning mill before treat
ment. This will remove many of the
shiveled and light weight kernels,
spore balls, many Of the free smut
spores, and dirt. Make up q solution
consisting Of 1 pint Formalin to 81
gallons of water. Put the seed in
loosely filled burlap sacks, dip into the
solution and soak for five minutes
Drain on Stats owe the barrels OF
tanks to prevent wasting the solution,
| Place the seed on a clean floor or can
vas, and cover with sacks or canvas
for two hours. Dry by spreading in
a thin layer and stirring occasionally
with a rake or shovel. If the seed Is
sown when swollen, open the drill to
effect this. Disinfect the drill with
a one to 10 solution Of Formalin. II
S recommended that Formalin in seal.
ed bottles be purchased.
SPRINKLING METHOD
This method is not as effective as
the soaking method and is not to b(
recommended when the soaking meth.
I'd can be used. Where the wheat is
only slightly affected and it is rur
thru a tanning mill with n rood all
blast to remove the spore balls this
method may be successfully used.
Sprinkle OF the seed a solution Of
one pint of formalin to 35 gallons Of
water, using about one gallon to. thu
bushels, shove'ing over at the sam,
time to make sure of uniform wetting
Cover in a pile with bags or canvas
and handle as in the soaking method
The effectiveness of this treatment de

each seed. If the seed Is swollen
open the drill to offset this. Dis'n

BooTLEGGERS PUT UP IS
FOR DRY OFFICERS PHOTO

A new and fairly lucrative business
is coming into being along the eastern
shore in connection with the bootleg
gers activities, according to a state
ment by Assistant National Prohibit
ton Commissioner Jones. 1t is the
selling of photographs of Prohibition
agents to saloonkeepers who violate
both the spirit and the letter of the
Prohibition law. New Jersey saloon
keepers, according to Mr.. Jones, are
glad to pay five dollars apiece for au-
thentic photographs and are anxious
to have complete collection of gov
eminent agents who operate in their
territory.
Mr.. Jones also has found that expert
counterfeiters are turning from manu-
facture of spurious currency to that
of removal permits and whisky bottle
labels and they are finding it vosa-
ton simpler of accomplishment, just
as profitable, but not nearly so dan
gerous as countcrfeiting money"

MAJOR HAYNES BUDGET

Appropriation Asked Practically

SUM COVERS ALL NEEDS

for Including Expansion of
Dry Navy
SUM COVERS ALL NEEDS

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
will seek an appropriation of So, 1851 900
for the enforcement of the federal dry
laws during the next fiscal year, 1924
according to a statement carried by
the Associated Press under a Wash
ington date line OF September o.
Estimates prepared for the budget
bureau, Prohibition officials said, car
ried this amount, which is approx
mately the same sum authorized by
Congress for the current fiscal year
Mr.. Haynes was declared to take the
view that while a larger sum could be
utilized in suppressing the liquor traffic
the equivalent of the amount now be-
ing expended would enable the Prohi-
bition unit to carry OH all the activi-
ties now in force, including the dry
navy which is to be expanded to en-
able federal agents to take advantage
of the provisions OF the tariff act OF
1922 permitting search of vessels with

An Associated Press dispatch carry

18th, announces that Americans are
taking an active part i'll the movement
to put Germany in the column OF dry
nations. Recent meetings held in
various parts of the country presented
speakers from Connecticut and Mime
sofa who described the progress of
the Prohibition movement i'll the
United States. These gatherings have
revealed a surprising amount of
sentiment among the people in favor
of abolishing alcohol, according to a
statement by DR.. Reinhard Strecker
of Darmstadt, President of the Com
mittee conducting the campaign and
former Hessian Minister of Education.
DR.. Strecker expressed special surprise
and pleasure at the moderation and
abstinence now being shown by the
young men. THE best section OF Ger
man youths are against alcohol, the
Doctor said, "and these no longer
drink"
He added:
Particular significance may be at
tached to this restraint on the part of
German youths since it comes entirely
on their own initiative. Neither the
church nor the school up to this time
have taken the alcoholic question
seriously"
He declared that need is the stern
teacher WHICH is gradually but in
evtably educating the Germans up to
Prohibition. In view OF the prevailing
high price of necessities, they are be-
coming more and more FESTIVE at see

the interest OF the Wright State dry
act at the Palace Hotel on August 80,
with an overflow meeting at the Hotel
ST. Francis, which was attended by
more than 500 prominent women of
San Francisco and the Bay region.
The Journal says this is declared by
leaders in public life to have been the

ment BILL which bill was passed by
the Legislature, held up by refer
endum, and now is to be voted on at
the general election in November.
Kathleen Norris, famous author
and San Franciscan OF three genera
tons, made an appeal to her audience
which will long linger i'll their hearts,
says the Journal. Mrs. Norris said:
Light wines and beers have moth
ing to do with Prohibition. That

Mrs. Norris told of her years of ex-

General Counsel Wheeler OF the Anti

while these statutes were enforced
for revenue purposes there was not
much objection to them. but since the
advent Of National Prohibition some
nations are questioning the right OF
the United States to enact such laws
The right of a nation to protect it

and not from the consent of other
nations.
practically every nation has
enacted laws against rum smuggling

year extended it to ten miles.
Senator Sterling prepared ali
amendment to section 58l of the tariff
bill to make this right of the United
States to seize these rum pirate YES

PROHIBITION WORKS
WONDERS IN MISS.

Governor Lee M. Russell of Missis-
sippi in statement under date of
August Is declares that Prohibition in
his state has reduced crime more than
one half, with court costs and ex-
penses in the same proportion. He
says that men and women addicted to
strong drink who were once paupers,
a short time after Prohibition became
effective became self-supporting. He
adds that the good results of Prohibi-
ton are so marvellous that even the
men and women who take drink now
and then always vote the Prohibition
ticket because of the good it has done.
Governor Russell points with pride to
the fact that Mississippi was among
the first states of the Union to declare
Tor nationwide Prohibition and was
the first state to ratify the National
Prohibition Amendment.

KEYSTONE COURT HOLDS
ALCORUB TO BE BEVERAGE

Judge E. Fl. Reppert of the Fayette
County (Pa.) court and a jury have
decided that alcorub obtainable with
out a prescription in almost every
drugstore in the United States, is a
beverage. Whether it is beverage
or remedy for external use only will
probably be decided by the higher
courts.
The decision in the Fayette County
court came with the conviction of an
Uniontown, Pa, druggist. The drug
gist admitted the sale of alcorub, but
declared the label on the bottle
warned against its use as beverage.
Judge Reppert told the jury it must
decide whether the defendant sold
offered for sale, furnished, or possessed
for beverage purposes, liquor contain
ing more than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol. Counsel for the Com
monwealtll pointed out that the labels
indicated 70 per cent alcoholic content
and no poisonous ingredients. II
further guaranteed to cause violent
gaseous action of the stomach. This
counsel argued, produced the same
effect as liquor in the olden days. The
defense held alcorub was unfit for
beverage purposes.
The court ruled that the unitness
of the compound was not material tc
the case. Several drinkers testified
that few drinks of alcorub would
produce intoxication.
