Use Of Formalin to Prevent Smut in
Oats and Wheat.

Smut Is the most widespread anc
destructive disease of small grain ano
it occurs wherever oats and whea,
are grown. When proper control
measures are not practiced, it fire.
auently causes serious loss. Fortu-
nately, it is not hard to prevent this
disease. Before sowing oats OF
wheat, farmers should treat the seed
with a formalin solution to prevent
smut.
Smut is caused by paratitic
growth that lives in the tissues of
the plant. The disease spreads by
spores (very small, seed like bodies)
which cling to the hulls or lodge In
the creases of individual oat or wheat
grains and are thus carried into a
field with the seed. The spores germ
mate at about the same time that the
plants come up and the disease grows
directly into the tissues of the young
plant.
Smut lives in plants apparently
without doing serious damage until
the plants begin to head out. Then
the disease concentrates its efforts
in the heads and black, sooty masses
of spores fill the places where grains
should form. As these masses break
up, the spores are scattered over the
field by wind. Many lodge in grains
on healthy heads of oats or wheat
and remain alive there until the seed
are planted again. Some remain In
the diseased heads and are carried to
the thresher. In threshing, the smut
spores are scattered everywhere and
may find resting places in healthy
grains.
Oat or wheat smut can be controll-
ed by sol.'a. planting seed IN a
solution mae as follows:
Make up the fornain solution by

solution of formaldehyde) with 40
gallons of water. Sack the grain to
be treated, about a bushel to a sack.
Dip each sack of grain into the bar
rel of solution and let it remain there
from five to ten minutes, moving the
sack up and down several times to
make sure that all the grains are
thoroughly wet. Finally, lift the
sack and let the solution drain out,
after which either pile the bags OF
treated grain together and cover with
bagging or canvass, or pour the treat
ed grain into a pile on clean floor
and cover with bagging or canvass.
Leave the grain covered thus for
from IL to "a hours. AS last step,
spread the grain thinly over clean
floor to dry.
The grain should be dried as rapla-
ly as possible to prevent sprouting

The most serious limiting factor in
Williamsburg county agriculture is
lack of humus in the soil. The cas-
lest and most economical way to get
humus in the soil is by growing and
turning winter legumes. This also
enables a farmer to get nitrogen
from the air and cut his fertilizer bill.
Manure is subject to heavy losses
from several sources. For instance,
many farmers lose practically all their
LIQUID manure, yet this contains more
valuable plant food than the solid
There are a number of ways to save
stable manure and every farmer
should exert himself to get the most
possible out of his manure.
The farmer needs cooperation more
than the city man needs 1t. Organ
ization can do even more for the ru-
raj community than it does for the
urban community. Don't be a knock
er. Boost the organization that you
already have. An organization Is no
stronger than its members make it.
Let our slogan be Push-Don't Knock

Decline In Commercial Loans Checked

In commenting upon credit condi-
tions the monthly review of the New
York Federal Reserve Bank emphasizes
that the coal and railroad strikes have
been without apparent effect upon the
situation. A principal development
noted by the bank during the month is
the cessation of the downward move
ment of commercial loans. 1t also re-
marks that the volume of bond invest
ments in banks outside of New York
City has continued to increase, pre-
sumably as cumulative effect of the
liquidation of the last year and Of the
continuing imports of gold. "The vol
ume of bills discounted by the Federal
Reserve banks" the review continues,
us at almost the lowest point of the
year. Accompanying the pause in the
decline in the commercial loans Of
the banks there has recently been a
slight increase in the note circulation
of the Federal Reserve banks" The
later is attributed to the normal late
summer and autumn demand.

Upward u rerld
Is Resumed I'm
Stock Market
Chief Interest Appears
Cerfsered ON Industrial
Securities; Public Utility
Shares Continue Strong

Stocks returned with vigor to the ad-
vance yesterday as the divers situn-
tions which have systematically wor-
ried traders took on more encourage
ing aspect. The upward swing WAS
more general and on grander scale
than for several sessions and was un-
Questionably aided by the moderate
shakedown OF prices on Monday, In
terest OF the professional element was
chiefly in the Industrial shares, but
the average appreciation of railroad
stocks was only slightly less. The price
level of the industrial group went to q
new peak for the year, carrying She
average for fifty representative stocks
also to its 1922 top.
Gains of a point or more were scat
tered without discrimination over
virtually the entire list. There was
some evidence of pool operations, but
the movement was broader than could
be attributed to isolated activities of
professional operators. In fact, the
emphasis was on the dividend paying
stocks rathea than on The more specu-
lative shares. Public utility issues con-
tinued to forge ahead, with several new
highs fer the year in this group, and
special buoyance also appeared in the
equipment stocks.
Restoration of confidence was asso-
ciated primarily with three main de-
velopments in the news. Most impor-
tance was attached to the determine
tion of President Harding's intentions
regarding the coal and railroad situa-
tions, involving limitation Of his re-
quest for emergency powers to pro-
vision of means to cope with all
eventualities, without purpose for their
immediate exercise. The outlook for
settlement of the anthracite coal
strike was also pictured more hopefully
and there was some promise Of help
full action affecting the European
| financial tangle. The latter phase of
the outlook was stressed by the recov-
cry of French bonds and Improvement
| in the foreign exchanges.
An advance in marks that carried
them to nine hundredths of cent,
almost twice their minimum valuation
realized last week, was the most
formidable effort of the foreign ex-
change market to discount the results
of to-day's meeting Of the Reparation
Commission for consideration of a
moratorium and guarantees. Francs
rose 13 points and lire tx under the
play Of like forces. Sterling wa.
moderately stronger as offerings OF
commercial bills fell off. A majority
of the other Continental currencies
went lower under liquidation follow,
| ing their recent advance.
Cotton prices continued to climb as
reports from crop regions confirmed ex.
pectations Of q hullish government
4 statement on condition. Net gains
amounted to % to SO points. Wheat
tended lower almost throughout
speculative support being lacking, ant
ended the session 1ss to 1% cents of
on the day.

After Labor Day

Investment bankers anticipate an in
creased volume of new bond offerings
aster labor day, but were yesterday un-
able to supply concrete evidence in
support of these expectations. There
are several deals pending" but to
date it has proved impossible to close
these. The most prominent major
prospects are large Argentine loan.
for which bids are already in and con-
corning the outlook for which there is
much uncertainty, and the mueh-dis-
cussed loan to Cuba. The latter will
probably not be foated for fortnight
or so. There is also fair amount of
railroad equipment financing to be
done, but the bulk Of these seems like
ly to be held back until the strike sit
uation clears up.

Mexican Debt Agreement

The converting of the new Mexican
Congress scheduled within the next
few days will bring up for final rati-
fication by the Mexican authorities the
debt agreement reached between Min
lister Of Finance Adolfo de la Huerta
and the international committee of
bankers. Arrangements are under
stood to have been made for publica-
tion of the detailed terms of this
agreement simultaneously with or i'm
mediately prior to its submission to
this body. The full purport of the
agreement will thus become known to
the public probably early next week.
President Obregon has already signi-
fed his approval and favorable action
by the Congress at Mexico City is ex-
pected to be followed shortly by a call
for deposit of securities under the

Call money again advanced yesterday

disbursements has made itself felt.
Time money continued without change
as to rate, with few loans for sixty
days or longer arranged at less than
Az per cent. The demand for new
money is limited and the bulk Of busi-
ness consists of renewals.

Coal Dust i'm the Street

The effects OF the coal strike were
visible in the financial district yester-
day when "a great cloud of coal dust
placed layer of black grit over the
buildings and territory adjacent to the
Federal Reserve Bank quarters in the
Equitable Building. Soft British
report had twas being received i'm
mediately before the door and the
tenacity of the crowd in holding its
position to watch the blackened truck
men working, under the conditions, a
convincing test of mob psychology. A
block distant more normal pro-
cedure was under way, the Bankers
Trust Company building receiving pea
coal regarded as better delivery in the
street.
