On August 20, the Democrats of
the district nominated w. Turner
Logan as the candidate of their

for the entrance of any white man

the party polls. Every one Of the
nineteen thousand voters who par
ticipated in the primary election
took solemn oath to abide such
result and to support the nominee.
Each and every one of them is

Cotton Stalk Destruction Campaign
The campaign which we have had
on in the county for the past week OF
more is bringing results, and during
last week many acres Of these boil
wecvil hotels were put away. During
the week meetings were held at Home
Branch, PaXville, Enterprise and
Hicks Schoolhouse. Farmers attend
ing these meetings in many eases
pledged themselves to destroy their
own stalks at once, and to do what
they could to get their neighbors to
do likewise.
Mr.. +. E. Hall and the County
Agent made talks at Home Branch
and Paxville and Mr.. A. II. Ward of
Darlington County spoke at Enter

Use of Formalin to Prevent Smut iii
e oats End Wheat
;, Smut !S the most widespread and
destructive disease of small grain
and it occurs wherever oats and
wheat are grown. When proper con-
troll measures are not practiced, it
frequently causes serious loss. For
tunately, it is not hard to prevent
this disease. Before sowing oats or
wheat, farmers should treat the seed
with a formalin solution to prevent
smut.
Smut is caused by parasitic
growth that lives in the tissues of
the plant. The disease spreads by
spores (very small, seed like bodics)
which cling to the hulls or lodge in
the creases of individual oats or
wheat grains and are thus carried
into field with the seed. The
spores terminates at about the same
time that the plants come up and the
disease grows directly into the It's
sues of the young plant.
Smut lives in plants apparently
without doing serious damage until
the plants begin to head out. Then
the disease concentrates it's efforts
in the heals 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 ats 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 soaking the planting seed in a
solution made as follows:
Make up the formalin solution by
| mixing one pint formalin Gao per
cent. solution Of farmaldehide) with
40 gallons of water Sack the grain
to be treated, about bushel to a
sack. Dip each sack of grain into
the barrel of solution and let it re-
main there from five to ten minutes,
moving the sack up and down sever
al times to make sure that all tho
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 treated grain into pile on
q clean floor and cover with bagging
or canvass. Leave tho grain cover
cd thus for 12 hour AS last step,
spread the grain tn. .ly over clean
floor to dry,
The grain should be dried as rap
idly as possible to prevent sprouting
Naturally, grain thus treated should
be put in clean bins or sacks so as
not to be again exposed to the dis
ease. Sacks and bins th.t ',,,xo ron.
rained diseased grain may be tisiHs
facted by washing with i T6rmalin
solution made of ole pint formalin
to 10 gallons water.
Your county agent will be glad to
assist any farmer in treating his
seed. Call on him.
Prevention of Rabies in Dogs
The mad dog scare is constantly be-
fore us and many valuable dogs are
lost from being bitten by rabid ami
mails. Also quite frequently people
are bitten and must undergo treat
ment with even then an occasional
case of hydrophobia among persons.
For the above reasons l have writ
ten the state veterinarian regarding
serum which is prepared for the
prevention of rabies among dogs. He
advises me that they keep this serum
in stock and will furnish it at $1.5O
per dose. The animal to be treated
is given one injection of the serum.
This according to the state veterinar-
ian renders him immune to bites from
mad dogs for approximately one year.
There is also treatment consist
ing of several doses which is given
dogs after being bitten to prevent the
development of the disease. This
treatment, however is much more ex-
pensive. The state veterinarian does
not furnish this treatment.
