. In view of the fact that there are
large quantities Of ergoted grains in
last years wheat, particularly in the
northeastern counties of the state,
which should be removed from the
seed wheat before planting, there has
been considerable inquiry from farm
ers and county agents as to the possi-
bility of combining the salt treatment
for the removal of ergot with the reg
ular formaldehyde treatment for the
prevention of smuts and other seed
borne diseases. w. Weniger, planit
pathologist, North Dakota experiment
station, describes the treatment as fol-
lows:
The salt treatment consists of i'm
mersing the seed wheat in a 20 per
cent solution of salt made by dissolv-
ing about 40 pounds of common salt in
25 gallons of water. When the wheat
is stirred, ergoted grains and shriv-
elled and light weight grains float to
the top and can be skinned Off very
readily. 1t has been commonly recon-
menede to follow this treatment by at
least one washing of the grain in clean

past-generally not until about 80 days
after the plants are set III the ground.
When Potato Bugs Appear.
The old-fashioned Colorado potato
beetles, or "hard Shells" come out Of
the ground usually when the potatoes
are about four or five, inches high.
These beetles themselves do not do
great amount of harm except that they
lay clusters Of yellow eggs on the un-
der side of the potato leaves. In
few days these eggs hatch into soft
shell beetles or slugs as they are some
times called. In the soft shell, or slug
form the potato beetle has an enor-
nous appetite and colony of them
will soon strip the foliage from a hill
Of potatoes.
Hand picking is perhaps the best
method of getting rid of the hard
shell beetles. They may be killed by
either crushing them or dropping them
into boiling water. The slugs or soft

REINFORCED CONCRETE ROAD
Experiments Conducted in Suburbs OF
Washington to Determine Strength
Of Foundation.

How reinforced concrete road
holds up under heavy traffic is to be
determined by the bureau of public
roads. United States Department Of
Agriculture, through experiments to
be conducted on such q road now he
ing built in the suburbs of Washing
ton in cooperation with Arlington
county, Va.
Ahe road is being reinforced with
many different arrangements Of wire
mesh and round steel rods embedded
in the concrete. The Joints will be
either crack left In the road, to be
filled with tar, or simply sheet Of
corrugated metal set on edge with the
concrete poured around it. Some sec
tions are to have joints running along
the middle of the road, some across 1t,
and some will be built without joints.
OF especial interest is the construc-
tion of ribbed sections. Instead OF
placing the concrete on nearly fiat
subgrade, trenches will be dug in the
subgrade running parallel to the edges
of the road and also across the road.
These trenches will be filled with con-
crete, giving the slab downward pro-
lection of concrete, and presumably
strengthening it. Experiments also
will be conducted to determine the
strengthening effect Of treating the
earth under the concrete. On one sec
ton the earth for depth Of inches
will be mixed with cement, using l
part of cement to 20 parts Of earth. /,
In some places where there is q grade
q trench under the concrete will be
filed with gravel. These trenches will
slope toward the edges of the road
and drain away any water that might
otherwise accumulate under the sur
face.

SlLAGE USED AS
FOOD is ECONOMIC

(By A. F. Schalk. Veterinarian. North
Dakota Experiment Station.) t.
Silage is a very economic food winch
can be made from number of forages
which grow well in our state. 1t serves
as method of storing large quanti-
ties of food in concentrated form dur
ing the seasons when feed is plentiful
and which might otherwise go to
waste.
Under ordinary conditions silage is
preserved with but little spoilage, but
usually there develops in the process
ing more or less moulds especially on
the top and around the sides of the
pit. From the appearances and color
of spoiled silage,. there are usually a
variety of moulds, fungi and yeasts
present. (The term spoiled or mouldy
silage as herein used includes moulds,
fungi, yeasts and possibly other para.
site growths.)
AS far as can be determined practi-
cally all silage moulds are harmless
for cattle, when eaten in small or mod
crate quantities.. However, we cannot
say so much for horses and sheep. In
our northern country with its severe
winter weather, silage if often frozen
around the sides where most Of the
mOulds are found. Whether it is en-
tirely the moulds or a combination Of
moulds and the frozen conditions
which renders silage dangerous food
for these classes of animals is not
definitely know at this time.
Again, botulinus bacterium, which
is responsible for ptomaine poisoning
In man has been found in Connection
with silage poisoning in stock. 1t is
possible that this germ is more COM
mon in silage than suspected, or it may
be that the moulds and the conditions
of freezing and thawing render it more
active.
The disease which develops from
these conditions Of silage is forage
poisoning. The history of most cases,
shows that mouldy, frozen silage has
been scattered through the regular
feed or that the owner has uncovered
pit and thrown out the spoiled silage
where the animals have access to it.
The symptoms usually, come on
within short time and are mostly of
nervous nature. There is difficulty
