OF all the beauty spots in and

found more delightful by the visi-
tor, or gives more pride to the
resident than beautiful Balboa

be unhampered by the busy marts
of commerce and trade.
When one stops to consider that
10 years ago, this scenic wonder
was barren stretch of parched
earth, with hardly a trace of grass
or shrubbery on it, the transforma-
tion into a beautiful park that will
vie in appearance with those which
have existed for many years in 9TH

still more, the resourcefulness and
courage of San Diegans in overcom-
ing a natural handicap and turning
it into a powerful asset to the city 5

Built for Exposition
Balboa Park was built as the
scene of the San Diego Exposition
of 19l5-1916, commcmorating the
completion of the Panama Canal.
The beautiful buildings which were
erected to house the exposition still
remain in the park, which, after it
had served its purpose for the ex-
position, was turned over to the
people of the city. Though the

NEW METHOD A T
WHEAT SMUT PROPOSED

The state college has recently made
Investigations into a new method OF
treating sinking smut of wheat and
loose smut of oats, and considerable
literature and information on this
method has been sent out over the
state through the various county
agents. 1t is a treatment with dry
copper carbonate powder and dis
places the treatments with either for
malin or copper sulphate solutions.
The treatment consists simply of
thoroughly mixing the wheat and the
fine copper carbonate powder. The
powder should be very fine-fine
enough to pass through a 100 OF 200
mesh screen. The finer and conse-
quently the lighter and fluffier the
powder is, the better. The wheat and
powder can be mixed in an old churn
or a barrel, or other methods that the
county agents will recommend. The
important things in the mixing pro-
cess are that the powder be mixed
with the wheat, and that it be kept
out of the air, so that it cannot get
into the Threats and nostrils of those
working win the wheat, as it is very
irritating and quite poisonous. 1t
takes about two ounce of the powder
for a bushel of grain.
There are several advantages IN
this method over the former methods.
It does not injure the termination of
the grain in the least. 1t is insolu-
bic in water, and consequently stays
on the grain in the soil and prevents
a certain amount Of contamination
from that source. The seed is treat
ed dry, and consequently can be stored
directly after treating, can be treated
when convenient and does not have
to be handled wet, thus doing away
with special adjustments or the drill
and sloppy handling generally.
There are also several disadvant-
ages to this method of treating the
grain, according to the extension sta
ton staff. Copper carbonate is, as
yet, rather hard to obtain in the con-
dition for treatment, because It is nor
yet in COMMERCIAL use in this form.
This method is slightly more expens
i've than old methods, costing about
