Every year some improvement
is made. Generally the treatment
has required two men: one to
spray with a mixture of one pint
formaldelyde to ten pintS water
while being shoveled over by an
other man, but now one man can
do all of the work by pumping up
tank so that constant spray
will be directed against each SHOW
elful handled by himself. Care
should be exercised that all of the
seed is damped with the solution.
This dry method Is recommend
ed because it does not wet the
grain enough to swell it. It there
fore does not clog the machine and
the after effects of formaldehyde
are not likely to injure the germi-
nation of the seed.'
Formaldehyde may be had in tin
