PREVENT SMUT
BY TREATMENT
OF SEED GRAIN
FOrmaldehyde and Copper
Carbonate Are Both
Recommended

Due to a large loss occurring dur
ing the past few years, interest is
being revived in the practice of
treating grain prior to seeding for
the prevention of sinking smut. In
addition to the quantity of grain
lost, much damage results to the
quality, according to the millers. and
producers must stand heavy dis
counts on wheat which contains
smut.
The practice of treating wheat
with formaldehyde for smut pre-
vention was originated many years
ago by H. l.. Bolley of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, and has
been practiced for a long time in all
parts Of the world where wheat is
grown. A new method of treatin:
by using copper carbonate dust has
been given very extensive trials dur
ing the past few years, and has met
with very satisfactory results. The
principal advantage over the formal
dehyde method is that there is nc
likelihood of damaging the seed
Both treatments for wheat are re-
commended by authorities at the
North Dakota Agricultural college
The formaldehyde treatment is the
only one recommended for barley
and oats.
The Directions

FUND TO HELP
WORTHY GIRLS
Is INCREASING
Contained Only $13.26 in 1922
But Now Has Total Of
Nearly $50

Harvey. N. d., March 5.-tP) With
Sl:.25 as Il beginning, members of
the Fifth district of the North Da-
kota Federation of Women's Clubs
have accumulated fund which they
hope will be of material benefit in
helping worthy girls TO obtain edu-
cations which will fit them to take
responsible positions in life, accord
ing to Mrs. Bertha n. Peterson, dis
trict president.
In 1922, Mrs. Peterson said, the
district organization had $l3 which
it had collected as interest on its
general fund. 1t was decided to start
a student loan fund to help girls
through college but Miss Vannic Hall
Of New Rockford felt that IL was nn-
mt' and added 25 cents to drive the
ho.,..-0 away.
During the year donations added
$37.5O to the fund and in 1923 the
district added $50 to the original
nest egg. This, with the interest
money, increased the fund to $l07.56
It was decided to name the fund the
elsie Hadley White Scholarship
Loan Fund" in honor Of Mrs. Frank
White Of Valley City, former state
president of the federation.
Trustees Named
Two trustees were elected to four
year terms to manage disbursements.
They were Mrs. Frank Ployhar of
Valley City and Mrs. Frank Moore
OF Darlington.
At the district meeting ut CARING
ton in 1924 total of $l26.56 was III
the fund and at Harvey in 1925 the
report showed $l4747. 1t also was
decided that the club women of each
city which entertained the district
convention should give annually an
entertainment the proceeds to 60 to
the fund and the trustees were in
structed to begin to loan the money
to worthy fifth-district girls making
application for help.
A per capita tax to further swell
the fund now is being considered,
Mrs Peterson said. Commenting on
the future olsthe fund she said. THE
availability of the fund will no doubt
bring many calls from worthy girls
and we hope to be a real shelter in
time of storm to these splendid girls
of our own immediate district. 1t is
good work, the end Of which no
one can see"

 Pittsburgh, idle for several days during which the club has been damaged by internal strife, is ready to meet the eastern invasion that is expected to decide the National league championship.
 The Careyless Pirates encounter Boston in the first series of contests and from the showing the Braves made against Brooklyn yesterday will have little trouble. The Bos- tonians, however, usually make themselves felt in the final stages of a pennant race.
 St. Louis hopes, the Cardinals, re- mained we'll to the fore in yester- days struggles, three home runs aiding them in defeating the Chica- go Cubs, ' to ?. Jim Bottomley, and Les Bell hit circlit blows for the Cardinals while Hack Wilson and Mike Gonzales of Chicago obtained one and remained in a tie with Bot tomely for the National league honors at 16.
 Cincinnati, third place club, con- tinued its unrelenting pursuit of the Cardinals by turning back Philadel- phia, to ?. with its infield furnish ing four double plays behind Dono- hue and Rixey. Hugh Critz, Reds second baseman, was outstanding in the attack with a brace O. doubles.
 Brooklyn trounced the Braves twice, 4 to 1 and II to 3, Dazzy Vance keeping seven hits wei lscat- tered in the first contest while the Brooklyn bats attained power which has been lacking for several weeks to win the second. Sixteen lusty whacks gave the steady Jess Barnes little to worry about.
 The Yankees could gain no better than an even break in double header with the Red Sox, but Cleve- land failed to gain as the result of a split with the Browns. Babe Ruth hit safely four out of five times, dur ing the afternoon, his record show ing a home run, two doubles and a single, all of which had something to do with the run making. Herb Pennock won the first game, 4 to 2, but four runs in the sixth inning of the second gave Boston 5 to 3 margin.
 St. Louis outslugged Cleveland to win the opening battle, IT to z, Wal ly Schang and Ken Williams pro- ducing home runs by George Uhle registered his nineteenth victory or the season in the second. 6 to 4. George Burns of the Indians doubled in the first contest, running his string to 54. Schang's homer came with the bases filled.
 Detroit and Chicago battled five innings to a scoreless tie before rain ended the game, Collins of Detroit allowing one hit and Edwards of Chicago two.
 The Senators rallied with two runs in the eighth inning to down Phil adelphia, to 3. Washington made three double plays and the Athletics two.

Battles for Position
 In Church League Games

Although the St. Matthew's Luth- erans still need one more victory to clinch the Inter-Church league title, the championship has been really conceded them by the other nine teams and the main interest Is now centering in the. scramble for posi- ton. The St. 8Iatts are way out in front and Kensington is far in the rear, but only three games separate the other eight teams, there being triple tie for second place. It is therefore still possible for a team to rush from ninth to second or fall the other way just as far and the re- maining games will not suffer much from the long lead of the St. Matts.
 The St. Matts have their chance to end even the mathematical un- certainty tonight when they meet the Center church. They defeated this team before by 15-0 and are looking forward to repeating this trick, but the Center church says the leaders will know they have been in a fight. The South church, in the midst of a last-minute rush 10 reach the 800 mark, will take on the tail-end Kensington team, which has been going from bad to worse and showing only spasmodic flashes of real ball. The Trinity Methodists will attempt to move out alone in second place when they meet the First Baptists.
