HOW SMUT LOSS
CAN Be REDUCED
Use Simple Control Measure Be-
tween Now and Planting
Time, Says Ogaard

Whether smut, one of the most
serious diseases of grain crops in
Montana, will take its usual toll from
the farmers this year, depends upon
whether or not they observe the sim
pie control measures between now
and planting time, according to A. j..
Ogaard, extension agronOmist.
The copper carbonate dust treat
ment is the best means of preventing
smut in wheat, according to Mr..
Ogaard. Two ounces of copper car
Donate thoroughly mixed with a BUSH
el Of wheat in a special homemade or
manufactured dust machine is recon-
mended. Seed may be treated at any
time before planting and there IS
no danger of injury to seed.
For oats the seed may be dipped
in a solution of one pint of formalde-
hyde and 40 gallons of water, drain
ed, covered over with canvas or sacks
and allowed to stand for five to II
hours. If seed is not sOwed immedi-
ately it should be spread out to dry.
In the sprinkle method, a solution OF
n pint Of fOrmaldehyde and 10 gal
Ions of water is sprinkled over the
oats (this amount is enough for 4C
bushels) and the seed carefully mixed
by shoveling. Another method i,
treating oats is to prepare a solution
Of one pint Of fOrmaldehyde and ont
pint of water (enough for so bush
els) and spray on the oats with /:
hand sprayer. One stroke of tn,
pump is enough for a shOvelful O.
seed. The pile should be covere.
with canvas or sacks and allowed t.
stand for Is hours. Seed should b
sowed Immediately o carefully stir
red by shoveling to prevent furthe
action of the formaldehyde.
The treatment for barley is to soal

EXPONENT SETS
A Speed RECORD

Through the enterprise of the
Weekly Exponent, student publication
of Montana State college, news of the
basketball tournament held here last
week was distributed at the gymna-
SUM each evening at 1880 o'clock in
a special edition containing a full ac-
count of all games played the pre-
vious evening and during the day.
The Exponent is printed in The Cour-
Ter plant.
Saturday night the Exponent forms
were held open until the end of the
last game, and eight minutes after
the final gun the papers were being
distributed upon the gymnasium
floor. That edition contained not only
the entire tournament news of the
day and evening, but a full account of
the BObcat championship victory at
Colorado Springs as well,
Two years ago a record of eight
minutes and IS seconds was set in
getting Exponents to the gymnasium
after the final game; and although
no effort to break that record was
made this year, it was bettered by
35 seconds. Much credit is being
given the Exponent editor, Don Wey.
demeyer, and his staff for their init
alive and ability.

80 MILLION PRUSSIAN
LOAN SNAG REMOVED
Issue in New York This Week Ex-
rected to Follow Nego-
tiations.
By line Associated Pros,

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 10.-DificuIties
encountered in the negotiations of
the Prussian State government for a
S30,000,000 loan from an American
banking group have been solved. it
vas officially announced TODAY.
The prospectus has been drafted to
bring the loan into consonance with
the Dawes plan and the treaty of
Versailles, and the issue is expected
in New York some time this week.
Negotiations for the $3O, 900 900
Prussian state loan appeared to have
struck a snag. when it was announced
on September 26 that the answer
OF the American State Department
to proposals by the American bank
ing group in connection with the loan
had been withheld presumably be-
cause of strong opposition to the
loan manifested in some financial cir
cles in Germany"
On September 90 Washington dis
patches said that the State Depart
ment had no objection to the loan
on the ground of public policy, since
the aim of the loan was to stabilize
currency, therefore coming within
the category of loans for productive
purposes. to which no objection could
be made
President Hjalmar Schacht of the
German Reichsbank for some time
has been opposed to the policy of
obtaining loans abroad too frequent
ly. DIR. Schacht held a conference
with the German cabinet on October
in regard to the question of loans,
particularly short-term ones. The
conference was believed to have re-
moved obstacles in the way of the
successful negotiation of the Prussian
state loan.

WATSON SCOUTS PR OFIIBITION
AS POLITICAL ISSUE IN 1928
Indiana Senator Declares
G. 0. P. Strategists Are
UnSWayed by CIamor.
Likens Dry Law Debate as
"Hot Poker" in Hands
of the Democrats.
BY ROBERT BARRY.

With characteristic clarity of eX-
preston, Senator James L. Watson of
Indiana says prohibition as a political
issue does not disturb the nights of
Republican strategiSts.
Senator Watson is the "favorite
son" of Hoosier Republicans for 1929
honorS. He might have been the presi-
Dental nominee at Chicago in 1920 If
Boies Penrose had not been PROSTATE
in Philadelphia.
Il do not think prohibition will be
a major issue from the Republican
standpoint in either the national con-
venticn or the presidential campaign. :
said Senator Watson, and having said
that, he added.
THE Democrats are rent asunder
on that question, and / know of no
reason why we should insist on COM
pelling them to give up so hot a poker
that we may attempt to handle il"
Senator Watson is a veteran of
many strenuous nocturnal sessions of
resolutions committees at Republican
national conventions. He was chair
man of at least one; his voice was eff
fective and his counsel sought in sew
eral others.
To Suppress Own Differences.
No amount of campaign phrase
ology could conceal what Senator Wat
son intended to reveal, nor any party
tactieian state more succinctly a fore
cast of Republican action on a con-
troverSial question of party policy.
The Republicans will compromise their
personal differences, he is certain,
however much they may disagree over
candidates..
In 1924, when the Democratic con-
vention battled long after midnight
over the Klan question, the Republi-
can convention never heard even a
murmur of the issue, nor was there
any public airing of the terrific row
over the World Court disagreements
among Republicans at Cleveland.
The platform subcommittee voted.
IL to /, against adoption of a plank
urged by Charles Beecher Warren,
summoned from his post as Ambasas.-
dor to Mexico to the craftsmanship of
the resolutions committee.
Mr.. Warren pleaded for the plank.
1t was, he announced, the only one
President Coolidge had written per-
sonally. The full committee was as
hostile as the subcommittee, yet every
committeeman except one agreed
finally to support it.
Coolidge Plank Adopted.
The Coolidge plank went into the
platform. 1t was adopted on the floor
at colorful night session, when the
veteran Henry Allen Cooper of Wis
consin essayed a Leonidas stand un-
der the Kleig lights, only to have the
forces of regularity troop over him.
Senator Watson's declaration at
tempts candor, not evasion. He knows
pretty well what his party is going to
do about, prohibition. He does not
strive to deal in subterfuge.
The Republican platform" the Sem
ator said, undoubtedly will announce
the position of the party as one favor
ing the enforcement of all laws, every
day and everywhere. I do not believe

The Trouble-Shooter Says:

It's ever a source Of wonder to
those Of us who make a business OF

owners attitude regarding the condi-
ton of the ground and the ground
connection To most persons who
own and operate radio sets. the good
ground is viewed as sort of frill.
They admit that reception is better
with a good ground, but feel that
nothing in particular would be missed
if it happened to be omitted.
Whenever I meet anyone who re-
minds me that he holds such an i'm
possible view, I proceed to make
simple but always effective expert
ment. Perhaps it's trick, but it does
the work and that's what counts.
If the set is in condition to operate
at all. my first request to the owner
is to step into the other room and tell
me what 7 am doing to the set. The
owner then obeys my command-at

When I tell him that I've just loos-

McCARL RULING STIRS

officials Also Interested in Ban on
Use of Radio for Advertising
Treasury Loans.

The recent ruling Of Controller
General McCarl relative to the use of
broadcasting as a form of advertising
by the Government is arousing con.
siderable interest both in official and
broadcasting circles.
The occasion was the approval of
the payment to the National Broad
casting Company for transmitting
talks by Undersecretary of the
Treasury Ogden Mills and others last
November, when the second Liberty
loan bonds were called in.
Although approving this initial pay
ment for broadcasting,' the control
Ter believes that Congress should
make clear the legality for such ex.
penditures. He desires more specific
authority if advertising loan issues is
to be carried on in the future over the
air. Secretary Mellon is said to have
admitted the great advertising value
of radio broadcasting, and to have
intimated that it be used again unless
forbidden by law. Mr.. Mellon. how.
ever. seemed to be OF the opinion
that broadcasting was more adaptable
to political than financial ventures.
