WHEAT GROWERS
BATTLE RUST IN SEED

The next battle for the farmers of
Sussex county to fight is the one
against wheat smut. Due to the fact
that this is a very destructive enemy
and so easy to check, it is highly
important that all wheat growers
treat their wheat for this disease.
The time for seeding wheat is at
hand and since so many inquiries
have been received with reference
to the dust treatment, it seems best
to give out the latest information
we have on it.
In 1917 the dry treatment with
copper carbonate was introduced
and is now recognized as one of the
best methods for the control of
shrinking smut. In 1925 about 200
bushels were treated in Sussex
county, 5000 bushels in 1926, about
1000 bushels in 1927 and approx
mately $4,000 bushels were treated
in 1928.
Copper carbonate is a dry, fine |
powder. 1t is easy to apply, cheap,
does not injure the seed and will aid |
in protecting the seed against weev-
ills. The treated seed can be stored |
and is seldom touched by mice.
Use about ounces of the dust
to each bushel of wheat. Under
certain conditions 21S or OF. may
be used. The dust must be thor
oughly spread over each kernel.
This can be done by the use of a
home made mixing machine or,
where small amounts of seed are
used, it can be mixed successfully
in lard can or steel drum. Simply
put your seed in the receptacle and
the required amount of dust, close
the lid and then roll it around until
each kernel is coated. If you are
interested in home made mixing
machine, your County Agent, C. R.
Snyder, will gladly send you
sketches and plans for making one.
Copper carb" as we'll as all other
dusts, are poisonous and should not
be inhaled. 1t is well when treat
ing the wheat in the above recep-
taeles to wear something over the
nose and mouth.
The best way to have it treated,
however, is to take the seed to the
diamond State Roller Mills, Milton.
)r to the Greenwood mill Both of
hese mills have special machinery
o do this work. Here the wheat is
aimed and treated for a reasonable
charge. The treatment will insure
our wheat against this disease.

BRITISH MONOPOLY
SURRENDERS

American commerce never has
scored a more spectacular triumph
than is to be found in abandonment
by the British government of re-
strictiOns on exports of rubber from
British colonies, which is to become
operative the first of November.
Less than week after this regula-
ton takes effect, the American peo-
pie will be offered an opportunity to
vote for Herbert Hoover, the man
who led the Americans to this vic
tory over foreign monopoly.
Restrictions were intended to en-
nance the price and to swell British
revenue. AS the British colonies
produced three-fourths of the
worlds supply of rubber, and as the
United States consumed about sew
enty per cent. of that supply, the
effect was to make the American
consumer-principally the owners
of automobiles-pay tribute to Great
Britain and the British rubber COM
panies.
Secretary Hoover called attention
to the extortionate price of rubber
and recommended plans to defeat
this predatory monopoly. Processes
were perfected at which old rubber
was reclaimed and regenerated.
Then American rubber manufacture
ers planted groves of rubber trees
in tropical countries not under Brit
ish rule.
Not only has Mr.. Hoover perform
ed a great service to millions of |
users of rubber through his preven-
ton of the British monopoly, but he |
has given promise of DEVELOPMENT |
of a mammoth new industry-the |
production of raw rubber.
That type of man in the White
House will go a long way in MAIN
tanning the present sound economic
status of the nation and increasing
its material prosperity-and in this
way increasing the prosperity of the

"BEAU SABREUR" PLEASES
EVEN HARD TO SUIT FANS

One reason for the widespread
success of the motion picture Beau
Sabreur," is the fact that while
melodramatic heart stirring mo-
ments are replete throughout the
production, the comedy touch has
not been forgotten.
From the very start of this Para
mount adaptation of Percival G.
Wren's thrilling story of the Sahara
and the Foreign Legion, the lighter
vein is apparent. The comedy has
been placed in capable hands.
Joan Standing, in the role of
Maudie, the simple English maid of
Evelyn Brent, offers portrayal that
is distinctly different and is the
reason for many a chuckle. Miss
Standings knowledge of humor aids
the picture to a considerable degree.
But the main comedy laurels go
to Noah Berry, as the Sheikh Ell
Hamel, apparently a fierce tribe
leader and power on the Sahara,
and Roscoe Harms, his grand vizier
In some of the most dramatic mo-
ments, the Indifferent. air of both
serves to relieve the tension ma
terially.
1t turns out that the Sheikh Ell
Hamel is, instead of being such a
mighty and fearless person, just a
human being, deserter from the
Foreign Legion who has had the
glory thrust upon him. His grand
vizier was his companion in the
army.
The audience is not let into that
secret for several reels, and it
comes somewhat as a surprise, but
it is a laughable one.

famed Beau Geste," is being shown

Concentrated Fertilizers

A marked tendency toward the use
of fertilizers with higher percen-
tages of plant food is apparent as
the result of campaign put on by
the fertilizer industry and various
agricultural agencies. Some of the
reasons for this are obvious. Less
material is required in the high
analysis products. The fertilizer
manufacturer saves in the number Of
bags he has to furnish, and the far
mer makes a corresponding gain in
hauling a smaller number of bags to
the farm and to the field. Smaller
storage space is adequate, whether
in the manufacturers warehouse or
in the farmers barns or sheds. Both
producer and consumer save in labor
involved in handling the smaller
bulk. Freight charges represent enc
of the principal savings. Even II 1t
is desired to apply the fertilizer in
more dilute form it is often possible
to arrange for this on the farm u.s.
ing a farm waste to supplement the
fertilizer. Formerly some fertilizers
were sold with as little as TO per
cent of available plant food. Now
many States have set a minimum Of
IA per cent and are endeavoring to
shut out some fertilizers, the formu-
las of which indicate that they would
not be particularly suitable for the
crops and soils Of the State. Many
fertilizers are now
available. To be classed as a con-
centrated fertilizer, according to
Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the mixture
must have 80 per cent or more OF
available plant food. Mixtures have
been made of such high concentra-
ton that they carry 70 per cent OF
active plant food.

Cows of low or medium production

dry period as high producers. Such
COWS should be dry month or six
weeks, provided they are in good
