TREATMENT OF
SEED WILL STOP
SMUT IN GRAIN
Would Save Farmers Of North
Dakota Several Million
Dollars Annually

Farmers Of North Dakota may
dk.ye several million dollars an
nually If all make . practice Of
treating their seed grain every year
for the prevention Of loss from
sinking smut, according to author
tiles at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college.
Attention is called to the fact that
seed grain should be treated every
year, not every second or third
year; durum wheat i just a. sus.
ceptible to the disease as hard
spring wheat, and in addition to
wheat, seed oats, barley and mil
let should also be treated. Farm
ers Of this state are most familiar
with the formaldahyde treatment.
originated many years ago by Prof.
H. L. Bolley Of the North Dakota
State college. He gives directions
for this treatment ~ follows:
ITO prepare the formaldehydo
solution, use l pound Of 40 per cent
formaldehyde ZIG ounces avoirdu-
pois) to 40 gallons Of water. For
wheat, apply this solution in any
manner just 50 the grains are even
~ wet over the entire surface. Dip,
sprinkle and shovel, or run through
a dipping machine. DO not soak
the wheat more than necessary to
wet evenly. It takes approximately
IL to ga gallon Of solution for
each bushel Of dry wheat. Do the
treatment the day the grain il
sown or Ut least not more distant
than the afternoon Of the day pre-
ceding. Put the grain into the
ground while yet damp and swelled.
Do not dry before sowing. Har.
row and pack the seed bed 80 firmly
that the moisture will b brought
we'll to the top so that the seed will
terminate 1t once.

add one pint Of water to one
pint Of formaldehyde. Apply this
solution on the oats very evenly by
means of an air-pressure sprayer.
The sprayer should throw . fine
misty spray on the seed 80 a. to hit
all grain, while the pile is being
handled over. The spray should hit
each shovelful thoroughly. Pile the
grain and cover closely for about 5
hours with . canvas or other tight
cover to retain the gas.
"Good results may also b had by
using q solution made from one pint
Of formaldehyde added to ten pints
Of water. Do not soak or make
very wet with this solution, but
evenly dampen the grain. then pile
or bag for five hours and sow while
yet damp.
1.-THE copper carbonate dust gives
good results in the control Of stink
ing smut or bunt Of wheat only.
Apply to each buushel Of seed wheat
two to four ounces Of copper car

or other homemade device which
can be rotated after the manner Of

do, If carefully used.

"Under such conditions, formal

no smut be present on the seed. It
prevents other troubles than smut.
with oats, barley and millet the
smut spores are chiefly lodged In
side the chaff scales. The treat
ment must therefore be thoroughly
enough to allow the solution to soak
beneath the scales. Dipping is all
right, but it is found that even
though the grain is run through .
regular dipping machine. it pays to
shovel it over to exclude air bub-
bles and to insure the even distri-
button Of the liquid If the sprink-
ling and shoveling method is used,
the grain should be thoroughly wet
to insure the absorption Of suffi-
cient solution. Barley and oats
should absorb approximately one to
two gallons Of the solution per dry
bushel.
ITO. insure that the drill sows the
correct amount Of the moist or
swelled wheat, oats, or barley, set
the drill to sow approximately one
peck more Of swelled wheat and one
half bushel more Of oats or barley
than is usually used Of dry grain.
This will be roughly correct for the
formaldehyde treated grain while it
is yet thoroughly moist.
do not let damp, treated grain
become heated or frozen before it is
seeded.

TOPEKA. Kans. April 1.-Two more
Federal court suits have been added
to the maze of litigation resulting from
efforts of the Government to administer
the estate of Jackson S. Barnett, known
as the worlds wealthiest Indian, Bar
nett is about n.
The first of two suits filed yesterday
was entered here, naming Harold G.
McGugin Coffeyville. Kans., attorney,
defendant To the charge he had at
tempted to gain control OF the aged
Greek Indians estate by obtaining a
child from the tribe to be presented as
Barnett's blood heir.
Charge SisO.0O0 Fee Paid.
Although the Government set forth
the belief that this attempt had been
unsuccessful, the petition alleged Nc
Gugins law firm obtained a $l50,00o
fee on a contract calling for IS per cent
of all money obtained from the Indian
by his wife, Anna Laura Barnett.
In another suit filed at Tulsa, Okla,

the Attorney General. sought return
of $4,000 in Liberty bonds, alleged TO
have been paid Col. Charles L. Mott

Barnett.

This litigation follows an almost con-

Government shortly after the discovery
of oil on Barnett's Oklahoma land eight
years ago. When the first gusher was

But it was much too good to be true 1t seemed to

All for F farmers

AS for the farmer, who represents
the one other possible bone of con-
tention, he should come down here
and learn how he has come to be
pitied, especially in sections where
he was supposed to lack sympathy
The chances are he has no idea
of the number and enthusiasm of
his friends in the Democratic party.
If the farmers interests have
been sidetracked temporarily for
prohibition, it was because Norman
Mack spoke out of his turn. No one
wanted to see his act grabbed. It
represented too good basis of har-
mony, whether he got. anything out
Of it or not.
The farmers sorry plight is some
thing on which every one attend
ing this convention can agree. Just
how it should be remedied is not
so clear, but that bridge can be
crossed when we come to it, and
if we wait long enough the farmer
may cross it himself.
The function of a convention is
to prom Sc, not perform. This one
can be depended on to do well by
the farmer.

Jones Fights Vets

The idea of defeating Governor
Smith has well-nigh disappeared,
but the idea of forcing a dry plank
on him still persists.
This idea finds definite expression
not only in the ultimatum issued
by Governor Moody, but in an ed
itorial appearing in the Houston
Chronicle, which is controlled by
Jesse Holman Jones, Monday after
noon. That editorial declared that
the Democratic party must not be
committed to AN anti-prohibition
program, or an anti-prohibition
candidacy.
THE southern States are prohi-
bition States it said. 1.-THE oppo-
nents Of prohibition can denounce
this as evidence of hypocrisy and
fan2ticism if they will, but the fact
of the political situation remains,
and the Democrats from other parts
of the country should understand
that the prohibition strength in
the South is sincere and determined.
To flout it with a wet program is to
court destruction Of the party"

The third hunter they called Moose-bird.
The hunt starts early in the spring when the bear
is seen marching across the sky with the hunters
trailing behind him.
But in the summer, the difference in the position
of the constellation makes the bear appear to be
balancing his instead of walking across the
sky. This was the time when the hunters caught up
with him, according to the legend.
In the autumn the hunters kill the bear. At this
season the constellation is so turned that the bear
is lying on his back with his feet in the air
The foliage turns red in the fall, said the Indians,
because the blood of the bear is dripping down from
the sky.
Throughout the winter, said the Indians, only the
skeleton Of the bear is in the sky for the hunters had
: eaten him by then.
But in the spring. the season when all nature awak-
to life more, there is life breathed into
the bear and he starts marching solemnly the
sky once with Robin, Chickadee and Moose-bird
in pursuit
Thus the constellation of the bear became SYM
Dol for the cycle of nature to the Indians
The Great Bear figures in the literature of many
ancient peoples. There references to it to be
found in the Bible.

SAYS:

HOUSTON. June 26.-Thus far,
l. 4 this is more like carnival
than a convention. In spite Of all
the bombasts, caucusing and con-
flicting claims, the crowd remains
joyous. There is political talk, of
course, and lots of it, but there is
a holiday spirit such as one seldom
meets with on such an occasion.
Delegates and visitors have been
spending much more time going
about town and meeting friends
than thy have attending to bust
ness, and at that, they haye not
spent half as much as the fenter-
tainment provided for them called
for.
Most towns want national con-
vention so that they can go to it,
but Houston reverses the idea. What
Houston wants out of this conven-
ton is for $4,000 strangers to see
the town.
1t is not a case of hard boiled
advertising either, but of local pride
and southern hospitality.

a plea for higher wages or better
conditions.
They would send word to their
organized agents in foreign countries
for ship load of men to take the
place of those who wanted to live
like American citizens. During a
number of years of this procedure,
thousands Of laborers were shipped
in from foreign lands to take the
place of the scantily paid home
labor.
The worst feature in the transac-
zion was that these men were to a
large extent picked out of the scum
of polluted crininality, thugs, rob-
bers, thieves, mrderers and all
classes Of criminals.
Many foreign countries were glad
to get rid of their criminals in that
way to save expense of caring for
them. 1t is true that many of those
shipped in that way were men of
character and made us good citizens.
Check up the factory of crime, the
real factory of criminals, and you
only have to check up on the chill
dren and grandchildren of these
shipped in criminals.
What is the remedy?" An immedi-
ate remedy cannot be looked for or
expected inlthe near future, as the
same interests that brought these
conditions on, together with the big
ger interests that have grown up in
the last twenty years, would not
permit or submit to a real remedy.
The only hope Of cessation of this
criminal wave which is devastating
our country at the present time is
to humanize, sterilize and Chris
tianize this element.

RumorS and WhoopIa

Apart from the holiday spirit, this
pre-convention weekend was the
usual hodge-podge of rumors, trial
balloons and whoopla.
Efforts continue to form a coali-
ton among the opponents of Gov
ernor Smith. Some of these eff
forts are surprising and a few seem
promising. but mostly they are too
fantastic for serious consideration.
The latest scheme is for a Reed
Moody combine, which is chiefly
significant because it suggests how
hopeless the struggle has become.
You just cannot imagine the wet

for dry delegates, or dry delegates
accepting him as their Moses.

Plank Last Hope

Considering the influence Jones
is supposed to exercise in higr,
Democratic circles, especially since
he brought" the national conven-
ton to Houston, considering the fact
that he has been Endorsed by the
Texan delegation, and considering
his former relations with William
Gibbs McAdoo, such an expression
is significant.
1t can only mean that he has
decided to throw in his lot with
the dry faction, even at the risk
of antagonizing the Smith support
ers, not necessarily with the idea
of preventing the latter's nominal
ton, but of forcing the adoption of
prohibition plank.
Such a plank is about all the
drys now hope, for, but they hope
for it, and they will fight for it to
the last ditch.

relationship between eXophthal mic
goiter and nervous disturbances.
This is obvious from the fact that
almost every case Of goiter or of in
creased secretions of the thyroid
gland will improve when put at
complete rest.
All men, normal or sick, as pointed
out by DR.. r. T. Woodyatt, have
emotional reactions and all are af-
fected physically by them.
The extent of the response marks
the difference between the person
who intends to remain healthful
and the one who is likely to be
chronically sick.
