TREAT SEED WHEAT
FOR SMUT CONTROL
TContinued from Firlt Paael


growers are being warned again this
summer relative to the treatment of
their seed wheat for the control of
this smut to prevent the dockage in
price at harvest time. This advice
seems to be of particular importance
at this time when the market prices
for wheat are so low as to cause the
| farmers to take every precaution to
reduce the possibilities of dockage
on account of smut balls and an in
ferior grade of product.
The campaign for the control of
stinking smut in the wheat crop of
this State was started in the sum-
mer of 1925 under the direction of
DR.. J. F. Adams, plant pathologist of
the University of Delaware and the
State Board of Agriculture, in CO.
operation with the county agents
and interested grain dealers and
growers, and this project has made
remarkable progress as shown by
the large increase in the number of
bushels of seed wheat treated during
these past six years. According to
the surveys which have been con-
Quoted by County Agent Russell e.
Wilson regarding the results of this
campaign in Kent county, the guam
tity of seed wheat treated for smut
has increased from 4,800 bushels in
1925 to 41,840 bushels in 1880, re-
sulting in the fact that about 80
per cent of the farmers in this coun-
try are following this practice each
year.
The recommendations for treating
wheat have not been changed since
this smut control work was started
six years ago, in that it is being ad-
Vised that either of the dust mater
ialS be used at the rate of two oun-
ces to each bushel of seed. The dust
disinfectants which are on the mar
ket today include copper carbonate,
coppercarb, sanOseed and ceresan,
either one of which will give salts
factory control of this disease if the
wheat is treated in a revolving drum
or machine where the dust may be-
csme thoroughly distributed over the
grain.
AS wheat treated with any one of
these dust materials may be placed
in storage and kept from now until
seeding time without any injurious
results to the termination of the
seed, growers are advised to treat
their seed wheat just as soon as
possible after it has been threshed,
and then it will be ready to plant
without the trouble and the limited
time of treating it just previous to
seeding. In addition to the control
of the stinking smut, another adVan-
tage of treating seed wheat early in
the summer is to prevent the Wee
vii and mice from damaging the
grain.

Unfortunately, we cannot always

we ought to be able to dispose of

SWEETCLOVER SPREADS

Tremendous expansion in the use
of sweetclover has occurred on Corn
Belt farms in the last 10 years, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. In the early days it was
used mainly as pasture or as a
means of restoring fertility to soils
that had been depleted by long
continued cropping with corn and
small grain, but at present it is well
established as a regular crop in the
organization of farms in many sec
tions of the Corn Belt. Its outstand-
ing value as a pasture and sOil-im-
proving crop, the relative cheap
ness of seed, and the ease with
which it may be fitted into estab-
lished cropping systems have all
contributed to this widespread use
of sweetclover.

CHED tear for Floyd William
~ son, state auditor; Bill Storen,
state treasurer, and George Cole,
state superintendent of public in
struction.
Some big. bad boogie man is try
ing to scare them-and they are SO
frightened.
1t must be terrible to work so
hard for your friends that your Job
is being threatened, but, anyhow
they tell me that some one indus
trlously is spreading the repo~+ that
the anti-McNutt group is prepar-
ing to place candidates in the field
against the above trio as a retalia-
tory measure for their perfervid
espousal of the McNutt for Governor
cause.
Perhaps this is why Cole has an
Office full of girls recomro ended for
state jobs by various representatives
and senators; and Williamson is
preparing to ask the state budget
committee to increase his staff of
gas tax field auditors from five to
twelve.
These deserving Democrats have
to be taken care of"
Rarely has it been the policy of
any party to oppose the renomina-
ton Of incumbent state officials
holding two-year terms.
1t has been foregone conclusion
that holders Of such Offices are en-
titled to two terms.
OF course, if Frank Mayr Jr. seeks
the governorShip, he, like the dog
with the bone, must drop one to
grab the other.
But in the case of Williams,
Storen and Cole, there really is
nothing to fear.
The entire affair appears to be
a movement on the part of their
friends to attract the attention of
McNutt and his adherentS to the
great sacrifices being made by the
trio in his behalf.
Whoever is responsible for the
plan shows little political sagacity,
for, after all, by calling attention
Of the Mayr-South Bend group to
the fact that such movement could
be inaugurated, the way is opened
to it becoming an actuality.
1t would be very good joke in
deed if this would occur.

report on conditions in the Harlan
county coal fields, was in hospital
here today, with a bullet wound in
his left leg, inflicted, he said, by
three men who ordered him to leave
Harland and not return.
Israel said he was taken from the
Harland court house by the three,
forced into car and brought to
the county line. Ordered out and
told not to return. He asserted they
fired at him as he started down a
path.
Limping to the highway, he OBJ
tanned a taXicab and was driven
here. The bullet imbedded itself
above the knee. Despite loss of
blood, he was improving today.
Several weeks ago another news
paper man was shot, Bruce Craw-

ticles on the labor situation near
Harlan, where bloodshed has oc-
Cured as a result of animosity be-
