CONTROL OF SMUT :
SHOWN FOR GRAIN
Three Methods Available for North
Carolina Farmers, Plant
PathOlOgist Says

College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 3
Three methods of controlling smut
in small grain are available to North
Carolina farmers, according to DR..
Luther Shaw, extension plant patho-
logist at State College.
They are: planting disease-free seed
treating infected seed, and planting
seed of a smut-resistant variety (this
last applies to oats, but not to othe4
small grains.)
Wheat, barley, and other small
grains can be protected from the dis
and the second is the better of the
two, DR.. Shaw stated.
Theoretically, planting disease-free
seed should be the best way to keep
down smut, he added, but in practice
it is hard to keep the seed from be-
ing contaminated from diseased seed
or from threshing machines.
There are two general kinds of this
disease, loose smut and covered smut,
and each requires a different type of
treatment. The treatment also va
ries with the kind of seed.
To treat wheat for loose smut, i'm
merse the seed for 10 minutes in
water heated to a temperature of
129 degrees fahrenheit. immense
Barley seed Is minutes in water at a
126-degree temperature
Covered smut may be controlled
with the aid of a fumicidal dust.
Wheat may be busted with IL ounce
of ethyl mercury phosphate dust to
each bushel of seed, or to 2 1-2
ounces of copper carbonate dust $50
per cent copper.
Covered and black loose smut in
barley may be erradicated by dust
ing each bushel of seed with IL ounce
of ethyl mercury phosphate dust or
three ounces of formaldehyde dust
A detailed discussion of smuts and
methods of treating seeds may be OBJ
tanned in pamphlet form from DR..

EFFORT TO LOCATE
NEW FRUIT TYPES
Farmers and Orchardists Appealed
to by State College HOrticul-
ture Department

College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 3-An
appeal to farmers and orchardists to
help locate new varieties of Suit
has been issued by M. E. Gardner,
head of the horticultural department
at State College.
Many chance seedlings found from
time to time are superior to some of
the standard varieties, or they may
be better adapted sto conditions pre-
vailing in the locality where they are
found, Gardner stated.
Such discoveries are valuable in
the development of the fruit indus
try, he added.
The horticultural department and
county farm agents will be glad to
help any grower determine the COM
mercial possibilities of any chance
seedlings discovered and reported.
The development and propagation
of new varieties means a great deal
to the advancement Of the fruit
growing industry, Gardner continued.
He urged growers to examine their
trees and seedlings. If they find
what appears to be a different varie,
ty with good possibilities, they may
be able to sell it for good price.
Recently a farmer in Mcdowell
county discovered a red Seeding an
pie which natures around July 1 in
the foothills. A large nursery has
offered him an attractive sum for the
sole right to propagate it.
A few days ago Gardner received
an apple Seeding from Eumberton
that has given nrOnoiSa rs nrod,,oino
good fruit and yielding large crops
every year. Other varieties in that
section fail entirely some years.
From Polkton came specimen ap-
pies of a tree that had been grown
from Seeding found 20 years $50
in the Mt. Vernon Church grove. It
is late variety, of good flavor, and
may be kept until after Christmas
without difficulty. 1t appears to have
a good future, Gardner said.

New York, Oct. SIT is a strange
and distAI bins eApei fence to see a
town in ferme;it OF excitement over
something which Goes not move Won
at AL I mean the World Series base
ball games.
This morning TIE elevator boy in
my apartment asked cheerily:
Who do you tEink will wiz? ?"
Il don't know" I said. But after
Toledo the Whites should have a
clear path 10 Madrid"
He looked blank. Then a pitvine
CLEAN came into his eyes, He sighed
Il was talking about baseball"
For moment I felt somehow Gull
pable; had subtly offend this Plea
SAINT young man. do not know whv
1t should be so, but there turks an
implied slight in disclaiming obsession
with that which absorbs and elates
and disturbs other people. They feel
that you are deliberately affronting
their gods, casting doubt upon the
validity Of their emotions
OF course, when I reveal an I'M
limited ignorance of baseball and an
absolute lack of concern with the out
come of any World Series, I am do
ing nothing that ought to offend any,
one. l am sorry I don't like baseball:
Heaven knows, there are few enough
things on this earth 10 make a man
toss his hat in the air or a bottle at
an umpire.
Along Broadway I saw shiftyeyed
little men-the same ones who hand
out passes" to dubious dance halls
scalping $3.50 tickets to the ball park
for $40 each. The mob seems to have
bought up the market and to have
realized an extortionate profit on re-
sale.
A friend said: "Why don't you at
tack rackets like that?"
Well, of course, deplore them as
I deplore the sale of all fraudulent
merchandise Gncluding ideas which
are full of high-sounding phrases
such as Social Justice, ideas, drum
hollow. But it is difficult to become
very indignant when a man parts with
$40 instead of $3.50 to see a baseball
game My indignation would drift I'M
controllably backward in the trans
action until I was sore at the World
Series officials for charging the poor
fellow as much as $780, That sum,
too, seems incredibly steep.
So you see, I'm hopeless. Baseball
has for me a vaguely sterile associa-
ton. 1t has a this-is-where-I-ca
monotony. All baseball players look
alike in their photographs and most
Of them have four or five consonants
in their names. If they aren't named
Foxx they are called Dizzy or Daffy.
I don't object to consonants in
names; my own ends in a pair. But
I contend that when you have seen
one baseball player you have seen
them ali. He is tallish, with bony
cheeks and leathery skin. He walks
with a swagger and spits tobacco
juice from the left side of his mouth.
His pants are too baggy for him to
| run comfortably and they are soiled
with a sort of alkali dust-not the
fine clean mud of a gridiron.

ANSWERS

1. The records of the Old Capitol
Prison, and of the War Department
have been searched, but no charges
of any kind have been found. The
order for his arrest, which came di-
rectly from President Johnson, gave
no reason. No other papers connect
ed with the cases give any reason, nor
does the order for his release give
any reason.
2. There were 2,2O7 on roll as of
June 80, 1884, the last fiscal report
The average for the year was 1888.
3. He not only did not allow plum
dering, but issued very strict orders
against it. At Smiths Plantation,
March 1, 1884, woman made com
plant that she had "been robbed of
watch, a black silk handkerchief,
a gallon of peach brandy and a
shirt" Orders were given that every
Mans kit be Immediately searched
for the same"
4. Only one-New Bern. The popula-
ton of New Bern for 1880 was II, 981,
or 217 less than it was in 1920. The
population of the county, Craven, of
which New Bern is the county seat,
showed an increase over 1920 of All.
5. The supervising and operating
expense of the Caledonia Farm in
Halifax county for 1884 was $278,-
399.85; the Cary Farm, $9O,285.53; and
the prison camp farm@ $1OS ,33 "a,
Total $476,024.32. Included in the
above was charge for prison labor
of $147, 94176.
6. Reports for the institution for the
year ending June 30, 1884, show that
| 1913 patients received treatment. There
were AS patients in the hospital at
