WHEAT TREATMENT SURVEY

In connection with the treatment
of seed wheat for the prevention
and control of smut, a survey has
been completed by Kent County
| Agent Russell E. Wilson regarding
the number of bushels of wheat
treated this fall by the farmers in
Kent County, and the estimated acre
age which was sOwn with treated
seed.
Although some farmers use the
fOmaldehyde treatment for this dis
ease, in recent years most of them
have been treating their seed wheat
with dust disinfectants which are
more convenient to apply and are
also less dangerous to use from the
standpoint of injuring the germina-
tiOn qualities of the grain. The dust
materials which have been in COM
mon used during the past several
years include COppercarb and Cere-
san, each of which has given salts
factory results when applied accord
ing to recommendations.
According to this survey of the
quantities of these dust materials
used, farmers in Kent County treat
ed 26,440 bushels of seed wheat this
fall, This quantity of seed was suf-
ficient to plant approximately 1880
acres, or 1875 per cent of the total
wheat acreage of the county
This project has been included in
the extension program of work in
this county for the past twelve years.
with the result that treating seed
is now a practice which is being
followed by the majority of wheat
growers because they realize its eco I
lOmie importance in the production
1f clean wheat. Each year, however,
here are many farmers who do not
ireat their seed wheat for the reason
hat no smut was prevalent in the
crop the previous season, and they
ire assuming that this disease will
lot reappear in so short a time.
AS It has been proven. however,
nat smut may make its appearance
wen when only clean seed has been
lsed, it is a matter of safe insur-
nee to treat the seed each year, as
he cost is very nominal compared
With the possible risk of a diseased
rop and dOckage upon the market.
The 1885 agricultural census
tates that the average yield of
Iheat in Kent County is 17.2 bushels
er acre. and there is a possibility !
his yield may be increased material
as this smut becomes reduced, &
lr even a small percentage of this
isease in the wheat crop seriously I
fleets the yield. s

THE MANY PAY
FOR THE FEW

In recent address, l.. L. Camp
! bell, former executive assistant to
the chairman of the Tennessee Val
ley Authority. said that the develop
ment is a failure so far as providing
a ''yardstick" with which to mea-
sure electric power rates is con-
cerned.
III the sO-called yardstick princi-
pie means anything, it means that
iva as a public agency, would gen.
crate and sell electricity at a rate
that would return, not only the ac-
tual cost of iva, but that would al
so cover those cost factors that are
inescapable by private utilities, such
as interest on investment, deprecia-
ton, taxes and the like he stated.
Amy other method of measurement
would neither be fair nor honest.
TVA rates do not cover the interest
on its investment. depreciation and
other like charges. e. Under the thin
guise of navigation and national de-
fense il is Haunting the spirit if
not the letter of our Constitution, by
building super-electric empire.
Dominant and dominating. unac-
cOuntable, it means that millions of
tax money is being used to place in
jeopardy the honest investment of
thousands of our citizens"
Mr.. Campbell cited figures to the
effect that the public treasury has
put up 5S cents for every AZ cents
paid by a resident of TupelO, Missis-
sippi, for iva power, and said this
town is typical. In other words,
the rate charged for iva power
to only 80 per cent of the /
true cost, according to MIR. Camp /
BELLS analysis, with public subsidies |
accounting for the balance.
All of this squares with what /
others have said about the iva.
newspapers and econ
lmists have time and time again de-
icribed the sO-called iva yardstick
IS being completely inaccurate and
The chief virtue of such
yardstick seems to be that it is a
levice whereby the many can be
made to pay for the few. !
II the proposed Tennessee Valley
lower pool. suggested by the Presi-
lent-in which iva and private
Utility resources are to be combined
nd the business equitably divided /
8 to be success, the crooked yard
tick must be changed to an honest /
rod and the whole struc-
lre of the iva must be reformed
nd put ON a business, instead of a {
Olitical basis.

sun OIL NOTES

A novel and somewhat unique idea
in newspaper advertising was recent-
/ ~ expressed by Mr.. R. Wier, Jr., the
/ Sun Oil COmpany's district manager,
Il buy my paper for the news It
contains" re argued, so why
shouldn't advertising be as timely as
4 the stories which appear in the news
columns? Anyhow. that is the idea
behind the Sun Oil Company's adj
vertising campaign on SunOcO BOW
motor oil.
Now look. If Americas eleven
leading makes of cars were all froz-
en- to below zero in a giant refrig4
orator, and then started in the aver
age time of four-fifths Of second
with the help of SunOco 20-W mo-
tor oil, isn't that good news for the
average mOtorist? We think it is.
Almost every motorist has known
what it means to step into his car
on a shiVering cold night, touch the
starter and have nothing happen.
The motor just slowly grinds and
groans away all the power in the
battery without any sign of life.
That's because the car has the
wrong motor oil in the crankcase.
This oil gets stiff and thick when
chilled and puts such a drag on ali
moving parts that the starter can't
whirl the motor into action. But
SunocO 20W oil changes the entire
situation by being freeze proof. 1t
remains liquid as low as twenty de-
grees below zero and always allows
the starter to spin the motor SO the
gasoline can snap it into action.
That's what we think is important
news to motorists and where else
should be advertise such good news
b utin newspapers?"
