COMMUNICATIONS
WRITER HITS METERS
Editor The Journal:

] was very pleased to read your
editorial in regard to the parking
meters to be installed in Marys-
Vile for you have voiced my senti-
ments in the matter. | see no need
whatever for such meters in any
small town, and ii should be the
aim of the council TO encourage
and not discourage traffic and con-
Veniences which would tend to
bring business to Marysville. / feel
that there is no need what ever for
meter parking in Marysville with a
Well enforced parking regulation
liberal enough to encourage rath-
er than discourage the normal bus
mess of persons of the community.
/ do not feel that parking meters
will encourage the friendly spirit
of cooperation which should exist
between the village and those who
wish to transact their business at
MarySvile.
/ know in voicing these Senti-
mentS of many of those who have
the best interests of Marysville at
heart.

SMUT INFESTATTON
FOUND IN WHEAT

Some reports have been coming
INTO the Agricultural Extension
Office indicating there is some in
feStation of sinking smut, or bunt,
in wheat.
The Smutted heads are easily de-
tected. At harvest time the chaffy
parts of the heads spread out and
as the kernels develop, they become
darker in color When the kernels
are opened, black smut spores will
appear and present a peculiar odor.
This disease can be controlled by
first cleaning the seed, then treat
ing it with New Improved Ceresan
dust, used at the rate of u ounce
per bushel of seed. The wheat
be left in a stack or pile for at
least one to two months before
sowing. Treated wheat is poison
Gus to livestock and should not be
fed or sold.
1t is the opinion of County
Agent d. B. Robinson that where
infestation is known, new certified
seed wheat should be purchased.
