Farmers have for years suffered heavy losses from this troublesome pest and have been great ly puzzled to know how to combat it. In spite of most careful treatment of seed, crops of winter wheat will very frequently appear with a large per centage of smut. Director Ira D. Car diff states that investigations at the State Experiment Station at Pullman, prove conclusively that smut which infects vvheut where seed has been carefully treated, comes very largely from smut pores which have been blown over the country in enormou3 numbers at threshing time. Dr. Hcald and. his assistants have shown ,that during the threshing sea son there is not a square inch of sur face out of doors that does not havo deposited upon it, thousands of smut spores. These spores drop under the summer fallow where they lie until the fall rains come. It is a common agricultural practice, as soon as the rains come about October 1st, to disk the summer fallow and immed iately seed the wheat. The disking turns under the smut spores where thev terminate at the same time the wheat sprouts and immediately in-1 fects the latter tnus resulting .in a large percentage of smut in spite of the fuct thnt the seed may have been carefully treated. Therefore, wheat which is seeded before threshing time, will be free from this danger and produce prac tically a smut free crop. If early seeding is impossible, very late seed ing is the next best practice and will result in very little smut as by this the smut spores which fell upon the surface (luring threshing time will have germinated and died. Early seeding, however, is to be preferred for true winter wheats as it results in a more vigorous plant, one less apt to winter kill and also affords a large amount of pasture. It has been proven by investiga tions at the Station, that if wheat is sown in October upon summer fallow which has lccn replowed, little or no smut will be produced. The re plowing turns the smut spores from the surface deep into the soil, with the result that when wheat and smut germinate, they are not in contact and infection does not occur. Best of all the entire abandonment of summer fallow i rnctice would el iminate very largely the danger from smut. There is little or no difference in the value of different methods of seed treatment, formaldehyde being as effective as Milestone (copper sulphate).

Tuxedo fans are always loyal to that one brand, superb and royal. They say, "What is the use of trying the other kinds, and sample buying? We know Tuxedo can't be beaten ; it's good as bread, when bread is wheaten; it keeps us all in cheerful humor, and makes of each an an ardent boomer; it with a blissful peace annoints us; Tuxedo never dis appoints us. It is the worker's one consoler, when Business, with its big steam roller, has run him down and left him jaded, with all his dreams and prospects faded. 'Tis then Tuxedo smooths the wrinkles, and to his sad eyes brings the twinkles, and braces him for future battles, down where the loom of commerce rattles." These fans are found in every station, in every trade and oc cupation; the able jurist and the baker, the boss of many a rolling acre, the butcher, as he sells his rasher, the banker and the haber dasher, the cattleman in far Laredo, yi all pin their faith to good Tuxedo. tOtifJk' l" OKKGONIANS SEE III CUES (Continued From Page 1) "nblic undertaking cf that fine qual ity. "I rejoice to come here as a repre sentative of the reunited Republican party. It is a party reunited because the great aims we have in view are so lofty that thev transcend all pos sibilities of a difference. We have a conception of paramount National needs. We are here as an historic party once more restored to efficiency to be an instrument of National ser vice, and I am glad to be the spokes man of the party, not only reunited but reconsecrated to its ideals and traditions. "We have occasion at this time to think of the imperative demands of a new period in the world's history. This '20th century is not to be like the centuries that have passed. Europe is finding itself in the midst of an awful conflict. America must find itself if it shall permanently prosper and vindicate free instiutions when it fao es in commercial rivalry a new Eu rope. "You must not suppose we are to have nn easy time in this country after the European war ends. We ar? t have one of the most difficult pe riods in our history, because of the severity of the competition which we are then sure to meet. Rut, before I snc:'k of that. I want to speak of some of the fundamental concerns which should engage our attention. We came into this hall tonight to the air of our National anthem. We never hear it, but we are inspired with patriotism. Do you reflect what that flag means ? It does not mean mere wealth of re sources. It does not mean merely an admirable constitution system; it means fundamental and human 'broth erhood organized for the purpose of bettering human life. If we are to conserve our prosperity and assure our future we must take account of the fundamental necessities of our progress. There are sqme who think of America divided into classes. There are some who think of America as a place of agitation of conflict be tween classes. Of course, there will always be contests and there will al ways be differences of opinion; but if I thought that America meant a war of classes and a clash of inter ests, I should despair of the future of America. We have here no concern of labor as distinguished from the concerns of capital; we have no con cern of capital as distinguished from the concerns of labor. We have a great co-operative enterprise; and if we are to succeed we must recognize not simply for the purpose of eco nomic efficiency, but with deference to the ideals of brotherhood, that we are fellow workingmen, and insist up on common justice to all concerned. "We must get over the idea that it is impossible to adjust matters that concern real grievances. Any real grievance can be adjusted by a calm, patient and resolute examination of the facts. There is nothing so seri ous that it cannot be composed if we are desirous of doing the right thing and are willing to take account of the facts as they exist. "We must have in this country, if we are to succeed prosperity, protec tion for our women and protection for our children. ... "We must have a long look ahead. It is not a question of the next ten years or the next 25 years; it ia a question of the policy which will make us and keep us a great people accord ing to our ambitions. We must pro tect the future of the race by protect ing our children throughout this land from exploitation. We must advance every possible means of education. We must have more vocational training than we have hitherto had. We must have opportunities for refreshment and recreation; because America can not succeed unless America is reason ably contented. The American work ingman must feel that in prosecuting his daily work he is a faithful friend of the country in furnishing produc tive enterprise."
