INSMUTWORK
A. machine for treating seed
wheut with copper carbonale for
smut control, simple and inex
pensive as devised by (b'orge W,
Kuble.'agricultural engineer of the
O. A. t. extension service, can hi
mude on the farm In a few hours
It has u capacity of two bush-M
und will treat 15 tu in bushels an
hour.
Need for an effective method of
treating1 seed wheat for u rela
tively small acreage Is met in this
machine. Kor large :;cate produc
tion patent treating machines with
larger capacity may be purchased.
To be effective In killing the
spores of common smut on wheut
the copper carbonate must coat
every kernel, which requires some
sort of special machine.
The copper carbonate treatment
was Introduced Into Oregon by the
experiment slution and extension
service In l'J2l- It was proved by
fnrmcr-caunly agent di iuonstra
llons to he so successful that It lias
become an established practice on
large wheat farms of eastern Ore
gon. It Is being used more largely
in other parts of the stale as its
superiority ovef other methods be
comes better known. Only 125
acres were planted with copper
carbonated wheat in y:M( while
more than a half million acres
thus treated will be planted this
year.
Two ounces of the dust are re
united for. each bushel of wheat.
This kills the smut spons with
out damage to the prain. allowing
r per cent less seed, giving the
young seedlings a quicker start,
ml permitting storage of treated
seed .without damage. Too heuvy
applications will' cause the dust
to accumulate in the drill, and
may cement and caue damage tu
tho machinery, ,
The material should contain not
lesi than 5u per cent copper, fine
enough thut most of it will pus
through n 2ot'-mcsh serevn. about
as fine as 1'orlland eeimnr. Many
brands nre on the- market.
A bulletin telling how to rna.k
the treating machine may b- had
on application to the local county
agent or to the extension srvivt:
of the college ut forvallls.

!; Down in Panama the San Dins Indians have set up Hi.'
jKoiwblic of Tala with formal notice to the president of!
.Panama and tho American minister of their declaration'
.of .independence. This isolated tribe knows nothin-r of the
"now freedom" hut has not forgotten nor does it intend
to forget the old freedom. The Republic of Tala came into
.existence the morning after blood had been spilled in a
:dash between the native Indians and some Panama planters.
The chish was brought about by gradual encroachments by
Pauamans and Americans upon the rich country of lha
San Was tribes.
The country of the San I'.lasians extends from the Sal.
P.las coiisl to the liorder of Columbia. The natives live
in thatched houses raised on stilts. Their only contact with
civilization is on their humeri tiips to the markets at Colon.1
They have avoided intermarriage with either the blacks cr
whites and for cenluries have defied subjugation by the
Spaniards and later by Columbia and Panama. Visitors to
their jealously guarded radm have not been welcome.
1 lilt rich timber tracts, valuable mineral deposits and
verdant savannahs for cattle glazing have bioughl the
Patiamau and American planters into the country. Tl;
I'oivigners took possession on the excuse that a rich country
was being wasted on savages. The San Hlas Indians killed
Mime of the interlopers on the excuse that it was theii
country to do with as they chose.
Police from the Panama Canal Zone and a I'nited States
cruiser are now at the scene of the massacre. The outcome
will le that the natives will transplant their new republic
into the unexplored interior and the ramheis will remain
in possessions of their timber, mines and pastures.
