' OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallls, Oct. 29. Farmers should think twice before mixing imlphuro with seed at the time of planting to prevent smut in grain, bolloves Hv P.( Bares, professor of botany and plant pathology at tho college. A California sulphur com pany is urging use' of sulphur for this purpose, asserting that it has evidence of its effectiveness. Sulphur as a means of smut con trol has not been given experimental trials in Oregon or in any part of the northwest, in the knowledge of Professor Barss. In most cases the treatment would be a failure in Ore gon, although it might prove a suc cess in certain parts of California ho thinks. ' Growers are warned against 'coming to the conclusion that, be cause In some lnstannces this meth od , seems to have produced favor able results in California, the treat ment would bo a success in Oregon. "Nothing 1 1s ' more (reliable than the old blue-stone method followed by ,the limo bath for control of tho wheat smut," says Professor Barss. "Especially as the cool weather ap proaches this method should tako precedence over the formaldehyde method, because of definite knowl edge that formaldehyde is not quite so effective in cold as in warm weather, and also results In a tend ency on the part of seedlings to be come somewhat weaker when condi tions for prompt germination do not' exist. J ' , ( "Blue, stono alone is not recom mended, as it produces serious ger mination injury unless followed by a lime bath. With this, however, tho -method, -Is. satisfactory.. .The 'presence ofx a vslight-.blue;stone de posit on the grains seems to pro tect against attackof soil ' fungi which sometimes Into in 'the season are active in causing the seeds to rot In tho soil whore germination Is slow'." j , "' I TERRORISTS PLAN NEW BOMB OUTRAGE CLEVELAND, Oct. 29.

Carter, Noy.J'7.) s , Tho Red Cross nurso has been tho ministering angel to tho woundod and sick in tlmo of war. But why should tho good offices of the profession of nursing bo limited to tho aid of humanity after disaster or Illness occurs? Isn't It an equally important thing to prevent killing and maiming of men and wastage from disease? By treaties and the establishment of general international relations on new lines, the governments of tho world are seeking to prevent the deliberate destruction atnd crippling of human bejngs by re moving the possibility of war. The spirit of the day is to make the world better and safer for mankind. And if war can bo rendered imposs ible, or a romofo possibility, why complimentary service of. prevent ing or minimizing tho Ills that afflict humanity in Us normal, every-day life? Tho answer to tho question last stated is that it can be done; and tho new Red Cross idea Is to apply the lessons of war to the exery-day life of the people, to the end that the scorges of disease shall not, in the future, reap tho harvest of lives and cause the terror and suffering that they have in the past. Tho prevention of war is being sought through the removal of the causes of war; and the peace-time fight which the Red Cross already has started against the disease is dir ected to the removal of the causes of disease. The one Is no more idealistic no more Impossible of accomplishment than the other. Looking ahead, theAmerican Red Cross Department of Nursing pre pared to inaugurate its campaign to improve the health conditions of the country even before the -war work drew to a close. Now its tremen dous energies are cpneentrated on a program of peacetime service that would have been considered stupen dous a few years back, when the force which events have turned in to now channels had not been mob ilized. As a result thousands and thousands of Americans already have better knowledge than they .ever before had regarding the pri mary rule's of health, the nurse of experience has 'found a fresh mis sion, to toll the? people how to be healed through right eating, right sleeping and right Hying generally. The rural communities are being or ganized for health, with the Red Cross community nurse as impor tant a functionary in the new order of things as the town marshal or the selectman. , If you, Mr. Man and Mrs. Woman, think this campaign for health this great systematic fight against preventable diseases, is worth While, you can prove your interest by en rolling again under the Red Cross Banner November 2-11. Without such support ns tho American peo ple gave to their Red Cross in the tlmo of crisis In tho world war the (the mighty energies necessary to tho new task could not be effectively directed. With tho continued back ing of an organization such as al ready exists, effectiveness is assur ed the past has proved that.
