This gigantic loss from snwit Is a living universal treatment for smut -the usual vltroll or blue--tum treatment- Is not nlwnys effec tive and can not bo relied upon. Wlmt Smut Is. To successfully hnmllo tho smut problem one should thoroughly un derstand tho naturo and dovelopmont of the smut plant. In Dullotln No. 54 Of the Wmhlnctnn ctnfn nrtiort. Wnt station, Prof. R K. Dcnttlo de scribes the smut plant as follews: "Tho disease wo commonly call smut Is produced by a smnll plant which lives upon tho wheat plant and steals Its food from it. Tho flno black powder called smut Is made up of n multitude of small grains, each of which may grow into smut plnnt If placed undor tho proper conditions, "When a grain of whent la planted with a live smut grain on it, both of them soon germinate Tho grain of wheat produces n wheat plant; the iirnln of smut produces a smut plant. Tho smut plant produces small color less grn'ns which at onco grow Into other "mut plants. Thus from one original black smut grain sevornl unint plantB may soon come, Ono of those plants bores Its way through tho tlB.io of tho stalk. Hero It lives for tho rest of Its liro. growing up with tho stnlk and stenling food from It. But only whon tho wheat's skin Is soft and young can tho smut pene trate About tho time that tho flrsti green leaf unrolls, the skin gots hnr-1 nnd from then ono jenn not bo pone-' tratod by tho smut. It tho whoat hns not boon attacked by thts tlmo it Is safe. If, howovor, tho smut ha" succeoded in ontertnlng tho whent stalk tho injury is done nnd tho wheat will suffer, Whllo growing up with tho Btn'k during tho winter and spring It checks tho growth of tho wheat straw and makes tho smut ted plants noticeably shorter than the round onos. Whon tho whent bend forms, tho smut plant Bonds IU brnnches Into It nnd taken up tho nlant food as fast as It In doposltod In tho kernels. Thoro It places Its own grains nnd thus provides for Its next year's growth." Prom this description of tho smut plant It It ovldont thnt tho disease may be attached In two ways: (1) To treat tho seod wheat with some thing thnt will rotnrd tho gormlnn lou of the smut grains until the whent nlnnts have dovnlonnd skins that nro too tough for tho smutJ nlnnts to enter: (2) to trout tho eed with somethlnt: thnt will KILL tho mut itrnlns, thereby removing nil pos-lblltv of Infection.

Whllo tho formaline 4roatment for "mut Is not n gonorol use, It la vnr? superior to tho vltrlo! or old method of treating thedseaso, It has been nrnullv tested by several of the ex rterlmotrt stations and fouud verv ef flclent when tho " work H nronorly Meno, H kills tho smut Instead nf retarding tho growth It costs lltMo if nnv moro thnn tho vitriol ana tho nroresi Is Just as simple and as easily performed.

In other words, txit from men whom you know are hon it If tho solution Is too weak tho wilt will pot be entirely prevented and all of the troubli of treating the ec"4 may be for n&tilB?. Seed whMt should Irst be run through a good fanning mill with a good wind blaat to blow out all tho Bmut balls possible- The sacks used to put tho treated seed in should bo boiled or dipped Into tho formalin solution for n few minutes. Dins nnd floors Into which nnd upon which the seod H poured should bo treated with hol'lng water to bo sure that the seed Is not reinfected after It Is treated. Defora sowing tho seod tho drll should be cleaned with boiling wntor. Thoso precautions may seem unneces sary but it must bo romombored thnt smut grains aro flno dust and may be blown everywhere. Thoro are threo methods of treat ing grnln with formalin that wo wIbIi to consider. For nil of them uso n "olutlrT of ono pound of tho 40 per cent formaline to 45 gallons of water. Do not mnko it Btrongor thnn ono pound of formnlino to 40 gallons of water or you aro llablo to kill much of your wheat. Sprinkling Process. Sprend out 8 or 10 busbols of seed on a clean floor, snrinklo tho solu tion over tho grain wth a garden sprinkler, using about one gallon of water to each bushel of grain. Whllo being sprinkled tho grain !i shoveled vigorously1 to get the ovory kornol thoroughly wotted. It Is then cov ered with disinfected sacks nnd loft 'n tho pile fpr nt Ionst two hours. It may then bo sacked up and set nway to dry. For tho man who only has n small amount of seed to trot this Is a very satisfactory mothod for thoro Is llttlo waste of tho solution nnd If ho work la carofully dono It is ef fective. Snck Method. Most of tho farmers who uso for mnlln dip tho grain Just as it Is dono bv tho vitriol treatment. Tho boIu Hon 45 gallons of wator to one pound of tho formalin, Is placed In n bnrrol provided with a drain board. SomotlmcB a largo trough that will hold Eovoral sacks Is-iised Instead of tho barrol. Tho sacks, each contain ing nbout a buBhol of grain, are 1m morBod In tho solution for 10 min utes. Thoy aro thon sot on tho drain ing board nnd nftor dripping censon, piled up in a narrow pllo to dry. Thercls perhaps ono serious dofect In this and tho sprinkling mothod, viz, the smut balls that tho fanning mill fnlled to romovo mny bo brokon In handling tho grain nftor it is dried. in this way tho wheat may bo reinfected. TrentliiR Recti TOOw In Trfirgo Trough. Perhaps tho most offectlvo way to treat whoat with formallno Is to slowly pour tho seed Into tho solu tion In n Inrgo trough. Tho trough should bo lnrgo onough to treat 25 or 30 busholH at onco. Such a trough mny bo kopt by using It for n water ing trough whon not In uso for .this iiurpo-o. As tho wheat Is gently poured Into tho solution the nmut ballB, wild oats, and othor trash will float. These are skimmed off as tho whent Is poured 'nto tho solution i ims nrnrucniiy eliminates tun pos sibility of tho seod becoming rein fected nftor It hns been treated bv tho breaking of tho Binut bnllB that wero not soaked long enough to kill all of the smut grains In them. Ator tho whent ban been In tho so lution for eight or ton minutes, the olutlon 's el rn I nod on nnd the wheat thrown Into n heop on a clean floor whoro It llos for two hours covered with disinfected sacks or othor cov ering. In-tond of throwing tho treat od seod Into n heap It may ho sacked Inuupdlntely, placed on tho draining bonrdfl nnd then piled up to dry. Drying Mm Seed. Writers upon Jhls pubjoet usunlly say to loavo tho grain In tho sock or heap for two or moro hours and then sprend It out to dry on n floor or can ens that has boon cleaned with boil ing water. This Is much tho safest plan hut undor favorable conditions tho seod dries satisfactorily In thti snckH If piled so tho air can got through It. Farmers usually drv it la this way. Cnro must bo tnkou to ee that tho grnJn dries or It will heat In n few days nnd Its vltnllty seriously Injured. Tim one treating the seed must uso his own Judgment in this matter for undor somo condi tions It will dry properly In tl snck whllo undor other conditions It will not, If tho soil Is In condition to gormlnato tho seed Immediately it is FOUR GIRLS Restored to Health Jiy Xydlft-.K.
