These diseases, which are kernels, and the smut fungus pene- ameng the most destructive that at- tack cereal crops, occur to s greater or less extent in all the grain-growing sections of the ceuntry. There are two knds of wheat smut, the leese smut and the covered smut; the latter is also called bunt or stink- iag smut. Loese smut is found in practically every wheat fleld. It is most serious i the southern winter wheat section— southern Missour, southern Illinois, southern Indiana, southern Ohio, southern Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vir- ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. Threughout this general area the an- mual losses range from 3 to 5 per cent. In many individual fields losses of 15 te 20 per cent are kmown. Outside of this general region the damage due te loose smut ranges from about 1 to 2 per cent. . Bunt, or stinking smut, also is found ia the different wheat-growing areas of the country. Commonly, the dam- age done by this smut is from 1 to 5 per cent of the crop. Frequently, however, flelds show losses which range from from 20 to 40 per cent. Several fields have been destroyed in which the damage amounted to 50 or even 80 per cent. How to Distinguish Smuts. Loose smut shows up mest strikingly at the time when the wheat comes into Bead. The diseased plant is found to have the kernels and chaff replaced by Healthy Wheat Head and Smut Laden Head. a black, sooty mass of dustlike par- tleles. These dust-like particles, the spores of the smut fungus, begin to blow from the diseased head soon af- ter the latter emerges from the boot. These spores are carried by the wind to neighboring sound heads which are in bloom at the time; they lodge be- tween the glumes or chaff, where they start growth immediately and pene- trate the newly forming kernels. When these infected kernels are ripe they can not be distinguished from sound Kkernels, but they nevertheless contain the smut fungus. When an infected seed Is planted and germinates the smut plant within it also begins to grow and develops within the growing ‘Wheat heads infected with bunt are readily distinguished a short time be- fore the wheat is ripe, although the trates the young wheat plant. It con- tinues to grow within the tissues of Jhe wheat plant and forms its spores in the place where the healthy kernels should he developed. Control of Loose Smut. Loose smut is very difficult to con- trol because the fungus is inside of the seed which is sown and hence can not be reached by ordinary chemicals with- out killing the wheat embryo. The disease, however, can be controlled by the so-called hot-water treatment. The method involves soaking the seed grain in cold water for 4 to 6 hours. It is then dipped in hot water at a tempera- ture of 120 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes; the seed should then be spread out to dry. It is very important that the water be kept at the exact temperature and the seed immersed for just the cor- rect period of time. If the water is allowed to get one or two degrees the time prolonged beyond the 10 min- utes, considetable injury to the grain will result. The hot-water treatment, on account of its difficulties, is not practicable on the average farm. One must have an accurate thermometer and facilities for keeping the temperature of the wa- ter constant. This can be done quite easily where steam is available. The Control of Bunt Bunt, or stinking smut, is readily controlled by the use of formaldehyde. A simple procedure is to place 1 pint or 1 pound of commercial formalde- hyde in 40 gallons of water. The seed to be treated should be freed as much as possible from smut balls and other foreign matter, and should then be dip- ped in the folmaldehyde solution and kept there about 10 minutes. During this period the sack should be raised and lowered so as to stir up the grain and get it thoroughly in contact with us that Indigestion is Hyper-acidity, meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete di- gestion and starts food fermentation. caused by| _ BITTERNESS. *] g'pose a congressman has his » Thus everything eaten sours in the| troubles . stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the sotmach like a toy balloon.

One ness, inflamma- pint of formaldehyde solution, dis- ticns, conges- solved in 40 gallons of water, is suffi- cient to treat about 40 bushels of seed grain. Another method of applying the solution 1s to spread the grain to be treated on a clean floor, and by means of a sprinkling can sprinkle the solu- tion over the grain. The grain should be shoveled over in order to get the solution well in contact with the grain. The solution should be applied at the rate of about one gallon to one bush- el of seed grain. The grain should be piled up and covered with sacks or canvas and Jeft for two or three hours, It should then be spread out to dry and sown as soon as possible. After treating the grain, great care must be taken not to place it on a floor or in sacks which are contami- nated with the bunt spores, or to sow it in a drill which is contaminated. Bunt Problem of the Pacific Northwest. In the Pacific Northwest, bunt, or stinking smut, presents a very serious problem because of soil infestation in that region. During the thrashing of a smutted crop the smut spores are blown long distances over the fazllowed land, as summer fallowing for wheat infect the young wheat plants as they develop. On this account, seed treat- ment is not entirely effective; but, as a general rule, the copper sulphate tions and swell- ings with most excellent results but — it blis- tered.
