Farm- state are most familiar ae formaldehyde Crip ties originated many years ago Prof. ee Bolley of the North Dakota State college. He gives di for this treatment as follows: “To prepare the fo solution, use 1 pound of 40 per cent formaldehyde (16 ounces avoirdu- pois) to 40 gallons of water. For wheat, apply this solution in any manner just so the ly wet over the entire surface. Di; sprinkle and shovel, or run throug’ a dipping machine. Do not soak the wheat more than necessary to wet evenly. It takes approximately 1-2 to 3-4 gallon of solution for each bushel of dry wheat. Do treatment the day the grain is sown or at least not more distant than the afternoon of the day pre- ceding. Put the grain into the round while yet damp and swelled. Bo not dry before sowing. Har- that ‘dhe’ molature, wil be brought at moi wi well to the top so that the seed will germinate at once. Will Not Hasm Grain “Under such conditions, formal- dehyde solution of proper strength and quality will not harm the grain, but will give an increased yield over untreated seed even tho no smut be present on the seed. It prevents other troubles than smut. “With oats, barley and millet the re chit lodged in- ins are even-| Foi the| Tadiating from this old city, seed | time St.‘ Augustine, Fla., March 22— striking demonstration of the in- fluence of the automobile in creat- Med toed fe A Bhar Paar Florida, and reveal a rich agri- cultural country. w Augustine up a new stretch of the Di way which leads down thi ida east coast to Miami.

The dust- ing of dry wheat, can be done at any before seeding, but the grain should be kept dry until planted. “Neither formaldehyde nor cop- per carbonate will prevent loose smuts of wheat and-of barley.

Barley and oats should absorb approximately one to fo of the solution per dry ushel. “To insure that the drill sows the correct amount of the moist swelled wheat, oats, or barley, the drill to sow eppron y peck more of swelled whe: half bushel more of oats or barley than is usually used of dry grain.
