MacLeod The loss to Ontario farmers last year through smuts .and other seed- borne diseases is estimated at -slightly -under $4,000,000 says John . Mae. Leott, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture,. Toronto, This loss is to a large extent preventable end tan be control- led by treating seed graitr PreVIOUS to sowing Jul at a very small CM, Loose and covered sinnt of oats can both be controlled by using a "fifty, fifty" mixture of 1?ormalin and water, One pint of each is sufficient to treat 50 bushels of seed oats, Mr, MacLeod says, Loose smut of wheat and tile -com- mon or brown loose smut of barley cannot be controlled by Formalin as spores are carried over inside the seed and cannot be reached with a disin- fectant, When either of these smuts -are present, disease, free seed should be purchased. The Formalin solution recommend- ed for oats smuts, may injure the seed germ of barley, wheat and hulless oats, Ethyl Mercury Phosphate Dust has proven effective in controlling Stinking or Bunt Smut of wheat; 'the Covered Smut of barley, and the smuts of Oats. It also controls other seed- borne diseases and improves germin- ation, Direction in connection with the use of Ethyl Mercury Phosphate Dust should be read carefully and fol- lowed closely. For full information write the Crain, Seeds. and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agri- culture, Toronto, for their pamphlet on "Grain Smuts." Mr. MacLeod points out that pur- chasers of well-graded seed frequently rely on its quality and sow it without treatment. This should be discourag- ed as high quality seed showing a trace of smut may produce a "smutty" crop if sown under conditions favour- able for infection. "Treat your grain for extra gain,"" says Mr. MacLeod. The following poem was taken from the A.Y.P.A. Journal and composed by Miss Edith Ritchie. * * * * OUR JOB Until the War is over, Until the boys come home, Back from the Cliffs of Dover, Over a sub-free foam. .Many will be the heartache, • Many- the pain we'll bear, Until the War is over, Over, over there.
