inetof stinking smut
with its vile, fishy oder is well known
and dreaded on every _farm. Stinking
smut is a fungous disease. In tee
field, when the grain is in the milk
stage, the smut -tee steaks ean be de-
tested by their peculiar gray -green
color and by the slightly greater
spread of the epikelets. But the sure
test is to shell out the grain which,
when •stinking grelit hag ;falsest posses-

The Cause of the Disease.

pends upon our knowledge of the life

that the fanner understand this life
ettery perfectly. The puffy vain ef
stinking smut daies as the grain ma-
tures and becomes a light sznut ball

many of these belle are easily brok-

Wien wheat is planted the smut

danger time tor the wheat. Every
farmer has notieecl that some years

The Control of Stinking Smut.
, Sinee ,stinking smut is etteried to the
field in the grain, and gets in only in
the short period when grain sprouts
are znerginig, a method which will kill
the smut on the grain without injury
to germination of the grain will pre-
vent smut. In the early days the
fanners washed the grain and aot fair
control. Some used brine and re-
duced smut slighply. Then pickling
grain in cower sulphate or blue -
stone solution ;was introduced with
good succee.s in -smut...control, but with
bad effects Cal germination.
Finally, formaldehyde was discov-
ered to have -value for treating grain
and farmers were advised to soak
wheat in weak forma/della& soluticin
made with one pint of formaldehyde
in forty gallons of water, skimming
'off the smut 'balls whitish rise to the
top. Thia gives perfect control, even
• when the smuttiest -of 'wheat is treat-
ed If the treated ggain is dried and
planted at once it gives along with
this perfect control of smut little in-
juteg to germination.
This treatment has its -drawbacks.
• The 'grain when soaked is hard to
plant, and is traubles.ome to dry. If it
molds, sprouts or freezes it is injured.
It sows utevenly and often gives a
poor stand If held more than a short
time the formaldehyde -spoils the
geenlination.
Many farmers simply sprinkle the
.graiti with the weak formaldehyde
solution. This works etenost as well
ets the soak and skim method provided
the grain is .fanned be.foreatareatment

when the faU is sold and wet and the
