jang the seed with Dopper' Carbonate

The Loose Smut of 'Wheat is more
,con>lmrron than the average farmer re-
.a,lizes due to the 'fact that most of
this smut has blown away long be-
fore harvest time. Loose 'Smut is
,peen in the !field just as soon as the
crop begins to head out. Pt destroys
math the grain and the Chaff, chang-
ing them to black' powder. The en

black smlut. These .smut masses are
broken up and blown away by the
+grind, the only remaining evidence at
Harvest time being the naked central
.axis • of the head. Loose Smut of
Wheat cannot 'be prevented by treat-
ing. with Copper Carbonate Dust or
For-malin. The most practical meth-
ead is to secure seed from a field

Formalin Treatment for !Stinking
Smut
This method may be used for the
control of Stinking Smut in wheat
but is not as safe or as satisfac-
-tory as the Copper Carbonate Dust
treatment. In using :the formalin
treatment some farmers have experi-
enced injury to the !geriuination but
Ynmh of this injury is due•. to care-
lessness in treatment. The correct
mixture is one pint of formalin mix-
ed with 40 gallons of water and this
;amount is sufficient to treat 60 bushels
of grain. Each farmer knows the
'number of (bushels of wheat he is go-
ing 'to sow, therefore, it is a simple
!smatter to determine the correct
,amounts of formalin and water to
use. The formalin solution is ap-
plied with a •sprinkling can and, the
grain should be shovelled several
times in order to thoroughly m'ois'ten
each grain. The treated pile of grain
should be covered with bags or' burlap
for three to four hours. .Leaving it
,covered Much longer than this will
result in injury. The grain should
then be spread out (thinly to dry and
it is advisable to shovel it over three
oar four times to hasten drying. Sow
'the seed as soon after treatment as
:possible.
'•The Copper Carbonate Dust Treat-
ment for Stinking Smut
This treatment is the safest and
• r000s't satisfactory for controlling
'Stinking Smut of Wheat and is the
only treatment which can be used for
Witless Oats. This dust should be
.(applied at the rate of 2 to 3 ounces

'Having obtained the necessary direc-

tains to find this lonely man, and af-
ter an hour's trek reached his place.
In the yard I found his servant, to
whom I communicated my errand.
The servant disappeared into the
house, and did not return. I waited
for some Minutes. and 'then shouted.
After a time a lady (who proved tel

her that I wished to see the .inealter_

more waiting, the man himself final-
ly appeared and demanded to know
what I wanted. As he drew near I
stooped and pot 'my hand into my bag,
drew out ,an Armlenian New Testa-
ment, opened it • and showed it to

that it was many years since he had

thanked me for coming such a long

that my cool reception in the first

Biggest Canal is in Russia
What is ,said to be the biggest can-

(Paris), as reprinted in lefagazine Di-
gest.
The '4Bie1 tnorsky-Baltiisky Kanal,"
that is, the great waterway which
links the White Sea in the north with
the Baltic in the northwest, was cone
pleted in nineteen • months by the
Russian engineer, Serge Xyk, with-
out any foreign aid and with Russian
material only.

Household Discoveries
• A Laundry Hint
(When washing men's soft shirts
and collars time will be saved if
the collars are buttoned on- to the
buttons down the front of 'the shirt.
Then the collars are less likely to be
soiled 'by the clothes pins or line and
they will be together with the shirt,
when ready for ironing.
Use For Cold -Cream Jars
Cold cream jars, when well wash-
ed and scalded, make ideal containers
far fruit. canned tomatoes, etc., for
the children's lunch boxes. Radish-
es, well Chilled and wrapped in wax
paper, 'with a tiny salt shaker, are
also nice.
..New Flavor For Breakfast Eggs
For a'change from the usual break-
fast dish of fried eggs, try frying as
usualin a little butter—grating a lit-
tle cheese over the tops of the eggs.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover
pan and cook over a very moderate
heat until cheese is melted.
When Cleaning Fruit
'When picking over fruits such as
gooseiberries, etc., where there are
thorns, a pair of rubber gloves saves
the hands considerably.
For Worn Linoleum
'Old or worn linoleum may be made
like new again at little expense. Ap-
ply a couple of coats of paint and al-
low it to dry. Then dip a sponge in
same harmonizing color of paint and
put it on the linoleum in places—
marking the linoleum and giving it a
pattern. Finish with a coat of good
varnish. The linoleum will give
years more of wear.

This canal, to hich foreign
press has devoted but little attention,
is of capital economic importance to
the Union. 1, By eliminating the enor-
mous detout around Finland, Sweden
and Norway, it reduces the distance
between Leningrad and Archangel by
'brge-quarters and enables the Rus-
sian !Ships to navigate all the time
t'hrough Russian territory. It is of
great help to the shipping between
Archangel and all foreign ports, re-
ducing the navigation by more than
one-half, by which enormous savings
in time and money are effected.
For the northern districts of Eur-
opean Russia, and especially for Si-
beria, with its inadequate railroad
facilities, the new waterway is a
cheap and convenient means of trans-
portation
ransportation of their natural resources
and the subsequent export to Europe:
furs and fish of all kinds, coal, ores,
naphtha, lurrlber, etc. Finally, it op-
ens the door to prospecting, first, and
exploitation, second, of the enormous
natural resources of the Russian Arc-
tic.
The building of the Suez Canal
took ten years, that of the Panama
Canal twenty years. The work in
the sands infested with Egyptian
chlorosis and in the fever -ridden
swamps of Central America was ard-
uous. But no Iess arduous a task
was the construction of the Bielmor-
sky-Baltiisky, especially on the 145
mile stretch which divides the Onega
Lake from the White Sea: the poor-
est, most desolate and most unhealthy
part of the Karelian Republic, cover-
ed with swamps, ponds, innumerable
iakes, patches of sand and peat, and
forests which for the denseness of
their (vegetation might well stand in
the tropical jungle; a district coated
wig
ice from. November to April and
swept by violent snowstorms; in a
word, an unhealthy and inhospitable
desert, avoided as Much as possible
by the Karelians settled on the
shores of the Onega.
The first to conceive this idea was
Peter the Great. But his successors
Were not so keen and three centur-
ies later the great scheme still was
in its 'Baltic-41)nega stage.
Jn 1931, the problem was taken up
by the (Soviet government, as part of
its industrialization plan. However,
the original plan underwent import-
ant Changes. Instead of Peter's zig-
zag Iine, the canal was to be a per-
fectly straight line, a simplified solu-
tion, to be sure, '%tit imposed b the
prevailingeonditione. The canal had
to be built within a certain time, for
the sprestige of pie regime was at
stake. The engineer Xyk was not
given the time to make elaborate
•theoretical studies nor to proceed to
a thorough geological. survey of the
region. Like everything else in the
Soviet 'Inion, it was a matter of quick
decision and immediate execution.
Xyk had to start by training for
himself a staff of technical assistants,
ycrng men, physicists agronomists,
mining engjneeee, fresh graduated
from the various institutes, full of
good will and enthusiasm but com-
pletely ignorant of hydraulics.
The work started in December, 1931,
under unbelievably difficult co,idi;ions.
'the soil was frozen but tae water
gur'hed forth at every s't'roke of the
pick. The !Murmansk railway line
which was the only source for the
supply of hydraulic lime and other
building material, and of the food-
stuffs and other necessities of the
army of workers, was • threatened
with 'floods. Dams had to be built
and the soil drained, and finally they
were compelled to deviate •-about 70
miles of the line farther 'east. All
this greatly delayed the construction
of the canal.

with and protected by rubber.
These protected cords are built into criss-cross layers for
added strength, and are further protected at crucial
points by broad pads of live gum rubber built-in
between the plies to safeguard the cords from damage,
as shown in the photograph at the left. See for yourself
how blows on the tread or side-walls would lie
cushioned by these "shock -absorbers." There are 7 of
them—the 5 you see in the photograph and 2 on the
other side of the tire, Only Gutta Percha and Roadcraft
Tires give you this safer construction at no extra cost.
