SEED TESTING DEVICE
One pint of formalin will control
the smut on thirty bushels of seed
oats. The family of smuts which af-
fect the farm crops does much dam-
age. According to government re-
ports, the average loss over the en-
tire country to the oats crop is eight
per cent. In Blair county this means
20,000 bushels, annually. This loss is |
pended in growing this worthless
grain, to say nothing of the unpleas-
work of handling this useless
ant
crop.
The smuts spread by means of
spores. It is these spores that make
the black cloud of dust that follows
one through a badly infected field
They live over winter inside the hull
of the seed, and so infect the next
some way. This can be done by us-
ing a solution of formalin or form-

oats is being shoveled over. It should
be shoveled over several times while
it is being sprinkled so that the liquid
is equally distributed. The solution
should be applied until about a gal-
lon has been used per bushel of seed
treated. :
After the seed has been thoroughly
mixed, it should be shoveled up on
a pile and covered with old sacks or
blankets for several hours, or perhaps
over night. It should not, however,
be left long enough for the seed to
germinate. After being covered for
the above length of time, the pile
should be spread apart and shoveled
over from time to time so that the
grain dries out. The object of cover-

ing the seed before it dries is to hold
the fumes of the formalin for it is
| these fumes which kill the spores of
the smut. The barn doors should
not be left open or the oats in any
other way be exposed so that animals
will get at it.
Another method sometimes used is
to put the formalin solution in a bar-|
rel and suspend the oats in sacks lea- |
ving it there for at least ten minutes |
This method is practical although the |
former is usually used. Scab on pota- |
toes can be killed by using a pint |
of formalin to thirty gallons of water. |
In the case of potatoes the solution |
is usually placed in a barrel or some |
other container and the potatoes sus- |
pended for a period of two hours in
sacks. This should be done before the
potatoes are-cut.
