Corn Smut Described By The County Agent Of the few 8?nuts for which no oecific method of control is known, the cofiVrooh smut of corn is the most teworthy. The disinfection of the n0.d fails to control this parasite, /or the reason that it lives over wln} ter in the soil, or sometimes in manure, rather than on the seed. . Durj,,jj thf gr?wlng season the germs of thc disease are carried by the wind /torn the soil where they develop to I the growing plants. Falling on the leaves, they are washed down on the young, tender parts in which they > cftll produce the disease later v on. * pleased "parts are always much swollen and are eventually trans! /erred into the soft masses of smutted tissue which produce the spores \ of the parasite. It has been claimed that spraying phi mi s is partially successful in ( eliminating corn smut, but no practicable method has been developed. ' Where tho farming methods are in| ^nsivo, as with sweet corn, the disI esse may be partly controlled by cutting and burning <11 smutted stalks. ' Rotations are advisable, for continuous cropping to corn undpubtedly increases tho losses from smut. Somewhat like the common corn Lsmut is the head smut. It occurs more freqeutnly on the grain sor({hum or on broom corn than on corn, but it is not common on either crop. It can not bo controlled by dlsinfec[ tion of the seed, says Henry D. Green, the county agent. notice of application for CHARTER Notice is hereby given that the undersigned will, after ?the expiration _pf three days from the date hereof, apply to the Secretary of State for .

Billings, Mont. Th? "ghost dance," R religious ceremony thut spread like wildfire among Indians of the northern and western plains and eifded In a bloody military campaign, still makes an occasional appearance in tribal gatherings. The history of lliq dance presents ,a strange commentary on an Indian attempt to appropriate tho benefits of a great Religious revival among many tribes, experts on Indian lore say. Dressed In long buckskin or bleached -mnsllm shirts, painted with tribal and Individual designs, the dancers carrlod the doctrine of a Piute Indian named Wovoka from NVovoka's homo In Nevada as far enst as Oklahoma and the Dakota*. Brownish red stains on their foreheads and at the root of their hair were supposed to make the dancers recognisable to any "good spirit" acting under tho (Ireat Father, Wovoka was regarded as an Indian Messiah, and many old Indians still believe his teachings' presaged the long-predicted overthrow of the white man's rule. Delegates from the northern Cheyenne, Dakota Sioux and Arnpnhoe tribes were Bent to consult Wovoka. They returned with sforles of the new faith. 'You must not fight. Do no harm to anyone. Do right always," they counseled. Yet from this pacific doctrine Issued an extensive military campaign In 1800. White settlers purportedly linked local disturbances with the "ghost dancers" and called for troops. Sitting Bull, one of the most respected Indian chief's, was killed when, one ' of his followers fired on Indian policemen delegated to arrest the unarmed leader. More.than 200 Indians were killed before troops restored pence. Despite the bloodshed the tribes clung to their belief In Wovoka. The dances are seen but rarely by white men, but close students of the Indians claim they Rtlll pray nnd hope for fulfillment of Wovoka's prophecies.

"flasks developed a bounty system for the eradication of coyotes, but cooperative ' paid-hunter work was dropped last year because of the lack j of money.
