TREAT YOUR SEED WHEAT AND RYE Proper Seed Treatment Will Snvf- .Million* of Bushels of Wheat ’ and Kye. \ That Oaaa Not Affaet tha (toad Ov crop is lost through smut. Seed treatment with formalde hyde solution Is practically IrtO per cent efficient except in a few sec tions where the soil is badly pollu ted with smut spores. The formaldehyde treatment costs less than 5 cents per acre for ma terials and labor. To this must be added in extreme cases the cost of 20 per cent of the seed. grain, the germinating power of which may be destroyed because of seed Injury. ■ In every case the entire cost • of the treatment together with, pos sible seed injury is much less than, the value of the increased yield which it assures. Now that, because of world shortage, every bushel of "wheat and rye counts for more than ever be fore, the safe-guarding of the next crops of these grains against dis ease by the treatment of seed be fore planting is of greatest impor tance. says the United States de partment- of Agriculture. Depart ment specialists estimate that the average annual loss due to the smuts of wheat •and rye amounts approximately to 27.i00.000 bush els. This is equal to about 3 .1-2 per cent of the .entire^yearly wheat crop and is regarded as a conserva tive estimate, since only snyitted heads actually lost are considered. .The increased number of heads which healthy plants would have thrown out were hot taken into ac count. The loss to the billion-bush el wheat crop the" department hopes to see harvested'next year would, at nM-2.per cent, amount to 25.000.000 bilshels. With" wheat selling at $2 a bushel this would amount to an exceedingly’high tax on the farm ers of the country. Treatment of S«*od. Treatment of wheat against stinking smut is fairly easy; not ex pensive, and fully or* per cojit ef fective. The efficiency of the treat ment is.' in fact, practically 100 per cent in most of the wbeift growing regions. The percentage of effi ciency for the country as a whole, however, .is reduced hy the fact that in large lAgions in the Papif^ ic Northwest the soil is. polluted with smut germs to such extent that the -efforts of scud'treatment are_ negatived..- treatmant costs not to exceed f* cents an acr* for material* and labor. To, fhl* cost, howeyef, must be added thO cost of train, the germinating pow er of which may he destroyed by the treatment. This amounts at at the most to 20 per cent. In ev ery case the value ol^‘ the wTicat saved by treatment would amount to several times the cost pf treat ment. - , / ' . Statistics show- that the average annual loss of rye from smut Is About 1 per rght considerably less than the lose of wheat.

If Wheat Is grown in rotation with oats or after wheat, the stubble should be plowed -to a depth of at least 7 inches immediate ly after harvesting the preceding crop of grain. The ground should be harrowed within a few hours af ter plowing and cultivation with harrow, disk, drag or re^ler should b« given as necessary thereafter un til planting time. These operations are necessary to kill weeds, to set tle and make firm the subsoil, and to hiaintain a soil mulch on the sur face. the earlier the preparation of a sei-J bed for whet t Is - stalled The better the condition of the soil will Ih> at .planting time.
