What Seed Treatment For Planting Wheat Clemson, Nov. 8.—With new ma terials available for treating seed wheat, farmers are questioning whether to continue using the blue- stone treatment or change over to some of the newer materials, says W. C. Nettles, extension entomolo gist. The bluestone treatment will control the covered or stinking smut of wheat very effectively, but it kills some of the grains and also swells the kernels, he explains. No accurate information is available concerning the best methods of treating with bluestone. The copper carbonate treatment lias been recommended for .some time but was ne^br used because the material was rarely available and the dust affected the grain drills. The mercury dust treatment us ing ethyl mercury phosphate (New Improved Ceresan) at the rate of one-half ounce to the bushel of seed is growing in popularity with South Carolina farmers, according football game; and a hop in Alumni Hall that evening. A feature hitherto unannounced is an organ recital in the cadet chapel from 11:00 to 11:30 A. M. Lieutenant Colonel John Ander son, professor of civil engineering and chairman of the general com mittee for the celebration, will preside at the console of the new three-manual pipe organ just now being completed. Considerable satisfaction has been expressed by everyone con nected with The Citadel at the recent receipt of notification from the Association of American Uni versities that the military college had been placed upon the accred ited list of that association. The leading organization of institutions of higher learning in the United Ltates, it requires colleges on its accredited list to reach and main tain lofty standards of excellence iri all respects. Included items are, in part, quality and type of student body; qualifications of the faculty; sufficiency of library, laboratories, and academic equipment; adequacy and suitability of curricula; achievements of its graduates, etc. Following tentative acceptance by the Association last spring, the college underwent a detailed in spection about three weeks ago, just after which its accrediting was confirmed.
