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

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.
