This observation does not re veal the true extent of damage, though in some fields the amount of smut is very noticeable. This obser vation is more true on the average year when the rainfall is not so plen tiful, when oats are shorter and not having so much vitality. It is on They are being cut and shocked sep arately. Both portions have been accurately measured. The oats will be threshed separately. A report on the same will be made later. The co- operators In this work were allowed to do the treating themselves, and this being their first experience they have secured good results.

Ask to see them. caused by a fungus. The smutted portion of the panicle contains mil lions of these fungus spores. The Ideas that the wet weather we have had. Is being freely advanced as the cause of so much smut. It Is the cause of you seeing so much smut, for the smutted heads are much tall er than on the average year. If this wet weather is the cause of smut, why do not the treated fields show as high a percent of smut as the un treated! Oat smut counts have been made on 118 untreated fields throughout the county, snd also on 16 treated fields. The count or percentage of smut Is determined by selecting at random ten different places In an oat field, where at each, 100 heads of oats are counted, keeping track of the smutted heads. These are re corded and the average of the ten counts taken. Thus you see it is no small work to have made counts on that many fields. The fields have been mapped and recorded for future work. In our demonstration work we have fields in which a part waa treated snd a part left untreated. Precinct Precincts No. Fields Pet.

They fully realize that they buy advertising serv ice as a wholesale selling agent, just as they em ploy salesmen. They keep their names and goods before the pub lie to make tales or cre ate a demand. They do this honestly or else they ultimately fail.
