SMUr TREATMENT FOR SPIUNG WHEAT
Precautions against smut are prob
ably more important this year than
ordinarily. Large quantities of
spring wheat seed, especially -northern
grown, are being imported for
use in the state. These wheats may
be quite generally affected with smut
and as spring wheat is apt to be
am itty, it makes it doubly advisable
to treat the seed. The following
treatment is recommended:
To 40 gallons of water, add one
pint (pound) of commercial formalin
(standard 40 per centsolutionof for
maldehyde). Spread the grain on a
clean floor or in a wagon box.
Sprinkle the solution over the grain,
shoveling the grain over to make
certain that the solution comes in con
tact with all of the grain, then cov
er with old sacks, old blankets or
canvas and leave covered from 8 to
10 hours. The sacks, blankets or
canvas should be wet in the solution
before being used in order to kill any
spores that might be on them. After
treatment the grain should be spread
thinly and stirred occasionally to fa
cilitate rapid drying. It should be
dry enough before sowing so that it
will feed freely thru the drill. If
the grain has become swollen, the
feed on the drill can be opened to
off-set the swelling of the grain.
Tiie drill should be sprinkled thoroly
with the above solution before being
used.
SHORTAGE OF STRAW
Information received from Wash
ingnon by the agricultural extension
service indicates that there is a short
age of straw and that the straw pur
chased for use at the army canton
ments was high-priced. Ordinarily
wheat straw and oatsstrawis a drug
on the market and has very little
value except for bedding oj- fertili
zer purposes. The war department
naturally prefers to buy straw from
those who can furnish large quanti
ties regularly, but will undoubtedly
be interested in car load lots. In
many sections of the state consider
able quantities of straw can be fur
nished by farmers cooperating to
meet this demand thru their county
agents or the extension service.
Straw to be merketed must of course
be baled andof good quality.
DOZEN HENS IN THE BACK YARD
A bulletin written especially for
the town family desiring to make a
success of back-yard poultry keep
ing has just been issued by the agri
cultural extension service. "With
good management back-yard poul
try keeking is profitable, beceuse
considerable material from the kitch
en, garden and lawn can be utilized
for poultry feeding," says the bulle-
tin.
'The oririnal investment is
slight and labor is not an exoonsive
item. A flock of a dozen hens will
supply the avsrage household with
plenty of fresh eggs, with some to
spare at certain times of the year."
Just how to make a start in poultry
keeping is explained, with simple in
structions regarding feeding and
sanitation. Diagrams of poultry
houses are given. Reduest for Ex
tension Bulletin No. 49, "A Dozen
Hens in the Back Yard," addressed
to Bulletin Clerkf University Farm,
Lincoln, Neb,, will receive prompt
a.tention.
CROPS FOR HOME GARDEN
The home garden campaign for
1918 should be planned with a view
to the production of the largest
amount of food with the smallest
possible amount of seed wd fertili
zer, according to the department of
horticulture ofthe University of
Nebreska. Authorities agree that
the seed shortage is the worst
the country has ever seen and
the supply of ferterlizera and
manures is far below normal. As
the demand for these materials is
very great one must practice war
time efficiency in their use. Do not
order more seed than you intend to
plant and confine your crops to those
that are most useful for food and
which the chance of failure is least
to be feared.
SEED CORN EMBARGO RAISED
Feeling sure that every farmer in
Nebraska has been given ample op
portunity to secure a supply of seed
corn, the state council of defense
has now raised the embargo against
shipping seed corn outside of the
state. Every mail is bringing re
ports of needed seed in nearbystates
and the defense council does not feel
that it can longer retain the embar
go, in justice to the rest of the
Middle West.

J. J. Eimers, county federal food
administrator, has addressed the
following letter to all retail dealers
in Dakota coUnty:
Dakota City, Neb., March 14, 1918.
To all Retail Dealers in Dakota
County:
The use of potatoes as a flour sub
stitute is now prohibited.
The acceptance of - certificates
consumers stating that they have
the required amount of substitutes
for wheat flour is also now prohibit
ed. In makinir sales of whonfc flmir
the retailer must see to it that the
consumer at the same time purchas
es an equal amount of substitutes.
The purchaser from a retailer is not
entitled to any credit for wheat flour
substitutes bought elsewhere, or at
any other time. This ruling abso
lutely eliminates any sales by retail
ers upon certificates to the effect
that the purchaser has purchased
substitutes from other sources, has
cornmeal of his own grinding on
hand, or any similar certification or
showing. The 50-50 rule must be
rigidly applied to all. For every
pound of wheat fiour bought, the
consumer must at the same time,
and at the same place, purchase a
pound of wheat flour substitutes.
I am enclosing a card giving a list of
substitutes. Potatoes are on this
card as a substitute, but have been
removed from the list. All other
substitutes may be used. '
Hereafter you are to acceptjno ex
cuses, certificates or hard-luck sto
ries. For every pound -of flour you
sell you must at the same time sell
one pound of the specified substi
tutes. I have tried to make tins
very plain in order that you may
clearely understand that the 50-50
rule must be enforced.
Respectfully,
, J. J. Eimtrs,
County Federal Food Administrator.

The fastest basket ball game of

Dakota City, and at one time our
boys had a lead of 24 to 18. The
.final score was 29 to 30 in favor of
Rosalie. The Rosalie boys gave us
credit for giving them the hardest
game of their experience this season

a good record for the local boys all
