Child*, Georgia State College Of Agriculture Through the co-operation of the gpunty term demonstration agents, an datlmate has been compiled showing an average loss of ten per cent of the oat crop of Georgia due to loose smut. The forecast of the government monthly crop report for Georgia on June Ist was 16,416,000 bushels of oats. Figuring on this basis the loss to the state was 1,824,000 bushels from smut. This disease is caused principally by smut spores which are upon the seeds when they are planted. Any treatment which kills the spores upon the seed without materially injuring the seed itself results in a clean crop. The most economical and satisfactory treatment is the formalin treatment. Formalin can be purchased from any druggist at a cost of from 40 to 60 cents per pint. One pint is sufficient to treat from 76 to 100 bushels of grain. This formalin should be used at the rate of one ounce to three gal lons of water or one pint to 40-60 gal lons of water. Stronger mixtures than this may injure germination. Spread the grain in a thin layer on the barn floor and sprinkle with the diluted formalin. A common watering pot can be used for this purpose. Be sure that all parts of the grain are evenly and thoroughly sprinkled, then shovel the grain over several times until the seed are all dampened with the solution. Heap into a pile and cover with a canvas sheet or sacks to keep the fumes of the formalin within. The pile should stand for six to ten hours in this way, when it should be spread out to dry, stirring frequently until dry. Put Into bags that have been disinfected with the formalin so lution. The drill should also be die infected before sowing. tape to be gone through with. Get your display in line. That’s all. The Butts County Fair is rapid ly developing into the leading agricultural county fair in all Georgia. None fresher.

FOR EARLY SPRING CABBAGE T. H. McHatton, Prof. Hort., Georgia State College Of Agriculture For early spring cabbage the seed should be sown not later than October 1. When the plants are three to four weeks old transplant them. Do this again the following month if possible. Set into the field from December on for early springheads. In south Georgia it is customary to plant several weed in the hill in the open field in early October and thin when the plants have started growth. Generally speaking it is better, how ever, to transplant from seed beds.
