NORTHERN INDIANA GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY 105 N. 3rd St. for”the Tarmer s Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Prof. Gregory, of Purdue, in the County Next Week. Prof. Gregory, of the plant disease department, of Purdue university, will visit Adams county on next Wednesday and Thursday for the purpose of assisting the county agent in treating some seed for "loose smut”, using the "hot water treatment”. This disease was present, in Adams county in large amounts this year and for that reason demonstrations of the method of controlling it have been planned. On Wednesday a meeting will be held at the Hillsdale Cheese company factory, located 3 miles north of Decatur. Considerable seed wheat will be treated and , the details explained. On Thursday the work will be done at the condensery in Berne. The- work is being done absoluely free of charge and those interested are urged to attend. HOT WATER TREATMENT OF SEED WHEAT Some Attention to Seed Wheat Now May Effect Large Saving. . There are two chiefs kinds of smut which effect wheat. The 4irst kind. [ “stinking smut” effects only single . wheat kernels, causing them to be filled with smut spores or smut dust. The odor of the smut spores causes the smut to give the characteristic . name. The treatment for “stinking smut” is comparatively simple. It is curried out as follows: Mix one pint of 40 i per cent formaldahyde with 4 gallons of water. Wet or sprinkle about 40 to . 50 bushels of wheat witii this mixture. , This can best be done by having one person shovel the wheat over while the other sprinkles the formaldahyde solution on with a sprinkling can. The grain should be piled up and covered with blankets or sacks and left for sor 6 hours. This causes the fumes of the formaldahyde to pass through the wh’cat and kill the smu’t spores. The treatment is perfectly sate, it being impossible to kill'the wheat germ with formaldahyde in-this way. \ "Loose smut” is seen only during the time the'-.wheat'-is heading out. The effected heads are entirely black, consist of smut, and .fail to develop intoywheat. Instead, the smut spores blow away, infest other healthy heads,

and by the time the wheat is cut no smutted heads can be seen, only the bare spikes being evident. The infested heads develop around the spores and when sown, develop into wheat plants having smutted heads. There Is only one method of treating seed wheat for “loose smut." This Is known us the “hot water” treatment," so called because the wheat is soaked in hot water for the purpose of killing the smut spores. The temperature necessary to kill the smut spores is not much lower than that necessary to kill the wheat germ, so much aare must be exercised to make the treatment a success. Demonstrations of the “hot water treatment" are planned in this county to be carried out next week. On Wednesday seed wheat will be treated ut the Hillside Cheese company, located three miles north of Decatur and on Thursday the same work will be done at the condensery In Berne. These people have kindly consented to cooperate by furnishing steam to heat the water. This will make the work of keeping an even temperature easier. Prof. Gregory, of Purdue university, will assist in the work. . > John Whitman of Geneva was a business visitor in the city today. — - » BILLIE BURK AT CRYSTAL Billie Burke's latest Paramount picture, "The Education of Elizabeth” which comes to the Crystal theatre tonight, is a lilnj adaptation of Roy Horniman’s famous comedy which was produced in London in 1907 ami which has been presented all over this country with great success.
