PREVEXTION OF SMUT IN wHEZ\T. An experiment in treating seed wheat for the prevention of smut has been conducted for two years with quite satisfactory results. _ Infected geed wheat not treated for smut proâ€" duced a crop containing an average of 2146 smut balls per bushel of grain f while that treated with Potassium sulphide produced an average of 109 .bals)so( smut ; that treated with Cepâ€" per Sulphate, 12 balls of smut; and that treated with hot water 9 balls of smut per bushel of grain. _ The hot water treatment which is one of the @heapest and most effectual remedics, consists in immersing seed wheat for fitteen minctes in hot water at a tem perature of 132 degrees F. The water should not go beiow 130 and not above 135 degrees. Not only is the hot water treatment vory eifectual in killing the smut spores, but it frequently improves the productive power of the seed, as shown by the the increased yeald of grain per acre. _ Every farmer in smut infected districts should treat sufâ€" ficient seed to insure the harvesting of Clean grain for seed next year. DISTRIBUTING OF SEKRD FOR TESTING PURPOSE*, The following three sets of winter awheat varicties will be sent free, by mail in oneâ€"half pound lots of each varâ€" jety, to farmers applying for them, who ’ will carefully test the three kinds in the set in which they choose, and will reâ€" which the applivulinu; are vl(‘u.ly“ed ;I'\' long as the supply lasts, , was conuucted in Guplicate. «dn the average of four years‘ experâ€" Aments in cutting two yvarieties of grain .at five different stages of ripening,ithe results show that the grain cut before wat wity does not give as large a yvield as th..t which was allowed to tecome dully ripened _ ‘The details of this exâ€" periment can be more fully studied when they are printed in the annual report of the College for 1897. * hy C " io: ui o "etainte Ainczacaiads Indrabsiad Seiard ud 6 45 bushels per acre more than .shrunken seed ; and 423 bushels per .aere more than the seed which had «been broken w‘th the machine in thrashing. _ The same number of winâ€" ter wheat grains were used in the dif iferent selections, and the experiment was conducted in duplicate. Large plamp seed sown in the auâ€" tumn of 1896 produced 3g bushels per aere more than the small plamp seed ; Lana upon which peas were used as a green manure in 1896 produced a .considerable larger yield of winter wheat per acre than similar land upon which rape or buckwheat had been us .ed as a green manure, or which had been worked as a bare summer fallow. ‘This experiment was conducted in duplicate, but tor only one year. It is Althuagh the comparative order of «the yields of these seven varieties are not the same in 1887 as in the average .of four years, still the fact that they gave the largest yields in both cases among all the yvarieties tested is a very important feature in the experiâ€" . ment. ___C, A. ZaAVITZ, Experimentalist icyltyral College, Guelph, Aug. 14th, being repeated this season in a similar way. In an experiment with ninety one varieties of winter wheat, grown under similar conditions in 1897, it is found <that the seven varieties which stand highest in yield of grain per acre are the same seven varieties which have given the largest yield of grain per acre among eightyâ€"six varieties grown .on the experimental plots tor four years in succession. â€" The following list gives «the names of theseseven varieties with ithe average yield per acre fr four years, and aiso with the average yield per acre for this season.
