"No", blurted out the unhappy Jock, "the ring‘s safe eno‘. But, mon, I‘ve lost ma enthusiasm." "My husband admires everything about meâ€"my voice, my hands, my evyes,â€" my very shadow." A Sad Case The «worried countenance of the bridegroom disturbed the best man. He whispered: "What‘s the matter, Jock? Hae ye the ring?" _ The grain grower is fast becoming conscious of the need for seed treatâ€" ment, and the conclusive evidence furnished by research workers and .conflrmed by farmers themselves is responsible for the rapid increase in the use of Ethyl Mercury Phosâ€" phate dust across the Dominion, where it has largely replaced the oldâ€" fashioned, messy, wet formaldehyde tréatment. The mercurial dust treatâ€" ment is applied more easily and guickly and removes the dangers of the wet treatmentâ€"injury to germiâ€" nation which often occurs when conâ€" ditions are not carefully controlled, and seed injury when weather conâ€" ditions delay seeding. Seed treated with formaldehyde must be sown imâ€" mediately, where as that treated with the mercurial dust may be kept for weeks or even months, after treatment. Ethyl Mercury Phosphate actually stimulates germination by virtue of its suppression of rootâ€"rot organisms on which formaldehyde has no effect whatsoever. The value of this mercury comâ€" pound had already ‘been established as practically 100% effective in conâ€" trolling the smuts of grainâ€"namely, bunt or stinking smut of wheat, covâ€" ered smut and strive of barley and two smuts of oats. The more recent discovery that it protects the gerâ€" minating seed against serious root~ rot infection is good news for the Canadian farmer: A careful study of these rootâ€"rOt d:seases, made by the Division of Boâ€" tany and Plant Pathology, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, under. the able direction of G. A. Scott, reâ€" vealed the potent influence of Ethyl Mercury Phosphate in their control and in the protection of young seedâ€" lings from partial or total destrucâ€" tion. In the Prairie Provinces the importance of treating with this fungicide has been demonstrated very conclusively. Previously, in combating grain smuts, treatment with formaldehyde was customary. But in the study of rootâ€"rots and seedling blights at the College of Agriculture, University of Saskaâ€" tchewan, it was found that this treatâ€" imolu often weakened the seed, reâ€" sulting in impaired germination, inâ€" creased seedling blight and reduced yield, where as Ethy! Mercury Phosâ€" phate dust, used at the rate of only oneâ€"half ounce per bushel of seed, proved effective in controlling root damage. Ilull pause to consider the serious extent of the loss suffered annually by Canadian farmers from diseases affecting cereal crops. In the Prairie Provinces alone the yearly loss from this cause is estimated at not less than $85,000,000. These rootâ€"rot disâ€" eases develop on the ‘germinating grain and young seedling so rapidly and subtly that the farmer is often unaware of having been rather exâ€" tensively robbed, says .W. A.
