Perhaps one of the most favorable-outlet- s for nectarines will be the roadside stands, for many people object peaches on account of the at least they object to eating fuzz; them until they, have been peeled. This objection does not hold true with the nectarine. If nectarines Increase in popularity, as some of their' boosters claim they will, no doubt additional varieties ot highest quality will be available. of varieties available as yet is of course far more limited than Ins the ease of peaches, and that is one-othe difficulties against which must contend in any popularity contest. Copper carbonate Is the beet fesgl for preventing stinking KSSSt Ct wheat and the smuts of huuess oais. Formaldehyde is the best fungicide for preventing smuts of hulled oats and covered smut of barley. Formaldehyde should not be used for treating wheat It prevents the covered smut, but it is likely to injure the seed severely, especially if the seed is dried after treatment, or 'sown in dry soil. Copper carbonate does not prevent jthe smuts of hulled oats nor the covered smut of barley. It reduces the amount but is not as effective as formaldehyde. Formaldehyde does not injure the seed of oats and barley and is therefore recommended. Patent fungicides are not better ithan copper carbonate and formaldehyde. There are many patent fungi-jclde- s now on the market, write E. C. Stakman and H. A, Eodenhiser in the Dakota Farmer. How to Use Dust Get a good grade of fine, fluffy, copper carbonate. This light material is as effective as the more expensive heavier material. Any dust with a 20 per cent copper equivalent or more is satisfactory. Use two ounces of dust per bushel. If the seed is very badly smutted, use three ounces. For small quantities of seed mix the dust with the seed in an old barrel churn or a similar homemade device.

In this case the value of the feed Is the market price less the cost of marketing. The saving of this expense of marketing is In Itself a large Item, says the Missouri Farmer. Where all feeds must be purchased and hauled a distance of several miles to the farm in addition to the expense Incurred, great Inconvenience is often experienced In getting such work done during rush seasons and bad weather. Missouri Is especially adapted to the growing of corn and alfalfa and a large surplus of these crops Is usually produced. The prices of these feeds are considerably less than on the central markets of the East, the difference being largely that of transportation.
