EXERCISE 13 (Continued) 



3. Let one student sprinkle the formalin on the oats as the other shovels 

 them over. After being mixed thoroughly, shovel them into a pile and cover 

 with bags or other covering which has been wet with the solution. 



FIG. 24. Second Step Put forty gallons of water in the barrel. Pour the formalin in the water and mix 

 thoroughly. Do not open formalin or put in the water until the oats are ready to treat. 



4. Leave a few hours or over night; then take off the covering and dry 

 out by spreading in a thin layer, stirring frequently. 



Precautions. 1. Treat all bags with which the oats will come in contact, 

 also the drill. 



2. If sown by hand before drying, allow one peck of oats per acre extra.
