Coni'huled from page 1 

 ticed, the dry and the wet, which are 

 equally satisfactory. 



DRY METHOD 



Add 1 pint of formaldehyde to 1 pint 

 of water and place in an atomizer, 

 sprayer or small hand sprayer. (For- 

 maldehyde costs from $.20 to $.45 per 

 pint. The sprayer will cost about $.50.) 

 Place the seed oats in a pile on a clean 

 floor, and spray the solution of formalde- 

 hyde on the grain as it is being shoveled 

 over. Hold the sprayer close to the giain 

 so that the spray will be well distributed. 

 Do not spray it into the air more than 

 can be avoided as it has an irritating ac- 

 tion on the nose and throat. One stroke 

 of the sprayer gives enough spray for 

 each shovelful of grain, and more than 

 that is unnecessary. After all the oats 

 have been sprayed with the formaldehyde 

 shovel them into a pile, and cover them 

 for about five hours with old bags or 

 blankets. At the end of that time the 

 grain may be sown immediately. Or, if 

 to be stored, the grain may be spread 

 out to air well and then placed in clean 

 sacks, or sacks which have also been dis- 

 infected by the formaldehyde spray. 



WET METHOD 



Add one-half pint of formaldehyde to 

 20 gallons of water. By means of n 

 watering can, sprinkle the oats which 

 have been spread out on the floor until 

 they are thoroughly moist. Shovel them 

 over while the sprinkling is going on so 

 as to distribute the formaldehyde evenly. 

 Twenty gallons will treat any amount of 

 oats up to .30 bushel. But after the seed 

 is all moist it is unnecessary to continue 

 sprinkling. Shovel the oats into a pile 

 and cover with old bags or blankets for 

 about five hours. At the end of this time 

 spread the oats out and stir them occa- 

 sionally so that they will dry well. As 

 soon as the seed is dry enough to run 

 freely through the drill it may be sown. 

 If the seed is somewhat swollen, allow 

 about 2 pecks more per acre. If it is 

 preferred to store the oats dry them 

 thoroughly after treatment and place in 

 clean bags, or bags which have been 

 disinfected by the formaldehyde sprink- 

 ling.
