Among  other  things  which  are  contained  in  this  report  it  would  appear  that 
smutty  oats  soaked  in  Bordeaux  moisture  for  four  hours  are  rendered  as  free 
from  smut  as  if  soaked  for  8,  12  or  24  hours.  It  appears  to  be  equally  efficient 
as  the  potassium  sulphide  test,  which  is  more  expensive  and  requires  a  longer 
treatment  for  its  effects  to  be  realized.
