It Honesty the Best Policy?
The oft repeated adage—"Hon-
esty is the best policy"—is more
abused than rightly used. As a
principle of action the saying is mis-
leading. Honesty should not be
practiced just as a matter of policy.
W. G. McAdoo in the Farm and
Ranch of recent date put it this way :
"It is a wrong notion that one
should be honest simply because it is
advantageous to be so. Honesty
should be practised as an inflexible
standard of right and truth, and
never as a mere matter of policy.
It is an inspiring thing that honesty
has become so popular during the
past few years. A higher standard
of ethics prevails all round. Cor-
porations are more honestly managed
today than ever before in their his-
tory. Men are generally «aore
punctilious about t
ings with
Datiooj^^tf^fiflKplocal---fo being
purifigHN^HHftt of truth and
hoi
cornerr.
While #f^gr ee with him as to the
standar&}('tight and truth, he is too
optimistical^ the general prevail-
ing honesty^jftr private and public
business. As ^flftile men deal hon-
estly only when it is to their advan-
tage, and they practice honestly as
a policy only.
Treatment of Seed Wheat to Pre-
vent Smut.
There are two kinds of wheat
smut, loose smut and stinking or ball
smut. Both can be prevented by
treating the seed and rotating the
crops. The spores of both kinds of
smut are carried by the seed, but
the spores of loose smut may also be
carried in the soil from one year to
another. Treating the seed prevents
stinking smut, but loose smst requires
that the seed be treated and that the
ground on which it grew be planted
to another crop the following year.
The stinking or ball smut is the kind
most commonly found, it destroys
the kernels only, while the loose
smut destroys the grain and chaff
entirely, and the sooty mass of spores
remain. The stinking smut gives
off an offensive odor when broken.
The following "Formalin Treat-
ment" will prevent stinking smut in
wheat, also the smuts which com-
monly affect barley and oats:
Formalin Treatment—There
are several methods of treatment:
hot water treatment, blue stone
treatment and Formalin Treatment,
the last of which is safest, most re-
liable and cheapest.
Secure a 40 per cent solution of
formalin at a reliable drug store.
One ***und of formalin is sufficient
)tn 2,000 to 2,500 pounds
^ef*^ mixing the solu-
>' jpheat ready. The
made by care-
into lbs barrel for a short time.
The wheat should then be emptied
into a pile in a clean place and cov-
ered with sacks or blankets for two
hours, after which it should be
thoroughly dried before sowing.
To sprinkle, prepare a clean place
on a canvas or smooth floor.
Thoroughly sprinkle the place with
the solution before spreading the
wheat on it. Now thoroughly sprin-
kle the spread-out wheat and at the
same time shovel it over. Continue
to sprinkle and shovel over the wheat
until it is thoroughly moistened.
Next, shovel the wheat into a pile
and cover with sacks or blankets for
two hours, after which it should be
thoroughly dried before sowing. Do
not allow the wheat to remain wet
too long after treating, as the ger-
minating qualities may be injured.
Place thq dried wheat in sacks
which have been dipped in the solu-
tion. It is also advisable to sprinkle
the grain drill with the solution be-
fore using it. Exercise everyj pre-
caution not to bring the treated seed
in contact with any that nas not been
treated or in bins which have con-
tained smut wheat. The wheat
should be treated but a short time
before sowing.

The Water Problem
Water la one of '-hi*

the ll|a and happlneaa of the people
•ad the auooeae of all lines of Indus-
try depend upon quality, cost and
dumMtlty of our water supply.
®*ver since the days when Mosea
smote the rocks and water gushed
forth to quench the thirst of the chil-
dren of Israel, the peop!e have mur-
mured for water. In time of drouth
It Is the custom of the people of the
rural districts to pray for rain and
of the Inhabitants of cities to curse
the waterworks. Irrigation la solving
the problem In agriculture in the arid
regions of the state and pure artesian
water is available for most cities.
Nature has done her part by deposit-
ing vMt lakes of pure water beneath
the surface and numerous rivers tra-
verse the state, offering an abundance
of surface water to the citlea and it
Is merely an engineering problem of
watering the cities of Texas.
A permanent source of water is one
of the most Important questions con-
fronting many ffrowfn* cities In the
state and one which may be. by com-
mon consent, postponed, but. 1" Ban-

Increased frlghtfulness.
Solve the water problem and solve
It now.
