SMUT   IN
WHEAT FIELDS
The high percentage ot stinking smut found in many wheat fields in Northampton County this year indicates that seed In all late sown fields should be entirely free from smut or should be treated before drilling
Late seeding has, for many years. been necessary in order to avoid the attack of the Hessian Fly.. This late seeding, however, encourages tiie growth of stinking smut, which mu«t be controlled by seed treat¬ ments.
County Agent B. L. Coleman, in di.scussing this. Aates that two satisfactory methods of treating are recogniaed. Copper Carbonate used at the rate of two and one-half ounces per bushel snd Ethyl Mer¬ cury Phoaphstc used at the rate ot one-ha If ounce per bustiel.
The advantages of tbe eopper carbonate treatment are that the seed can be treated and used Im¬ mediately, and Us dlsadvantaget are that it causes considerable diSculty in drUUng. Seed treated wttb Ethyl Mercury Pliosphate drills readUy, but. In order to secure control, the seed must be treated at least three days before seeding and should not be held more than • or I weeks after treatment before It is seeded
Wheat to be treated should be thoroughly cleaned .so that all smut balls are removed and a treating drum, which can be made from a 30 gallon oil barrel, should be used The operator should avoid breathing the dust used in treating and stiould wear a .sponge or damp cloth over the mouth and nostrils. Treated wheat should not be fed to live¬ stock. .
Complete details on the treat¬ ment of seed wheat and otber graiiu can be secured from County Agent B. L Coleman. Agricultural Exten¬ .sion Servkw. Court House. Easton. ra
THE FLORY MILUNG COMPANY
ORGANIZED HERE IN 1899
The Local Plant • South Main Street
The Floiy Milling Company known to farmers throughout Northampton and adjoining counties was organiz¬ ed in 1899 when the front part of the  present   btulding  was buUt by
Milton Plory .of Bangor, Pa., and operated by Sam Flory as a grain elevator and feed store.
In 1902 William Hootmacher took cliargp of the plant, conducting operations untU 1906 when John Achenbach was made manager. The late Dr. M. J. Stover was helper and tooli care of all local deliveries with horse and wagon. John Achenbach continued as manager of tlie plant until the .spring of 1910 when the late Thomas E. Snyder, former own¬ er of the Moorestown general store, took charge. An lncrea.se of busi¬ ness in 1911 prompted Mr. Snyder to enlarge the building and an addi¬ tion was built to the elevator giving the .structure a lengtli of 120 feet by 33 feet. A small feed grinder was installed in 1914, replaced later with a larger grinder, a corn cracker,
separator and a Complete scratch feed blending outfit.
Rapid strides in business develop- m€nt.-> continued throughout Mr Snyder s management for a period of IT years. He retired from active business in May. ,ld27, and his son. A. Russoll Snyder took complete charg'\ Since then more machin¬ ery has been installed from time to time, of modern dcsigti, such as two large feed grinders with a capacity of 7500 pounds per hour, com cutters, corn crackers. a cr.irked corn separator, feed mix¬ er, ui.iin separator, corn sheller, autsmatic power shovel for unload¬ ing arain from cars and a unique blower .irrangenient for loading the grain in freight cars as well as nu¬ merous elevators and conveyors ne¬ cessary to speed up efBciency In a modern plant.
With the addition of the adjoin¬ ing proixrty formerly owned by Oeorge  and   Kemmerer,  bakcr.s,  in
lM4, this plant housed in the pre¬ sent three-story frame structure Occupies mor? than 12.000 feet of floor space. More than eleven Cats of feed and 21.000 bUshels of grain can readily be stored. The plant buys yearly from local farmers ap¬ proximately 110.000 bushels of grain and manufactures and produces an¬ nually approximately 3700 tons of feed consumed by paultry and dairy farmers witliin a radius of thirty miles. All the feeds are ground and mixed at the local plant while the wheat is sliipped to the Bangor plant where tlie company operate-: a large flour mill.
Ttie F'iOry Milling Company has operated successfully here since its origin and at present eight employ¬ ees are kept on the payroll steadily as well as three 5-l,on trucks servic¬ ing daily patrons throughout the trading area
Nazareth ia proud of this Industry and its continual improvements, for which mucli credit is due the pre¬ .sent manager. A. Russell Snyder.

Harrisburg. Oct 1.—The farm real estate market in Pennsylvania, Delaware. Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia is looking up, ac¬ cording to a statement made here today by Cliarles S. Jackson, presi¬ dent of the Federal Land Bank. He based it upon the increase sales by the bank of properties which it has had to take over dur¬ ing the last half dozen years or so. The record shows an increase of 131 per cent during the second quarter of 1936 compared to a like period in 1935 During the firs* half of this year the numt)er of sales made almost doubled those of tht pre\ious .six months, the to¬ tal being 365 properties or sheriffs' certificates representing farms. Down payments are also larger than a year ago.
Jackson attributed this large in- crea.se in sales not to a greater I activity on the part of the land! bank to dispose of properties but, to higher prices for agricultural i commodities and a greater confl-1 dence on the part of purchasers in the farmmg business.
"We sold relatively few farms to investors although the number of inquiries from this class of pur¬ chasers is increasing steadily," Jack.son said. "We aim to sell bona fide farmers or people who have had experience in farming for we find they are more likely to make a success of th.-ir purchase than pK-ople without adequate ex¬ perience
"In our sales of farm properties we find that most of the purchases are made b,\ people hving in tlu- communities in which the farms are located, and I believe this is a healthy sign."
