Isn't smut a plant disease?

I would guess its for treating seeds with anti-fungal anti rust etc
powders.

Reading up a bit more on it, was likely used for mercury based seed treatments either by dusting or slurry.

Looks like it should be attached to a TV.

I see it was made in MPLS. Should have been used on Hennepin Ave.

You guys are right on, it was used to treat small grain seed with a mercury slurry to reduce smut fungus. Here is a link to the history of this type of seed treatment.http://www.apsnet.org/edcenter/advanced/topics/Pages/CerealSeedTreatment.aspx
