Dipping Seed Potatoes.

The formula for making a solution
in which to dip seed potatoes to free
them from the germs of scab is as
follows: Procure from druggist
two ounces of powdered corrosive sub
Innate, put this into two gallons of
hot water in wood or earthenWare
vessel and allow it to stand until dis
solved. Place thirteen gallons OF
water in clean barrel, pour in the
solution OF corrosive sublimate and al
low It to stand two or three hours.
with frequent STRINGS in order to
have the solution uniform. Put the
seed potatoes into bags, either before
or after cutting them, and then dip
them into the corrosive sublimate solu-
ton and allow them to stay In It for
an hour and half. II seed potatoes
are treated in this way and then
planted on land free from scab, the
resultant crop will seldom be serious
" injured by scab. The expense Of
this treatment including labor should
not exceed one dollar per acre.
