HOW TO TREAT
POTATO

Potato scab Is a well-known and
widespread disease which does an
immense amount of damage to the po-
tato crop annually. Injury and conse-
quent losses due to scab remain very
large, in spite of the fact that the
cause and eficient methods Of con-
trolling the disease have been known
for many years. The minute parasitic
organism which causes the disease
was discovered and described by Ro-
land Thaxter OF the Connecticut state
station in 1890, and several other sta
tions have contributed to the working
out of efficient methods of treatment
OF the disease. The roughened, scab-
by, pitted surface of potato tubers due
to scab Is well-known practically
everywhere that potatoes are grown,
and the use Of untreated seed and the
too common practice Of reserving un-
salable. scabby tubers for planting has
resulted In an increase rather than In
a decrease of the disease in many To-
calities.
In bulletin Of the Maine station
w. ]. Morse summarizes the more i'm
portant practical facts regarding the
disease az follows:
Crop infection on old land may come
from the soil, from the seed, or from
both. On new land the source is large
ly from undisinfected seed. Soil con-
ditions, the application OF lime. ashes,
chip dirt, etc.. may favor the develop
ment of scab, but are incapable Of
causing it.
Alkaline soils, the use of stable ma
nure, lime. ashes and certain chemi-
calls Of alkaline nature favor the fun
gus. Acid soils and certain other
chemicals are unfavorable TO It.
Beets and the roots Of a few other
vegetables are attacked by the dis
ease. but the fungus may persist In
infected soil for several years without
the presence Of known host plants.
Badly infested soils should be de-
voted to such crops as grains, grasses
and ciovers for a. long time a. pos
sible. Fertilisers favorable to scab
should be avoided and "souring" the
soil BY green manurine Ia recon-
mended.
On clean soils only healthy. disin.
fected seed tubers should be used. Ma
uure containing uncooked scabby po-
tatoss or refuse should be avoided.

Farmers and Automobiles Farm
ers are becoming liberal purchasers
Of automobiles. One Illinois farmer
writes US that he has q twocylinder
automobile that he has run 5000
miles and has not been to one cent

horses can do more work ON the farm
because they do not have to 60 on

ID worth living when the farmer has
an automobile.

but no other precautions as to fertil-
izers are necessary. Clean soil may be
infected by means Of tools, bags, bas-
kets, etc., which have been in contact
with infected land or tubers.
Small amounts Of seed are best dis
infected by soaking: (a) Two hours In
solution Of one-half pint formalin to
Is gallons Of water, or (b) one and
one-half hours in two ounces of cor
rosive sublimate dissolved In Is gal
Ions of water.
For large quantities of seed. formal
dehyde gas. generated by the use Of
potassium permanganate, Is the most
practical disinfecting agent. Place
seed tubers in bushel crates or shall
low. slat-work bins in tight room
For each 1000 cubic feet of space
spread % ounces of potassium per-
manganate evenly over the bottom Of
a large pan or pail in center of room.
Pour over this three pints Of formalin,
leave room at once and allow to re-
main tightly closed for "a to 4S hours.
The corrosive sublimate "a deadly
poison), formaldehyde usually sold
under the name of formalin, a 40 per
cent. solution Of formaldehyde), and
the potassium permanganate can be
obtained Of any druggist. Corrosive
sublimate costs about 15 cents per

not less than IS per cent Of formalde.

the women first In the matter Of marriage,
BY the old rule Chinese girls are not al

Moreover. they're acting upon that right.
So widespread has this new independence
become that those who have asserted IT

"Tz YAu MOI" (self- willed daughters). The
conservatives OF China frown upon the dis
