REMEDIES FOR
SCABBY POTATOES
Two Poisons Are Recommended
10 Prevent Disease, Eornaalin
Being Less Dangerous

Potato scab is a disease OF the pota
to tuber caused by a fungous growth
attacking IL in the soil. Spores Of the
fungus will remain in the soil from
year TO year and on the tubers from
one season TO another. The disease
causes the surface Of the potato to be-
come rough and unsiehtly and very
often extends deep into the flesh. in.
jurinG its food value
Scsb on potatoes can be prevented
by planting uninfected tubers in clean
soil. and the danger OF injecting may
be reduced by rotation or by planting
the potatoes In different soil each sea.
SON
To insure a crop OF potatoes free
from scsb treat the seed with some
and plant in soil in which no potatoes
have grown for several years. Two
poisons for scaS treatment are recon-
mended. Formalin IS the less poison.
Gus and the one most commonly used
Il costs about so cents a pint and one
pint Is used with 50 gallons OF water.
Formalin solution may be used eithe,
in a wooden or metallic vessel and.
although a poison. there is little dan
ger in its use. Let the potatoes soak
in the solution for about two hours.
After disiufection place the potatoes
in bags which contain no scab spores
Spores Of potato scaS may also be
killed by the use of corrosive sub
Innate This is q very poisonous sub
stance and must be used with care
Do not use for food any OF the pota-
toes after treatment To use corro-
s;ve sueiiuiate provide 4 barrel o.
other wooden vessel. as IL attacks
metals Dissolve two ounces O. the
poison in two gallons Of no. water.
When Il was has dissolved mix IL with
II gallons Of water and sprinkle or
pour il over the potatoes. so that all
Of the tueers become moist with the
solution What is left over Of the
poison must be carefully disposed O.

GROWING POTATOES UNDER
STRAW MULCH BENEFICIAL
Il VIII Bring About On HiIly wher.
the Moisture Often Much DamaSe.-By
T.. NJ.

For growing potatoes on hill land
>r where they are often damaged by
moisture the straw mulch will be
found to bring good results. For
straw covering the potatoes should be
planted the last of May or the first OF
June. We have the soil well prepared
Mark of the rows two feet apart and
not too deep. Straw potatoes require
only about half the row space that cul-
uvated ones need. as the vines are
never so large and cultivation is not
required. Cover the seed with two
inches of soil and then with about ten
inches of straw. or enough to make
four inches when well beaten down by
rain. This will keep the weeds down
