Disinfect or Destroy
Diseased Seed Potatoes

Seed potatoes from a deceased
crop may carry the germs of GER
tain diseases even though they
appear sound and healthy.
With certain fungus diseases
like the late blight and the wilt di-
seases, the PARASITES persist in
side the potato tuber. In bad
cases, they may cause the tubers to
shrivel with dry rot. In ceilder
cases, there is merely some brown
ing of the flesh. If any marked
discoloration is seen when cutting
seed potatoes, these deceased tu-
bers should be rejected. If the
brown color is confined to the stem
end; it will suffice to cut this por
ton off and throw it away.
In the case of two other potato
diseases, the germs are entirely on
the surface. These are the COM
mon scab and the black leg dis
ease. The former is too familiar
to need description; the latter
blackens and rots the stem below
ground. 1t may cause the tops to
die. and in some cases leads to soft
rot of the tubers.
In both scab and blackleg, the
germs can be destroyed on The
seed potatoes by selecting smooth
tubers and treating them with for
malin. The simplest method is to
soak the tubers for two hours in a
solution of / pint of fOrmalin IN ~
gallons of water. This can be used
several times without losing its
| strength. In this way, one pint OF
| formalin will disinfect 20 bushels
of potatoes, making the actual out
lay only about one cent per bushel.
Large seed dealers can more econ
omic ally fumigate their potatoes IN
the storage houses with the gas
! generated from formalin.
Potato scab germs may persist
in the soil of old potato fields and
may also be carried in the manure,
when scabby potatoes are fed to
stock. The use of ashes or lime
also stimulates the disease.
To keep the potato crop free
from these diseases, therefore, Sc
lect smooth seed, disinfect with
formalin, and plant on clean soil,
best clover or grass sod.

credit of being the first man to travel
in a little boat from the Sea of Galilee
down the river Jordan to the Dead sea.
According to the lieutenants nara,
tive, the lake measures some 46 miles
from north to south and from six to
II miles east and west It's total sur
face area was therefore computed to
be $50 square miles. Its greatest
depth was 1900 feet at its northern
end, and its shallowest part being at
its southern extremity, varies from
five to Is feet only.
Indeed, so distinct were it's deep and
its shallow portions that Lieutenant
Lynch described its bottom as con

elevated one at it's southern half aver

northern end averaging 1900 feet be-

by private subscriptions, few men,

several leading Zionists figure very
prominently.
The work of exploration will consist
in the major part of sounding the
depth of various sections of the lake
as well as Analysing the unique and
complex composition of its waters,
studying its shores, investigating the
nature of the different minerals that
are said to abound in that region, ex-
ploring, as far as is possible, the chan
nels of the many rivers and hot water
streams, apart from the Jordan, which
flow into the sea from both the east
ern and western mountain ranges that
hem its shores, examining and CLASH

southeastern section of the lake, which
consists mainly of shadows and marsh
es. 1t must be remembered in this
connection that it has always been
firmly maintained by those who Wis.
tied the Dead sea and wrote treatises
about it long ago that no fish of any
kind can make their habitat in any
part of it and this long-established be-
lief was given the death blow only re
