commission, and it is probable their con-

mitted by Secretary Garrison OF the War
Department in relation to the construc
ton of the two-million-dollar marble me-
mortal to Lincoln. to be erected in West
Potomac Park The policy of Secretary
Garrison with regard to the award Of

ture.

structed of white marble Various bid

How to Avoid Potato Scab and
Dry Rot.

These two diseases are preva-
lent in Kentucky, and now is the
time to lessen their injuries on
the crop of 1914, if they are to
be lessened. 3. =.
Scab is a fungus disease re-
sulting in a roughness of the sur
face of potatoes, when served
leaving most of the outside fis-
sured, corky and black. When
used for seed, such potatoes are
likely to cause scab on the new
crop, and are unfit for planting
if one wants clean skinned po-
tatoes. If but slightly affected
they may be disinfected by soak
ing them for two hours in thirty
gallons of water containing one
pint of formalin. A gunny sack
containing the potatoes may be
set in a barrel containing the
water and formalin, and after
treatment it is only necessary to
lift the sack out, drain off the
fluid, and spread the potatoes out
to dry before cutting them.
Dry rot is also a fungus dis
ease. Pototoes sometimes ap-
pear to be perfectly sound, yet
when cut show a brown line of
varying thickness just, within
the skin and often following the
greater part of the circumfer-
ence. This is the work of dry
rot fungus, generally, in Ken
lucky, a species known as Fusa.
rum oxysporum. Such potatoes
ought always to be rejected.
They are certain to convey the
disease to the crop. No treat
ment will reach the fungus with
in the potatoes. When buying
potatoes it is we'll to cut some of
them to see if the disease is pres
ent.
Both scab and dry rot fungi re-
main in the soil for a time, hence
old potato land is likely to pro-
duce more badly diseased pota-
toes than new land.
Cd The selection'of sound seed,
e. treatment with formalin or
corrosive sublimate, and 81 ro-
tation, are the means by which
both of these pests may be
avoided.
