SULPHUR FOR PoWDERY SCAB
Potato Growers Should Treat Their
Seed Potatoes With Sulphur.

On account of the possibility of In
lection with powdery scab, the depart
ment of agriculture is now recommend
ing all potato growers to treat their
seed potatoes with sulphur. This Is
made expedient by the fact that In
fected seed potatoes have been shipped
out of Maine, where powdery scab now
exists. Recent tests justify the depart
ments scientists in recommending a
thorough busting with tlowers OF sui
phur after the potatoes have been cut
as a precaution against the disease. but
the treatment Is by no means Intended
to take the place of formaldehyde as
general disinfectant The department
advises the use of both formaldehyde
and sulphur.
Before cutting the potatoes should
be soaked for two hours In solution
of one pint Of formaldehyde to thirty
gallons of water. They should then be
allowed to dry quickly either in the
open or while spread out on a clean
floor. This is known to be effective
against common scab and blackleg and
should therefore be employed in all
cases. Whether II is equally effective
against powdery scab is doubtful, and
for this reason the use Of sulphur Is
strongly advised in addition. The po-
tatoes should be cut first and then
busted thoroughly with flowers Of sui
phur. A general use OF this treatment
is advised

To serve your turn long after they had gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
