SCAB OF POTATOES
An Economical and Efficient Method
for Its Control and Eradication.
BY n. C. TRAVElBEE, Department of
Botany, Purdue University ES-
pertinent Station.
Purdue University Agricultural Ex-
tension.

A cheap, easy and effective method
Of preventing potato scab is BY the use
of formaldehyde. The potatoes which
are to be used for seed are soaked for
two hours in a solution made by mix
ing one pint of formaldehyde with %
gallons of water If it is not convent
ent TO remove the potatoes at the end
of two hours, they may be left in the
solution longer without injury to their
growing qualities After having been
treated with the formaldehyde they
are dried, cut and planted as usual;
the only precaution necessary is TO
make sure that the treated potatoes
are not brought into contact with any
untreated scabby potatoes, or any bag
or other container which has had
scabby potatoes in it.
Formaldehyde is harmless to ami
mails in the strength of solution men
toned above and can be used without
the extreme caution necessary in hand
ling other disinfectants and germi-
cides, especially corrosive sublimate.
The germs of potato scab will live
over in the soil and infect subsequent
crops. The scab prefers a moist, aka
+, line soil and will not glow we'll in a
| loose, dry acid loan which is a good
/ soil for potatoes. If a piece of land to
] be used for potatoes is already infect
/ ed with scab, four or five-year rota-
ton of crops should be practised on it.,
-. IL 4 l.. a
each year and scab can be eliminated.
The matter of treatment of the soil
has received great deal of attention
and il has been very definitely shown
that fertilizers which have a large per
cent of sulphates reduce the amount or
scab infections. Flowers Of sulphur
also has been used 10 disinfect the soil
in which potatoes are to be planted.
Although neither of these treatments
give as satisfactory results as does the
formaldehyde treatment OF the seed,
they will be found beneficial and of
enough value to justify their use In
addition TO seed treatment
The most satisfactory results are
obtained by careful selection OF seed
the use of sulphate fertilizers. proper
choice OF soil and the disinfection OF
the seed with formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde Treatment. = Soak
seed potatoes at least two hours in a
solution of one pint OF formaldehyde 10
20 gallons OF water. Plant in the usual
way on land free from scab. Do not
fertiliZe with manure from animals
fed scabby potatoes.

is going to do the inspecting? How
is the average inspector going to tell
whether a tree that is labeled Rome
beauty is not a York imperial. or
something else? II takes a practical
nurseryman, one who has been long
in the business. to do that-even then
he would not always want to swear TO
the fact before the courts. Such a
law would have about as much effect
In reducing the number Of mislabeled
varieties as many of our state inspec-
ton laws have in reducing the number
of injurious insects. II reads very
much Like a proposed law that has
been before the Indiana Legislature
for the past six or eight years, but
which has never seen light yet
My experience as an inspector and
as fruit grower, shows very plainly
that by far the greater number OF
causes for complaint in this direction
originate % with the irresponsible
tree dealer and agent, who may or
may not represent the nurserymen in
question, and CD with the farmer him
self, who is often careless about re-
cording the names of varieties when
the trees are planted and so forgets
the names, or where he planted them.
by the time the trees come into bear
ing.
In the first place, the tree dealer
does not pretend to sell trees true to
name, and every one should know
that by this time. He is selling trees,
that is all. He buys them where he
can get them the cheapest and then
labels them TO suit his orders, well
knowing that not one farmer in a
thousand can tell the difference until
the trees come into bearing, and then
he will be doing suckers In some
other part of the country Even If he
could be found he is not responsible
financially. Many nurserymen sell a
large portion of their trees at whole
sale to parties with whom they are
not acquainted at ALL These same
dealers are buying trees from several
different sources at the same time.
and are filling their orders from these
trees indiscriminately How is the
nurseryman going to be held re-
sponsible for any mistakes which may
occur under such circumstances. No
man living could tell where any par
ticular tree came from, after it is set
in the orchard. Such a law would
drive every honest, reliable nursery
man out of business.
If the Orange Judd Farmer can give
us a law that will entirely eliminate
the irresponsible tree dealer and
| agent, and cause farmers and fruit
growers to buy their trees directly
from the nursery, 1T will be doing
something worth while, and we shall
not be everlastingly hearing these
complaints about the dishonest .nur
seryman, because the dishonest nur
seryman, if compelled to deal directly
with the fruit grower, will soon
change his ways, or go out of bust
ness.
