"Scrappy" Farmer PAYS Fine.

Trlpp.-Jacob j. Stern, a we'll known
farmer living near here, was required
to pay a fine and costs amounting to
an aggregate of about 500 for failing
TO properly dispose Of the oi
diseased hogs. The arrest was made
by the county health authorities IN
conditions throughout the county.
When the arrest was made Stern re-
sisted the officer who served the war
rant and a struggle took place in
which both the officer and Stern were
badly bruised. The authorities could
also have preferred a charge OF re-
sisting an officer against Stern, but
waived this right.

POTATO scAB
BY n. S. C0E,

Dakota Agricultural Experiment
Station, BrookinDs.

Potato scab (Oospora scables) Is q
disease of potatoes caused by a fungus
growth. The often repeated state
ment that potato scab Is caused by
certain soil conditions, moisture con-
ditions. Sod ground, etc. is erroneous,
However, it is true that grub worlns.
wire worms. or quack grass roots may
mar the surface Of potato tIhers, yet
these marks are deep and generally III
the form OF small holes and have moth
ing to do with potato scab. The spores
or germs are carried yer winter in
the scabbv petitions OF the injected
tubers; they may also be present II
the dust ~clinsing to uninfected tuberS.
These spores serve as one source OF
infection for the following year SO it
will be impossible to grow a scab-free
crop OF potatoes from seed which Is
infected. The potato scab disease also
lives from year TO year in the soil. anI
when soil once becomes infected It
will be impossible to grow a crop free
from scab, even though the seed is
treated, for at least six years and then
only on condition that other crops,
such as turaips and sugar beets are
not grown in the rotation, since the
seal disease affects these crops and
will have a renewed vigor after grow
ing on these host plants for a season.
Manure from stock which have been
fed scahhy potatoes should not be car
ried to land where potatoes are used In
the rotation. since the scab organism
will pass through tho digestive tract
OF these animals uninjurnd and thus in
feet the soil. However, it is safe to
feed scabby potatoes if they have been
cooked. Tor cooking will kill the organ
Ism. Potato scab thriyes best in al.
kaline soil and is checked by avidity.
so the application OF line or ashes will
tend to increase the disease. while
the p,owiag under OF green crops viii
have a tendency to check II.
II we are going to control potato
scab we must not plant diseased tubers
without treating them with either for
malin or corrosive sublimate. We
must also guard against planting po-
tatoes, treated Or ~untreated. on land
which Is infected and we should espe-
ciallF guard against injecting new
land. Only clean seed should be plant

Seed Treatment.

o@Sd
Either formalin or corrosive subli-
mate NAV be used to treat diseased
tubers for potato scah. However, since
corrosive sublimate IS very poisonous
and is no better and more expensive
than formalin, in the writer's estima-
ton, the forGaalin method is TO be pre-
fcrred. In treating potatoes with for
m&lin they should be soaked for two
hours in a solution consisting OF one
pound or pint of 40 per cent formalin
to 80 gallons of water. The same So
luton can be used over and oyer again
without losing its strength. The pota-
toes can best be handled by putting
them in aunly sacks or other contain
ers and immersing them in barrels or
rats Of the solution for the stated
time. The potatoes should not be left
in the formalin solution for a longer
period, siace the terminating qualities
will be lessened. After treatment they
can be planted Immediately or opened
up to dry. Care. however, must be
taken after treatment to see that they
do not cone in contact with mtreated
bins or seed. All sacks used in hand
ling the potatoes should be dipped in
the solution and the drill should be
thoroughly washed before planting
time.
In ~disinfecting large quantities Of
potatoes, fumigation with forr1alde-
hyde gas has proven efficient. The
potatoes should be placed in an air
