INJURY TO POTATOES
To Insure Efficient Disinfection u IL
Necessary to Have Comparatively
High HumidIty--sprouted
Condition a Factor.
(Bv u. c. sTEwARTl


In treating a quantity OF seed pota-
toes with formaldehyde gas for scab
at the New York experiment station,
many of them we're SO severely
injured that they we're unfit for seed
The injury took the form of sunken
brown spots surrounding the lenti-
cells and eyes. The gas was generated
by the permanganate method, using
the standard formula of three pints OF
formaldehyde solution and 20 ounces
of potassium permanganate to each
1000 cubic feet of space An investi-
cation into the cause of the injury
placed the blame chiefly upon the
small quantity G.5 pounds) of pota-
toes per cubic foot of space in the fu-
migation chamber. The high relative
humidity Of the air and the sprouted
condition OF the potatoes were impor-
tant accessories.
Numerous investigations have shown
that in order to insure efficient disin-
lection It is necessary to have a COM
paratively high humidity.
In disinfecting seed potatoes Pro-
fessor Morse recommends that "just
before placing the formaldehyde in
the generator the floor of the disin-
fecting chamber should be thoroughly
wet down with boiling water" In
cellars and storerooms suitable for
seed potatoes the humidity is natu-
rally high. The sprouted condition Of
the potato is also factor in the hui
Nudity. BY the property of absorption
the potatoes seize and hold the formal
dehyde gas upon their surface. If
there are few potatoes they absorb so
much gas that the tissue is injured;
but when the gas is distributed over a
large quantity of potatoes it does not
gather at any point in sufficient guam
tity to cause injury.
In our experiments various degrees
Of lenticel spotting occurred with all
quantities up to IL pounds per cubic
foot. but no injury appeared when five
pounds or more per cubic foot were
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1915-02-09

used. The gas treatment is to be
recommended only in cases in which
the liquid treatment is impracticable.
With the gas treatment it is evil
dent that in order to secure uniform
results the quantity of the chemicals
must be varied according to the guam
tity of potatoes per cubic foot of
space. At present, the only formula
which can be recommended as being
both safe and efficient for scab is that
of three pints of formaldehyde and 90
ounces of permangenate to 167 bushels
Of potatoes in 1000 cubic feet of
space.
Similar spotting of potatoes results
from exposure TO the fumes of am
monia, bromine or ether. and from
dipping or soaking in strong solutions
of corrosive sublimate and formalde-
hyde. However, in the use OF for
maldehyde solution the quantity OF
potatoes treated has no appreciable
influence on the degree Of the injury.
The same solution my be used at
least ten times without loss OF
strength.

FORMER DEMANDS
American Note to Germany to
Reiterate Former
Claims.

Washington, July 21.-The Unit
ed States has decided to inform Ger
many that further loss of American
lives as the result of German sub
marine warfare in contravention of
the principles of International law
will be regarded as an "unfriendly
act" The discussion of principles
is virtually ended. The American
Government now will warn Germany
of the Interpretation il will place on
future transgressions of American
rights.
In the new note the United States
assumes that Germany already has
admitted the principle that passen-
gers must be removed to a place of
safety before destroying an unresist-
ing merchantmen as a prize.
Taking the position, therefore that
the two Governments are agreed in
principle, the United States views II
as incumbent upon Germany to make
her submarine practice conform with
the accepted principles of interna-
tional law. Any deviation in actu-
al practice resulting in the loss of
American lives, IL is pointed out,
will be viewed as an unfriendly act.

Mysterious Chimney Swift.

Much has been learned aDO., :. a
migration but much yet remains to
be learned. and the following is one
of the most curious and interesting
of the unsolved problems. The CHM
ney swift is one of the most abund-
ant and best-known birds of Eastern
United States. With troops of fledg-
lings catching their winged prey as
they go, and lodging by night in tall
chimneys. the focks drift slowly
South joining with other bands until
on the northern coast Of the Gulf
of Mexico they become an innumer-
able host. Then they disappear.
Did they drop into the water or hi
bernate in the mud. as was believed
of old. their obliteration could not
be more complete. In the last week
in March q joyful twitting for over
head announces their return to the
gulf coast. but their hiding place
during the intervening five months
10 still the swift's secret.
