Suggestions For the
Control of Sweet Potato
Diseass at Bedding Time

Washington, d. c., April 6. - Some
1 OF the worst sweet potato diseases live
from one season to the next in the
soil and on the old decayed potatoes
bedded for previous crop, according
to the specialists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. For that reason
it is essential that fresh soil or sand
be used every year. Under no circum-
stances use soil for the hotbed from
fields where sweet potatoes previously
have been grown. Instead go into the
woods, if possible, and throw off six
inches of the surface and take sub
soil. Sand will do just as well. If soil
cannot be obtained from the woods.
1t may be taken from a new field
grown before.
1t is essential also that the frame
work of the hotbed be disinfected by
spraying with solution made by |
adding one pint of formalin to 80 gal |,
Ions of water. Similar results may be |
obtained by whitewashing the frame
work. Better still. spray with winter |
strength 1ime-sulphur solution.
In the spring before being bedded |
the potatoes should be disinfected by |
immersing for from to 10 minutes
in solution of corrosive sublimate.
made by dissolving one ounce of the |
crystals to gallons of water. This
is deadly poison. Use with great
care. treated seed should not be left |
where animals can reach it. Only
wooden containers should be used for
disinfection. After disinfection the no.
tatoes should be Immediately rinsed
in pure water and dried or bedded at
once.
Just enough of the solution should
be put in the barrel or receptacle used
for disinfecting to cover the quantity
of potatoes to be immersed each time
The solution should not be used more
than three times, since it loses IFS
strength and effectiveness upon re-
peated use.
After the potatoes are disinfected.
any showing evidence of disease
either on the surface or at the end
should be thrown out. Frequently ii
is in these bruised, calloused, and de-
cayed spots that the disease germs are
concealed. 1t should be remembered
that the disinfection is to XIII the
