GOVERNMENT SEXES FOOD
Conficates New York Stocks for Army
and Navy.

New York, May 2.-The Department
of Agriculture has begun census of
all foodstuffs in New York city. Every
important handler of food received a
notice from the department asking for
statement of the exact amount of
foodstuffs held on May 1.
Another step by the government
was the virtual confiscation of large
quantities of food for the army and
the navy which will be paid for later
at prices to be fixed by the govern.
ment
This action, it is believed, was due
to increase in the price of foodstuffs.

TREAT SEED POTATOES
The Prevalence Of Scab on the High
Priced Seed Potatoes This Year
Makes Il Imperative That They Be
Treated With Chemicals Before
Planting.
National crsp Improvement ssrvIs..I

While the operation of treating Is
comparatively simply, close attention
must be given to the direction and de-
tails followed absolutely. Your care
lessness may mean ruin of the po-
tatoes or danger to children or stock.
Simply-Be Careful.
According to your conditions and
equipment, the seed potatoes may be
treated In crates, loose in barrels or
in sacks Treatment must be done be-
fore the potatoes are cut or sprouted.
The commonest method is to mix
one pint Of formaldehyde (be sure 1t
Is full strength) with thirty gallons
of water. Soak the seed stock in this
solution for two hours, just before you
are ready to start cutting. This solu-
ton may be reused two or three
times, If no time is lost between
patches. One of the easiest ways is to
place the solution in a barrel and
place a sackful of potatoes in it at
time.
Corrosive sublimate is an excellent
chemical to use, and will kill rhizic-
tonia as we'll as scab, but it Is dead
ly poison and must be kept where chill
dren or stock will not get it. All ves-
sells used with this material should be
carefully cleaned afterwards. If you
prefer this, use four ounces Of cor
rosive sublimate to thirty gallons OF
water, and soak the potatoes for an
hour and half. The powdered chemi-
cal should first be dissolved in hot
water and then added to the main
solution. Do not use metal vessels. At
ter treating, the potatoes should be
promptly washed in clean water until
all traces of the solution are gone, and
they they should be carefully dried.
the sooner the better.
It only takes little time and very
little money to treat all your seed po-
tatoes by either method, and it pays
big in larger yields of better potatoes,
free from disease.
