Soil Conditions & Potato Diseases

Soil conditions have an important re-
lation TO potato tuber diseases, and
+ any OF these are widely spread
throughout the country. and perhaps
native to some soils. Common scab is
favored by neutral or slightly alkaline
soil, and seldom gives trouble in acid
soils. 1t, therefore, is increased by
lining and by fresh stable manure,
wood ashes, and alkaline fertilizers,
such as nitrate of soda and ground
bone, while acid phosphate and sui
phate OF ammonia tend TO diminish
Scab.
Rhizoctonia occurs TO some extent in
nearly all soils, but appears to attack
potatoes most when the conditions are
unfavorable to the best development of
the potato plant. Bring the land to an
ideal state OF tilth to minimize loss
from Rhizoctonia.
Powdcry scab is worst on cold, wet,
or poorly drained soils. Blackleg, on
the other hand, is carried by infective
seed No potatoes showing a deep
brown discoloration at the stem end
should be planted.
Sulphur tends to prevent common
scab. 1t is not substitute for corro-
siye sublimate or formaldehyde, but is
pod drer for cut seed. Applied to
SHb-infected soils at the rate OF 500 lbs
p& acre, ii reduces the scab, but such
heavy applications can not generally be
recommended as profitable Prelimi.
nary experimental trials are advised.

How to DiSinfect Seed

II is considered better to treat pota-
toes before they are cut into seed,
especially if the cut seed is to be very
small. Put into the solution all the
potatoes il will cover and keep the
batch covered by the solution for the
period named under the treatment be-
ing used.
The formadehyde treatment consists
in soaking the potatoes, before cutting,
for two hours in a solution made by
adding pint of formaldehyde TO 80
gallons OF water The solution can be
used repeatedly. The gas treatment is
no longer recommended.
The corrosive-sublimate treatment is
,alore effective than formaldehyde,
\ PARTICULARLY against Rhizoctonia, or rus
set scab, and powdery scab Corrosive
sublimate is used at the rate of l-1,0OO
for one and one-half to two hours. Dis
solve ounces of the salt in hot water
and dilute TO Is gallons. This is a dead
ly poison. Use with great care. II
must be kept i'm wood, porcelain, or
glass vessels, as it attacks metal. Seed
so treated must not be used in the
household or left where animals can
reach it.

BUILD THE MAINTENANCE
INTO THE ROAD.

Many road officials are buried in
skepticism and refuse absolutely TO
alter their time worn ideas even in the
face OF proven facts, in direct contradic-
ton of those ideas. They persist in re-
peating their mistakes and, when roads
are concerned, to build roads that are
impermanent, temporary and high in
ultimate cost.
is poor criterion in selecting the type
of road. Ultimate cost should be the
final determining factor which means
initial or first cost plus the yearly cost
of maintenance and the interest on the
money invested. In this respect, the
following conclusions OF the u. S.
Government, as printed in Bulletin No.
1876, U. S. Department of Agriculture,
should be of financial aid to you in in
vestigating your road funds:
The average interval for resurfacing
macadam or gravel roads is between
six and seven years.
The total annual cost Of repair and
maintenance of gravel roads is from
$3.50, to $3.50 per mile.
The sum of $525 per mile on an aver
age, should therefore absolutely main
tain macadam roads if changes and in
crease of traffic are not excessive.
II is clear, therefore, that 500 mile
is not an excessive estimate at present
for the annual cost of all repair and
maintenance of bituminous macadam
roads.
II the surface is built with the proper
mix of concrete and carefully placed,
it apparently should last indefinitely.
Such expressions of truth apply not
only to one locality, but in general
throughout the country, the inevitable
result of present day traffic which is
rapidly becoming all rubber tired.
Permanent concreate roads should be
the answer to such truths and will, we
believe, be adopted by you.
Yours truly,
VAN PELT

In using the orrosive-sublimate dip,
il has been found that the solution be-
comes weaker each time il is used. The
degree TO which the disinfectant is
taken out OF the solution varies accord
| ing 10 the amount of dirt on the pOta-
toes, the character OF the water and
the kind OF container. For practical
purposes il will be sufficient to add
ounce of dissolved corrosive sublimate
to each 80 gallons OF solution after each
batch OF potatoes has been treated.
When this has been done four times
throw away the old solution and pre-
pare new solution.
To treat large quantities OF potatoes
set several barrels on slightly elevat-
ed platform. Fit plug in hole in the
bottom of each barrel, fill with potatoes
cover with solution, let stand two hours
draw off solution, and pour into another
barrel Increase the number OF barrels
in proportion to the quantity ID be treat
ed. Another method is TO use large
wooden vat or trough, into which the
potatoes in sacks are lowered by rope
and pulley and later hauled out, drain
ed, and dried on Slated racks.
Seed potatoes may be treated several
weeks before planting, provided they
are not reinfected by storing in old con-
tainers or storage bins.
Sprouted potatoes are injured by
treatment, but will throw out new
sprouts In general, however, potatoes
will not be injured by following the
above directions. Many growers be-
lieve termination is improved by treat

How Much Vegetable Seed to
Plant for a Family of Four
Plan Garden Before
Planting Time.

Vegetable seed for planting should be
ordered at once, so as to be on hand as
soon as the weather and condition OF
the soil make planting possible. Before
ordering seed the home gardener would
do well to look over his garden plot,
decide on the best location for each
vegetable, and determine how much
seed he will require for the space avail
able for each variety.
He will find il helpful to make a
rough plan of his garden on a large
sheet of wrapping paper. On this plan
he can indicate the spaces to be used
for each variety and also by means of
colored pencils or symbols show where
second crop is to be planted or inter-
planted between growing rows and also
arrange for the second and third crops
which are to follow those previously
harvested. Such plan will enable him
to keep the garden busy all season,
supplying fresh vegetables during the
summer and producing in the late fall
root and other crops for winter use.
Once the heavy preliminary spading
and working of the garden has been
done it is about as easy to raise two or
three crops as to keep the garden clean
of weeds to produce only one picking.
The specialists advise those who are
not used to gardening or wish to have
their children take an interest in the
garden to hire laborer to do the heavy
preliminary spading or breaking up of
the soil. This heavy work frequently
disgusts novices and children who
would continue to take an interest in
the garden if their task was simply to
fine and cultivate soil already broken
up
SEED FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR.
The following amounts of seed the
garden specialists of the United States
Department OF Agriculture say are
needed to plant approximately 100 feet
of row, or enough to supply vegetables
for family of four:

Treat Seed
Potatoes
Soaking in Disinfecting Solution
Tends to Improve termination
and Lessons Danger of Scab.

The disinfection OF seed potatoes by
soaking in corrosive sublimate or in
formaldehyde is recommended by the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture as a measure that will tend TO i'm
prove the termination and lessen the
danger of scab.
Such treatment is, on the whole, pro-
fitable, but has several limitations
which should be clearly recognized to
prevent disappointment The object
of disinfecting seed potatoes is to de-
stroy the germs OF scab and other sur
face parasites which might otherwise
be planted with the seed and infect the
new crop. Only surface infections are
reached by this method II is only
partially effective against deep pits of
common scab. Neither corrosive
sublimate nor formadehyde, as or
dinarily used, will destroy silver scurf.
Either one will kill surface infections
of blackleg, but neither will reach the
internal infections common in tubers
from blackleg hills. Neither Fusarium
wilt nor late blight infection i'm potato
tuberS can be reached by any seed
treatment, nor can any OF the nonpara-
site diseases of potatoes, such as
mosaic, leaf roll, and curly dwarf, thus
be prevented. See Farmers Bulletin
5l4 for descriptions OF these troubles.

Select Disease-Free Seed.

Clearly, therefore, the most impor-
tant precaution against these diseases
is TO select clean, disease-free seed
potatoes from healthy, vigorous plants,
as determined by field inspection dur
ing the growing season and at harvest
Seed treatment should then be applied
as an additional precaution. 1t will
not be effective, however, if the soil
where the potatoes are to be.planted is
already full of disease.
