made up.
Things To Remember
1. Dissolve the Corrosive Sublimate
in warm water.
2. Never use a metal tank or vat,
use wood or cement.
3. Be exact in amounts of water
used and time allowed in solu-
4. Do not attempt to use old solu-
ton.
S. Corrosive sublimate is very pois-
onous. Both the solution and
the treated potatoes must be
kept away from stock. Keep
children away as they might
get poisoned.
6. The best antidote for corrosive
sublimate poisoning is the

HOW To Treat Seed Potatoes With
- Corrosive Sublimnte

Dissolve four ounces of corrosive
sublimate in four gallons OF warm
water. After all OF the corrosive
sublimate is dissolved. add twenty
six gallons OF water CT tho ordinary
temperature. THIS SOLUTION
MUST NOT BE MIXED OR USED
IN A METAL TANK OR VAT. Dip
the potatoes BEFORE CUTTING, as
one would grain, but allow the pota-
toes to stay in the solution for one
and one-half hours. 1t is recon-
mended that the solution only be
used for treating three patches of
seed a. 1t loses it's beneficial pro-
perty after 1t has been made up that
long. One very successful grower
recommends that the first batch OF
potatoes be dipped for one hour and

batch for two hours. In each case
tho time given is the time that the
potatoes remain in tho solution. The

TREATING SEED POTATOES
all We Treat Our Seed Potatoes
This Year?

After looking into the situation
thoroughly such authorities as MIR.
lou D. SWEET, President of the
ational Potato Growers Associa-
n and MR.. E. P. SANDSTEN,
.te Horticulturist, advise the
atment of all of our seed potatoes
is year with corrosive sublimate.
This Is on account of the unusual
amount Of Rhizoctonia and Scab pre-
sent. Rhizoctonia is the disease
that is responsible for hills with
large top growth but with an abnor-
NAL number of small potatoes in
place of the usual market size. 1t
may also result in the killing of the
young potato plant either before it
comes through the ground or short
ly after. The presence of this dis
ease is indicated by the small black
spots or patches upon the skin Of
the potatoes. When these patches
are moistened they appear very
black, when dry they may be taken
for particles OF dirt
Results To BE Expected
The two diseases above mentioned
both live over for some time in the
soil and even though the diseases
are s:lled on the potato by treating,
some loss from disease may be met
with when this treated -sead, is plant
ed on ground where the diseases are
present. 1t also occasionally hap
pens that seed with these diseases
present is planted and a good crop
free from disease is secured because
of some seasonal or soil condition
being unfavorable for the develop
ment Of the diseases and at the same
time having proper growing condi-
tions for the potatoes. This cannot
be depended upon however and the
opinion of good authorities is that
t pays to treat the seed. The cor
rsive sublimate treatment is the
ohv treatment recommended where
ootL OF these diseases are present.
Ihe iormaldehyde treatment is used
ior scab but does not seem to give
desired results for rhizoctonia. No
treating will take the place OF rota-
ton. Both are needed for best re-
suits.
