 POTATO LOSSES
IT IS SAID MUCH OF THE LOSS DUE TO DISEASES MAY BE
 PREVENTED.

By John A. Elliott, Plant Pathologist Arkansas Agricultural Experiment
 Station
 It has been proved by repeated ex- periments that many of the diseases of the sweet potato can be controlled or very much reduced by proper seed selection and treatment, and crop TO. tatlon. Clean seed planted in clean soil will produce a clean crop. Badis diseased seed cannot be made safe by a-y treatment, and sucb seed should be discarded.
 Treatment For Sweet Potatoes.
 First: Choose seed that is as clean as possible.
 Second: Treat the seed Treat ment: (Use care as this is very pois- onous). Corrosive sublimate ounce. water 8 gallons Let the potatoes soak for 20 to 30 minutes--not longer. Formalin may be substituted for cor rosive-sublimate, in which case use l pint of 40 per cent Formalin in 30 gallons of water. Soak for two hours mot longer. (Corrosive-sublimats is better).
 Third: Bed in clean. disease-free sand which has not been used before and is not from a field where peta- toes have been grown. If crop has been badly diseased. change the loca- tion of the bed to clean soil.
 Fourth: Plant in a field free from disease. If field has produced & diseased crop. do not use it for grow iag potatoes for at feast two seasons. If this plan Is followed carefully q clean crop of potatoes should .bs raised
 Clean potatoes. carefully handled and stored in clean, properly ventilat- ed and heated houses. will keep with very little loss.
 Nematode or Eel Worm: This para site causes swelling and cracking of ! the roots Treatment does no good Do not plant such roots. and do not plant root crops in infested soils.
 Diseases Spread By infected Seed
 Sweet Potato.
 Black Rot: This disease causes regular black spots on the roots. If bedded, the sprouts become infected and spread the disease 10 the field. In fected plants produce diseased roots which. if stored. cause serious loss ID storage. Infected roots are not At for food Never bed such seed.
 Mummy Rot: This disease causes ' sunken spots on the surface of the DO tato and may entirely destroy 1t. The inside of the root is brown or black It is spread in the same manner a. black rot and causes heavy losses ir storage. The disease does not injure the taste of the part of the root no destroyed. Never bed roots with thil disease. as treatment will do no good Soil Stain: This disease affects on ly the skin. and infected roots ma, be bedded after being treated. If no treated, the disease spreads anl causes much loss due to shrinkage II storage
 Yellows or Wilt: This diseas, causes browning or bIackening oE thu inside of the roots and stems, ana wilting of the vines. A cut end show dark ring on the inside. Treatment does no good. Never plant such seed
 "Pit" or Pox: This disease causel pits and scabs on the surface of ths potato. Badly pitted roots should no be treated. as the infection may b, too deep to be reached
