Treat Potatoes Quickly Now.

Every time you eat a potato yOil pay
for three others that rotted. either in
the ground or in storage. These rots,
due mainly to scab, black scurf and
|blackleg. can largely be prevented, say
the plant pathology men at Iowa State
college, by new method of treating
the seed with hot formaldehyde that
has Just been worked out at Ames
Instead of the old method of soaking
the tubers for about two hours. the
method has been modified to. merely
dipping for two minutes in hot formal
dehyde solution and allowing to dry.
Formaldehyde is more active hot than
cold. This modification of the old me
thod makes it practical for every po-
|tato grower to treat his seed and there
by increase his yield and profit.
The solution used is 2 pints of 40 per
cent formaldehyde to 30 gallons of wa
ter. The potatoes are dipped two min
utes at 11S to 122 degrees f. Then they
are piled from six, to eight inches deep
and covered with wet sacks for an hour
and allowed to dry. The potatoes must
not be dipped longer than two minutes
nor must the temperature vary from
lis to 100 degrees. 1t is well to have
ii supply of cold solution handy to.
keep the temperature from going up
and have fairly accurate thermome-
ter.
Small lots of potatoes can be treated
in u common Is gallon wash boiler or
similar metal tub on an ordinary cook
stove. The solution is made up and
placed in the boiler over the oven fire
until it is heated to 100 degrees f.,
when the boiler is set off OH the floor
and the potatoes immersed in half
bushel lots in u gunliy sack. II the
solution becomes too cool. as 1t prob
ably will. it can again be placed over
the open fire.
With larger lots the treatment can
best be made iii Il GO to SO gallon tank
or a hogshead cut in two, in which is
placed sheet iron heater. Certain
types of tank heaters can also be used,
If the quantity of potatoes warrants
il. they may be disinfected effectively
In larger tank. The solution Is heat
cd by steam from a small upright
boiler or other source. The potatoes
may be dipped while in the crates aud
allowed to dry without emptying. II
is advisable to cover them with wet
sack or canvas for one hour before
drying. This increases the effective
ness of the treatment without injury
to the potatoes.

they will grow into stability. We can
not turn back now.
"There ID another point which also
needs emphasis. World treaties hith-
erto have always been based on the
theory Of balance Of power. Strong
er races have been set up to dominate
the weaker. partly with q view to
maintaining stability and to a greater
degree with a view to maintaining oc-
cupations and positions for the re-
actienaries Of the world.
The balance Of power ID born OF
armies and navies, aristocracies,
autocracies, and reactionaries general
", who can find employment and
domination In these institutions, and
treaties founded on this basis have
established stability after each great
war for shorter or long. time, but
never more than generation.
america came forward with q new
idea. and we insisted upon its injec-
tion into this peace conference. We
c's'lneo tnat IL was possible 10 SCI
up such piece Of machinery with
such authority that the balance OF
power could be abandoned as q relic
Of the middle ages. We compelled an
entire construction Of this treaty and
every word and line in II to bend TO
this idea.
