pounds or more per cubic foot were
used. The gas treatment is to be
recommended only in cases in which
the liquid treatment is impractfcable.
With the gas treatment it is evil
dent that in order to secure uniform
results the quantity of the chemicals
must be varied according to the
quantity of potatoes per cubic foot of
space. At present, the only formula
which can be recommended as being
both safe and efficient for scab is
that of 8 pints Of formaldehyde and
% ounces of permanganate to 1877
bushels of potatoes in 1000 cubic feet
of space.
Similar spotting of potatoes re-
suits from exposure to the fumes of
ammonia, bromine or ether, and from
dipping or soaking in strong solu-
tons of corrosive sublimate and for
maldehyde. However, in the use of
formaIdehyde solution, the quantity
of potatoes treated has no appreci-
able influence on the degree of the
injury. The same solution may be
used at least ten times without loss
