Disinfect Potato House
Is Advice Given at

If the dust remaining in the po-
tato house after the potatoes are
removed in the spring is examined,
it is found to contain million of fun
gous spores and bacteria. The
fungous spores most abundant are
those of Pendulum, Rhizopus, Fusa-
rum, and such other forms as pro-
duce potato rots. Such spores are
produced in great abundance on de-
.caying potatoes in the bins and are
carried by air currents into the
cracks and crevics of the bins and
of the walls of the house; and the
great majority Of them remain alive,
though dormant, in the dry dust for
a long time. A sample of dust
which was taken from the floor of a
potato house and examined in Oc-
ganisms per gram of dust.
If allowed to remain alive in the
house, many will be dislodged and
will fall on the potatoes as they are
to terminate and enter the potato
during. the first few days of the
curing process when Y moisture is
most abundant. 1t is therefore
necessary to take special precau-
tionse to clean and disinfect the
house.
Several methods. Of treatment are
and floor may. be disinfected by
spraying with "a strong Bordeaux
mixture or with a strong lime-sul-
possible to kill all the organism in
the cracks and under the bins with
these solutions. The most salts
factory disinfectant so far tested is
IoTmaldehydf ba gas srav BENG gas It
could not reach with an ordinary
liquid spray. The gas is much more
effective, however, when the walls
of the house and the bacteria-laden
dust is moist. Tests at the Geor-
gia Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton have shown that dry fumiga-
ton, as often recommended, is not
an efficient method of disinfection.
Formaldehyde may be purchased
from the druggists under the trade
cent solution of the gas in water
from which the gas may be set free
by heat or by addition of perman-
ganate of potash. At present the
permanganate Of potash is very ex-
pensive; and it will be found much
more economical to use heat.
Under the present conditions. the
following method is recommended:
l. Remove all dirt and trash
from the house.
2. Moisten the walls and floor
thoroughly by spraying with water
and then close the house for six. to
twelve hours.
g. Estimate the number of cubic
feet of air space in the house and
use three pints of formalin to each
formalin in two. or three shallow
pans and set each pan over a large
oil lamp Or other burner with fuel
sufficient to keep the liquid boiling
two or three hours.
4. Close the doors and ventilators
tightly and keep closed for forty
eight hours, after which the house
may be opened and aired out.

Wise Potato Grower
Will Study Market
Before Selling Crop

Whether. to dispose Of his potato
crop direct from the fields or to
hold it for possible later increase
in prices, is a problem which con-
fronts the farmer every fall. On
the one hand is the buyer offering
figures based on the quantity and
other conditions of the market, the
tightness of money, and a number of
related conditions which may depress
the price. On the other, he is con-
fronted with the expense of storing,
the shrinkage in volume, possibility
of rot and the uncertainty of the
number of bushels of potatoes which
will be carried over by, farmers
throughout the U. S. to be thrown
into the market during the winter.
1t is a problem that has to be
decided, because the crop is there. 1t
is a problem that the farmer must
decide for himself.
Lowest in October
Prices naturally are lowest in Oc-
tober, when the crop is just out of
the ground. A study recently made

all sections of the country on the

that in 1917 and 1918 the March

was either lower than the December

has tended to increase as the season
advanced. The farmer may judge
for himself whether the same fac

I conclusions in deciding when to sell
| his potatoes.
In comparing the~psices of one year
with those of another, allowance
must be made for the rapid decrease
during the last few years in the
instance, $1.61 per bushel in 1913
and 80 cents per bushel in 1911 does
not mean that potatoes were twice
| as valuable at the later date. The
increase in price may have had moth
ing to do with the potato business.
1t may have come from the general
rise which increased the price Of
wheat clothing and machinery, as
we'll as potatoes. The effects of the
general increase in prices must be
eliminated from the calculation.
Potato Exports Small
| Before attempting to fanalyZe the
relations between the figures of pro-
duction and stocks on the one hand
and prices on the other, it should be
mentioned that potatoes are not eX-
ported to any great extent, seldom
more than l per cent of the crop be-
ing carried out of the country
Neither are potatoes carried over
from one season to another, as is
the case with some crops. That is
the potato crop is practically al
consumed in this country and each
seasons crop is a separate problem
in itself.
This is one of the large potato
years, and the way in which the
question of time of marketing. is set
tied by the individual farmer means
an immense sum of money in the
gross returns from one of the ma
TONS leading crops. The wise grow
err will study every phase of condl-
lions, and will utilize the aids which
are furnished by the crop and market
reports of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
