nies. Therefore potatoes with large
colonies should not be planted.
The most effective mothod of
treatment is described as follows:
Soak seed potatoes in solution
of mercury bichloride Corrosive
sublimate) four ounces in thirty
gallons of water for one hour and
thirty minutes.
Formaline treatment will not kill
black scab as completely as the BIZ
chlride treatment. Mercury bichlo-
ride can be obtained at any drug
store. The solution should be placed
in wooden barrel, as it corrodes
metal. 1t should be poured out and
made up afresh after being used to
disinfect four lots of potatoes. 1t
IS poisonous to eat, but not poison
Gus to the touch. Treated potatoes
should not be eaten nor fed to stock.
After potatoes have been treated
they should be stored in new sacks
wich have been similarly disinfect-
ed in the solution.
Since the disease has already been
introduced here, and healthy ap-
pearing tubers may become infect
cd by handling, it would seem
that the only safe procedure is to
treat all seed potatoes by the meth
Cd outlined above. Only thorough
work in handling and treating seed
potatoes will make it possible to
control the disease.
If the writer can be of any assist
ance to anyone who wishes to dis
infect their seed potatoes, such as
sistance will be gladly rendered

Black Scab On Your
Spuds? Read This.

Reports are that potatoes recently
imported by St. David and other
farmers for planting have been
found to be infected with black
scab, disease which is a very Sc
rious handicap, and one which,
once introduced, will, it is said,
contaminate the soil for years. On
this subject j. w. Wright, profes-
sor of agriculture at St. David,
says:
The writer has examined sew
eral samples of these potatoes pur-
chased by St. David farmers and
has found unmistakable evidence
of black scab.
The planting of such tubers with
out first treating them is certain to
result disastrously for the farmer
Not only is the yield for the pres
ent season almost certain to be re-
duced greatly, if not total failure,
but the soil will become infected SC
that it will not successfully produce
for three or four years.
Black scab is a fungeous disease
of the potato which forms tiny,
hard, dark specs or germs, in colo
ny groups On the outer surface OF
the potato. These groups smay be
small or large, and have the appear
ance of specs of dirt When wet
they turn black. They stick very
firmly to the skin Of the potato.
When infected potatoes are plant
ed fungeous growth starts from
each tiny speck and attacks the
roots, underground stems and
sets or young potatoes. This
fungus destroys the ph1oem tissues
and prevents the passage Of elabor-
ated foods downward to the roots
and tubers. Large vines with small
and few tubers are the result The
disease produces small potatoes by
cutting off their food supply and
starving them. Such potatoes when
planted do not have the vitality to
produce vigorous plants.
The treatment given below will
kill small colonies Of the disease,
bnt no treatment has yet been dis
covered that will kill the large col
