BEST METHODS OF DISIN-
FECTING POTATO BINS

1t will soon be time to arrange
for storing potatoes for winter
use and for seed purposes next
year. Z. G. Wood, extension spec
ialist in horticulture, says that
bins should be disinfected and
cleaned before potatoes are stor-
ed. In order to kill all the rot
producing organisms already pres
ent, storage places, particularly
those in which rotting of potatoes
was bad the previous year, should
be thoroughly cleaned and dism-
fected before potatoes are again
placed in storage. To accomplish
this, the storage places may be
swabbed or sprayed with either
of the following solutions:
Copper sulphatc (bluestone),
one pound; water, 10 gallons, or
formaldehyde, one pint; water,
10 gallons.
After being disinfected the
storage place should be well aired
and dried out before potatoes are
again placed in it.
