County Agent Notes
H. G. SeyfOrth

Seed potatoes must be disinfected
in order to reduce the injury on the
coming potato crop, according to r.
E. Vaughan, plant pathologist at the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
The very scabby potatoes should not
be used. The less scabby one should
be given a bath about ten days be-
fore planting, in a liquid made up of
four ounces of corrosive sublimate,
and thirty gallons Of water. The cor
rosive sublimate should be dissolved
in small quantity of hot water, and
then made up to thirty gallons of
water. The liquid should be put in a
barrel, cement or wooden tank. Do
not use a galvanized tank. Thirty
gallons of liquid will treat about four
bushels of spuds at tone time. The
potatoes should be kept in the liquid
for not less than thirty minutes, or
not more than an hour and half.
They should then be dried. If the
day is very damp, they should be
rinsed in clear water to wash Off the
corrosive sublimate. If the potatoes
are not to be treated, only the smooth
potatoes should be used for planting,
The best land to plant the potatoes IN
order to prevent scab, is new land, or
where clover or green rye can be
turned under. In such soil, the acid
condition lessons the growth of the
scab. If community clubs want to
take up this proposition of treat ng
the seed potatoes of farmers in a
community, | would be glad to help
them one day. Where number CT
bushels are dipped at the same time
the expense is lowered. Literature on
treating seed potatoes can be obtain
ed at this office.

es. They have chosen one of the best
companions they could find for their

tented and happy. If club work docs
that, then three cheers for club work,

roll.
Considerable limestone is being
used in the county this year in spite
of the. fact that freight rates are high.
One carload has been brought into
Spring Valley and distributed among
the farmers of that vicinity. A car
load is to be shipped into Ellsworth
the first week in May. One carload
has already been shipped to Maiden
Rock and another one is being signed
up for. Anyone wishing ton or more
from this second car to be shipped to
Maiden Rock should get in touch with
Mr.. C. Cravens or me. We hope to get
a lime spreader in the vicinity of
Ellsworth which will make the work
of spreading lime considerable easier.
''Plan to plant another tree" is a
movement which is becoming Nation
wide. 1t is designed to assist planters
in the selection, planting and care of

movement unselfish in every way and
is intended to create the greatest pos
sible good. The state needs this serv-
ice. We are robbing future genera
tions and it is the time. to awake and
unite every effort to save our forests.
Build our orchards and plan and plant
our home grounds. By so doing, we
will hand down to those who live after
us heritage greater than all riches,
because we will give to the future a
state filled with Gods beautiful trees,

students in journalism for three weeks
to get practical knowledge Of the
pleasures and difficulties in country
newspaper making. The first two edi-
tons have been very creditable ones,
although we didn't notice anything
about them, different from the ordi-
nary well managed weekly. If every
publisher could take week off and
take a course in the Journalism depart
ment at Madison, they could undoubt-
eddy learn great deal of benefit to
them. However, that is easier to talk
about than to accomplish for most of
