Directions Are Given For Treating
And Bedding Sweet Potatoes

! Directions for treating ana
bedding sweet potatoes have been
prepared as follows, and are
coupled with the reminder that
diseased sweet potatoes will not
keep in storage:
l. Do not treat and bed dis
eased sweet potatoes. Select seed
potatoes that are not diseased
with black rot, scurf, stem rot,
and soft rot, and treat to destroy
disease-producing organisms borne
on the surface of the potato.
2. For treating sweet potatoes,
use wooden or earthen-ware con-
tainers, because the chemical
used will corrode metals. When
large amounts are to be treated,
several barrels Of solution will
speed up the treatment.
3. Use mercuric chloride, which
may be purchased from any drug
gist, in lots Of four ounces. 1t
is a deadly poison if taken in
ternally.
a. To prepare the solution, dis
solve four ounces of the chemical
in a small amount Of warm water
and dilute to 80 gallons with cold
water. Prepare the solution and
treat the potatoes en- a clear,
warm day.
5. Dip the potatoes in the So
luton for Is minutes and bed
Immediately without washing.
6. Properly arrange and space
the potatoes in the plant bed, and
as soon as the outer surface is
dry, cover with sandy soil OBJ
tanned from an area where sweet
potatoes have never been grown.
The soil beneath the potatoes
should be disease-free, also.
7. After treating 10 bushels
! of sweet potatoes, add one-half
ounce Of dissolved bichloride of
mercury and add water until the
original volume Of water is OBJ
tanned in the barrel. Follow this
procedure Of adding one-half
ounce of the chemical after treat
ing each lot of 10 bushels of po-
tatoes, until so bushels have been
treated; then prepare a new So
luton. If the potatoes are first
rinsed in water to remove soil, a
uniform strength of the chemical
will be maintained.
8. When finished with the So
luton, pour it out Immediately
where it will not collect in pud-
dies (away from springs and
wells).
9. The chemical is easily re-
moved from barrels and other
containers by thorough washing,
after which the containers are
safe to use for other purposes.
10. After potatoes have been
treated they should not be used
for food. because a small amount
of the chemical will remain on
the surface of the potato.
II. Unless disease-free soil is
used for preparing the plant. bed,
seed treatment will be of little
value. If stable manure is used
as a source of heat there should
be layer of soil of at least
three inches in thickness between
TINS material and the sweet po-
tatoes.
The above directions will be of
little value unless plants are
planted in disease-free fields.
Potatoes should not be planted on
the same ground more than once
every three years.
