Mr.. Derickson warns Delaware

KENT SWEET POTATOES
GUARDED FROM DISEASE
Plants Treated With Dlsinfectants
Produce Better Yields

During the past six years field
demonstrations have been conducted
in Kent County to show the effective
ness of dipping the roots OF sweet
potato plants in disinfectant solu-
tions for the prevention and control
OF black rot, pox, and wilt, which are
diseases common to the sweet po-
tato crop in this section of the
United States.
This work is being carried on by
County Agent Russell e. Wilson in
cooperation with DIR. j. f. Adams.
plant pathologist of the University
of Delaware and the State Board of
Agriculture, in an effort to reduce
the prevalence of these diseases
which have resulted in considerable
losses to sweet potato growers. AS
only the roots of the plants are
treated, care is taken that the solu-
ton does not come in contact with
other parts Of the plants to prevent
possible injury. Immediately after
the plants are treated by this dipping
process they are set in the field.
In 1886 this disease control project
was conducted on the farm OF H. w.
Knapp in the FELTON, area. and the
materials used included Improved
