In not a single Inilanco did we find seed absolutely free from disease, al though some of It was very nearly o. It was, however, gratifying to find that almost every one Is plan- I nlng to treat his seed before plant ing. The three most common and ser ious troubles found were scab, rhtioe tonta and wilt. Almost every one Is ! familiar with the flrst named and the method of treatment for It, The j second Is frequently called the "I Jttle I Potato Disease," It is shown in the i resting stage by small Irregular dark colored particles firmly attiched to the skin of the potato although they I can be readily scraped off with the! finger nail. The disease attacks the young sprouts and later the crown and tuber stems of the plant. Such attacks may kill the young plants but more frequently results In, ro setted tops and hills of many small potatoes. This disease Is not con trolled by formaldehyde treatment but does yield to the corrosive snb llmnte application as does likewise the scab. So by all means nae the latter treatment In the proportion of one to 1,000. Dissolve two ounces of the corrosive sublimate In S gal lons of hot water and then make up to IS gallons. Soak the seed, before cutting, one and one half to two hours, not longer. Do not line metal containers. Rememher also that this Is a polaon and should be handled carefully. The wilt shows up at this time of the year In small dark ;ot and commonly a dark ring about equi distant from the surface of the po tato, entering from the Mem end. The only remedy for this trouble is to eliminate all potatoes showing any Indication of black spots or black rings when cutting the seed, and pininniiiiiitiiiiiiitniiitiiiuiiiiiii! m X "111 matcji my carbon copies against any in town for neat ness, lasting legibility and uni formity. always use Carbon Paper Bay jNmr ypevrtsf sssastes C. H. DEMARAY UllllllllUllllllllilllllllllllllllllilll J luntranu planting on ground that has not been used for potatoes recently. Another caution when cutting your seed po tatoes and you find you have rut Into one showing disease of any kind always disinfect your knife before cutting another potato, elae you will spread the dlaeaae to the already healthy potato. This dlaeaae Is perhaps responsible, more than any other, for the decreas ing yield of potatoes In .Joaephlue county. It Is the trouble that causes vines, after they are 6 to 10 inches high, to begin to wilt and often die down and cause so many mlaslng hills. This Is the year of all years that only clean, well treated aeed should be planted. We need the crop, C. D. THOMPSON, County Agricultural Agent.
