O U R C O M I C S E C T IO N □ Disinfection Is Best for Scab Kills O rganism s on Tuber and Prevents Introduc tion Into Soil. Our Pet Peeve The Importance of seed disinfection In the growing of a clean crop of po tatoes is much greater than the aver age grower realizes. Potato special Ists at the college of agriculture In New Brunswlch point out that In tests conducted In 1920 disinfected seed showed an Increase of 83.9 bushels per acre over untreated seed. In addi tion to the Increase In yield there was a considerable reduction In the num ber of scabby potatoes. K ills O rg a n is m s . FINNEY OF THE FORCE Those Poor Freshmen! Not only w ill disinfection kill or ganisms on the tuber, but It prevents their Introduction Into the soli as well. This Is especially true of scab organisms. Unquestionably, I f seed treatment had been more generally adopted In the past, more growers would not now be growing scabby po tatoes. » There are two chemicals commonly recommended for seed treatment, for maldehyde and corrosive sublimate. Formaldehyde does not give as effi cient control of scab, sA the use of corrosive sublimate Is advised. This material Is a poison und must l>e kept away from animals; furthermore. It corrodes metal and must be made up and used In wooden containers. Mix Corrosive Sublimate. Mix corrosive sublimate ut the rate of 4 ounces to 30 gallons of water. The potatoes should be soaked In this solution for at least one-half hour, but If heavily Infected with scab or rhizoctonia, continue the treatment one hour. As soon as potatoes are treated they should be removed from the solution and dried. Corrosive sub limate Is removed frum the solution by the potutoes, so measures must be adopted to keep It up to original strength. This may be done by add ing one-half ounce of dissolved cor rosive sublimate ufter treating every four buehels. Seed can he treated for from four to five cents a bushel. Swine Flu Exceedingly Expensive to B reeders Since the Introduction of preventive measures for hog cholera, greater loss is sustained by hog producers from flu than from cholera. Flu undoubt edly causes greater flnnneiul bsts to the producer of hogs than uny other single disease. While many hogs ac tually die from flu the main damage occasioned by this disease Is the re sult o f loss In condition of the herd. When a herd Is Infected with the flu, even though recovery Is secured w ith out loss from deuth, there Is a tre mendous waste of feed, for the pork ers not only fall to gain In weight while affected v lth the disease, hut generally they algo l«r»e weight. When brood sows become affecteil with the flu, the problem Is still more serious because It very often causes abortion nnd i f not, many of the pigs w ill be born dead, so that the average num ber of pigs raised per sow, even though no sows are lost, may he re duced by 100 per cent, which makes the pigs very expensive. The thing to do Is to Institute preventive measures against tills disease hv supplying good, well ventilated sleeping quar ters, kept well bedded.
