Seed Potato Rot
In County Serious
fungus growth. It is not definitely
known yet, said Bond, whether the
fungus is carried on the seed when
planted, or has built up to damaging
proportions in the soil. Observation
o f many different fields and d if
ferent seed lots indicate both sour
ces o i infection may be responsible.
Seed rot of the type can be pre
vented by fungicide treatment of
seed before planting, Bond reports.
Observation of seed treatment trials
at the Malheur experiment station
and reports from the station nt
Corvallis indicate that where dip
ping of seed in fungicide was done
before planting, the rot has not
caused damage, even to seed lots
that were showing from 20 to 10
percent rot where planted without
treatment.
O f several fungicides under test,
a new fungicide called Phygon has
so far proved most effective. Dip
ping of cut seed potatoes for one
minute in a solution of 10 pounds
Phygon to 100 gallons of water will
give protection against the rot or
ganism. said Bond, who recommends
fungicide treatment for all plant
ings to go in yet this year.
Seed piece rot of early planted
potatoes has caused some serious
losses to potato growers of Malheur
county, reports Turner Bond, county
extension agent. The rot is caused
by a fungus, or small parasitic plant
growth, and causes the seed pieces
to rot in the soil before a plant is
produced. Reduction in stands of
potatoes have resulted, in amounts
varying from a few missing hills to
as much as SO percent of the stand,
Bond said.
Most serious hit have been plant
ings o f the Russet variety, but dam
age has been noted on Bliss T r i
umph, and some fungus damage to
sprouts of White Rose may be due
to the same organism. White Rose
plantings have not shown serious
seed rot, according to Bond.
Contact with A. P. Steenland. ex
tension plant pathologist of Oregon
State college, revealed that this
problem is being encountered in
potato plantings in the Willamette
valley, and it was at the college
laboratory that the responsible or
ganism was identified as a fusariuin Visit In Nyssa—
Visitors last week at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. George McKee were

MERCHANT, DOCTOR & HOSPITAL?
Do You Know What Your Batting Average Is?
NOW IS THE TIME TO FIND OUT!
When you receive a Pioneer Service County Credit Board
Statement bearing our registered trade mark, either Pay Your
Bill in FULL. PAY PART or SATISFACTORILY Arrange to PAY!
Almost all of your merchants and professional men in your trade area receive our
Monthly Credit Reports. These reports carry the delinquent debtor’s names and their
batting average. Anyone of these debtors who do not have a credit rating: such as a
“ P ” , which means P A Y IN G ; or an “ A ” , which means satisfactorily arranged— has a poor
batting average. And where he has no “ P ” or “ A " in front of his name at all— he has
three strikes on him and has virtually fanned out. Now you can easily understand that
with a poor battting average (nothing before your name) the merchant w ill realize that
you are not entitled to credit and have struck out.
R EM E M BER that the man who pays is welcome everywhere and the one who does not
pay soon becomes a social outcast, and loses his credit— something he may never regain 1
So why not keep your batting average good by paying your bills phomptly?

PIONEER SERVICE BLUE BOOK ¡S DIFFERENT
from any other book pertaining to credit information because we clear a debtor's
name (when he pays) on our monthly Credit Report, which is issued each month, or
twelve limes a year. By so doing, we give the debtor the full protection he is entitled
to. His name does not stay on as a permanent delinquent, as it does on other credit
books that do not make this timely change.
