PREVENT 8WEET POTATO R0T8. Increase Production, Decrease Loss. Olemson College. ? Sweet potato rots take a toll from two to four million dollars every year' from South Caro lina, and as the time approaches for bedding, the way in which some of the more1 troublesome of - theso diseases get into the field should be kept in mind. * . Black rot, foot-rot, and scurf live over winter on the potatoes in storage. When potatoes affected .with these troubles are used for seed, the dis eases get un the sprouts and aro oar ried directly to the field. Seed pota toes should therefore be carefully se lected and no tuber used whose sur face shows any sign . at all of black ened or discolored areas. These diseases also live over from one season to the next in the old beds. The potatoes should therefore be bed ded each year in a new place where potatoes have never been grown or bedded before. These diseases are so common that it is almost impossible to secure pota: toes entirely free from all of them. Therefore, it is well to soa'k the tubers I 80 minutes in a solution of formaline made by adding one pint of formalise to 30 gallons of water. This treat-, ment, which win destroy any disease germs which happen to be on the sur face of the potatoes, can be made at any time before planting, provided the potatoes are allowed to dry and are stored In bags wr bins which hare been similarly treated. , By selecting and treating your seed potatoes yon can increase your pro duction and at' the same time make the potatoes keep better ne*t whiter.
