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.
