Killingsworthr CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 20.— Gains of 20 to 30,per cent in Irish potato yields have been secured as a result of seed disinfection, states Alfred Lutken, extension entomo logist, who says that a proportion al increase of prime potatoes, lre& of disease blemishes, is also secured at little expense, perhaps $1 per acr^. As seed treatment will control only the surface-bom diseases, common scab, black scurf (Rhizoc- tonla), and blackleg, Mr. Lutken. advises that seed potatoes be care fully selected, severe scab or scurf infected tubers being discarded along with those showing internal discolorations of any kind, and that certified seed be used in pref erence to seed of doubtful source. Seed treatment should be given before sprouting occurs and before? the seed are cut. The containers into which the treated potatoes are put should be disinfected also, unless they are of new material. Planting may be delayed several weeks after treating if the seed are placed in small baskets or crates ai® are protected from extremes of lemparature and too rapid dry ing. - The methods recommended are: 1. Corrosive sublimate, four ounces in 30 gallons of water, with an exposure of 1.5 hours. This time may be shortened to one-half hour by sprinkling or dipping the potatoes in water, a day before treating and keeping them covered until ready to treat. Metal con tainers cannot be used with this solution. It is a deadly internal poison, but not dangerous to handle. 2. Cold formaldehyde, one pint to 30 gallons of water with an ex posure of 1.5 hours. The time of treating may be reduced by the method given above. 3. Hot formaldehyde, one pint to 15 gallons of water. A tempera ture of 124 to 126 degrees Fahren heit must be maintained through out the treatment. The time of ex posure should be three to five minutes, but no longer. 4. Organic mercury dip, such as Semesan Bel, one pound to 2.5 gal lons of water, is sufficient to treat 16 to 22 bushels. It is an in- staneous dip and saves time in treating.
