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.
