FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1914, POTATO SCAB--PRE- VENTION BEST CURE First Treat Seed Tubers, Then Plant in Clean Soil, CONTROL MEASURES SIMPLE By E. C. STAKMAN, University Farm, St. Paul. The fungus causing potato scab at- tacks only the tubers. The genezxal appearance of affected potatoes is very well known. When a potato is first infected, a small, brownish spot usually appears; the infection may spread rapidly and eventually involve the whole tuber. In the late develop- ment of the disease the spots enlarge into rough, corky, brownish patches. Sometimes large cracks develop on the tuber, rendering it almost worth- less. The losses may amount to as much as 20 or 30 per cent, although usually they are not as large as this in Min- nesota. There is nearly always some scab present, however, and, when no precautions are taken to prevent its occurrence, the losses may be quite noticeable. The yield is not ordinarily very much diminished, but the value of the potatoes is reduced. HOW TO PREVENT SCAB. trol measures are comparatively simple. The disease may pe the soil and ‘on the seed tubers. Naturally, then, the only way to pre- vent scab is to free the tubers from it and then plant them in clean soil. In treating “seed” tubers to free them from scab, two fungicides are in common use. Formaldehyde is very widely used, and cor ve sublimate is sometimes used. They are prob- ably about equally effective, but for- maldehyde has the very distinct ad- vantage of being nonpoisonous, while corrosive sublimate is veiy poison- ous. If formaldehyde is used, one pint should be poured into thirty gal- lons of water and the tubers soaked in the solution for two hours. At the end of this time they» may be dried and kept indefinitely; or they may be cut and planted at once. In any case they should never be put in sacks, bins or other receptacles which have contained scabby tubers, since if they are, they may again become infected. In general, all seed potatoes not known with certainty to be scab-free should be treated before planting. Manure from stock which has been ° fed potatoes known or suspected as infected with scab should not be used on potato Jand. Every precaution should be taken to avoid the introduc- tion of scab into clean land, since it is much easier to keep the infection out than it is to get rid of it when ounce it becomes established. Causes of Stringy Milk. Usually the cow is not to blame for stringy milk, the trouble being due to bacterig (bacillus mucosus) in the milk atensils. Sometimes this is tracealle to contaminated washing water or to contaminated stables or setting the milk in dusty places. Clean up, disinfect and whitewash the stables. See that the water is pure. Scrub, cleanse and sun dry the milk utensils and set milk in a clean place where there is a .curremt of tlesh alr. Pnlmcal Annnuncements PAID ADVERTISEMENT (Tnserted for and by J. G.
