! seed potatoes Care in preparing hotbeds. Crop rotations. Before the potatoes are bedded they should be carefully picked ovtr All with black-rot spots and all badly mutilated potatoes should be thrown out. The sound, healthy ones should then be disinfected by immersing them for 10 minutes in a solution made by dissolving 1 ounce of mercuric chloride crystals in 8 gallons of waler In this work only wooden receptacles should he used Quantity of Solution Recommended Cor treating a large quantity of potatoes about 50 gallons of the solution tmay he made up at one time. After ■'resting the first 10 bushels in this 50 gallons, one-half ounce more of the mercuric chloride crystals should be [added, and also enough water to bring i the total amount of the solution once . more up to 50 gallons. The mercuric ; chloride crystals will dissolve readily in hot water. The. potatoes should be treated just before bedding. Rinsing in water after the treatment Is not I necessary. If mercuri chloride can not be obtained. the potatoes may be disinfected by immersing for 5 minutes in a solution of formaldehyde (commercial. 40 per cent.), made by diluting one quart of the formaldehyde with 50 gallons of water. This solution can be used repeatedly without losing ’ strength. The potatoes need not be rinsed but should be bedded soon after treatment. Preparation of Hotbed. If the old hotbed is to be used, the dirt should be carted away and re placed by new soil or sand from the woods or elsewhere where sweet po tatoes have never grown Thp frame work should be disinfected by spraying with a solution of formaldehyde similar to that recommended above. All decayed sweet potatoes and ruubish likely to harbor the disease germs should be raked up from around the bed and carted off or. preferably, burned. Cover the potatoes with soil or sand of the same sort as that used in msk in* up the hotbed. If manure is use ! for heating to he sure that it has nobeen infected with the disease germs by rotted sweet potatoes thrown on it | If the bed is near the barnyard, fence it in or cover it with chicken wire'to keep chickens, dogs, or other animals from running over it since they may carry the disease germs on their feet. Crop Rotation Recommended. By carefully following these dire'--tions. slips free of diseases may be grown, but they may still become diseased if they are planted on ground where diseased sweet potatoes were raised the previous year Therefore, it is necessary to plant the slips on new ground or on ground where sweet potatoes have not been grown for several years Mr and Mrs. D. E. Studebaker went to Ft. Wayne this afternoon on a business trip.
