The treating of seed potatoes is I one of the most important opera-, I tions in the season. In the first place only good seed s'hould be i planted. Disease such as mosiac and leaf roller, etc., are carried on ' the inside of the potatoes and treating treat-ing does no good for these particu-! particu-! lar diseases so poor seed carrying j these diseases will, possibly do no ,.(! Vw trpntinrr them. On the I other hand diseases such as scab, I rizoctonia and the skin diseases are l-controlled by using 4 ounces of corrosive cor-rosive sublimate to 30 gallons of i water, soaking in a barrel from j thirty minutes to one hour. The grower s'nould, by all means, ! get good seed and those who de-! de-! sire good seed can get information for both certified and common grown seed at the agricultural- office of-fice which will be far better than planting the .ordinary seed from I the vtl ley.
