Washington, April 1. The problem of securing healthy seed potatoes is one of great Importance In the irrigated west. Potato growers of Utah and Ida ho are warned , by specialists of the U. S. department of agriculture that grown in the east or in for potatoes eign countries are no healthier than those grown in on their own irrigated tracts and that there the new diseases by danger of introducing seed potatoes. imported sav Planting Seed potatoes, these specialists. should be grown at home in a specially selected seed plot. Lrfind which has never; been planted to potatoes but which has for several years been under cultivation with alfalfa or grain is ap best adapted for growing parentlyseed potatoes. Raw desert land healthy should be avoided, as it Is not well adapted to potato growing until it has nrst been in cultivation with other crops, especially leguminous crops and grains. Select Sound Seed. The seed selected for such a. seed be wholly free plot should be accomplished In tne fol'mis canmanner: Select from your seed lowing potatoes tubers which show no external evidence of disease such as russet or Ithizoctonla scab, common scab or decays. Tubers having small pockets of storage provided dry rot may be used cut- out. No the decayed portion is, trace of the decay should remain. Tubers free from evidence of disease externally should then be cut into eeed pieces. The first cut should be made across the stem end. The stem end should be discarded. portion discoloration at If there Is any always deep the stem end, the entire tuber ehould be discarded; but if apparently healthy, the rest may be cut into seed pieces of the desired size. After cutting, the selected seed stock should be treated by soaking for two hours in a solution of corrosive sublimate. The formula for making corrosive To each sublimate dip Is as follows: of water add four ounces gallons thirty of corrosive Bublimate which has first been dissolved in a little hot water. In the solution, only making and using wooden, glass or porcelain vessels should be employed. Corrosive sublimate is a deadly poison and both the solution and the potatoes treated out of reach of farm should be stock. - kept Care of Sed Plot. The seed plot should be given the best possible care, as potatoes poorly cared for are apparently more susceptible to disease attacks than those which are the best opportunity to grow andgiven mature. Potatoes selected in and planted this manner should give a product comparatively free from disease, though it must be admitted that the planting of disease-fre- e seed on new land is not a guarantee of a disease-free product. A diseased product will mean that the land is infected and other land should be used for the that seed plot another year. TELEPIIOND D I R ECTOR Y. Kevr Jtook on Press.
