Potatoes will well repay proper care and attention at digging time. This is a statement of the potato men at the State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. They declare that bruising is especially to be avoided, and that ordinarily potatoes should be handled as little as possible when dug. If allowed to lie on the ground, they .yill dry so that hot much dirt will adhere to them. Careful storing for awhile in shallow piles is desirable as it gives an opportunity for the skin to tighten. This will avoid slipping of the skins which not, only permits an entry of disease, but is objectionable in other ways. If the tubers are to be stored, they should be carefully picked over, and the bad ones discarded. All bruised and cut potatoes ought to be thrown out for use immediately. Disease usually attacks them first, and, once started, it becomes very destructive and hard to check. The potato bins should be thoroughly swept, and if there has been trouble with rot in past seasons it Is wise to disinfect them. Painting or washing all Inside parts with a solution of one pint of formaldehyde mixed with twenty gallons of water Is efficient. After the removal of last years crop Is the best time for cleaning and disinfecting the bins for receiving the new crop. Storage below 40 degrees F. Is recommended whenever possible.
