"DISEASE OF POTATOES
|
| Growers Should Be Constantly
| on Watch for Powdery Scab.
|
| in Addition to Being Carried by Seed
| Tubers Trouble May Persist in In-
| fected Soil for Some Time—
Disinfection Is Urged.
Although the attention of sclentific
men was first called to powdery scab
in 1841, the disease had already been
known to German farmers for several
years. The first report of the disease
in the United States was made in 1918,
potatoes from widely separated sec-
tions of the country being found to be
affected.
Investigation shows that, as yet, the
disease has not made great headway
in this country and potato growers
everywhere should be continually on
the watch for it, so the disease may
be quickly stamped out. Bevere at-
tacks occur when potatoes are planted
year after year on infected land.
It is claimed that healthy potatoes
which have been in contact with dis
eased ones may carry powdery scab
This naturally leads to the supposition
that it may be spread by means of
sacks or other containers or by means
of tools, such as planters, ete. An-
other possibility is that plows, har-
rows or other tools used for working
infected land may carry with them the
germs of the disease to contaminate
portions of the farm now free from
powdery scab. Perhaps the most im-
portant fact from the economic stand-
point is that the disease, in addition
to being carried by the seed tubers,
may persist in infeeted soil for some
time, thus making it worthless for
potato culture. One writer claims that
manure of a pig fed with potatoes af-
fected with powdery scab carried the
germs of the disease. Other writers
have pointed out the fact that contam-
inated manure may be a means of
spreading the infection.
No potatoes shduld be planted with-
out first disinfecting them with formal
dehyde or corrosive sublimate, for if
by chance the healthy seed has be
come contaminated this would tend
to eliminate danger from this source.
By careful selection of only sound,

thoroughly healthy seed tubers, and
then disinfecting it is possible to en
tirely eliminate blackleg, prevent the
spread of ordinary scab, and also to
overcome some of the losses from
seed decay and so-called imperfect
germination.
After the sound, healthy tubers
have been disinfected great care should
be taken not to contaminate them by
allowing them tocome in contact with
sacks, barrels or planters, ete, which
may carry the germs of the disease,
to storage houses. After all dirt, po-
tato culls and rubbish have been re
moved from the potato house, the in
terior walls and floors should be thor
oughly sprayed with a solution of cop
per sulphate, five pounds to fifty gal
lons of water,
The amounts of disinfectants to use
and the length of time for treating
geed potatoes are as follows:
(1) Formaldehyde, 40 per cent, one
water, 30 gallons; soak tubers
(2) Corrosive sublimate, four ounces;
one-half hours in this solution.

Keep Animal Growing Thriftily, but
Do Not Fatten—Other Cardinal
Points to Observe.
The essentials of Brood sow man-
agement may be briefly summarized:
1. Provide suitable food, but do not
overfeed.
2. Emphasize the protein and ash
constituents of the ration.
8. Keep the sow growing thriftily,
but do not fatten,
4. Devise schemes to indoce exer
cise.
5. Provide warm, dry, well bedded,
well ventilated and sunlit quarters.
6. Avold constipation by natural
feeding methods, but resort to emer
gency remedies if necessary.
7. Kill off leo with erudo ofl, and
drive out worms with santonin and
calomel,
£. Practice gentleness at all times.
Hog men cannot afford to neglect
any of these cardinal points when the
cost of production is so high.

SEVERAL USES FOR SPRAYER'
Among Other Things It May Be Used |
for Spraying Hen House With
insecticides or Whitewash,
Sometimes the investment in a cer |
tain article for use on the farm may |
not seem worth while because the sery-
ice it can perform is limited to a
brief period during the year. By the i
exercise of a little ingenuity, however, |
an outfit supposed to serve a glven
purpose can be turned to account in
other ways.
Take a sprayer, for instance; it can
be used in many ways besides the
one for which it was made. Did
you ever try spraying the chicken
house with insecticides, or white
wash properly strained and thinned?
I have found another use for the |
sprayer that has added much to the
practical value of the outfit, says a |
writer in Successful Farming. Wall |
paper needs to be replaced from time |
to time and it is unsanitary to place |
a new paper on an old one. A spray- |
er is fine as a helper in removing |
the old paper. Fill the tank half full
of hot water, then create enough alr
pressure to produce a fine misty
spray. Apply this to the paper in two
applications, the first one just enough
to dampen the paper. If the water is
applied freely at first it will run down
too quickly from the surface of the
dry paper. But if it is first damp
ened the second application will be
quickly absorbed. The paper will then
peal off easily and the saving in time
and money ought to pay for an auto
spray and a good nozzle,
SOLVING THE MEAT PROBLEM
Cattie Must Be Considered With Gen
eral Agricultural Interests—Keep
All Breeding Cows.
If the government can take up the
cattle business and make beef by
statute, then the meat shortage is
solved, If not, we must aid and depend
upon the citizenship of the nation. The
cattle must not be thought of as some-
thing apart from, but considered rath-
er with the general agricultural inter-
ests of the country
Btock farming should be encouraged
everywhere. The calves and yearlings
will be needed at the silos and on the
farms and ranches -
There is no reason for antagonism
between the stockman and the farmer,
and when conditions admit of it. one
should be both, says a writer in Den
ver Field and Farm. They need the
game protective legislation for their
premises, for the health of thelr stock,
preservation of bird life and the do
struction of predatory wild animals.
We would advige every man who can
do 80 to hold his good breeding cows
off the market, because there is good
grass on the range, and roughness on
the farms going to waste while mi

“1 wonder why God made me.” said |

“Perhaps not much yet,” replied |
Dorothy; “but then he hasn't done |

this. We would not get so discour |
