Two methods for treatment of cab- bage seed for the prevention of the very prevalent diseases—black leg and black rot-——are recommended by the United States Department of Agricul ture as very essential and low-priced Insurance, Mercurie chiorld seed treatment Is by far the simpler method and has practically no (ll effects on the seed. Its only Hmitation—and this is often a serious one—is that blackleg fungus, though greatly re- duced, is not entirely killed, dithough black rot is almost completely con trolled. When seed is known to be en- tirely free from blackleg this method is adequate, but when the seed is known to he Infected with blackleg, the hot-water treatment must be used, It will completely control the black- teg, but will reduce somewhat the per sentage of germination.

An ideal place is a celiar or basement that is two thirds underground. Such a cellar normally has sufficient moisture and fa less susceptible to changes In tem- perature than places above the ground. The handicap may be a lack of sufficient ventilation. Any room. such as a kitchen, that I hot in the day time and cold at night is usually undesirable. To operate an incubator under such conditions Is asking foo much of it. Attics of houses are very often poor locations because of in sufficient moisture. A cellar or spare room that can be kept around 65 de grees F., ventilated without direct drafts over the machine, and having an abundance of moisture, Is usually satisfactory. Hot Formaldehyde Good for Treating Potatoes The hot formaldehyde tréatment for seed potatoes, to prevent scab, Is as follows: Take two pints of 40 per cent for maldehyde and dilute In 30 gallons of water heated to a temperature of 118 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, Dip the potatoes® for two minutes, cover for one hour, and dry. Wooden erates or wire baskets can be used for dipping. An ordinary tank heater ean be used to heat the solution. A floating dairy thermometer Is a great help In regu. lating the tempeature of the solution, More than 530 bushels were treated by the hot formaldehyde method in less than six hours on a farm in lowan, where 15 potato growers worked to. gether, White Pine Blister Rust Is Injurious Disease Is Attacking Trees in All Growing Sections.
