It has been found that both diseases
occur on plants in the plant bed. and
that the amount of disease which
develops in the field is determined in
large measure by the amount of dis
ease found in the bed. Cases have
been seen where the disease has
spread from one field to another but
this has been found true only of fields
in close proximity, and there seems
to be little danger from this source if
the fields are separated by a hundred

The solution is made by adding one
ounce of forty per cent formaldehyde
to one pint of water. After treatment
the seed should be washed thoroughly
in water and spread out to dry The
seed may be kept for several mouths
without injury providing they have
been washed and dried thoroughly.
Formaldehyde may be obtained at
most drug tores and is usually sold
in the forty per cent strength. It is
a liquid which is non-poisonous, but
thc fumes are irritating to the eyes,

In treating, the seed may be stirred

The additional precautions which
are necessary are mostly self evident.
