Clean Seed Will Eliminate Blight.
A recurrence of late blight and
dry rot among potatoes can be pre
vented next year. Clean seed is the
great essential. Seed treatment is
not effective for this particular
disease.
The late blight dry rot exists to
a considerable extent among storage
potatoes, says E. C. Stakman, assis
tant plant pathologist of the agri
cultural experiment station, St.
Paul. If such lots are used for seed
next year the disease may again be
very destructive, especially if
weather conditions favor its spread.
It is, therefore, of vital importance
that healthy seed be used.
The Minnesota experiment station
pathologists have been misquoted
with reference to methods of secur
ing such healthy seed. The soaking
of seed potatoes is necessary in con
trolling some diseases, but treatment
with formaldehyde or corrosive subli
mate will not prevent late'blight.
Seed potatoes should be secured
from fields which have not had any
of the disease during the last year.
If healthy tubers are planted and
the vines thoroughly sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture next year, the
disease can be controlled. Detailed
information will be given shortly be
fore planting time.
