Even then it will be best for you to make sure that there are ro weevils in y 'ur seed slock, and this can on ly be assured by soaking the seed in a solution of formaldehyde, which will kill any weevil that you may have overlooked. Then be sure that you bed the seed in new land, that is land where no pota toes have bee«, grown for several years, if possible, and save a simi lar place in which to set your crop In short, the sweet potato wee v"11 present a problem which is en t eiy different than that presented by any other insect pest which we have to fight. We cannot spray for him and ge: satisfactory results, but we must beat him bv using good generalship The follewing facts concerning this ,pest shou d he remembere 1 as we must know the habits and peculiarities of the insect if we «re to wagé a success ful war against him Land which has grown infested potatoes, will harbor the insects tor several years, and we should crop this land to other crops in order to complete stare out the weevils before've ven.ure to again plant il in sweet potatoes. This should be easily done as it is only necessary to move off Jabout two 01 three acres from the old place. The potato weevil «is not much of traveler,and a comparatively short distance will generally prove an effec ive barrier to the n. As a fur ther precaution, we should nevei vse the volunteer vines which come up in the infested field, and we should be very careful about taking vines from a neighbor, as the commonest mode of infesting a new field is by introdusing th e Weevils into it by means of infest ed vines, By usidg these precau tions we should be able to raise clean stock Now a word about handling jthe potatoes after we have produced them. Did it ever »occur to you that we lose too large a propostion of our crop through careless hand ling after harvesting? If we take the trouble to raise clean potatoes we should certainly not store them in an old weevil bin or barn, and we should also try to lessen our usual large losses through decay, which are mostly due to improper storage. In this connection, I would state that the Agricultural Department has gone to considéra ble trouble and expense to solve tins problem for ut and the result of their labors is given to us in the Ventilated Sweet Potato Storage House. This house has given satis faction all over the potato section and if you are interested in it. I can turnish you with these bulle tins describing the method >f con slruction of new houses and the remodeling of o'd sheds or build ings to answer the purpose Geo.
