DIPPING SWEET POTATO PLANTS. Recently the Georgia Experiment station has received inquiry as to the advisability of dipping sweet potato plants in a corrosive sublimate solu¬ tion before setting in the field, for the control of black rot. We have not advised growers to practice dipping, because a solution strong enough to dis enfect the plants would certainly in¬ jure the tender parts of the plants. The disease can best be combatted by hedding only healthy, treated see l potatoes. The potato has a thin corky layer which protects it from injury by the solution. If, when the plants are pulled, the disease, indicated by dead blackened areas, is found on the stents, throw such plants away and do not let them come in contact with the healthy plants; and do not use other plants that grew near the diseased plants.
