PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
There has been unusual interest
in the Sunday School recently, the
fattendance having increased over 40
‘percent in a few weeks. This has
been the result of a campaign for a
bigger and better school, in which
the classes have been divided into
the “Reds” and the “Blues” and all
working for new members. Last
Sunday the “Blues” won by about
five, while on the preceding Sunday
the “Reds” were ahead about the
same number.
Judge Sibley, who has had the
men’s class for some weeks has giv
en some very fine talks on the les
sons, and this class also is growing,
and every one is invited to come to
hear him.
In the church a campaign for the
various causes of the church is start
ing the first of March, and it is the
hope the Marietta chruch shall
be able to contribute its quota to the
progressive program.

SEED TREATMENT OF
' IRISH POTATOES
Two of the most common and
widely distributed diseases of Irish
potatoes are Common Scab and Rhiz
octonia or Scurf. Both of these dis
eases occur more or less abundantly
every year causing considerable loss,
especially to those growing potatoes
for seed.
Scab is caused by a fungus which
attacks the tubers causing a charac
teristic roughness of the surface. This
roughness is due to numerous irreg
ular diseased patches which take the
form of holes. These holes vary in
size and are from one-sixteenth to
one-fourth of an inch in depth. Po
taotes thus affected have a very ugly
appearance, are of poorer quality
than healthy tubers and do not de
mand the normal market price.
Rhizoctonia is also a fungus dis
ease and appears on the tubers as
small round black spots. This spot
penetrates only to a very slight depth
and may be scratched off with the
finger nail, however, as inthe case of
scab, the tubers are given a very
ugly and undesirable appearance. In
addtion to this, seed badly infested
germinate porly and produce weak,
unhealthy plants that are not capable
of producing standard yields.
Both disease are carried over from
season to season either in the soil or
on the tubers. In case of the former,
crop rotation will prove advantage
ous. The principal means by which
the disease is harbored and spread,
however, is by the continuous praec
tice of planting diseased seed. Since
this is true, the most advisable me
thod of preventing outbreaks of the
disease is to plant only that seed
which is absolutely free from disease.
Disease-free seed may be had at very
little expense by merely treating the
seed potatoes with some good disin
fectant just previous to planting.
Formalin is generally used for this
purpose, the method of treating being
as follows:
(1.) Prepare a tub, barrel or other
suitable container for the formalin
solution.
(2.) Mix the formalin in water in
the proportion of one pint of forma
lin to 30 gallons of water.
(3.) Dip the bags of uncut pota
toes (the amount in each bag de
pending on the size of the container
used) into the solution and allow
them to soak for two hours.
(4.) Remove from the solution and
allow the potatoes to remain in the
bags for one or two hours.
~ (5.) Empty bags on clean floor or
burlap until cut for planting,
- The method outlined above has
given good results at the Georgia Ex
periment Station and is generally
conceded to be a very satisfactory
method. ,
