SPEC[AL NOTICE BY A. I. ROOT. 



■all's not GOLli TH.^T GLITTER.S." POTATO ROT. 



On page 495 of our August issue I mentioned 

 planting a bushel of the Canadian potatoes pictured 

 on the opposite page. Well, I was rejoicing in 

 the promise of a splendid crop at the rate of over 

 200 bushels per acre of great nice potatoes; but 

 just as I began to dig them I found one or two 

 in a bushel that were rotten. Later the number 

 of rotten ones increased, and then I overhauled 

 those put in the cellar, and they were also rotting. 

 They were promptly taken out of the cellar and ex- 

 posed one whole day to the hot rays of the Sep- 

 tember sun, put back in cnh! cellar in open 

 slatted potato-crates, and the trouble ceased. The 

 bacteria of the rot, we are told at the experiment 

 station, are killed by the heat and light of the 

 sun. Burpee's Extra Early and Early Ohio, side 

 bv side, had no rot.
