Caution — The highly poisonous nature of cor- 

 rosive sublimate (mercuric chloride) should be 

 kept in mind throughout the entire process of 

 seed treatment. 



In practice the following procedure 

 has been found advisable and is recom- 

 mended by the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture: In order to dissolve the 

 mercuric chloride rapidly, an equal quan- 

 tity of ammonium chloride should be 

 used. Purchase one pound each of mer- 

 curic chloride and ammonium chloride 

 for every 500 pounds of seeds to be 

 treated. Make up a concentrated stock 

 solution of a strength of one to twenty 

 by dissolving one pound of each in two 

 and one-lialf gallons of water. This 

 stock solution is diluted to one to 1,000 

 by adding two quarts to twenty-four 

 and one-half gallons of water. Stir thor- 

 oughly before using. Metal containers 

 can not be used for the mercuric chloride 

 solution. 



Place the seeds in loosely woven bags, 

 fifty pounds in each. The bags should 

 not be over three-quarters full, to allow 

 for swelling of the seeds and to facili- 

 tate stirring. Immerse the bag of seeds 

 in twenty-five gallons of the one to 1,000 

 bichloride solution and agitate vigor- 

 ously to secure thorough wetting of the 

 seeds. Remove the bag promptly at the 

 end of five minutes and immerse at once 

 in running water and stir thoroughly. 

 Wash about fifteen minutes. Dry the 

 seeds as rapidly as possible. Forced 

 drying by an air blast is much to be de- 

 sired. 



The bichloride solution may be used 

 only twice, since its strength is reduced 

 by use. Make up a fresh dilution from
