TREATMENT FOR ANTHRAGNOSE. 



A method of seed treatment for con- 

 trol of cucumber anthracnose and an- 

 gular leaf spot has been outlined by 

 W. W. Gilbert and M. W. Gardner. 

 Seed treatment, say they, can be done 

 most advantageously and with the least 

 outlay of time and labor by commercial 

 seed dealers, seed growers, pickle com- 

 panies or other wholesale handlers, 

 while the seeds are still in large quan- 

 tities and before they have been dis- 

 tributed to retailers and growers. 



Seed treatment is a relatively simple 

 operation and can be done in storage 

 houses if running water is at hand. 

 Caution is strongly given, however, that 

 the highly jjoisonous nature of corrosive 

 sublimate (mercuric cliloride) should 

 be kept in mind througliout the entire 

 process of seed treatment. 



In practice the following method of 

 procedure has been found advisable: 

 In order to get the mercuric chloride 

 into solution rapidly, an equal amount 

 of ammonium chloride should be used. 

 Purchase mercuric chloride and am- 

 monium chloride on the basis of one 

 pound of each to every 500 pounds of 

 seed to be treated. Make up a concen- 

 trated stock solution of a strength of 

 1 to 20, by dissolving one pound of 

 each in two and one-half gallons of

water. This stock solution is diluted to 

 make a 1 to 1000 solution by adding 

 two quarts to twenty-four and one-half 

 gallons of water. Stir thoroughly be- 

 fore using. Metal containers cannot 

 be used for the mercuric chloride solu- 

 tion. In making up the stock solutions 

 use gr.'initeware measures and wooden 

 pails; for the treatment use barrels. 



Place seed in loosely woven bags, 

 fifty pounds in each. The bags should 

 not be over three-quarters full to allow 

 for swelling of the seed and to facili- 

 tate stirring. Immerse the bag of seed 

 in twenty-five gallons of the 1-1000
