TREATING POTATOES WITH ETHYLENE 
CHLORHYDRIN 
Causes Spring-Grown Irish Potatoes to Sprout 
if Planted in Midsummer 
This new, quick method (in use 5 years) has the effect of 
waking the potato or bringing it out of the rest period. 
Read Carefully How to Treat the Seed 
1. Dig the potatoes and let them dry 3 or 4 weeks before 
planting. 
2. Eight hours before planting, cut the seed in pieces about 
1 ounce in weight or the size of pullet egg. Cut small pota¬ 
toes in two. 
3. Dip the cut potatoes in solution of Ethylene Chlorhydrin 
and water as follows:

4. Allow the potatoes to remain in the solution just long 
enough to become thoroughly wet. 5. Remove and put in a 
container just as near air-tight as possible and let remain 
there eight hours. 6 . Remove and store in cool, shady place 
where temperature is under 90 degrees. 7. Do not treat pota¬ 
toes when temperature is above 90 degrees in shade, as it 
. - - will cause rot. 8 . Do not treat with any other chemical, as 
the combined treatments will cause rot. 9. Lay off rows in ground that 
has been well worked, open deep furrows so as to cover seed deep; plant 
early in morning, late in afternoon, or on a cloudy day; drop pieces 12 to 
15 inches apart, cover 4 to 6 inches deep; a low, moist piece of soil along 
a branch or drainage ditch is preferable. 10. Plant from July 1st until last 
week in August, according to season and location. Many plant early in 
September in lower Southern territory. It requires 8 to 10 bushels to plant 
an acre.
