Scabby Potatoes 
if you want to. 
But you dorit 
have to Just use 
Inoc-Sul 
Inoculated Suljohur 
It will positively overcome the scab organism 
and keep the crop clean , bright and marketable 
Inoc-Sul is dependable insurance against potato scab. It cleans up 
infected fields—it keeps uninfected fields clean. It is inexpensive and 
easily applied, requiring no special machinery. Broadcast by hand, fer¬ 
tilizer or lime broadcaster, or seed drill. 
Inoc-Sul strikes at the very root of the potato scab evil — it overcomes 
the scab organism IN THE SOIL, not merely the scab on the seed, as does 
seed treatment. 
Furthermore, sulphur is one of the necessary plant foods. Therefore, 
Inoc-Sul may function as an important element of fertility. 
Inoc-Sul when correctly applied to the soil will absolutely be of no harm 
whatever to the potato crop, or any other crop. 
Soils seldom naturally contain too much sulphur, and are very apt not 
to contain enough. 
Write us today. We will without cost or obligation tell you all about 
Inoc-Sul —what it is—where to get it—how to use it—how it will save your 
market losses. Tell us how many acres of potatoes you will plant and the 
name of your dealer. Our reply will be worth dollars to you.

It Pays to Treat Seed 
F. O. Williams 
O NE of my neighbors is always crab¬ 
bing about these fellows who have 
been telling us how to make two blades of 
grass grow wlterc one grew before. I 
don’t know but what he’s right, too, up to 
a certain point and beyond that he just 
naturally isn’t. It’s certainly true we are 
producing enough. What we need to 
know is more about marketing. We have 
got to produce the same amount we are 
now, only in the most economical way and 
produce quality stuff if we are going to 
get the most out of our markets. 
Those “two blades” fellows talk a lot 
of mighty good sense, I’m thinking, but 
fact is, lots of people are against them 
just on general principles. Yes, I refer to 
the farm bureau boys; they could help a 
whole lot more than they do if folks would 
only give them a chance. They can’t 
give out information on individual prob¬ 
lems if folks don’t ask for it. And you 
can’t expect them to run up to every 
farmer they see and say “Mister, isn’t 
there something I can help you with?” 
If they did, some fellow would up and 
have him hauling manure or something. 
And any one who has really and truly 
used the farm bureau man right knows 
mighty well he can help many times over, 
compared to what he could do as a hired 
man. 
Treating Seed Stops Lost Motion 
Now take just this subject of treating 
seed for disease. We fellow have been 
having a barrel of trouble with cabbage 
diseases. The plants drop right off for no 
reason to all appearances. Some of the 
boys just pass it off with “ it’s an off year,” 
and then cuss the farmer’s hard luck. 
Farmers have been running into hard luck 
—no doubt about that. But they can 
keep a good many of these losses from 
disease if they will ask the farm bureau 
fellow. How is a field of cabbage going to 
pay if six or seven out of every ten plants 
die in babyhood? It means that the 
fellow who plants five acres of cabbage is 
really working only about two. And if 
he planted two it means he works the 
equivalent of half an acre. And yet every 
time he hoes, cultivates or sprays, he 
goes over the full acreage to care for one- 
quarter the area of plants. “Lost mo¬ 
tion” is what I call it and no successful 
manufacturer will stand for lost motion. 
And it can be stopped by the simplest 
treatment of the seed. It sure would be 
wonderful if some of these fake-stock 
salesmen, get-rich-quick boys, pick¬ 
pockets, gunmen and their like, could be 
cured of their bad habits as easily as it is 
to clean up a batch of seed. 
How to Treat Cabbage Seed 
All that is necessary with cabbage seed 
is to soak it in a corrosive sublimate solu¬ 
tion for 30 minutes, rinse it in clean water 
and spread out to dry. Simple as can be 
and it will put an awful dent in the losses 
from such diseases ai black rot and stump 
rot of cabbage. The corrosive sublimate 
can be obtained at any drug store and the 
directions to make a 1-1000 solution are 
on the bottle. That is the strength that 
it is used. The seed is placed in a coarse 
cheesecloth sack,—an old salt sack is good, 
as long as it is perfectly clean. But take 
care, CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE IS 
A DEADLY POISON. See that the 
kiddies and stock don’t get near it. Place 
the seed in the sack loosely enough to 
agitate it. After it has soaked 30 minutes, 
rinse the seed in clean water and then 
spread it out to dry. 
In some cases where infection is not on 
the interior of the seed, this treatment is 
quite effective against black leg. Where 
the disease is on the inside of the seed, 
however, dipping the seed in just plain 
hot water at 133 degrees for 10 minutes 
will do the trick. It may kill some of the 
seed, but that which survives can be de¬ 
pended on to grow. There is a more 
severe treatment with hot water, but 
unless a man is growing seed, he better 
keep away from it. Even with the “10 
minute” method, it is better to have seed
