ji. _ When planting in sandy loam plant deeper than in 
V^uirure heavier g rounc j ; an average depth being about 5 inches. 
Cut the potatoes with two or three eyes to each piece and plant 14 
inches apart in the rows, with rows 30 to 36 inches apart. It is ad¬ 
visable to allow the cut pieces to dry or heal for 24 hours before 
planting and many growers make a practice of dusting with sulphur 
or lime. Semesan Bel is now being extensively used for treatment of 
potato seed, for the prevention of seed borne diseases. Where pota¬ 
toes follow Alfalfa or Melilotus good crops can usually be had without 
the use of commercial fertilizers, however, it is usually profitable to 
use a good potato fertilizer. Keep soil moist at all times. When cul¬ 
tivating throw the soil toward the plants a little higher each time 
until the ridges are 6 to 10 inches high and proportionately broad so 
that the tubers will be kept cool and free from tuber moth infection.

DIP TREATMENT OF POTATOES 
To growers who wish to disinfect potatoes before planting, we 
highly recommend SEMESAN BEL, a preparation designed specifically 
to furnish an easy, rapid and simple method of seed potato disinfec¬ 
tion. SEMESAN BEL dries quickly on the seed, forming a thin coat¬ 
ing of disinfectant. Surface-borne organisms of rhizoctonia, scab and 
black leg are usually destroyed. The treatment also frequently pro¬ 
motes more uniform germination of seed pieces and often improves the 
stand and the vigor of the plants. SEMESAN BEL readily mixes wirh 
cold water. One pound will make 10 quarts of dip and will treat 
approximately 1,200 lbs. of whole or large seed pieces and about 850 
lbs. of small or cut seed. Prices: (4 oz. tin 45c) (1 lb. tin $1.50) 
(5 lb. tin $6.75) (25 lb. tin $31.00) f. o. b. Los Angeles. Write for
