“DAMPING OFF”, a term used to describe the sudden wilting and 
death of young seedlings. It is caused by the presence of fungi in the soil. 
For treating small lots of soil at home, a simple method is by baking in 
an oven for about the same time as required to bake Potatoes. 
For larger quantities the soil should be sterilized in a proper soil sterilizer. 
The soil may be treated before sowing with Formaldehyde dust, 
8 ounces to a bushel of soil—wait 24 hours before sowing the seed. 
A pinch, between finger and thumb of Cuprocide (Red Copper Oxide) 
placed in a packet of seed and shaken together before sowing will 
be beneficial.
