RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN
SPROUTING SEED POTATOES
In order to obtain potatoes of mar-
ketable size early in the season many
market gardeners follow the practice
of sprouting seed potatoes before
planting. An experiment to determine
the value of this practice, relative to
the district served by the Dominion
Experimental Station at Lennoxville,
P. Q., has now been conducted at that
Station for five years. This experim-
ent leas each year consisted of a com-
parison of dormant and sprouted seed
potatoes of Irish Cobbler and Green.
Mountain, All seed has been kept in
the best available storage until the
first of April. At that time one-half
of the seed, of each variety, is placed
in shallow trays and sprouted in the
usual manner, the other half being
kept as doumant as possible until
planting time.
With the variety Green Mountain ' seed being practically the same.

I days earlier than from dormant seed
of Irish Cobbler. Accordingly, if
Irish Cobbler seed potatoes are avail
able there would be little gained in
earliness of crop by sprouting Green
Mountain potatoes. Owing to the
normal lateness of the variety the
vines, if properly sprayed, usually
remain green and healthy until killed
by frost. The additional start given
the plants by sprouting, accordingly
permits of a longer growing season
and a consequent increase in crop.
In general, however, it is doubtful
if this increase would prove sufficient
to compensate the grower for the ad-
' ditional expense of sprouting and
extra work of planting.
With Irish Cobbler the results
have been somewhat different, the
yields from sprouted and dormant
poverty abounded unto the riches of
their liberality." The secret was that
they "first gave their own selves to
the Lord." There is no problem in
stewardship and missions when we
do that.
E RLY SPRING
PRUNING
Winter is an important pruning
season. February and March are the
best months for that type of pruning
which must be done when plants are
dormant. Fruit trees and shrubs
and bush fruits should receive atten-
tion at this time.
Shrubs which flower in May and
June should be pruned after flow-
ering, and dead or diseased wood
may be removed at any time, but
most
with most plants winter is the
favorable pruning time and they
:Would have regular attention at this
season,
Sharp tools are important, for -
those that chew and tear instead of
cutting cause more grief than no
pruning at all. In cutting back
branches be careful to eat close to
a bud. Avoid leaving istumps even
half an inch long.
And unless you are shaping a
sln'ub to fit into 0 deIllerately for
)nal effect, never cut back shrubbery
with a straight edge as though it
were a hedge, but study each shtub
and try to help it realize its natural
babit of growth.
The prevailing practice of cut•
ting the ends of all stems has the
effect of destroying the natural habit
of growth and producing stiff, leggy
plants having all their greenat the
top and bare, ugly limbs beneath,
Such plants have been compared to
a pompadour hair cut.

Potato Seed Treat-
ment Questions
Answered
In preparing for the spring act-
ivities in connection with treatment
of seed potatoes, it is well to review
some of the questions unanswered
in the rush of affairs lastyear, leav-
ing doubt and confusion as to the
methoed used and its effectiveness.
Authorities agree that seed treat-
ment is beneficial and while this op-
eration is oocasionally overlooked,
the satisfactory experience of a few
in so doing must not be accepted as
a guide to the majority. IT IS AD-
VISABLE, THEREFORE, TO
TREAT YOUR SEED POTATOES.
In treating seed potatoes we have
any one of three chemicals from
, which to select for this purpose, nam-
ely, not hot formalin, organic mer-
' cury compounds, and corrosive sab-
limate. The first named gives excel-
lent satisfaction, when used at the
rate.of 1 pint of commercial formalin
to 123 gallons of water. The tubers
are dipped in thissolution for two
1 minutes when the temperature is
held at 118-124 degrees F. This is
a convenient method where large
!quantities of potatoes are to be treat
1 ed. An accurate dairy thermometer
is essential. It is often convenient to
haul the potatoes to a nearby cream-
ery where steam available to keep
the temperature even.
Organic mercury compounds have
much to recommend them as seed
potatodisinfectants. They are being
improved each year and it is expect-
ed that their use will render seed
treatment less troublesome.
The corrosive sublimate method
Shrubs in their youth throw up
young ,vigorous shoots from the base
constantly. But if these stems are
left without thinning in a few years
there is room for no more new
shoots and they stop coming. And
if the old stems, easily recognizable
by their rough bark, are pruned back
annually, the shrub soon becomes a
very different plant from what it
wbas in youth, But if the old shoots
are cut out yearly, new growth will
continue and by cutting out one-
third of the old stems annually the
shrubs ran be kept young. And
the graceful habit of growth which
gives the shrub its character and
far which it is chosen in the first
place is preserved.
I Exceptions to the rule that shrubs
• should be pruned at the bottom and
not at the top aro found in the case
of Hines and hydrangeas. Lilacs
may be thinned out at the base like
other shrubs, hut, in addition their

Hydrangeas should be pruned at the
bottom, though perhaps not so sev-
*rely as other shrubs; but in addi-
tion it is necessary to cut oft the
tips of the • stems severely each
spring, about one-half, if enc wishes
large blossoms. The reason for this
is that blossoms are formed late in
;the summer at the tips of •the cur-
; rent season's growth, and rutting
back encourages the growth of rig-
orous now branches witch will bear
flowers.

WILL BLOCK DIVORCE BILLS
3. S. Woodaworth, Labor M.P. for
North Centre Winnipeg, threatens
to oppose every divorce bill going

tent of House rules. He wants

bills for divorce which will soon

the Commons. -
consists in soaking the potatoes 1X
hours in a solution composed of 4
ounces of corrosive sublimate in 25
gallons of water. One-half an ounce
of the chemicals is added after treat-
ment of 1 ie hours. Investigations
extending over a period of four
years at the Dominion Labratory of
Plant Pathology, Charlottetown, have
demonstrated that one solution is in-
effective after the third soak. The
extra half ounce added after this per-
iod is wasted and would be profit-
ably used in preparing a new sol-
ution. Furthermore, it has beenlearn-
ed that the strength of the solution
weakens rapidly in the presence of
broken tubers and potato juices.
Therefore, this source of trouble is
to be avoided if success is expected.
General precautions include the
following (1) Dissolve the corrosive
sublimate in not less than one gal-
lon of very hot water. (2) Treat on-
ly tubers free from dirt. Throwing
water on the pile will help to avoid
this difficulty. (8) Use two clean
casks alternately. Plugs, made of
long sticks make it easy to drain the
casksafter each treatment. (4) Pre-
pare new solution after, three treat-
ments. (5) Do not treat in bags. (6)
Use soft water if possible. Hard
water weakens the solhftion. (7) 1
Put treated seed in a clean place to
dry quickly. Do not leave them in l
the basement. -(8) If, the water does
not permit rapid drying throw sever -1
