Peterson After 14 Years of Research Dis covers Treatment Which Will Prevent Decay of Tuber Grown in This State. Fourteen years ago William Pe terson. 471- North Fortieth street, was discussing with a Nebraska farm er acquaintance the lyerita and de merits of various chemical compos! tions used in spraying fruit trees. Mr. Peterson at that time was a chemist connected with the Ilex C’hemlcaf company, which then had its headquarters in Omaha. "You people have got your sprays just about pat." commented the farm er. "But this Isn't the best country in the world for fruits. What I'd like to do is plant a lot of potatoes, hut for some reason or other Nebras ka potatoes won't keep." Thus was born the germ of an Idea. During his spare moments. Mr Pe terson cogitated over this farmer's complaint. He collected all thekm wl edge he ronld about potatoes and he gan to make a few experiments in his home. About the aime time government expert* took up the same problem. They reached a conclusion a little aheid of Mr. Peterson. They advo cated dipping potatoes before they were planted. * lireat Annual !a»s*. But the farmer didn’t take kindly to the suggestion In the ' rst place, it was a nuisance. In £/ ■ second place, he wasn't sure It would work out. And Nebraska growers continued to lose thousands of bushels of pota toes by decay. So Mr. Peterson devoted his atten tion to the potato after It had reached its full growth. "There must be sum* way to treat potatoes satisfactorily so that they will not begin to decay as soon as they leave the ground,” he reasoned. He was a chemist, but he promptly vetoed the suggestion that a solution containing chemicals be used. People don't like food that is treated with chemicals; they are auspicious of it. And so Mr. Peterson devoted as much of hts time a» he could to devis ing a nonchemical solution which would prevent the spread of fungus on the Nebraska potato. Finally he succeeded and the oth«r day he was ready to send his descrip tion to the patent department in Washington. The Nebraska potato in substance is a superior vegetable But It W i not keep A month or so after it Is removed from the ground sprouts de velop an I a scab appears jon the skin. This scab spreads and eats its way into the potato. In a short time the potato is reduced to a state of com plete decay. Money 1/w.s to Farmer. i As a result the Nebraska farmer cannot get full price for his potatoes He must sell them as soon as they , me dug and the commission man and the retailer in turn must dispose nf them immediately. No time can be !• st. This naturally is reflected in the i price. Mr. Peterson’s research has brought out a treatment which he declares stops the sprouts and the scabs "The treatment is by a solution which contains no chemicals," ex plained Mr. Peterson. "Simply dip • I he potato into this solution. Any I time w,t tin two or three months after lie potato is removed from the ground Is soon enough This solu tion hardens and dries the skin and 1 makes It airtight. The scab is stopped I before it starts the potato cannot sprout end every bit of the moisture within the potato is retained." Mr. Peti-rsnn declares his treatment will prolong the life of the Nebraska potato five to six months. In small quantities tlie solution he uses cos's less than ■> cents a bushel. Thorough Test. "T have tented my treatment thor ougbly." saul Mr. Peterson at he ex hibited a number of potatoes. “These potatoes came from western Nebras k.i. You will see. that the potatoes I did not treat have become scabby. Those that 1 did treat are clean and firm." With In kn fe Mr Peterson quick ly cut open one of the treated pelta te x, The vegetable Inside was solid and quite evidently palatable. ' I |.ii> my potatoes in the fall, treat them and store them In the cellar." said Mr. Peterson. ' T have good po tatoes all winter. 1 store them any place, it makes no difference, the trsHtment alone does the work. "The fresh Nebraska potato is the best potato grown," he added My tre.ifmept keeps It fresh sod there fore makes it liettc-r than any other potato in every respect. Mr !’■ ti-rson 1ms msde no effort to market his solution. He says he docs not expect lo commercialise tt. ■ “Singing Mik."
