Control. Roguelng and hill selec

control. Cutting of the stem end be
fore planting is advised if hill selec
tion has not been practised.
KltlZOCtnni Disease
This dlsoase Is caused by an or
ganism called Khizoctoniu. It in
marked by a variety of symptoms
such as blight, dry stem rot, rosette,
Utile potatoes, russet scab end black
scurf. The underground parts of
the plant are attacked, I. e. the roots,
melons (horizontal stems that give
rise to tubers), tubers and stems of
young shoots
Symptoms. Missing hills are
caused by this organism. Patches of
brown dead tissue develop on the
young stems. If these appear early
enough and are extensive enough
they may girdle the plant and kill it.
When the stolons are affected, large
tops are formed with few or no tu
bers. The foliage often Is yellowish
and rolled. If young, water absorb
ing roots are attacked und killed the
plain may yellow gradually as though
it were suffering from lack of water,
and show death of leaves, the lower
leaves dying first. Often rosettes, 1.
e. plants with an excessive number of
branches are formed, giving rise to a
short end and more compact type of
growth. If the stem is girdled near
the ground and the plant not killed,
sraalll aerial tubers may develop In
the axils of the leoves. If the gird
ling Occam further down bo that
some stolons can develop 50 to 75
small tubers may be pro'ueed in a
single hill.
Defoarmed. crooked and branching
tubers may be formed by diseased
plants. The skin often la corroded
forming "the russet scab." Often
times there is a sparse or dense weft
of fine brown filaments growing on
the stem and tubers. If these become
aggregated they givo rise to bodies
allied "sclerotla," mistaken for "dirt
l hat Will not come off."
Control. Practice roguelng, Held
selection of seed and treatment with
corrosive sublimate. This does not
solve the problem entirely since soil
ly sound. Field selection which Is
carried on In a Held at digging time,
even though it permits selection for
size, uniformity and freedom from dl- '
sense Is hazardous If roguelng has not
been practised.
A very excellent method is the hill
selection method. In this the held is
Inspected late in the growing season
and all hlllls tha show freedom from
disease are marked. At digging time
the hills that show the best type and
productiveness of tubers nre saved. I
Now is the time to begin to think
about your seed potatoes for next
year. Crow your own seed potatoes
for next year In a seed plot, or see
to it that your seed comes from some
one that practices the methods out-;
lined in this urtlcle. Practice has
shown that this is the only method i
to eliminate certain potato diseases.
