Btsidenco phono 636 and Blue 174 ToUto diseases, which are showing a tendency to become established or to spread in various parts of the country, can beet be controlled in most case through the adoption by farmers of the need-bed it ethod of control, according to Dr. H. A. Ed son, truck-crop disease specialist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In discussing the potato-disease sit uation and possible control measures in a recent address, Dr. Edson said: "A disease of the potato which is making its appearance In several sec tions of the country Is the one desig nated by Orton aa streak. The cause of this disease is unknown. It Is f hnracterlzed by the appearance of angular spots on the leaves, which have a tendency to run down the vein through the stems of the leaflets to the main petiole, or leafBtalk, pro ducing a streaked appearance. The affected portions of the plant wither and die, the leafstalks break over jt the axil of the leaves that is, their Junction points with the branches with the result that leaves hang di rectly down, swinging In' the wind and attached only by a portion of the epidermis. In severe cases the plants are eventually entirely killed. The trouble is apparently transmit ted from generation to generation by means of the seed tubers and there is some Indication that it is transmit ted from plant to plant in the field. In the absence of more definite know ledge of the disease, it is recommend ed that rogulng be practiced as a precautionary measure wherever it appears. Henry Ijos from Mosaic "Mosaic is assuming great import ance r.a a potato disease in certain sect'ons of the country. It ischar- acterized by a mottling In the green of the leaves, sometimes accompanied also by a crinkling but not a rolling of the foliage. The disease should not be confused with the uneven yel lowing which results from the appli cation of excessive water In irrigated regions nor with the somewhat dif ferent yellowing and rolling associat ed with excessive alkali content in soils, nor should it be confused with the condition of partia.1 absence of coloring matter, ossibly chimcera, seen occasionally in fields, more par ticularly in certain sections of the west. The cause of mosaic h is nev er hern determined but it is known that the disease is "reproduced when tubers from affected plants are used for peed. The expert rental data which have been secured both in the United States and abroad show that yield from mosaic plants is lens than that from healthly plants of the same variety grown under the same con ditions or in the same field. The average reduction In yield in trials made by the department with vari ous varieties and in several different sections of the-country is approxim ately 30 per cent. Rogulng out af fected plants In the seed plot afTords a practical though perhaps not com- "The late blight or me potato caused by Phytophthora infestans and the rot of tubers which follows in the winter are too well known to call for description. It has recently been shown, however, that the plant ing of tubers afTectod with Phytoph thora decay affords a means for infec tion of the growing crop. The de velopment of the disease, however, is entirely dependent upon weather con ditions. In dry seasons one may plant affected tubers without lnsur lug the development of the late blight but It has been shown that the orig inal Infections follow up the stems from the seed tubers if the weather conditions are favorable to the de velopment of the fungus. It is, therefore, advisale to avoid Infected seed when possible in addition to etnploynig the usual control by Bordeaux mixture, which is well-established practice. 'Recent Btudiea upon the powdery scab have demonstrated the fact that this disease in less serious in its char acter in the United States than was at first feared. It is apparently un able to survive except in the more northern sections of the country, ana the damage done there is. in many years, not serious. The disease is correlated with heavy, rather wet soils, or more particularly with sub soils of this character. The damage done is to a large extent dependent upon weather conditions eveu in these unfavorable types of soil. Decay in Storage Several species of Fusarium are now known to produce potato diseas es. These may be classified In two groups. The first is the wilt-producing group which attacks the vascular tissues and the root syBtem of the Dlant. cutting off hte water supply and causing injury in proportion to the extent of the invasion. In ex treme cases a yellowing, or at least an unhealthy green color and a char- actreistic rolling of athe foliage de- velon to be followed by sudden wilt ing and death. The tubers produced upon Infected plants frequently carry the fungus in hteir vascular tissue, as may often be demonstrated by the appearance of a darknd ring near their stem end. Infected tubers, stored under unfavorable conditions. may develop a serious decay, which is either of the wet or hte dry type according to the temperature and moisture. The second group in eludes other species of Fusarium, which are to be classified as wound parasites. They infect the tubers through wounds resulting from han dling while digging or etoring. The infections may occur in the field or In the storage houses. These forms of decay may be controlled to a large extent by regulating the storage con dltlons. The stock should be stored at low temperatures (34 to 40 de grees F.) In well ventilated houses Our knowledge of Fusarium wilt ai seases has not reached a stage where directions for the satisfactory control of th6 vascular parasites can be giv en. It Is possible, however, to lm prove the conditions by crop rotation and by careful selection of the seed stock. Tubers produced on Infect ed plants are likely to carry the di sease, hence such progency should never be used for seed. Disease free seed, howver, can not be de pended upon to produce a healthy crop on Infected soil. It luck Ia'H Caused by Seed "Black leg is a disease which, so far as is known, is entirely seed borne In Its character. In typical cases affected plants die In the early art of the season as the result of a black, relatively dry, decay of the stem which originates at the base where the plant comes In contact with the parent tuber. During the rany stages of the disease the leaves roil and the plant assumes & more or less stunted and bushy appearance. In other cases the disease progresses less rapidly so that the plants may arrive at full growth without show ing evidence of Infection. In some cases the disease is confined to the pith of the stem, not showing at all at the surface. Plants affected by this delayed type of black leg pr odce tubers which, however, are more or less seriously infected. It is Btock of this sort which perpetuates the di sease. All of the evidence accumu lated to date Indicates that the bac teria are unable to live in the soil even during a single winter. These organises are especially susceptible to drying and are also readily killed on the surface of Beed potatoes by common disinfectants, such as blch lorid of mercury. The roguing out of diseased plants from stock intend ed for seed is one of the most effec tive means of controlling black leg. This practice, coupled with treatment of the seed with blchlorld of mer cury according to the method recom mended by Morse, affords an almost complete control. KlilziM'tonU and liiack Ijcr "Rhlzoctonia, the cause of the well-known black scurf of potatoes, is also frequently responsible for in jurious diseases of the growing plants. It is very generally distrib uted in all agricultural soils and has recently been shown to bo a normal j inhabitant of virgni lanis. Its par-1 astlsin upon the potato njipears to bo correlated with conditions of envir onment. Generally speaking, those types of environment which are un favorable to the potato and whlcvh consequently weaken its vitality or lessen its vigor may be expected to result in increasing the injury pro duced by Khizoctonia, since the fun gus it.ieif seems capable of thriving in all types of soil ond under all con ditions of climate. The most com mon type of disease with which Rhiz octonia is associated are the killing back of the sprouts of young plants in the spring, which may bo spoken of as a danipnig off. the production of lesions or damaged spots upon the underground stems and upon the stolens, which carry the tubers, and in sev -re cases the production of a, drying of the external tissues of the' tuber. The lesions upon to stems are frequently present without appar L. W. BOWMAN rhyslclan and Burgeon OFFICE: First National Bank Bldg. PHONES: Office, 362; Residence, 10 DR. D. E.
