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

"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
