The Rot among Tie Potatoes. we
regret 10 learn, as we do from the com
munica,ion in another column, and the
specimen of potatoes, that the fell dis
case is already at work, thus early, a.
mong this valuable es2ulent. 1t is evil
dent from the specimen before us, that
commencement and progress OF the dis
ease have been as they generally have
beeu, beginning in the leaf, then affect
ing the stalk, and passing down into the
potaoe.
The leaves are much affected, the stalk
slightly, and on the potatoes the disease
is percepliblc on close inspection, the ap
pearance being similar to iron rust. We
have some accounts, and only few com
paratyely, Of he disease commencing in
The stalk near the potatoes. In snch ca
ses ii may have been produced by decay
ed seed.
We lave been in several towns lately,
and have noticed that potatoes appear re-
markedly vigorous, and we yet hope that
the disease VIII not be extensive nor gen.
eral, though i, has in this case appeared
early, and i, may come very suddenly.
liappears from our foreign papers, that
in some sections in England, the early
potatoes were affected with the rot but
generally they were very vigorous and
healthy. AS tic season is very favorable,
and the reverse Of that Of last year, il is
supposed tina, the disease is owing TO
planting affected tubers, and not 10 the at
mosphere. or the general cause that has
produced the disease. In Ireland and
Scotland, potatoes were very healthy and
promising, and no cases Of the disease
had been repored,-Cuhiuato
Upon the above subject The Brooklyn
Eagle has the following;-
F" The Polatoe Crop.-Wc regret to
hear dat the heretofore liberal prospect
Of large and good crop of this mos
useful vegetable, is in many places in this
country, entirely destroyed. In Flaibush
and Fladands many Of the farmers have
ploughed up their fields and re-planled
Them. At the poor house there will no,
be third Of a crop, and what there is
will be Of miserable quality. The cause
we do not learn, but it is something tina
has occurred to the crop within the pas
fortnight. Three weeks ago, we never
saw finer looking fields than the Potato,
