NEw Theory OF Potato DISEASE AND
ITS REMEDY. David Ferguson has communi-
Gated to the Literary and Scientific Institute
of Kilkenny some novel views upon this i'm
portant subject. He denies the existence Of
any specific disease in the potato, and con-
tends that the apparent malady is attributable
to the natural decay Of the tuher, which has
been FASTENED by the production Of new va
rieties, the vitality Of which has been weak
ened by age. He says that the potato, like a
tree or an animal, has a graduating scale Of
ascending and descending life. Seedlings, for
example, viii increase in size and blossom,
from year to year, but produce no apples until
the sixth year. They continue then to pro-
duce seed for nineteen years, when the plant
will still blossom for ten, years, but no seed
will be produced, and its vigor and produc-
tiveness constantly decline. He indicates
several varieties, once famous, that have CONF
ipletcly died out and Others, in the process of
extinction, that have sunk in twelve years,
from a Weld of sixty barrels per acre to so,
40 and 80, which now blossom, but can
grow no apples.' Atthe age of ten years
variety il in the full maturity Of re-productiyc
yigor, and seed taken at that period will pro-
ducc plants that will continue green and
hourishing from five to seven months, giving
time for the full development of the tuber.a6
If the plant---whence, Of course, tho tuber
derives its nourishment from any cause pre-
inaturcly decay, its decomposing Juices win
be absorbed BY the tubcr and the decay Of the
pafentis thereby communicated to IL. 4 The
remedy then islto produce plants that sciz lise
long enough to furnish healthy pabulum for
complete maturity Of the tubet, and this can
be ensured by selection Of seed at the proper
period, and from varieties shat have not be-
come enfeeblcd by long cultivation. nor in
horitod sickly constitution by derivation
from immature seed.
