SCAB IN POTATOES.
Opinions Expressed by Scientists and Pro-
gressive Farmers.

The two principal desires Of the potato
grower are, of course, quality and guam
tity, and if only one may be realized the
former has the preference Potatoes
without disease are, or ought TO be, the
great aim in this day of rot blight and
scabby tubcrs. OF late years not only
learned scientists, but progressive farm
ers, have cudeavored to discover the cause
and preventive for scab in potatoes.
Some Of our ablcst authorities, includ-
ing DIR. j. b. Lawes, of Engand T.. s.
Carman, editor of The Rural New Yorker;
DR.. F. NJ IIexamer DR.. Henry Stewart
and Professor Goccsman, after extensive
and repeated experiments, have become
convinced of the efficacy of special com
mercial fertilizers for the potato. Mr.
Carman, who believes that wire worms
are at least one cause of scabby potatoes,
SAYS: "Whcthcr the wire worm disliies
potato chemical fertilizers or whether
these do not furnish the shelter which
the worm prefers we do not pretend to
say. We do say that in all of our tests
the potatoes grown with farm manure
have invariably been more injured with
wire worms than those grown with fertil-
izcrs."
The feeling very generally prevails that
manure, especially fresh manure, is pro
life cause in many soils, of potato scab
and ought to be avoided for this crop. In
general it is claimed that potatoes grown
on chemical fertilizers are more free from
rot scab and blight and are smoother
more uniform and Of better quality than
those grown ON unfcrmentcd stable ma
nurc.
In word. experience has proven that
organic maumcs tend to promote scab
and rot in potatoes. The organic sub
stance seems to afford soil peculiarly
adapted to the development of fungi and
insects, which in time attack the pota-
toes. On the other hand. results favor
the belief that commercial fertilizers
made from minerals and properly treated
| animal products are comparatively free
, from fungi, and that such fertilizers tend
to prevent or destroy any chance fungus
growth in the potato itself.

The chilled rlows have generally given
better satisfaction than those with steel
mold boards and are mostly better for
avoiding adhesion Of the soil. 4 personal

results than any single recommendation.
