Due consideration was given to the
fact OF poor drainage and also 10 ex.

much OF the failure. SIN Il seemed a

be extraordinary amounts OF soluble

FUNGUS POTATOES.
Old Disease That Is Caused BY Too
Much Wet Weather.

Last July ana early IN August we
had considerable wet weather. The
potato tops suffered buddy from d
blight However. the vine recovered
sufficiently to mature fair crop. All
through the winter the query Was.
What makes the cooked potato have
such a sweet tasteY' And again on
cutting the tuber a brownish streak
or bictch appears all through the tu-
Der. resembling marble cake. This
is seated mostly beneath where the
eyes are aud about one-eighth OF an
inch from the surface. The potato
shows no outward sign OF disease ex-
cept that the eyes do not push as rap
Idly on a diseased potato as they do
on one free from 1t. These streaks are
about one inch long and one-fourfh
inch wide.
The query was, what caused that
peculiar streaking in the tuberY" 10
looking over a history OF fHngoids and
dungeons disease of the potato we find
that very similar condition existed
In Ireland In iS45. resulting in a great
potato famine there That year was
very wet year, and the natural moist
climate OF Ireland gave a great i'm
petus to This disease. 1t has not reap
peared to any great extent TIL last

potato scab either on the tuber or the
foliage. In this disease the leaves turn
a brownish hlack color and drop or,
while The stalk or stem may retain
some vitality even to sending out du-
plicate leaves. though much smaller
The disease is. however carried down
to the tuher and is seen there as de-
seribed. IN dry seasons or in dry sec
tons no alarm need be felt as TO the
disease spreading. but in low moist
