Greeley Tribune

Greeley tribune:
In your issue of Monday under
the caption of Experts and Spuds'
1t is to me a great satisfaction
to note that our experts at
Washington have "cornered tho
animal that spoiled our potato crop
last summer, and have traced
his genealogy and given him
name. He is the same animal some
times found on alfalfa and my
friend. Prof. Buffum, has in former
years pointed him out to me and
shown me his destructive work on
that plant. Mr. William Stewart of
the department.. who was called to
analyze our potato vines, in his
final report says: "The material
which forwarded from Greeley
was found without exception to be
seriously affected with fusarium
fungus. Evidences of rhfzoctonia
were also present. The conditions
prevalent around Greeley were COM
mon to many other regions of the
west"

The United States geological survey
