of potato tubers. We have examined
the specimens you sent, and find
therein nematodes, or eel worms,
which have been identified by Dr. n.
A. Cobb of this bureau as Heterodera
Radicicola, the cause of the root-knot
so common in Florida. The fact that
you have been rotating with cowpeas
will tend to invite this trouble, as
most of the ordinary varieties are
very susceptible to root-knot Pre-
