FARMERS Arm! in
DREAD OF
POTATO PLAGUE

COLUMBUS. n. j., Nov. 2s.-Alarm
is felt among the farmers in this sec
ton for fear that the 'black wart,"
or potato plague, may have been in
troduced in this section last summer
through the planting Of seed potatoes
from foreign countries where the dis
ease is now found to be rampant.
Thorough inspection Of the crops is
being made to learn if any trace of
the peculiar malady SO fatal to potato
culture is to be found and campaign
against the use of any but homegrown
seed potatoes in planting for future
crops has been inaugurated.
The potato plague attacks the tub
ers, causing knotty, dark, wartlike
protuberances to form. The disease
spreads by germ incubation of the
soil very rapidly, and once gaining
a foothold in field cannot be eradi-
Gated under eight years. The fact
that 100000 bushels of potatoes were
imported into the United States last
year from foreign countries infected
with the disease, and some of which
are believed to have been sold in South
Jersey as seed potatoes, has caused
the State and national agricultural
authorities TO issue loud warning
to all potato growers.
