Take Steps Now to Make Next Years
Crop Healthy.

Articles have appeared from time
to time warning potato growers
against permitting potato diseases to
become established. However, DUR
ing the past season the situation has
been more alarming than ever. 1t is
an assured fact that if potatoes are
to be successfully grown, more atten-
ton must be paid to the prevention
of diseases. This phase Of potato
raising has been neglected so long
that it is now absolutely necessary
to take vigorous measures in order TO
insure profitable crops in the future.
During the past season very large
number of complaints have been made
that potato vines were unthrlfty or
were whiting and eventually dying. In
every case the cause could be attrlb-
uted to one of two common diseases:
the internal brown rot, or "rosette.
Probably the most common one OF
these was the internal brown rot. The
loss in some cases was as much as
twenty per cent, and, in few cases,
even greater. Certainly, when pre-
ventive measures are both simple and
inexpensive, it is only good business
policy to adopt these measures in
order to realize the highest profit pos
sible from the potato field.
At this time of the year, of course,
not much can be done in the way OF
dealing with diseases. However, since
storage conditions determine, in large
measure, the amount of rotting in eel
lars, attention may proftably be called
to this phase Of the problem.
The fungi causing the wilt diseases
in Minnesota may live during the win
ter in the soil or in the potato tubers.
The amount of damage done to the
tubers during the winter may be great
ly reduced by maintaining proper stor-
age conditions. 1t has been found that
a temperature of about AZ degrees F.
will effectually prevent the develop
ment of the internal brown rot and
probably also the other rots. Under
conditions of ordinary cellar storage
the rots may develop rapidly, paving
the way for the entrance of secondary
organisms which cause the familiar
soft, foul smelling rots. The loss is
not confined only to the badly rotted
tubers, but indirectly there must be
considered to be great loss from
the planting of slightly affected tub
ers which may show only slight evil
dences of an abnormal condition..
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the absolute necessity for
taking precautionary measures at
once if good crops of potatoes are to
be raised. Specific information con-
cerning planting will be sent out be-
fore next spring. In the meantime,
proper storage conditions should be
maintained and plans made to plant
potatoes on soil which has grown
none for at least six years.-E. G.
