1t is not generally appreciated how
much we lose each year by devoting
so much of our irrigated lands to the
raising Of wheat and so little to the
raising of potatoes and other small
crops which yield higher returns.
The report of our state bureau Of
statistics, for instance, shows that in

Wart Disease

Wart Disease
The wart disease appears first as
little warts or wrinkles in the eyes
of the young potato, and then as they
grow together, a brown, spongy
scab is formed which finally rots and
becomes black. In general appear
ance, excepting color, this spongy
sc'b resembles pieces of cauliliower.
This disease causes the decay and
destruction of the crop, and If the
soil once becomes impregnated with
the spores of this disease, it will be
entirely unfit for the growing of po-
tatoes for several years thereafter.
The earth can hold and carry the dis
ease just as well as the potato plants.
This is a disease until recently not
known in the United States, and has
not appeared at all in Utah SO far as
we have heard. But in Canada its
ravages are becoming very severe,
and the slightest sign of its appear
ance among your potatoes should
cause you 10 attack the situation at
once. If you VIII report the case to
us we will instruct you how to go
about the stamping out of the dis
ease.
