ANOTHER POTATO PEST
 MAY BE INTRODUCED

Washington, Nov. 7-Potato grow CTS in the United States are informed by the Department of Agriculture that it is hoped that a potato disease pre- valent in parts of Europe and in Can ada may be kept out of the United States by quarantine measures. This disease is known as f'powdery scab.''
 The disease resembles the common scab, which is found widely distribut- ed in this country, although the two diseases are readily distinguished by several characteristics. Affected tub CTS first show rounded, blister-like spots, a sixteenth to an eighth of an inch in diameter. The skin over the pustu1es, soon breaks, revealing a dark-brown, powdery surface com posed mostly of spore balls which serve to propagate the disease. The spots later enlarge and deepen, and frequently coa1esce, forming large areas of diseased tissue, which makes the tubers unsfghtly and greatly re- duces their market value.
 Powdery scab is introduced into un- infected areas through the use of in fected seed potatoes. Although prac- ticaI1y unknown in the United States. traces of it have been found in one or two instances and it is important to maintain a close watch to see that it does not become established and further distributed.
 This disease is reported to be widely prevalent in Ireland and Scotland, where there is this year a large crop of potatoes, which the growers would like to export.
 A large mass meeting was recently held in Belfast, Ireland to protest against the maintenance of the potato quarantine by the American Govern ment, and resolutions were passed testifying to the freedom of the Irish crop from potato wart and suggesting that representative of the Irish De- partment of Agriculture proceed to America to, confer with Secretary Houston. They were, however, ap- parent1y under the impression that the quarantine was based entirely upon the wart disease, whereas the Federal Horticultural Board has also taken the occurrence of powdery scab into consideration.

Occasionally cough depends upon an
irritable condition of the larynx or bron-

The problem of stopping such cough
Is slightly different one. Even in those
cases Peruna ought to be taken, but some
times it is necessary that local Treatments

Peruna at once and commence taking it.

In existence only so years, yet the an
nual exports of black tea amount to
nearly $40, 200. 900 in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Cey1on's main in
dustry, but after a disease of the plant
in 1880 its cultivation was discontin-
ued- Many planters, however, re
couped themselves by tea and rubber
Thanks chiefly to the former article
the islands old prosperity revived To
day Ceylon boasts 1,50o plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation is
costly but very 1abor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the eli
mate makes it irksome. What is
wanted mainly OF employees is to
watch mancinery and feed it from the
stock of tea leaves awaiting treat
ment. The workers are not Sing
halese, but natives of southern India.

sixteen cents day, while foreman's
