AIM ls TO PREVENT lNTRODUC
TON TO THIS COUNTRY OF
SEVERAL DISEASES.

Washington, D. c.. Sept. 22.-The
federal horticultural board of the de-
partment of agriculture has decided to
continue indefinitely the potato quar-
antine that has been maintained DUR
ing the past year against certalh
countries from which our main I'M
portations of potatoes come. Inc
countries against which quarantine IS
to be continued are the British Isles
Germany, Austria-Hungary, NeWfouna-
land and two islands belonging to
France in the st. Lawrence river,
called st. Pierre and Miquelon.
The object Of the quarantine, which
was first imposed just year ago, Is
to prevent the introduction into the
United States of dangerous potato
disease, now unknown In this country.
This disease is known as the potato
wart, the. potato canker or black scab,
and Is prevalent in the above-mention-
ed countries.
viii Affect Price.
This notice is OF considerable i'm
mort TO potato growers. as 1t not only
insures their crops from the ravages OF
this disease. but also may AFFECT the
price of potatoes. Our potato crops
are accustomed to vary greatly, run
ming from a great shortage one year
to a great surplus the next The
quarantine shuts off practically all
supply from abroad. though 1t may be
noted that 1t does not affect potatoes
from Bermuda or Canada-and means
that we shall have to produce practic'
ally all the potatoes we consume Tor
an indefinite length OF time. The
