EXPLAINS POTATO DISEASE.
Department Of Agriculture Tells How
to Treat Powdery Scab.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued a bulletin. entitled "Powdery Scab
of Potatoes" which explains this disease
and gives all the practical advice availa-
BILE at the present time regarding it's con-
troll. 1t is a European disease, which. the
departments bulletin states. doubtless
followed imported potatoes before the
quarantine law went into effect
Every possible effort is being made by
the department to prevent this disease
making inroads on the potato industry.
and the cooperation Of all interested in
this crop is much needed, 1t is said, in
dealing with this new potato malady.
Powdery scab does not attack the por-
ton Of the potato vines above the ground.
1t Is primarily a disease of the young
tubers. which develops as they mature
in the ground. The disease is apparent
by small, slightly raised pimples and a
slight discoloration Of the surface. When
cut open the infected areas appear family
purplish and extend from approximately
the outermost cells of the tuber toward
the deeper layers.
The .'powdery- fungus, il condi-
tons are favorable, may eat large cavi-
ties into the immature potatoes. Be-
sides consuming parts Of the tubers it
stunts their further growth and causes
them to be deformed.
