NEW POTATO DISEASE.
Com mi ssiOner of Agriculture PrOmul-
gates Warming to Farmers.

Vermont farmers purchasing seed pota-
toes from outside the state this spring
should use great care that the new and
dangerous disease. powdcry scab. is not
introduced thereby.
The federal horticultural board of the
United states department of agriculture
has qlarantined. on account of powdery
scab, the following areas:
Nearly all of AroostoOk county and por-
tons Of Penobscot and Washington coun-
ties of clinton and Franklin in the State
of New York These areas contain the
chief sources of supply of the large seed
houses of the country. Therefore. all
seed purchased by Vermont farmers
which are known positively not to have
been grown outside of these infested
areas should be carefully examined by
Vermont farmers before planting and
specimens Of tubers showing any signs
of scab should he sent to the Vermont
experiment station, Burlington. W., by
prepaid express or by parcel post, IN
packages marked with tho address Of tn /,
sender,
Powdery scab differs from the common
scab In that the seed cannot be trea ed
by any known method so that the spores
are killed. and In Europe cankerous
stage of the disease sometimes causes
almost complete loss of the crop
II means much to Vermont farmers 10
keep this disease out of the State be-
cause the penalty for not doing so will
be loss of an opportunity to develop a
profitable seed potato industry and will
mean the issuing of quarantine by the
federal government which will make It
necessary to have all Vermont potatoes
shipped outside OF the State carefully in
spected.
A little care exercised at this time. so
that the disease may not be introduced.
will save a lot of trouble and expense in
the future.
