parasites. They infect the tubers
through wounds resulting from ham
ding while digging or storing. The In
fections may occur in the field or in
the storage houses. These forms of
decay may be controlled to large ex-
tent by regulating the storage condi-
lions. The stock should be stored at
a low temperature GA to 40 degrees
F.) in well-ventilated houses. Our
knowledge of Fusarium wilt disease
has not reached a stage where direc-
tons for the satisfactory control Of
TIE vascular parasites can be given.
It Is possible, however. to improve the
condition by crop rotation and by care
full selection Of the seed stock. Tu-
bers produced on infected plants are
likely to carry the disease, hence such
progeny should never be used for seed
Disease-free seed, however, cannot be
depended upon to produce 4 healthy
crop on infected soil.
Control In Seed Plot
aside from the specific means Of
control which have been mentioned,
the most practical method Of combat
ing the disease discussed is probably
that of the seed plot. For this pur-
pose the farmer employs in the first
year the best stock available, planting
1t upon his best soil type. and caring
for it In the most approved manner
From time to time during the growing
season the weak, diseased or other
wise undesirable plants are rogued
out. At digging time it Is highly de
sirable to harvest at least a portion Of
this field by hand, selecting those hills
whose yields approximate most closely
to the growers ideal. Tubers OBJ
tained in this way form the nucleus
for the next years seed plot. II this
method Is followed consistently, many
of the diseases which are now so vex
atious will be largely held under con
troll, and in addition the general vigol
and consequent productiveness Of thu
stock will be held at high level"

Potato diseases, which are showing
a tendency to become established or to
spread In various parts Of the country,
can best be controlled In most cases
through the adoption by farmers of
the seeded method Of control, accord
ing to DR.. H. A. Edison, truck-crop dis
ease specialist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. In discussing
the potato-disease situation and pos
sible control measures in a recent ad-
dress, Doctor Edison said:
"A disease Of the potato which is
making Its appearance In several Sec
tons Of the country is the one desig-
mated by Orion as streak. The cause
Of this disease is unknown. 1t Is
characterized by the appearance of an
gular spots on the leaves, which have
tendency to run down the veins
through the stems Of the leaflets TO the
main petiole, or leafstalk, producing
streaked appearance. The affected
portions Of the plant wither and die,
tho leafstalks break over at the axil
of the .leaves-that Is, their junction
points with the branches-with the re-
suit that leaves hang directly down

MORE HUMUs NEEDED IN SOIL

Soil requires vegetable matter to
make 1t light. porous and mellow.
Close, compact soil does not readily
admit moisture and air, hence soil or
ganisms that are so essential in break
ing down compounds and converting
unavailable plant food into available
foods for plants cannot thrive. But
when the soil has sufficient vegetable
matter decayed TO state that we
call it humus it admits air and water
and lets these plant food helpers thrive
to make the soil richer.
Close, clammy soils will never yield
as they should till the per cent Of
humus is increased. Ba-ayard manure
and turning under green crops are
common ways Of increasing the HUI
mus. By breaking early enough for

fords a means for infection Of the

disease, however, Is entirely dependent
upon weather conditions. In dry sea-

without insuring the development Of

that the original infections follow up
the stems from the seed tubers II the
weather conditions are favorable to
the development Of the fungus. 1t Is,

extent dependent upon weather condi-
