London, Dec. 24.-Capping a grow
ing wave of suspicion, evidenced in
the liberal British press during the
past month, the New Statesman today

Potato MOsaic-A New Disease.

A disease known as mosaic and mo-
sale dwarf has recently become very
prevalent in stocks of Green Noun
tain and some other varieties of po-
tatoes in Vermont. The attention of
potato growers is being called to this
trouble, in order that such measures
of control as are known may be put in
operation. The disease is one affect
ing the foliage and is transmitted by
the tubers which, however, do not
show any sign of the disease that they
are transmitting.
The foliage of affected plants is
wrinkled and notified in appearance;
wrinkled and notified in appearance;
the plant often lacks the rich dark
green color and in many cases is very
much stunted and dwarfed. The alb
normal appearance of the diseased
plant is evident from the time that
the plant first comes out of the ground
and generally continues throughout
the season. However, in the case of
light, mild attacks the later foliage
may appear practically normal, while
the lower leaves still show the char
acteristic Wrinkling and nothing. The
cause of this disease is unknown. 1t
is, however, definitely known that it
is transmitted by the tubers and it is
thought that in some way the disease
is spread from plant to plant in the
field.
Mosaic cannot be controlled by
spraying says Professor A. H. Gil
bert, Extension Plant Pathologist
assigned to the Extension Service of
the University of Vermont and State
Agricultural College by the United
States Department, but may be re-
duced in amount and perhaps elimin-
ated by careful seed selection. Po-
tatoes to be used for seed should be
selected from the field or seed plot at
time when the foliage is green and
when diseased plants can be recog-
nized and discarded.
The use of a special isolated plot
for the production of better seed is
recommended. The selection should
be of vigorous disease-free plants
true to type; and all abnormal or dis
eased plants should be discarded.
Such selection as this should result
not only in very much reducing the
amount of diseases and the loss oc.
casioned thereby, but also in a more
uniform and vigorous strain of pota.

sale, are very considerable and may
amount to fifty per cent or more il
