Diseases of Potatoes

Potatoes are subject to d number
of diseases. the 1drost important of
which in Arizona are Rhizoctonia
and Scab. Of these two, the form
er is by far the more serious. In
with the treatment and
control measures recommended the
appearance of the disease upon the
tubers and some other general
are briefly consider
ed.
The Rhizoctonia Disease,
This disease appears upon the
tubers as, small, warty, darkbrown
elevations, resembling dirt pert
icles that will not rub off. There
structures are known as the sclero-
tia and are much more CONSPICUOUS
when the tuber is wet Frequently
the diseases causes a light corrosion
or roughening of the skin to which
the term russet- -scab" has been
applied. This stage is usually as
sociated with a deep, wide, crack
or split very much roughened and
corroded Often a slight punCture
or sunken spot in the skin, reveals
beneath it deep pocket or pit re
sembling the work of some insect.
The object of seed treatment is to
kill all the sclerotia or any other
part of the fungus that might be
present upon the seed tubers,
Potato Scab
Potato scab appears upon the
tubers in crust spots, deeply cracked
and furrOWed. In serious cases
these spots may join together,
causing a general roughened ap
pearanc over the surface of the
tuber. Scab developes no scleaotia
or other structure upon the surface
of the tuber and causes no pits or
pockets as in the case of the
Rhizoctonia disease.
Similarities And Differences.
The Rhizoctonia disease is caused
by a soil fungus common in many
soils and supposed to be native in
some. Scab is caused by q soil
bacteriunl common in nearly all
soils and especially prevalent in
soi1es with a high humus content.
R hizoctonia is especially favored
by an acid soil, and scab by an al
kaline soil. Rhizoctonla is 1esseneb
by tue use of barnyard manure
while scab is increased by it's use,
especially if the manure is fresh.
1t has recently been determined
that the organism causing scab is
very prevalent in humus material
Il the process of decomposition
Both diseases develop best under
high moisture condition and when
once established in the soil will re-
main there for indefinite periods.
Both attack such crops as beets,
turnips, mangles, rutabagas, etc.
but have never been found causing
injury to such crops as wheat,
oats, or barley. Rhizoctonia and
scab are both subject to the same
seed treatment Forn1a1dehyde is
effective against scab but is very
unsatisfactory against Rhizoctonia,
while the corrosive sublimate solu-
ton is defective against both dis |
eases.
Control.
In the control of these diseases
the following system should be fol-
lowed
l. Use clean seed.
2. Rotate crops.
3. select soil known to be
uninfected.
4. Treat the seed.
The treatment recommended for
both the Rhizoctonia disease and
scab as follows.

SHOES MATCH GOWNS
OIL Paint May Be Successfully Useo
on Canvas F%ootoear; Opera.
Non 10 Simple.

It is possible to have pretty shoes:
at small expense to match light,
dresses, writes a correspondent. Shoes,
Of delicate cOlors are hard to find and
always expensive. One girl wanted a
pair of light gray shoes and this Is
how she managed: She had a pair OF
white canvas shoes which were some
what soiled. She first scrubbed them
with good white soap and water, using
q small brush, then drying them in the
sunshine. She then mixed q little black
and white oil paint until the desired
gray shade was obtained. This she.
mixed In a cup half full Of turpentine.
Very little paint Is needed. Just.
enough to color the canvas. Brush the
liquid owe the shoes with q small
paint brush and you will be surprised
to find how nice they look. They dry
with no streaks. Match them in rib
bon for ties. OF course n color&
may be made to match any gown. The
artists paint Is not expensive, tho
black and white are only q few cents
q tube each.

White, With Braiding
to Suit.
Skirt % Very Marrow: Back Of Coat
Section Plain; New Fabric Fine
for Separate Garment.

Frocks OF heavy linen, smartly tail.
ored, are fashionable for warm
weather wear. They are expensive
when bought ready to wear, and Ger.
tainly not particularly cheap when
made at home, as good linen fabrics
are scarce and very high in price.
But unless one wishes to wait until
the very end Of the season, when
mark-down sales have brought prices
to q reasonable level, making things
at home is q less expensive method
of dressing than purchasing them
ready to wear. and certainly more in
dividuality Is possible.
The sket,h offers a suggestion for q
linen frOck, which may be developed
In white with soutache brai Aing in
navy, yellow or other color, or the
gown may be In color with white
braiding. It IL q slip-over affair. an

opening about five inches deep at the
side front making this possible. The
sash, tied loosely, may be in a color
to match either the frock or trim
ming.
The skirt OF the dress Is very mar
row, measuring not more than III
yards in width, and the back Of the
coat section Is entirely plain, with
only a short round yoke formed by
a continuation Of the front panels,
braided, to relieve its severity.
A very interesting and lovely cot
ton fabric brought out this season,
and which Is being used in large
quantity for separate skirts, might
be selected for this frOck.
The material is satin finished and
closely Stimulates silk satin. It laun-
ders well and while closely woven
and with q Arm texture 1t Is not as
heavy in weight as the linens usu.
ally selected for tailored garments.
Sateen Is an old-time favorite, but
this new material does not show the
twill that sateen has.
