The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1918-03-28

So far as our experience goes, none
Of our present day commercial potato
varieties can be relied upon to pro-
duce economical yields when not
sprayed, if potato bugs are prevalent
in the vicinity. On account Of climat-
ic conditions during certain years, po-
tato bugs may not exist in great num-
bers in some sections. Consequently,
so-called 'bugless' potatoes may live
up the the claims made for them in
some localities each year and in all To-
calities some years, if bugs are scarce
or absent. If, on the other hand, bugs
are present, no practical immunity
can be expected.
During the spring of 1917, the De-
partment Of horticulture purchased
sample of these ''bugless" potatoes.
AS illustrated in the advertisement,
the potatoes resembled tn. Burbank
type; long, large, white tubers, while
those received by the Experiment Sta.
ton were medium size, rounded and
slightly flat, like the Pearl type. This
led US to suspect that either the "bug-
les" y variety is not very true to type
or that more than one variety OF pOta
toes might have had the "bugless" de-
gree conferred upon them for COM
mercial reasons.
Whatever this may indicate, the po-
tatoes as received were planted in our
variety trial plots. We intended not
to spray them but nevertheless by
mistake they received one light
spraying with arsenate of lead some
time during the end OF June. This, of
course, killed the bugs which were on
the plants, but in spite of this one
spraying the leaves were stripped off
the vines by the middle of August.
The yield Of potatoes was only fair
as compared with the other varieties
Our general knowledge and our exper-
fence with the "bugless" potato varie-
ty leads US to advise that the claims
made for it be accepted only with q
considerable degree Of caution and
that all potatoes, including the ones
called "bugless" be thoroughly spray
ed at the proper time.-N. D. Ayr

"BUGLEss" POTATOES

During the last few seasons social
ed "bugless" potatoes have been ad-
vertised on an extensive scale in some
of the farm papers circulating in this
state. MIR. H. O. Werner, Horticul-
turist of the North Dakota Expert
ment Station, reports on them, as fol-
lows:
The chief claims made for this va
riety are that while the plants are not
absolutely free from bugs, they are so
to such an extent that customary
spraying against the bugs becomes
practically unnecessary. Seed stock
of this potato variety are advertised
for sale, fancy prices are demanded
for it and evidently obtained as is
shown by numerous inquiries receiv-
ed by this station.
In connection with this matter, it
may be well to point out that there is
some slight difference in potato varie-
ties with regard to their resistance to
attacks from potato bugs, chiefly on
account Of variations in vigor and
thickness and amount Of foliage. This
difference, however, is too slight to be
of commercial value.
