POTATO WART
New Disease Found in Two States and
Likely to Spread

New Disease Found in Two States and
Likely to Spread
The country's potato crop, aggregating
400. 600 bushels worth s7S,136,0O0 in 1913,
is endangered by a new and serious
disease called wart disease of potato,
known to be in parts of Philadelphia and
West Virginia. The disease caused
severe stringencies in Europe and in 1912
the United States placed an embargo on
all importations Of foreign grown stock
as a necessary security to the industry;
however, it is known that cargoes entered
several of our principal eastern ports i'm
mediately before the embargo went into
effect. These cargoes have been traced
to the consumers as far as possible with
negative results-yet the disease occurred
in Philadelphia In September of 1918 and
has beer discovered in West Virginia
within the last month, which necessarily
puts the entire country under suspicion.
Although one would expect the disease,
to occur in agricultural sections tho
reverse proves true. Thus far 1t is found
only in mining communities peopled from
foreign countries. Since our first infesia-
tons are probably due TO the careless
collection Of destruction of waste from
table stock, 1t is entirely plausible that
communities populated with people of
foreign descent and centers Of popula-
ton are OF the greatest Importance. 1t
is earnestly requested that all potato
users cooperate with the department in
its discovery by the careful inspection of
all potato stock
The disease necessitates n rigid quaran-
tine for an indefinite period Of time as a
preventative measure against further
infestation and is readily recognized by
rough. spongy out-growths varying from
the size of a pea to that OF the tuber it.
self. being produced on the tuber
especially at the eyes or at injured places
These outgrowths are light brown at first
but become black and readily decay,
causing soil infestation by the spores
thus liberated. Soil infestation has been
known to last years. The disease does
not affect the foliage tops so watch while
you plant or dig and report promptly and
