warts should be burned. Diseased
tubers must not be fed to live stock
without first being boiled. Infested
soil should be planted to other crops.
Potatoes should not be planted again
in infested soil for at least eight years.
Federal and State agricultural au-

spread of potato wart, but they will
need heartiest cooperation from every

the industry from this new menace.
Experiments are being conducted to
learn. if possible, ways of controlling
the malady, and information will be

Except in its early stages, it is easily
recognized, and it spreads slowly.
However, it can not be detected un-
til the potatoes are dug, as it does not
seriously affect the growth or vigor of
the vines.
1t usually appears in the eyes of the
tubers. Spreading from this point of
infection, it may gradually envelOp the
whole potato and render it a spongy,
warty mass. 1t is characterized by
the prominent wart-iike outgrowths
on the tubers.
The warts at first are whitish or
light brown. Eventually they turn to
a darker shade After decay starts
they turn black. Young warts, when
exposed to the light, turn green.
The warty tumors vary from the
size of a pea to a walnut; or they may
even exceed the size of the potato on
which they grow. In the latter case,
the warty mass loses all resemblance
to a potato In some hills some of the
potatoes may appear perfectly healthy
but the eyes are likely to be infected.

menaeed by malady new to this
eountry-the potato wart disease. I'm
less it can be eradicated before it
spreads to commercial paintings, spec
ialists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture say it will cost
potato growers millions annually. 1t
is easily recognized and when discov-
cred it should be reported to Federal

Like many other plant diseases and
insect pests, the potato wart disease
was imported from Europe. 1t is with

disease yet discovered in the United
