For TINS work alone 10 or IL acres of land
are required each year. While progress
n securing results of this kind are neces-
sarlly SLOW, some promising strains have
been obtained which the Maine Station is
now propagating for distribution for seed
purpo 'es.
While much of the potato disease work
/ is OF cooperative nature, this is limited
to specific projects and the Station is
1ree at any time to take up Independent
lines OF investigation and is constantly
carrying on work of that nature. On
the other hand the cooperation of the
Federal Department is often of distinct
advantage. With greater funds and
larger stats of experts in more varied
lines they can concentrate forces on an
important problem in an emergency in
ways that the Station could never hone
to DO with its limited funds and staff.
by way of illustration, in 1916 what an
peared to be new and destructive dis
ease OF potatoes caused the death of plants
in certain sections of fields in midsummer
In AToostook this might mean several
acres, and hence thousands of dollars of
loss to an individual owner. Through
the combined efforts of the Department
and Station workers in the field, the fol-
loving tentative conclusions were OBJ
tanned with hardly any delay; First, that
the disease was not new and DANGEROUS
parasitic malady, as many people thought.
second, that it was destructive ONLY on
the poorer types of potato soils and, third.
that 1t was associated with a lack of pot
ash In these soils or in the fertilizer used.
Later experimental work showed that
THESE conclusions were we'll founded.
hence the difficulty was at once solved
and the way to avoid it (use of stable
manure or small amounts of potash DEM
onstrated.
