Watch the Potatoes

An extremely dangerous potato
disease, known as the potato wart.
has made its appearance in Penn
sylvania. The disease was I'M
dOubtedly imported from Europe
and is moving westward into the
country. Farmers and gardeners
are warned by the United states and
State Departments of Agriculture
to be on the lookout for diseased
potatoes. Diseased potatoes show
warts and are at first small, light
brown. spongy outgrOwths near the
eyes. These increase in size quite
rapidly, turn darker in color and
may become as large as the potato
itself causing the whole tuber TO
become a soft, black spongy mass.
This disease is one of the most seri-
Gus which affect the potato and
while it has not been found in Ken.
lucky TO date, il may appear in
those sections of the State where
eastern potatoes have been shipped
in for seed.
The Federal Horticultural Board
and the Plant Disease Survey have
placed R. c. Faulwetter in Kentucky
TO carry on an educational campaign
and survey in an effort to inform
the growers of this dangerous dis
ease and to locate il if it has already
made it's appearance in Kentucky.
If any diseased potatoes are found,
the grower should learn from the
grOceryman or seedman whether
eastern table or seed potatoes
have been sold on the local
market in the past few years.

GL[ANINGS
WATCH FOR IMPORTED PESTS
Little Excuse for Passing Stock In
Tested with Eao Masses OF Gypsy
or Brown-Tail Moth.

Prepared by the United states Depart
ment OF AgricultureJ
The main arguments OF DIRECTORS
to plant quarantine No. "a. which will
greatly restrict the entry Of nursery
stock and other plants and seeds. be-
ginning June I, 1919. are that either
no pests are brought In on such i'm.
ported stock or that thorough Inspec-
tlon abroad would eliminate any unde-
sirnble insects. There IL no question
hut that the chief exporting foreign
governments have given To their nur-
sery stock the best inspection which
human skill and science can afford.
Failures are due to the human equa-
tion and to conditions not subject TO
change, which make inspection and
certihcation insufficient safeguards
The inndequacy Of such inspection
since 1913, when Il became operative.
Is shown by the findings resulting
from relnspectlon Of imported mate

Home Garden SUBMISSIONS


DO not neglect the cultivation OF

soil loose 50 as TO prevent the loss
of moisture that is already i'm the
ground. This will mean cultiVatinc

every rain. Deep and wide cult

Such crops as sweet potatoes
usually rot less when the dirt is
thrown to the row, and it is advis-
able to hill peppers and egg-plants
in order to furnish support TO the
bushes when bearing their loads of
fruit.
Many gardeners will plant Gu
cumbers for pickles about this time.
White Spine is a good variety and
one-half ounce Of seed will plant
100 feet of row. You can plant them
in hills four or five feet apart each
way or make the hills two feet apart
in rows that are six feet apart A
fOrkful of rotten manure or some
rich soil from the woods, under each
hill, will work wonders. Sow six to
ten seeds in a hill so as TO allow for

some turpentine will help TO keep
the beetles away. After the Gu
cumbers get about six leaves the
striped beetles do not do much harm
but before that time, keep the plants
busted. Not over two plants should
be left TO develop in each hill after
the beetle has done its damage.
Cabbage plants to furnish the
winters supply should be trans
planted TO the garden the middle of
July. Louisville Drumhead is the
variety most widely used for this
planting, and they should have two
and a half feet between plants TO
allow room for proper growth.
About July IS or 20, when the soil
is moist celery plants should be set
