Marked popularity of ribbons as mil

out from the base of the crown, one

inches above it. This trimming is
placed either at the side or front. In

Keep the potatoes well cultivated.
Much depends on the way the crop

is not the only purpose Of cultivation.
Muck and swamp soils make excel

used for that purpose when it is i'm
practicable to drain them sufficiently
for vegetable crops.
Corn is the most economical plant
to use for silage purposes; not only
because the yield is larger per acre,

TO IMPROVE SEED POTATOES
Extensive Experiments Being Made In
Various States by Govern
ment Officials.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
To select strains of potatoes which
are best adapted for commercial pro-
duction, the United States department
of agriculture and cooperating state
agencies are conducting extensive ex-
periments in seed improvement. Trials
are being made In Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Oregon, Washington.
Maine, and also in Louisiana, Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas. Several
strains Of the leading commercial va
rieties now grown in the North are
under test, the purpose being to study
them carefully under actual growing
and harvest conditions in the field,
and to select the best strain Of seed
Of each commercial variety. The fol-
lowing year each strain will be grown
on a large seale. As the supply of
seed stock permits, the seed is to be
distributed among growers and seeds
men, and in this way is TO be gradu-
ally popularized and disseminated.
This investigation will be of country
wide significance in improving the fu-
ture stocks Of seed potatoes.

1t is through the use Of such ap-
rarently sound potatoes for seed that
the disease is often spread to new
localities.
How Disease May Be Spread.
Under ordinary conditions the pota.

lives in the soil and on the tubers,
so one or the other must usually be-
transported TO introduce the disease
into q new field or locality. The
spores may be carried into clean soil
by drainage from infected soil, on the
feet of men or animals, by planting
diseased potatoes, by planting sound
tubers that have grown on infected
soil, by the use of manure from ami
mails to which diseased potatoes have
been fed, and by garbage into which
Feelings from diseased potatoes have
been thrown.
Preventive Measures.
No method of controlling the potato
wart disease has yet been discovered.
so every preventive measure must be
used to keep it from spreading. The
warts should be burned Diseased
trbers 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-
tlorities are working to prevent the
spread of potato wart, but they will
need heartiest cooperation from every
grower and dealer of potatoes to
save the industry from this new
menace. Experiments are being con-
Quoted TO learn, If possible, ways Of
controlling the malady, and informa-
ton will be furnished as rapidly as
discovered. But potato wart disease
Is much easier to prevent than to con-
troll.
Keep watch at digging time for
pc tatoes with warty growths which
are whitish or light brown when young,
black and decayed when old. Report
all suspicious cases to your
agent, to your state agricul-
tural experiment station or to the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.

Potatoes in Different Stages of War. Disease.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The potato industry is seriously
menaced by a malady new to this
Countrywide potato wart disease. Un-
less it can be eradicated before 1t
spreads to commercial paintings,
specialists OF the United States de-
partment of agriculture say it will
cost potato growers millions annually.
II is easily recognized and when dis
covered it should be promptly reported
to federal or state agricultural Off
Gals.
Like many other plant diseases and
insect pests, the potato wart disease
was imported from Europe. 1t is with
out doubt the most serious potato
disease yet discovered in the United
States. Unless promptly suppressed it
may prove disastrous to the entire
American potato industry, which in
wolves nearly half a billion dollars an
nually.
What to Look For.
Two bright spots reduce the menace
of this disease.
Except in its early stages, it is cas-
lily recognized; and it spreads slowly.
However, it cannot be detected IN
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 1t spongy,
warty mass. 1t is characterized by the
prominent wart-like outgrowths on the
tubers.
The warts at first are whitish or
light brown. Eventually they turn to
n 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 re-
semblance to q potato. In some hills
some of the potatoes may appear per-
fectly healthy, but the eyes are likely
to be infected.
