POTATO WART DISEASE CAME
 FROM EUROPE Z
Federal and State Depart ments Are Cooperating
 For Its Education.

The Plant Disease Survey of the United States Department of AgriI culture and the Connecticut State Board of Agriculture cooperating, wish to warn pototo growers to be on on the alert for the European wart disease.
 Those who have been growing po- taroes in the past few years have per hans been struck with the increase in potato troubles The poor afflicted spud has some dozen or more fun s.ous troubles, not to mention the insects. Here comes a new one!
 In September. 1918, a diseased pO- tato was sent by a lady from High land. Pa. to Prof J. c. Sanders of the Pennsylvania Department of Az rfculrure and he at once recognized the importance of immediate invesd- gatlon. He took the diseased potato to Washington and the United States Department of Agriculture pronounce ed the scourge the serious European vvarr disease. A hssty survey of the situation showed that it was largely confined to little backyard gardens of the anthracite coal miners in a re- stricted region in Pennsylvania.
 How did the disease ever get start ed in America It is believed it was imported from Europe. possibly from England or Ireland. h 1912 the Federal Horticultural Board, in hope of keeping the disease out of America prohibited the importation of pota- toes from those countries where the disease was known to exist. Before the embargo went into effect. how ever, several million bushels of the crop of 1911 had been brought into this country from Europe and distri- buted throughout the East. Possibly the potato embargo of 1912 was an act of locking the door after the horse was stolen.
 What does pOtato-wart look like When small, the growths on the sur face of the potato tuber resemble warts; when larger the outgrowth re- minds one of a small, more or less spongy cauliflower, light brown in color, later becoming dark or even black Finally the whole diseased
