DISEASE PERKS
POTATO CROP
European Black Wart Blight May
Spread Over Entire Country,
Expert Says

The United States potato crop
which in 1918 aggregated 400.000,O00
bushels, is endangered by a serious
disease the dreaded European black
wart, discovered in Pennsylvania in
September, 1918, and likely to spread
to other parts of the coutry, accord
ing to W. H. Wright, field collabora-
tor in plant diseases, United States
department of agriculture, Madison
who is conducting campaign in the
truck farm districts of Milwaukee and
neighboring cities.
PLANT patologists in 1913 formed
war board to conserve food supply
by controlling plant diseases" said
Mr.. Wright at is directing it's at
tention principally against the potato
diseases as they are, of all plant dis
eases, perhaps the most widely.
spread.
Is Most Disastrous
"The potato wart is the most dis
astrous disease. While the scab and
the scurvy are primarily diseases of
the skin, the potato wart acts the
same way as a human cancer, eating
into the heart of the potato and COM
pletely destroying it. While most pc.
tato diseases can, with extreme care
be eradicated from the farms and gar
dens, the black wart leaves it's fun
gus in the soil to crop out year after
year, and which only years of steam
sterilization and alienation of crops
can exterminate."
"The disease was imported in 1912
in a shipment of potatoes from Can
ada to mining districts of Penn
sylvania, where, ignorant people
would not take caution in the matter
1t has spread in three counties.
The government is exercising strict
est vigilance to, combat and, if pos
sible to eradicate the disease. The
districts have been quarentined.
Many Have Quarantine
Similar regulations will be neces-
sary in Wisconsin, should it spread
here. 1t would be a terrible disaster
II the fine potato regions OF our north
ern counties should become infected.
So far, it has not been discovered
that the disease is prevalent in Wis
consin Here also an ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure"
Mr.. Wright will give additional in
formation on the subject in The Jour
nal. G. E. Fawcett, superintendent
of the Milwaukee county agricultural
school, is also willing to assist in
giving of information, particularly
where the presence of disease is
suspected.
