EXPERTS WAR ON
POTATO WART PEST
Z. E. SHERWOOD HERE TO con-
FER WITH COUNTY AGENT DAY.
les DISEASE FROM EUROPE.
FARMERS SHOULD WATCH.

3. e. Sherwood, Inspector from tie
q. S. Plant Disease division, as in
the city last week to confer with
County Agent Davies on the potato
wart, a pest that threatens the potato
industry in America The disease is
not as yet prevalent in this county
but certain other sections Of the
country have been afflicted with it.
The pest has caused great damage
in Ireland and England where most
of the imported potatoes come from.
The parasite lives in the soil for
many years and becomes steadily
worse if potato planting is persisted
in.
Signs OF the Disease.
The first evidence of wart are small
spongy outgrowths on the potato, es-
pecially in the eyes. These increase
in size and may grow as large as the
potato itself Not infrequently a num-
Der of warts may arise at different
places on the same tuber, causing the
whole potato to become a spongy,
warty mass. In the early stages the
warts are light brown, the color be-
coming darker and finally black with
age. Badly diseased potatoes decay
in the field and those less seriously
attacked are extremely susceptible to
rot in storage. Wart does not kill the
potato plant and seldom interferes
seriously with the growth of the po-
tato vines; therefore the detection of
the disease is difficult or impossible
before digging time. This disease al
so attacks the common nightshade
and the bittersweet.
What Causes Wart?
Wart is caused by parasitic fun
gus (Chrysophlyctis 'endobiotica
Schlib) which penetrates the outer
layers Of the potato and stimulates
them to abnormal development. thus
causing the characteristic warty out
growths. Millions of reproductive
bodies, cal,cd sporangia, are formed
In the wart tissue and are released in
to the soil when the wart DECAYS.
Some terminate as soon as mature.
releasing litters of spores which may
relnfect the potatoes and cause new
warts. Others are resting sporangia.
which may lie dormant in the soil for
many years until by cultivation or,
other means they are brought into
suitable conditions for termination.
How the Fungus May Be, Spread.
The wart parasite may be carried
into clean soil (1) by drainage water
from infested fields, (2) by the distri-
button Of infested soil Gas on agri-
cultural implements or on the feet of
men and animals9, 90 by the use of
manure from animals to which de-
ceased tubers have been fed, a. by
garbage into which peelings from dis
eased tubers have been thrown. and
especially 90 by the planting of dis
eased tubers or of tubers which have
been grown in infested soil and carry
the infection on their surfaces.
Farmers noticing anything they
think may be disease should get in
touch with County Agent Davies at
once. The potato crop will soon be
harvested. Watch for it.
