which has very curious leaves. Each
leaf has the mid-rib prolonged to a

its common name Of pitcher plant"
This again terminates in lid which is
regarded by botanists as the true

prepared by the United States Depart

The principal control measures
available to all farmers for use
against potato diseases are plant Sc
lection in the seed plot, tuber selection
N the bin, seed treatment, field spray
ing, and prevention through soil SAM
tatiOn and modification of cultural
practices.
Plant selection in the seed plot aims
ct the elimination from the growers
seed stock of the progeny of all plants
that are weak or diseased from any
cause. Each year a sufficiently large
area is set aside for the growers own
seed production. 1t is planted with
the best stock obtainable, Is properly
but not excessively fertilized, and spe-
cial care is bestowed upon it. All OBJ
jectiOnable plants, with their tubers,
Il any have formed, are removed from
time to time as the indications Of
weakness or disease appear. At dig
ging time further selection may be en-
ployed to remove the progeny Of hills
having normal tops but giving unde-
sirable or unsatisfactory returns.
Seed plot selection Is directed
against those tuber-borne diseases
which cannot be detected by inspec-
don Of the seed stock, but ut the same
time it is effective In such troubles
- black leg and wilt, and it is very
efficient means of removing varietal
mixtures and the poor yielding, though
not necessarily diseased, hills. 1t can
not be depended upon to restore pro-
ductivity quickly in stock containing
q high proportion of degenerate or
run-out hills. A new start with Wig
orOus stock Is the only practical course
IN such cases.
Selection in Bin.
Tuber selection in the bin IL best
carried out at the time of cutting. It
removes tubers showing decay, seri-
Gus mechanical injury and necrosis,
either external or internal, and is aim
ed primarily against the wilt diseases,
net necrosis, black legs and other de-
reproducing diseases from those con-
stitutional weaknesses frequently de-
veloping from the use Of partially de-
cayed or seriously injured seed. 1t is
not q satisfactory substitute for the
soed plot selection but supplements It
% good advantage.
Seed treatment Is employed to de-
strOy ~ the sclerOtia of RhizOctOnia
o. black scurf, (2) the scab-producing
organism present In common scab
spots, and (3) surface infection with
the black leg organisms which may
have resulted from contact with tu-
bers decaying from this cause. It is
also Of value In destroying the germs
Of some other minor diseases on the
surface of seed potatoes. Seed treat
ment does not reach black leg or other
types Of infection within the tuber
and Of course has no effect on Rhizoc-
