QUALITY OF STATE POTATO
CROP GOOD

East Lansing, Oct. 10.-That the
quality of the Michigan potato crop
is good this year, although the crop
volume is rather light, is the opinion
of H. c. Moore, potato specialist at
the Michigan Agricultural College.
The crop should handle we'll in trans
it and in storage, as no serious devel-
opments of Late Blight have appear
ed in the state.
Some confusion regarding the
Michigan crop has been caused this
year by the indiscriminate use of
terms in describing potato diseases.
Early Blight, or Tip-Burn, has been
serious in the state, but this disease
does not affect the keeping qualities
of the tubers, although it causes the
death of vines in the field. Late
Blight does affect the keeping quail
ties of the tubers, but is not COM
mon in Michigan this year.
