Potato Varieties
Free From Wart
Tests Show That American
Species May Be Planted
in Infested Areas.

(Prepared by the United Staten Department
of Agriculture.)
~ It is now we'll established that po-
tato culture need nowhere be aban-
doned on account of the prevalence of
potato-wart disease, so long as suit
able immune varieties are available,
according to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Cooperative
tests conducted by the department
have shown that there are a number
Of American varieties of potatoes
which are immune from the disease
and may safely be planted in infested
areas. The results of these tests, COW
ering a period of from one to four
years, are discussed in Department
Bulletin 1855 just published and now
ready for distribution.
Immune Varieties.
A, few of the principal varieties
which have proved to be immune are
Early Eureka, Early Petoskey, First
Early, Cordon's Early Snowflake,
Flourball and Irish Cobbler belonging
to the Cobbler group; Early Harvest,
Ehnola, Extra Early Sunlight, and
White Albino of the Early Michigan
group; Spaulding Rose, of the Rose
group; Burbank, of the Burbank
group; Bountiful, Delaware, Gold
Coin, Green Mountain, Green Mountain
Junior, Idaho Rural, AlcGregor, Nc
Kinley, and NOrcross of the Green
Mountain group, as we'll as number
of others.
Quarantine Policy.
The use of wart-immune varieties of
potatoes was adopted as quarantine
policy in 1920, the disease first having
made it's appearance in this country
in 1918. AS a preliminary step in this
direction all owners of gardens and
fields actually infested with potato
wart were permitted to grow only
wart-immune varieties. The particular
variety selected for this purpose was
Spaulding Rose, which is potato of
good commercial quality and in addi-
ton possesses such outstanding vari-
etal characteristics that the detection
of mixtures is comparatively easy dur
ing the whole season of summer in
spection.
A survey to determine the geo.
graphical location and extent of the
disease was completed in September,
1922, and shows infestation in Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, and Mary
land.
