New Facts On Potato Diseases

fDr. Donald Folsom, associate plant
pathologist, Experiment Station)
Degeneration diseases of potatoes
are more common and injurious than
has Been generally realized. Mosaic
and leafroll diseases are present in
some varieties and in some climates
without conspicuous characteristic
signs, and 80 have escaped notice ex-
cept that the yield rate was known
to be somehow reduced. Tubers per-
petuate desperation diseases from
one generation to another. Other
insects In addition to aphids (plant
lice) have been reported as being car
riers. The frequency In 1922 Of
planting healthy stocks next to d.
seased stocks indicates that the
spreading ability OF these diseases is
not appreciated by growers.
A spindling-tuber disease has been
proved to be one OF the degeneration
diseases Of potatoes. 1t is one Of
the more common causes of poor tub
er shape, but also affects the vines.
It Is perpetuated in the tubers, and
Is transmitted from one plant to an
other by aphids and by several arti-
fetal methods of juice transfer.
Protozoa have been announced re-
Gently by Michigan worker as being
found In association with several de-
generation diseases OF plants. Pro-
tozoa are small animals of which some
types cause several animal diseases
that are carried by insects. Plant
disease experts therefore consider it
very probable that protocol cause
certain plant diseases. The chief
practical value of this discovery lies
In the help 1t promises in detecting
and Identifying these plant diseases,
many of which vary with variety and
climate in such way as to make their
recognition difilchlt.
busting. was compared with spray
ing as method of controlling trust"
that Is, late, blight, on three farms
in Aroostook county in 1922. In geh-
eral, busting was inferior in control
ling early blight and flea beetles, but
was equal III controlling mild attacks
of late blight and in improving the
yield rate. The abnprmality of the
season makes 1t Impossible yet to
predict surely the relative value Of
busting and spraying. These results
confirm those In certain parts of New
York, but not in other places.

The Huff Farm where Rabbits and
Chickens Grow

Your correspondent recently visit
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford HUFF OF Well
ington and spent very interesting
afternoon. Mr.. Huff owns farm OF
about one hundred and twenty-five
acres and has always made his living
from It, Mrs. HUFF has one hundred
baby rabbits at present. They are
all purebred Flemish Giants.
She has thirteen breeders and two
males. These rabbits are raised ex-
pressly for market and are shipped
away as soon as they are marketable.
Mrs. Huff has raised rabbits for the
past two years and has built up very
profitable business. She also raises
a few chickens. This year they num-
Der 1915. These are made up OF two
breeds, Buff Orpingtons. and Rhode
Island Reds.
Mrs. HUFF has very complete hen
merry, two large henhouses, one OF
these Is known as double decker
and has ample room for five hundred
hens. She has 1876 layers of the
same breed and collects 200 eggs dali
ly on an average from the same.
Mrs. Huff has fine saddle horse,
and rides a good deal. She has one
daughter, an only child. Miss Theo
Hun, who has a pony which she rides
and is known as quite an expert little
horsewoman.,
Mr.. Hun Is an A farmer. He
helps his wife with her chickens and
rabbits and carries on his farm also
and, q herd of eight cows. They make
hutter instead of selling whole cream

"The last week In May saw quite
a few frosty nights and for good meas
ure May 31st, the ground froze In
many sections Of the state enough so
that crust could be turned over with
out its falling apart" said State Hor-
ticulturist G. A. Yeaton on Friday.
THE ffdit blossoms were In the cri-
teal stage where even slight frost
would cause severe loss to the fruit
growers. This applies to all kinds
OF fruit grown In the State. Natural
ly we think of the orchards first as
that is the one most important and
having the widest distribution, but
by no means the only one that frost
will materially injnre. Many times
we find the apples badly russeted at
harvest and are apt to attribute it to
spray injury, when the true cause Is
a condition brought about by the
frost at blossom time. Again we
find the apples deformed from the
same cause, In fact anything that
weakens the pollen will either des-
troy the entire crop, or greatly reduce
the production. The same thing APP
plies to pears and the stone fruits.
The small fruits that are growing
on low land come in for large share
of trouble. In the past we have not
given the blueberry the consideration
that 1t justly deserves from its COM
mercial Importance. Last year the
BURBERRY crop in Maine was 100000
bushels, selling at 1925 per bushel and
amounting to $585,000. We have 555
acres of strawberries which produc-
ed over $4,000 quarts and bring to the
growers more than, si78,60O. The
raspberry and blackberry crop was
something less. but still bringing into
growers hands a substantial sum.
With those fgures. showing us some
thing of the loss that severe frost
means to the farmers Of the state, one
can realize their feelings when they
go out in the morning and see the
frost on everything around them"
