times the disease follows a rapid
course, the owner finding only a

THREAT 70 POTATOES
by Walter L. Click

THREAT TO POTATOES
Many people are now becoming
aware of very serious threat to
the potato industry of the irrigat-
ed sections of the state. This
threat is the Leaf Roll Disease.
Leaf Roll is not a new disease.
It was first recognized in Europe
as specific disease as early as
1905. In 1888 Leaf Roll became
destructive in the Ellensburg area
and apparently increased and
spread rapidly. BY 1943 Leaf Roll
had become a major threat.
The State College Experiment
Station pathologists have been
seriously concerned with this
problem. Field trials have been
set up in the Yakima valley and
interesting observations wer e
brought to light. I will mention
some of these briefly:
1. Diseased lots of seed gave
greatly reduced stand of plants
as compared with healthy lots of
seed.
2. Yields were reduced nearly
in direct proportion to the amount
of Leaf Roll in the seed.
4. Planting seed one or more
years from certification has prov
en- to be a very poor practice in
areas where Leaf Roll is prob
lem.
S. Tubers showing no definite
symptoms but grown among dis
eased plants produced 8 to Ii per-
cent diseased plants when used
for seed the following year.
6. Leaf Roll is spread from
plant to plant by aphids.
Z. Three sources from which
Leaf Roll may be carried to
healthy plants are: (0 diseased
plants growing from the seedstock
planted in the field; (b) diseased
volunteer plants growing from
tubers left in the ground at dig
ging time; (c) diseased plants in
nearby fields.
The prevention and control is
one of using care.
1. Use only certified seed. Most
certified seed stocks are free from
Leaf Roll.
2. Be sure that the seed you
buy is tagged by an official GER
tifying agency.
3. Rotate potato fields to avoid
volunteer plants. Only few vol
unteer plants from diseased tub
ers may spread Leaf Roll through
out a field in single season.
4. Destroy volunteer potato
plants in fields near paintings Of
potatoes even through intended
for table stock.
PREVENT PULLoRUM
And a word about that very
serious disease of chickens Pull
Drum. There is no satisfactory
treatment for birds affected with
Pullorum disease. The only sat
isfactory control lies in the pre-
vention of the disease. Chicks or
poults affected with it may or

WE WANT A ROAD

Many people on this side of
the river see in Governor Wall
gren's veto of the omnibus roads
bill an end to hope for the cutoff
which would connect Kennewick
with the north shore of the river
at the site of the Umatilla dam.
We don't want to argue here
the reasons for the governors
action. It is obvious that most of
the roads included in the bill
would not be built under wartime
conditions. It is known fact
that every legislator in the state
has a road to build. The omnibus
bill was the result-a case of you
scratch my back and I'll scratch
yours.
It is possibility that the gov
ernor will call a special session
next year. At that time a plan
of necessary road building may
be considered. It is up to us to
prove the necessity of the road
and that it is wanted.
That it is wanted there can be
no doubt. That it is a necessity
is point to be proved. The
proof lies in one of the funda-
mental geometrical axioums: A
straight line is the shortest dis
lance between two points.
The road is also a necessity as
forming an important link in the
ultimate completion of a north
bank route to the coast.
However, there is no need to
get worked up over this piece
of road construction. Even if the
war ends next week, time will be
counted not in months but in
years as to the dam construction.
The mills of the gods and the en-
gineers grind slowly.

THREE THOUSAND NEEDED

Three thousand, three hundred
and forty-one workers are needed
in the war plants, the military in
stallations and on the railroads of
Spokane and the Inland Empire.
In addition are the hundreds of
men needed for the. vital mines of
the Occur d'Alenes and the Met
alines. About 600 of these posi-
sitions waiting in the plants can
be filled by women.
Because of these figures, be-
cause the most critical phase OF
the production picture lies in the
months ahead, because as oul
troops are nearing victory they
must not be slowed up, for lack
of supplies and material from the
home front, the appeal is made
more urgent than ever before.
