Potato Disease
ab Is Discovered
a
Washington. D. C.. July 14.?
'owdery M* of the potato is a
inropean disease which doubtless fol
>wod imported potatoes before the
uarautlne law want Into effect.
ry possible effort is being made by
lie U. 8. Department of Agriculture
9 prevent this disease- making laDads
on our potato industry, and
he cooperation of all Intrusted is
his crop is mudb needed, in dealing
lth this new potato' malady. The
department is Issuing a bulletin (No.
S) entitled "Powdery Scab of Poitoes,"
which thoroughly explains
he disease and gives all the pracicai
advice available at the present
Bgarding Its control.
Powdery Scab does not attack the ?
ortlon of the potato vines above
he ground, It is primUrily a dlsase
of the young tubers, wbleh deelops
as they manure in the ground,
the disease1 is apparent by small,
lightly raised pimplee and a slight j
lsooloratlon of the surface. When
ut open, the Infected areas appear
aintly purplish and extend from aproximately
the outermost eells of
he tuber toward the deeper layers.
The "powdery scab" fungus. If ?o I
Itions are favorable, may eat larv*
avitiea into the immature potato *ileeldes
consuming parts of toe to- ^
era u ainnta xnoir tanner growta
nd causes them to be deformel.
Last spring the Department Imported
18 rariettes of potatoes from
or seed purposes. All were found
o be Infected with powdery scab
ind had to be condemned. Nine raieties
were Imported from England
or similar purposes and were all
nfected in the same manner. The
lisease has been found on potatoes
rom Belgium, Norway and Sweden.
)n the potato's native heath?South
America?the disease has been found
[t was reported In several provinces
>f Canada In ltlS.
From Canada the disease lias made
tome headway across the border into
northern Maine. This is the one $
place where there is real danger at
present from the Infection, bnt active
measures are being taken to drive
out the disease and to prevent the
shipment of diseased potatoes to other
sections.
The sertosunees of powdery scab
may be realised from the following
statement by a conservative Canadian
scientist:
"The disease should by no means
be regarded lightly. Severe attacks
occur when potatoes are planted year
after year on infected land! Where
this Is practiced the result will be
potatoes hardly superior in quality
to those badly Infected with the caik
er. ThlB fact Is worthy of notice,
especially since, as in the dase of
canker no preventive measures have
proved of much -value."
Any kind of scab or other Injury
that mars or defaces the potato, tu
toer Is a more serious nanaicap in
the American markets than teiee
in European countries, due to the
fact that consumers abroad offer
fewer objections to scabby potatoes
than consumers In the United States
There is even a belief prevalent
abroad that scabbinem Is an Indira-*
tton of superior quality. In the
United States, when potatoes are put
on the market, scabby potatoes must
be sorted out, and therefore are of
no use exoept for stock food or the
manufacture of starch. In Maine
the pries of scabby potatoes in the
autumn or ItlS was 80 cents oor
barrel, while clean stock brought
11.80 per barrel.
