Soon after there occurred in Europe an out- break of a disease known as “leaf- roll.”” This affliction caused heavy losses in Germany and Austria and elsewhere, though it has not been as generally destructive as was feared. Whether it is the same as an Ameri- can disease is still’a subject of con- troversy. One of the main objects of the investigators of potato dis- cases in the Department of "Agricul- ture is to distinguish between Amer- ican and European troubles, so that it the disease originally occurs in this country it may be controlled, and if it originates in Burope it may we kept out by quarantine.
