POTATO PROTECTION Depar!:mgnt of Agriculture Booklet Describes Certain Dangerous Dis- eases ‘And Recommends Measures ADVISES SEED SELECTION Suggests That More Vigorous Aweri- can -Varities Be Developed By Breeding—Tells of Conditions More general and concerted efforts on the part of potato growers are needed to combat certain diseases which threaten to impair the wigor of the seed stock and to cause the de- terioration of varieties, according to the-U. ture’s S. Department of Agrical- To open the way for more efficient measures of control for potato diseases that have not always been investigator. definitely under- stood a new bulletin is now issued entitled “Potato Wilt, Leaf-Roll, and Related Diseases.” It can be had free 8. Depart- ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. The group of potato diseases treat- ed in the new bulletin now raises a on application to the U. problem of increasing importance to practical agriculture in different countries throughout the world. Bovironment has a most important influence on crops in the several states and in foreign countries. Therefore, great care is .needed to determine exactly whieh method of control is best in each specific in- stance where disease is present. The Bulletin wishes particularly to em. phasize the fact that the same sys- tem of seed selection and crop ro- tation that will free the potato fields | of wilt, leaf-roll and curly-dwarf, will not only bring under ' control blackleg and some other thseases,‘ but will insure the maintenance of | the strains cultivated in their most; vigorous condition and free from ob- peetionable mixtures with other var- ieties. Losses from the late blight and rot ocenr mainly in the northern States This causes partlcularly heavy los- ses during cool and humid seasons. In’the States east of the Mississippi| particularly common. It is now suc- cessfully combatted by spraying with | Bordeaux mixture. Tt is also hoped | that more disease-resistant varieties| will soon aid in controlling this| Dlight. To the south early blight and tip- burn play a greater roll than the late blight in injury to the potato crop. Iarly blight is apparently not so common in the cooler and more uni- form climate of northern Europe. Nor does one find there that tip-| burn Is as common as here, where| high summer temperatures combine with the injuries of flea beetles and other insects to cause excessive transpiration and 'its consequent marginal burning of the leaves. Here also the logical line of attack seems to be the production of varie- ties possessing heat resistance. With the progress of studies of this problem other potato diseases have been recognized in the United| States. Some of these, likeé the brown-rot, had doubtless been long prevalent, while others, like the] blackleg, appear to have been recent- ly dntroduced from Europe. A new group of diseases came into prominence about ten ears ago which had not hitherto been’ recognized as of econcmic importance. 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- eases in the Department of "Agricul- ture is to distinguish between Amer- ican and European troubles, so that if the disease originally occurs in this country it may be controlled, and if it originates in Europe it may we kept out by quarantine. The Department’s new bulletin contains numerous illustrations of new diseaseys that are to be feared by potato growers. If growers will realize more clearly the danger of the insidious losses suffered be- cause of seldom-recognized diseases, | and from = diseases transmitted through the seed, they will be more against these troubles, The final re- sult will be to place the potato tndus- | try on a higher plan than it occu- pies today. The types of disease distinguished as of some importance in the United States and especially treated in the new bulletin are the following: Fusarium Wilt—A = disease char- acterized by the wilting of the plant. | Widespread in America, but not yat Ithe state | test.

Bemidji now has a good beginning for a library of great usefullness and 'pleasure. Being handicapped for funds with which to buy books the usefullness of the library is greatly retarded. Fines on overdue books to the ex- tent of $40.96 have been collected. Gifts to the library have been made as follows; Mrs. C. R.
