the past days the writer representing the departments of plant pathology and agriepl tural extension of the University of Nebraska baa visited many of the potato fields of Dawes county Potato diseases are quite prevalent and are exacting a heavy toll of the crop The backward spring season followed by the intensely hot weather and hot winds that have prevailed of late has favored the appearance of various diseases The shortsighted policy of planting old which was especially marked this year because of the shortage of seed has contributed to a gj-eat extent to the inordinate amount of potato disease in this and other regions This does not aim to be a complete treatise on potato diseases or on seed selection It is designed to get you started right to tell you what you should and can do now Potato diseases cut this stand in potato fields by preventing germination of seed pieces gitand by killing sprouts before or shortly after coming up These diseases are going to cut the yield very appreciably by weakening plants and by killing them outright either slowly or suddenly They also deteriorate and destroy tubers pnt into stcr-age The diseases prevalent are Blackleg Frisarium Wilt and the Rhizoctonia disease Those are caused by parasitic organisms and are carried over in the seed and in the soil At present Blackleg and Fusarium Wilt have not appeared in many fields As the season progresses they are likely to appear abundantly Rhizoctonia is very prevalent however BLACKLEG This disease is caused by bacteria which kill the vines and rot the tubers The affected plants are unthrifty and undersized If the affected plant escapes an early death it becomes a lighter green find even yellow The plant may wilt gradually arid die or it may wilt down verv suddenly There is a folding of the younger leaves on the midrib in this disease The advanced stage of the disease is marked by a jet black color of the shoot which extends from the seed piece to the ground level and in advanced cases above it The disease spreads from the diseased mother plant to the young tubers and may rot these in the ground or in star age producing a soft rot or it may lie dormant until the next spring and then cause missing hills and sick plants Rogueing of the field hill selection and seed treatment with corrosive sublimate or formaldehyde before planting should give a clean crop EUSARIUM WILT OR BLIGHT The fungu which causes this disease invades The The following are the 123 men drawn by the Sioux county authorities for examination for service in compliance with the conscription law
