S A grave wosd of caution needs to foe spoken on the subject of potato-growing this year- There seems te be no doubt that th« disease which attacked the crop last season was the genuine potato rot. We have in a previous number of The Rural fully explained the nature of that dibease, and we give some hints on the best means of dealing with it. There is a great danger of it spreading orac a wider area of country this year, and of its proving far mois destructive than hitherto. But with the exercise and care aiA judgment on the part of fanners, we think it is possible to stay the disease to some extent â€" to keep it " izot^ running riot ever the land. A few facts ought to be well understood and re- membered. One is, that iibe disease is of the zomatio olass by which is meiBtt that it is infectious. It spreads from phuit to plant, and from field to field, by minute germs carried by the wind, or it may be in some portion af the, plant itself and ^ese germs falling «poBa healthy plant communicate to it the disease. Another is, that those germs may survive the winter in the tops of the potato, as well as in the tuber itself, with unimpaired vitality, and their grotrth and development will begin jnst as soon as they are planed in the favourable conditio'ns in other words, as soon as they come into con- tact with the -potato plant in a moist or growing state. A third is, that an infected seed potato is a centre for a trare spread of the diseaseâ€" one in a^eli bemi sufficient, in the proper state of weatiier, te spread the infection to the whole field. Now, for a few words of eantion. Don't plant a K«ed potato th^ is, even in the slightest degree, diseased. Dan't plant m the same groond on wMoh hut season's crop was grown if there was any appeareoee of ^sease in the crop. Dont {riant on the wiadwant aide of last year's crop, is it it was sffsetadâ€" either yomr own crop or yonr neighbor's die wind may carry germs fmm tops or tabers left m last years' ground. Dont plant in moist or badly drained land; exeass of moistue predisposes the plants to sti attack of the dis e a a e Plant none bat healthy tebara plant on An leeward side of land planted laat yaar, as Ut inm that as possibh end vHacA eaily oo well drained ud ifve^ soil, so as id ensoM an early ripening o the creivâ€" [Bond Oaaad'an.
