Bacterial Bing not Survey

No bacterial rlrig rot infection was found in Island seed potatoes during the crop year 1950. "We did. however, find five cases in table- stock in the Albany-Carleton dia- trlct." Mr. McLaren said. "These cases were uncovered following the discovery of the disease in a crop in British Columbia which had or- iginated in Prince Edward Island

1949. Investigation proved the same stock had not been entered for inspection during 1950, which we hope explains why the infection escaped our attention. It is lus- pecfed that the ring rot. originated from the use of secondhand lacks brought here from one of the other province: by one of the growers involved.

Inspection of 1951 Crop

Due to over-pi-oduciinri and low prices for previous crop years. growers were advised through var- ious sources and the pI"F5S to cut their acreage. hv 30'? this year. ,The followiniz figures were quoted "in this connection:

I950 1951 Applications received 5,394 4.130 Acres entered for . inspection .. 35,581 2l.77l'iv

Ideal weather conditions prevail- ed in the early spring and thr- ,earl,v-nlanted potatoes developed very little black leg or misses. From then rm. however. considerable rain and broken weather was experien- ced. and numerous growers who had their need cut were clelaved getting it into the ground. As a result considerable black leg de- veloped. I

A short. period of splendid grow- ing weather followed but from mid-July to September lst rain and broken weather accompanied by high humidity was ideal for the development of late blight. Bv September lst most. of the fields were black and it: was the general opinion the crop would be ruined.

Fortunately a change for the bet- ter took place and conditions were good for the maturing and harvest- ing of the crop. Tuber: affected with blight rot were left in the field: and. since the remainin! crop was stored in perfectly dry condition. very little trouble with blight rot in the bin: was exper- ienced. It: is estimated the aver- age reduction due to this cause would be about twenty bushel: to the lore.
