Island bred Ayrshire have long been noted for their production. The list of cows qualifying under R.O.P. in the January Ayrshire Re- view proves Island Ayrshlres can still hold their own with the best in Canada.

In the mature, 365 day division. eleven Island bred Ayrshires are listed among the more than 100 cows qualifying in this class. Nine of these are in the top twenty-sev- en with over 515 lbs of buttcrfat. Two are owned by George P. Matheson and Son, Wheatley Riv- er, including the top butterfat pro- ducer Klrkside Velma with 15,659 lbs of milk, 653 lbs of fat for 1. 4.- 1796 test. Two of these nine were bred by w.F.A. Stewart, Strath- gartney. including Gortney Anne 2nd now owned in Newfoundland, which was the second highest but- terfat producer with a test of 5.33m.

The top milk producer was Sun- nyholm Honey, bred by Vernon MacMillan and Son and also now owned in Newfoundland with 17,- 447 lbs of milk. The other Island Ayrshires in this class were owned by Earl MacRac, pol. F. 1. Andrew, Chester Lelacheur, D. Fred Mau- Rae. A: Machae and Son and Col. Alan MacLeod and Sons.

The address to the newly cap- ped students was given by Miss Muriel Archibald who said that in becoming a part of the nursing profession the girls were being looked to to uphold the standards of the profession. She said the latter term was sometimes used too loosely and its real meaning did not simply imply an ability to do the mechanical tasks because anyone could do them.

(if Ring Roi in PEI Potatoes

"It is my firm conviction that ring rot of potatoes can and will be eradicated in this Province and in this respect the Island will be- come it disease free area," was the conclusion reached by Mr. R. R. Hurst, laboratory plant patholo- gist, at a seminar conducted by him yesterday.

The assembly consisted chiefly of Science Service and Experi- mental Statlon personnel and was held in the library and seminar room of the recently completed Science Service building on the Malpeque Highway entrance to the Dominion Experimental Farm area.

Mr. Hurst's talk was the first of a series to be given by Science Bervice members of the laboratory and was given close attention by more than thirty leaders in the field of Agriculture. Included were Messrs. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture. R. A. Parent, Superintendent of the Experimental Farm, the various laboratory technicians, field men and others on the staff of both the Federal and Provincial Departments.

The meeting was presided over by Mr. Dean Robinson, assistant F71-mt Pllth010895t- A Question period followed which was taken part in by several of those present.

Historical Review

Beginning with an historical re- view and distribution of bacterial ring rot, Mr. Hurst pointed out that the disease has been wide- spread on this continent since 1931 when it was introduced from Eu- rope. It was discovered in Ger- many early in the present century, and in 1942 it affected 30 per cent of the potato crop in France in the most severely diseased fields. It was reported in Quebec in 1931 and in Maine in 1932.

It first' occurred in Prince Ed- ward Isiand in 1938 when Mr. Mar- ton Jardine, potato inspector, re- ported it at Monticello. By 1940 it was reported in 37 States, in some cases causing extremely heavy losses. Up to 1950 it has not been reported in Great Britain.

In Prince Edward Island the disease had made occasional threatening appearances but in all cases it had been eliminated with- out great. difficulty. ”Indeed our potato industry enjoys a highly satisfactory measure of freedom from rim; rot." said Mr. Hurst.

Economic Importance

The importance of the disease was early recognized as a serious threat to the potato industry. es- pecially in seed producing areas. Not only does it inflict heavy losses by destruction of affected tubers. but in Canada where there is no tolerance for this disease in Certi- fied Seed. it could be the reason for complete disqualification of seed crops, thus bringing great hardships to seed producers who together with tablestock growers are required to dispose of the crop on a non-profit basis.

"Prince Edward Island,” con- tinued the speaker, ”ls a notable example, of demonstrated ability to stay on firm footing and exter- minate rot if and when it occurs, thus practically eliminating its threat to the potato industry.”

Ring rot is highly infectious and destructive, and all potato produc- ers should become familiar with it and take all precautionary meas- ures to prevent its introduction into their seed stock. Ring rot may increase from a trace to as much as 50 to 50 per cent in a single season.

Symptoms

Briefly described it is a vascular disease. symptoms appear late in the growing season as rolling and wilting of the leaves. Affected leaflets turn yellow and die. One or more stems on a bill may wilt. Stich stems are more or less stunt- ed. From infected stems the bac- teria enters the tubers through the stolons, spread along the vascular ring producing a ring which is creamy, yellow or light brown

rot may progress until the outer shell of the potato is left. Symp- tom expression shows variability, both the plants and tubers being affected. Examination of the in- terior of the stems of plants show- ing advanced symptoms reveals crowning oi the vascular system. BY Squeezing, a milky viscous bac- terial exudate may be forced out of the cut stem. There is no odour associated with tuber tissue break- down by bacterial ring rot, but having paved the way for second-

-ousiy used outside

band potato bags which have be- come contaminated. G r 0 we r I should not use second-hand bags in handling seed potatoes."

Epidemiology Factor:

Most observers agree that lepe- doiiicum does not survive the win- ter in soil, although it was agreed by authorities that there was a likelihood of survival over-winter in California. In general it would ap- pear that therc is no survival in low temperature soil. On the ques- tion of irrigation affecting the in- cidence of ring rot infection, re- cognized authorities state that it is worse under conditions of ex- cessive irrigation.

Great variations occur in the severity of potato rliig rot symp- toms, even when the tubers are inoculated in :1 presumably uni- form manner. several factors being zcsponsible which another author- ity recorded as follows: ”When potato seed-pieces were cut direct- ly through one or more eyes with a contaminated knife or inoculat- ed in 2. bacteital suspension, the subsequent ring rot symptoms pro- duced in the plant were more pre- valent and more severe than those caused by cutting similar tubers between the eyes."

Prevention and Control

"Experience has taught us to be unocompromisiiig in our attitude towards the ring rot disease of po- tatoes," continued Mr. Hurst, "anti in the setting up of a prevention and control programme such fundamental considerations must be observed as, the bringing in of seed potatoes from ring-rot in- tested areas, sanitation with re- spect to this disease. use of sec- ond-hand sacks, and concealing knowledge of ring rot outbreak. The use of whole tubers eliminates spread due to cutting. Where the disease has occurred all equip- ment should be disirifected."

One authority quoted by Mr. Hurst stated: "The only adequate control measure for ring-rot is its complete eradication on the farms where it may occur and consists of three things: 1. The disposal of all potatoes, both those found in- fected and those that are not, on the infected farm. 2. Cleaning and disinfecting of storages, ma- chinery, tools, bags ct cetcra and 3. The planting of ring-rot-free seed potatoes the following sea- son."

Prince Edward Island provided for the eradication of ring rot under Statute (32) shortly after it was first reported in the Prov- inve. No second hand bags previ- the Province are permitted unless properly dia- infected. and "No person shall plant any seed potatoes or potato eyes which have been grown out- side of this Province, except un- der permit irom the Minister."

Varietal Resistance -

"The hope for solution of the disease problem lies in the develop- ment of disease-resistant varitles", Mr. Hurst contlnud, and certain recent experiments would indicate that has been achieved. One group of experiments released the infor- mation that ”It seems apparent that varities resistant to ring rot would be found while another group reported the production of: nonsusceptiblc progeny."

In conclusion Mr. J-lurst said: "Unquestionably ring-rot has been important to the potato industry all over the world, and it has rais- ed its threatening head with im- punity in practically all potato producing areas. but met its mas- ter in Prince Edward Island in the various efforts of Provincial and Federal watch dogs working joint- ly with the growers and potato in- terests generally. Yet let us not la-pse into unguarded apathy to- wards it, for as you have learned, it is it highly infectious disease. capable of getting out of hand if we grow tired of well doing."

Mr. Hurst quoted, throughout his dealing with the subject, vari- ous authorities in many lands, who
