Blight Res

With the object oft saving Prince l-dward Island potato growers up to $600,600 cosh in blight control costs annually by finding a. suit- able variety of blight resistant potatoes, Mr Gordon C. ‘Waiiun, assistant to the Superintendent in horticulture, ls conducting exten- sive expcrhic-nts at the Experi- mental Farm, With both an im- mediate program with “named" varieties, the collection of 50 of which he has started to build up this year, and the long range pro- gram with the "unnamed" seed- lings, similar to that which is be- ing carrierl on throughout Can- ada and the U.S., Mr. Warren and his staff have their hands full. not only growing, tending, lead- lng, harvesting, storing, and ex- amining a consiclerablr; quantity of potatoes, but they must wash ihrm, test them for starch and finally cook them to find the true quality of the tuber . Not only is there an intensive -and intensive search going on for blight and scab resistant potatoes rlmtmgst the “named" varieties, but also amongst the seedlings which, until they earn their name, are gfucicl only by numbers. Mr. S.G.. Pappin a! the Seed Certification service, re- counted the amcs of a. number of new "named" varieties which have been introduced within recent years ln the US. from Maine to Colorado, They include Kenne- heck, Tcton (reputed to be resist-

ant to bacterial ring-rot), Essrx, Ontario. Dc Sofa. liiSnllc, Pont- iac, afohawk. Erie, Pawnee. V.r-

all, llnrygold, Chicago, Placid and Menominee. Possibly on; of these varieties may provide the answer for the Island grower,

Promising Variety Indeed, as In New Brunswick, one of the varieties has shown

mitstancllng promise, although It will require a great deal of fur- ther tcsilng before anything def- initc can be announced, illven then, points out Mr. Lorne Call- hock, plant pathologist. it is pos- sible that. as in cereals, when a disease resistant tuber is devel- opcd, 4::- disease may RCCCmmO- date itself to this particular var- ‘cty. and attack it successfully.
