The potato wart. — The Kuro])ean ))otato wart is still res^lricti'd in th^ 

 to aI>out8<X) gardens situated entirely in mining villagis in " 

 West Virginia, and .Nhiryland. Nearly all standard Amt > 



been tested for reaction tti wart and many immune varietie."< have been determined 

 80 that this di.sease does not now have the menace to thi.s country which it ori •' ■• 'Ms- 

 had. In the inva<led di.-tricts these immune varieties are now for the m. 

 being grown under regulations enforced by the States concerned and the iUui;i;r 

 from these di.slricts is tiius being very greatly minimized. 



A large volume of work has been acannpliahed in a slmly of thus disea.- "^o 



the technical standpoint of the disease itself and its control and also the <h ; . ■■ •■» 



of the reaction of varieties of potatoes to it as U) immunity. It is projHifled. :i 

 vear, to <liscontinue much of the research work which Iuuh hitherto !• 

 Iiy tho board in cix)j)eration with the Hureau of Plant Industrv \' 

 for the board for the next fiscal year has been iusked for of oiil 



in quarantine work ami for some essential survey work. It .. ..^' 



Bureau of Plant In<lustry' will continue such technical research work in connection 

 with the di.sease as may be nece.ss;iry. 



The board does not ieel, however, that the time has come when it i« either n*»*'»«#- 

 sary or desirable to oj)en the port« of the United Suites to thi' im: 

 p<itatoes from countries known to be invaded by this diseas<>. ^ .1 



probably result in the extension of this disease to practically all tl - in 



the I'nited States, and might very shortly involve a very serious c<'ii.-*t'qinii. «• Hiiere 

 the nonimmune rural group varieties are the main dejH>ndence.

 California, Arizona, and Texas. These special dau^ districts include l'«»achella and
