MAINE POTATOES QUARANTINED. 



A quarantine against Maine potatoes, 

 efifective August 1, has been declared by 

 the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture on account of the prevalence 

 of powdery scab in that state, particu- 

 larly in Aroostook county. After Au- 

 gust 1 no common or Irish potatoes can 

 be moved out of Maine except under 

 regulations which the Department of 

 Agriculture will publish shortly. Pow- 

 dery scab has been prevalent for some 

 time among Maine potatoes, but 

 hitherto the state authorities have been 

 responsible for preventing the spread 

 of the disease. With the enforcement 

 £>f the new quarantine, the federal gov- 

 ernment will take charge of the work. 

 There will be, it is said, no radical 

 change in the existing restrictions.
