The potato tube' moth in mild, dry .limates often works very serious in jury to stored potatoes. It also is an annoying and at times a destructive field pest where careless planting and hariresting, combined with proper cli matic conditions, give it an opportu nity to damage the growing plant. The larva of the moth feeds to some extent on the leaves, but does its principal damage to the plant by mining downward through the stem, killing that section of the plant and greatly reducing the leaf area. In the case of the tuber in the ground Dr stored, the larvae channel through the flesh and either ruin the potato and cause it to rot, or render it so unsightly as to make it undesirable for food. Control of Tuber Moth. The Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture, re eently has published Professional Pa per No. 427, The Potato Tuber Moth, in which it recommendls two methods of control to the potato grower and handler. These are, according to J. E. Graf, author of the bulletin, cu( tural and harvesting methods which midtimizedl damage andl the use of di sulphid of carbon to fumigate stored potatoes. The series of experiments indicates that the following measures in the field will d. much to mini mize the (damage from this moth: 1. Plant as dleep as practicable (5 to 6 inches). 2. Use ridge culture--i. e., ridlge the rows. 1. Harvest as early as possible. '1. Harvest before the potato tops become so dtry as to drive the p)ar tially growvn larvae to (Jescend and ES SHOP's RSDAY, Is will display in effective ~rn.

In harvesting the tubers several rules must be followed to-keep/the tubers from infestation: 1. The sacks should never be cov ered with potato tops, as the larvae leave these when they wilt and enter the potatoes. 2. The sacks should be sewed as soon as possible and hauled from the field. 3. Potatoes should never be left in the field or exposed to the moth over night. 4. All cull potatoes should be gath ered up within two weeks and either fed to stock at once or destroyed. If left ni the field they are a menace to the neighbors and to the grower him self for the following crop. After the potatoes are harvested they should be marketed at once, un less the grower has storage facilities and is willing to take-the trouble to treat the potatoes. The destruction of potato vines af ter harvest, while it kills all stages of the insect within the vines, will also kill the parasites which prey on the moth. Destruction of the vines would probably kill more of the para sites than stages of the moth- since the tuber worm is liable to hide un der clods and rubbish, while most of those parasitized remain in or on the plants. Fumigation of Stored Potatoes. Experiments indicate that carbon disulphid used at the rate of 2 pounds to 1,000 cubic feet of storage space will kill the larvae and adults and practically all the pupae and eggs within 48 hours. The potatoes are placed in gas-tight bins, which easily may be made nearly air-tight by lin ing temporary structures with tarred paper and painting the se'ms. The carbon disulphid should be placed on the top of the sacks in shallow tin pans. The gas that it generates is heavier than air and sinks through the mass of potatoes. As carbon di sulphid vapor is explosive when mix ed with air and brought in contact -with fire or sparks, or when heated to a sufficiently high temperature, great re should be exercised to keep any spark or fire such as a lighted cigar away ,from its neighborhood. If tubers are noticeably infested, the fumigation should be repeated in a week in summer or two weeks in wvintdr. Wherever possible, potat'oes should be marketed as rapidly as polisible, and infested tubers shouldI never be stored unless they can be fumigated.
