Irish Potato Blight

Evening Journal October 1909

Mr. George Quinn, the Government Horticultural Instructor, has forwarded to the Minister of Agriculture (Hon. E. H. Coombe) a detailed report on the Irish potato blight, the discovery of which among South Australian crops was made on July I5. Since then Mr. Quinn has been engaged making enquiries, and his report states, inter alia:— Up to the present I have been able to identify the presence of the fungus on specimens from practically all over the Plains of Adelaide and at Salisbury, as well as all along the slopes and in the western gullies of the Mount Lofty Ranges The seed potatoes from which the infected crops on the plains of Adelaide were grown were nearly all of the variety known as Bismarck, and can almost without exception be traced to recent importations from Ireland.
