Summary	Late blight, one of the major potato diseases, causes serious losses where favorable conditions for its development occur. Severely damaging and wasting one of the Nation's most essential food crops, it is a primary limiting factor in food production. In 1942 blight, making a record general attack, swept as far west as the the Great Plains. Some States reported its occurence for the first time. Losses from vine killing and tuber rotting for the country as a whole involved many millions of bushels. Several important potato-producing States reported reductions in yields of 20 to 25 percent.--p. 2.
