The potato rot has made its appearance in Iowa. Upon close and repeated examination, it has been ascertained that a small insect in the vine of the potato is the cause of the mischief. This insect is very diminutive in size, and is generally found head downward. It is supposed to enter the top of the vine while it is tender and growing rapidly, and works its way down into the potato while very small, thus depositing the germ of the disease, which develops itself as the potato enlarges and matures.
