Potato Growers Fear Blight. Special to The Tribune. OGDEN, Aug. 5. With nearly every field in Cache valley showing indications of the blight, reports have been received in this city that the northern LTtah potato po-tato crop is threatened. As Cache valley is sometimes referred to as Utah's potato po-tato patch, commission men in this city fear that a serious condition will prevail with regard to the 1915 crop of spuds ln this state. The reports from the north indicate that even the professors of the Utah Agricultural collage are puzzled over the situation and have so far not discovered a successful remedy for the potato disease.
