Large losses exceeding 50 000 are anticipated among major potato growers in Burlington County due to blight attacking thousands of acres. Authorities cannot explain the disease cause though vines rot before tubers mature. Some farms see complete field destruction while neighboring fields with similar treatment escape the blight. Farmers who risked early frosts report crops reaching large size before the blight, allowing them to save about three quarters of the yield.
