PoTATo RoT MIR j. Pinneo, Of Hanover, N. II
writes TO the Editor Of the Boston C,0aior that II had
been remarked IN thar vicinity hst the potato rot did
not affect the bills which were planted IN the imne
diate neighbOfhood of shade trees, though all other
parts of toe field srously affected with the
rot The inquiry 10 how this can be explained. The
Editor of the Cicafor 10 think thAt there Is no
DOUBT but ths shade trees protect potatoes from the
rot He says; They save the potatoes from the eH-
trene heat OF the sun, and they prevent dews from
falling them thus avoiding the two extremes OF heat
aud cold, which doubtless principal cause OF THIS
mslsdy especially when the changes are sudden, and
the plants are very tender from luSurian, growth"
