Mr.. II. Pcnoycr, of Union county,
Illinois, publishes in the st. Louis Re
publican his experience and success in
preventing the potato rot. He has tcs-
ted his preventive for four years, with
perfect success, while others in the
same field who neglected it lost their
entire crop. 1t is asserted, also that the
root is nearly double the size. The
remedy is as follows:
"Takc one peck of fine sault and
mix it Thoroughly with halfa bushel of
Nova Scotia plaster or gypsum, (the
plaster is tho best land Immediately
after hoeing the potatoes the second
time, or just as the young potato be-
gins to set, sprinkle ON the main vines.
next to the ground, table spoonful of
the above mixture to each hill and be
sure to get it on the main vines. as
it is found that the root proceeds from
the string of an insect in the vine, and
the, mixture, coming in contact with the
vine, kills tho effect of it before it reach
es the potato"
Mr.. Penoyer asks no hing for his
discovery beyond what those who are
benefited are willing to give, and he
desires a test to be made before an
opinion is formed. This is reasonable,
and the experiment cost SO little that it
is worth testing.
