The Potato Disease and Sulphur.

A correspondent. Of the Agricultural
(English) in stating his experiments with
sulphur and carbolc acid, to avert the
potato blight, says his success ith the
latter has not been very satisfacVOty. In
reference to the use Of sulphur the CORES
pondsnt says: NJ I'll
II can offer note Of an experiment
now being tried by gardener, under my
ewn observation. The application OF the
sulphur was begun on July IL, and 1t
has been busted on since about six times,
throwing it over the leaves plentfully
from q kind Of dredgor, in weather some
: times wet, sometimes dry. The plants
experi,neuted on were trial row of vari-
Gus kinds Of potatoes, consisting Of En-
pcror. Bread. fruit, Rose, Black Kidney,
Cornish Kidney, Rcd-skinned Flourball
and Dalmahoy. and q row Of some four
teen feet Of purple potato unnamed, but
apparently Jersey Blue. OF these the
four first kinds were dug on August IA,
after the appearance Of the disease in tho
n6ighborhood, and did not show any signs
, of t. in haulm or tuber. and the stored
tubers still appear perfectly sound. The
Cornish Kidneys are now (August 25)
thoroughly struck with the disease in the
haulm, but this is fortnight later than
others Of the same kind in tho nsighbor-
hood, and uusulphured. The red-skinned
Flosrball, Dallnahoy and {doubtfuD Jsr-
sey Blues. are now luxuriant in haulm.
aud with, little sign Of disease, though it
has now struck the unsulphured crop 10 a
fneighboring field (of several other kinds)
heavily OF course, in matter of this
kind. one experiment is scarcely any
thing still. looking at it in the mass, it
appears as if the sulphur might have
slightly postponed and mitigatcd the a.
tack, and particularly notice that the
purple potatoes (Jersey Blues) which
showed AZ spotted with the disease about
a fortnight ago. and have been thorough
" dressed With sulphur, are still luxuri-
ant ,gf,.r sr.,fet.t.,.a. r-.i-o
Sulphur has been so useful in killing
blight and mildew on grapes and other
fruit, aud on potatoes BY other expert
menters, that We do net hesitate to recon
mend its use to check the ravages Of thi,
plague. The rot is caused by a micro
seopic fungus, which sulphur destroys.
