"a large potato~grower, who has
experimental in regard to methods !
of preventing the disease in potatoes
known as "the potato rot,' has found |
that fine sulphur, applied to the
sets, is a certain preventive, He
dusts the sets as they are cut and
while damp, with flowers Of sulphur
and then plants them. He states the
crop is entirely free ftom disease
and also from attacks of insects of |
every kind. Probably the hectic is
not included in This sweeping cata-
logue; and yet that robust insect
may be disguised with the peculiar
flavor of sulphur in his favorite
food. Sulphur thus used is is oxyd-
lied and may quite possibly enter
the plant and escape through the
leaves, just as when it is taken into
an animal it escapes through the
leaves, just as when it is taken into
an animal it escapes through the
lungs and skins. 1t is certainly
worth a trial. Pa. Though prob
ably a little late for this season, po-
tato growers will do well TO bear
the above in mind, and if insects are
potato vines dust them
with flowers of sulphur. This reme
edy is largely used against insects
and mildeW by vineyard men.
