Don't reglect TO raise pumpkins be-
cause somebody says they are largely

said of all green crops. Pumpkins also

sulphur Tor Potato Rot.

A correspondent of the Husbandman
says that sulphur is preventive of po-
tato rot, and this is confirmed by the
experience of Vermont farmer, who
rolled his cut potatoes in fine sulphur
at planting and busted the plants as they
appeared above the ground. Neither
rot, worm nor insect touched them
though potatoes on neighboring farms
were badly damaged. His rotatoes were
excellent and the crop yielded well
There is no doubt that sulphur will as
sist materially in preventing fungus
growth in other plants as well as pota
toes, and it would be well If farmers
gave it trial for such purposes the com
ing season.
