Potato BLIGHT and Rot.


The State Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion at Burlington sends out Bulletin no.
"a on the subject of potato blight and rot.
We wish to call the attention of potato
raisers to some of the statements contain
ed in it. The Potato Blight or Rust is one
of the most common and destructive of
plant diseases. The following is the rem
edy;
1st, By spraying with mixture Of cop
per sulphate, blue vitrioll and lime, known
as Bordeaux mixture, the blight or rust OF
the tops can be checked.
End, By using this remedy to stop the
blight on the tops, most OF the dry rot of
the tubers can be prevented.
The blight of the potato top and the dry
rot OF the tuber are caused by parasitic
plant or fungus. The wet rot of the tubers
follows the dry rot. The dry rot kills the
tuber and the wet rot follows as natural
result. The fungus which causes the blight
and dry rot lives through the winter in
the tubers. When these tubers are plant
ed the fungus grows up inside the stem.
About the middle of the summer the fun
gus sends fruiting branches out from the
under sides of the potato leaves upon VIII.
it produces spores. These spores are mi
mute, egg-shaped bodies that have the same
use as the seeds of the higher plants. Of
ten these branches and spores are so num-
erous on the under side OF a potato leaf
that they may be seen as delicate, frost
like coating. While producing these spores
the fungus draws so much nourishment
from the tissues of the leaves that it soon
kills them. The appearance of black dead
spots upon the potato leaves are usually
the first evidence that the blight is present
in the potato field. The disease is spread
by the wind carrying these spores through
the field. Favorable weather Will quickly
carry the blight over large field.
With this understanding OF the way the
disease spreads, it is at once evident that
by spraying the potato vines at the right
time with some mixture that will kill the
spores the spread OF the blight can be
C lecked.
Experiments at the station have shown
that W hat is known as the Bordeaux Mix
ture gives the best results. This consists
of:
Copper sulphate, (blue vitriol or blue
stonel pounds.
Lime
Water % gallons.
Most OF the remainder of the Bulletin is
taken up with the account of the methods
by which the results we have given were
obtained. This Bulletin can be procured
upon application to the Station at Burling-
ton.

Some have supposed that if the leg
islature met in August it would choose
a successor to Senator Edmunds. Col.
Hooker argues that it can aud will do
this. The Free Press takes position
against him. 1t takes the ground that
prospective vacancy is not vacancy
and that there is no vacancy to be fill
ed until the 1st of Nov, and that the
election of Senator before that time
would be superfuous act. As a pre-
cedent il cites the case of James Lam
man. In 1925 he was appointed to
fill vacancy about to occur. The Sem
ate decided that he was not entitled TO
his seat. Senator Edmunds has been
interviewed on the subject. OF course,
he agrees with the Free Press. He
saws. in substance, that thereis no use
in choosing his successor until his res
ipnation takes effect. He says the con.
stitution of the United States only al
lows a Legislature or governor 10 fill a
vacancy that actually exists. We sup
pose these fellows ought to know and
we presume that those who have the
matter in charge viii act upon the prin
ciple that they do know. We never
dabbled much in constitutional law, IN
elining to think that the less one knew
about law the wiser he was, but we
would like to ask why the Legislature
elected Edmunds Senator when novacan
cv existed. He was elected in the tall
and there was to be no vacancy untl
the next spring. In fact he was elect
ed on account Of prospective vacancy
II Is true his time was to expire by Inn
itatiou. but what difference does it make
whether the time expires by limitation
or resignation. 1t comes to an end al
the same and must be attended to. oul
humble opinion is that Senator car
he elected. Whether or not he can Sc
cure a seat is none of our concern.
