THE indianapolis Sentinel remarks as

THE Indianapolis Sentinel remarks as
follows:
II IS worthy of note that 1t Is not the
laboring people who are opposing the en-
campment appropriation, but few men
who are usually found arrayed against
anything for the good OF the public if
there is q prospect that they will be called
upon to pay their share OF the expenses
The Journal cordially indorses this.
The opposition to the appropriation in
this city comes from men who can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
The masses of the people favor it. The
Labor Signal, speaking for organized
labor, favors it. Practically everybody
favors it. The opposition, while pre-
tending to be based on constitutional
grounds, is purely selfish. The Legis-
lature should not be deceived by this
pretended regard for the Constitution.
Let them make the appropriation and
leave the question of constitutionality
to the courts, as they have done in
many other cases.

needed, this last depending of course
upon the weather. Applied thus we
have never failed to check this disease.
But right here we must note the fact
that we have not one but
Two Potato BIiGhts.
Spraying as directed above checks the
common or late blight. Last year, how
ever, we called attention to "new dis
ease" or early blight, which last sum-
mer attacked the earlier potatoes in July
and may be expected this summer. If
we are to hold this early blight in check
by spraying, we must begin early in
July, therefore, before the disease be-
gins to spread.
Since, then, we have these two distinct
potato blights requiring different times
of treatment, it becomes necessary for
every potato grower who is to use the
remedy intelligently to learn to distin-
guish these diseases from each other.
This is not always an easy thing to do.
There are, however, some clearly marked
differences which we will attempt to
make plain with the aid of some figures.
In doing this we will first carefully de-
scribe the common rust or blight, which
we will call, in order to distinguish it
from the other disease,
The Late Blight.
This is the common disease which all
potato growers know only too well.
Since 1916, the year when it swept away
the potato crop of Ireland and caused
the terrible Irish famine, this plague has
annually reappeared on both sides of the
Atlantic. In Vermont it generally does
not show itself until the warm, moist,
"muggy" weather of early August. Oc-
casionally, however, it begins its attack
the latter part of July, and often it
does but little damage until the latter
part of August. The date of its appear
ance and the rapidity of its development
are governed by the weather. In favor
ably warm. rainy weather it spreads
with alarming rapidity, so that within
4S hours field Of luxuriant green leaves
becomes black and dropping, rotting with
q characteristic offensive odor. In less

favoring weather Its progress is slower,
yet its course is always a rapid one,
The disease appears on the leaf as a
purplish, black spot, which rapidly in
creasesi in size until it spreads over the
entire leaf. AS shown in Fig. 1, the dis
eased spot may start anywhere upon the
leaf, and once started it spreads so rapid
ly that the base of a leaf is often black
and dead while the tip is still green, not
having had time to wilt. This is the
case in the lower right hand leaf of Fig.
l. For the same reason, if the disease
appears at the tip of the leaf, as shown in
the lower left hand leaf in Fig. 1, it may
spread over the entire leaf before there
is time for the natural drying and curl
ing up of the dead portion.
This blight or death of the leaves Is
directly caused by the growth of fun
gus, a delicate mildew, the microscop-
ical root threads of which permeate the
leaf and feed upon its life juices. This
mildew can often be seen on leaves that
are rapidly blighting. In the morning
when the dew is on, or just after a rain,
look carefully on the under side of the
blghting leaf around the edge of the
diseased spot, just where the black
blends with the green, and this mildew
is seen appearing like delicate coating
of frostwork. Placed under the micro
scope, this delicate mildew is seen to
consist of a miniature forest of slender
stems growing like little trees from the
surface of the potato leaf and bearing
upon their branches egg shaped seed
bodies or spores.
Fig. 2 shows, much magnifed, two
stems of this mildew, with spores at
tached, as seen growing out through a
breathing pore of blighting potato leaf.
1t is these spores, produced in immense
numbers, that carry the disease from
blighting to healthy plants. These spores
are produced mainly on the atnder sides
of the blighting leaves, but as they are

scattered by the wind they fall upon the
upper surfaces Of the healthy leaveS.
The object of spraying with the Dor
deaux mixture is therefore clear. 1t is to
keep the upper surfaces of the heating
ledUes corercd acith a thin coating of this
copper compound, 1cItich is a deadly poi
son to these spores, killing them as they
come in contact with it.
These spores not only fall on the
healthy leaves, but are also washed into
the soil, thus reaching the tubers, and, as
all know only too well from experience,
cause the characteristic dry rot, or in
wet seasons and heavy soils the wet, OF
"slush," rot. By checking the disease on
the tops, therefore, this rot is also pre-
vented. Two or at most three applica-
tons of bordeaux mixture have never
failed in the last three years to give US a
crop practically healthy so far as this
late blight and rot are concerned.
Let us now consider with like atten-
ton the nature of the ''new disease" or
''The Early Blight"
Everything that we saw in the way of
blighting potato leaves in Vermont last
summer 1882 during July and up to
the 10th of August was caused by this
early blight The same thing is to be
expected this summer. This early blight,
then, appears earlier than does the other
or late blight. Moreover, its injuries in
Vermont are mostly confined to the
earlier potatoes. 1t has been seen in
June upon very early potatoes, and for
the past two years during the latter part
of July it has been found attacking
nearly every piece Of early potatoes ex-
amined. AS result of its attack the
field as whole has a sickly yellowish
tint instead of the rich, dark green of
the healthy potato foliage. The general
appearance of the affected leaves is
shown in Fig. 8. In contrast with the
single large spots of the late blight we
have here many small spots scattered
over the leaves, as shown on the lower
leaves in Fig. 3. These spots gradually
enlarge and merge together, as shown on
the upper leaves. The tips and edges of
the leaf are especially attacked.
The progress of this disease is COM
paratively slow. Owing to this slow
progress and to the drier weather the
diseased portions Of the leaf dry and be-
