words, the crop from the sprayed plot
was just about double that of the un
sprayed. Three applications of the Dor
deaux mixture produced on the averag
about one-third more gain than two ap
plications.
The bordeaux mixture costs about
cent per gallon. To make three applica
lions requires from 200 to 500 gallon,
per acre, and the cost for labor in apply.
ing Is about 81 an acre for each applica
ton. The total cost, therefore, of spray.
ing potatoes varies from $3.50 to SOL
per acre and averages about 80, SO the
profit for spraying is many times the cost
of the application.
The increased yield obtained where the
plants are sprayed is principally due to
the longer life of the vines, allowing
them to grow a larger yield of potatoes.
There are two potato blights, named
in order to distinguish them the 'early'
and the slate blight" 1t is known that
THE late blight can be prevented by the
bordeaux mixture, and the indications
are that much of the damage from the
early blight can be prevented by the
same. Spraying for the early blight
should begin the first week in July; for
the late blight not until the last of July
|or the first of August.
Other Plant Diseases.
Much time has been spent by the bot
anist in investigating several other plant
diseases. 1t was found that where the
red cedars in the vicinity of an apple Or
chard were destroyed that the apple
rust, previously very bad in the orchard,
Entirely disappeared. A large orchard
WAS sprayed thoroughly for the proven
ton of the apple scab, but the season
was so wet the solutions were washed off
as fast as applied, and the resulting gain
in crop was not equal to the cost of the
Several greenhouse diseases have been
investigated and much information OBJ
tanned concerning their occurrence and
characteristics. The experiments for
their prevention have not yet progressed
far enough for a report. A peculiar
trouble found on the tomato plants, and
which seriously reduced the crop, was
to be due to an excess of water.
Dat Smut.
Further experiments have confirmed
the results obtained a year ago that
the seed oats in hot water en-
tirely destroys the smut. An increase of
yield in addition to that produced by the
smut spores has been reported by several
Investigators. In the tests made last
summer no such increase was observed.
. very extended investigation showed
hat the loss from oat smut in this state,
where native seed is used, is about 1 per
cent, and therefore not large enough to
lemand the use Of the hot water for any
other treatment for disinfecting the seed.
It also showed that the average loss from
,at smut where western seed is used is
much greater than where native seed is
Used, being in the samples examined over
hree times as great.

Then the orchestra played an overture
from ''RienZi"
The address of Director General Davis,
whlle not long, was attentively listened to
ana warmly received. After Mr.. Cleye-
land had finished his speech and President
Palmer had announced the completion of
the buildings and their acceptance from
the officers of the exposition, Mr. Cleye-
iand proceeded to touch the button that
set the vast machinery of the fair in mo-
ton.
This was the signal for great applause
from those present, and the orchestral
music was drowned by the tumult.
when the president touched the button
foo fiags and banners on the main building
broke out, and the stars and stripes waved
over an open fair.
There was man for each flagstaff on
the main buildings and grounds Tho
method of unfurling was the same az that
employed upon men of-war.
There was no choral music at the OPEN
ing. In the erection of the platform Some
one omitted place for the chorus. and the
music. therefore, consisted of orchestral
pieces only.
