Rot in Potatoes.

The correct time to dig potatoes is q
matter of considerable concern to tn,
potato grower, and especially if there
are symptoms of rot in the crop. A
| correspondent of the Country Gentle.
man made inquiry in regard to this
matter to which the following reply
was made:
IF the tubers have begun to show
the discoloration of the potato rot, it is
better to dig them at once. If the vines
are dead or nearly so, the tuberS will
not grow any more. and by leaving
them in the ground the sound ones will
be liable to be infected by the spores OF
the fungus which are yet in or on the
ground. but which succeeding rains will
| wash down in the soil and bring into
contact with the tubers, where they
will do their hateful work If the tops
are not yet dead, they will only serve
! to increase the crop of spores, which
| drop from them to the ground and
| which by the next soaking rain will
| probably be carried down and brought
| in contact with the tubers, thus in
creasing the destructive work. If the
tops are not dead, and we could be sure
of no more rain for a few weeks. it
would, perhaps, do to leave the tubers
in the ground; but this is not a GER
tainty. nor is it desirable.
If the tubers are dug and only the
sound ones stored in cool. dark. dry
cellar, the surface having first been
dried. they will not be likely to rot
Sometimes, however the rot continues
to develop after the tubers are stored
This is brought about in two or three
ways. The tuber may be affected. but
the fungus is in such an early stage Of
development that it has not vet pro-
duced a sufficient discoloration to be
roticed. The rot in such cases will be
likely to develop and make its presence
known in due time. Again, there may
be spores i'm contact with the surface
of the potato. but which have not yet
sent their germinal threads into its
flesh. If the potatoes are put in the
cellar While yet moist or with moist
Jumps Of earth adhering to them, the
dampneSs will cause these spores to
terminate, and the potato will. in due
time, show signs of rot. In the third
place. an affected tuber may communi-
cate the disease to a sound one with
which it is in contact. 1t is desirable.
therefore, that they be stored in crates
or in shallow bins. 50 that they can be
more surely kept dry and more easily
examined and any affected ones that
may appear be quickly taken out.
Moisture is the friend Of the rot dry
ness its enemy. Last season there was
little or no rot. There was not rain
enough to carry what spores may have
been produced into the ground deer
enough to come in contact with the
tubers. This season the case is diff
ferent"

The Importance of stable manure is
discussed as follows by The American
Cultivator.
Upon the returns from the manure
he applies. the farmer must mainly de
pend for his profit 1t is therefore eX-
tremely important for him to use it
Nhere it will do the most good. Not
merely the present crop but future soil
fertility must be considered. else while
8 ting large interest on his capital the
farmer will find that it is insensiblv
disappearing. Manuring must not be
applied exclusively to the crops sold
from the farm. If it is the crop is sure
to take away something more than is
given to the soil by the manure. 1t is
the characteristic of manure on which
us value largely depends that is makes
more available the fertility of the soil
in contact with it. Hence the necessity
with grain crops of sowing either grass
on clover which will use part of this
fertility and retain it in the soil in their
roots. and on the farm, in the manure
from stock to which they are fed
Where clover is seeded when manure
IS applied it does even more than re-
tam fertility. 1t increases the nitrogen
IN the soil by decomposition of air by
It's roots, and the long deep tap root
of clover reaches down into the subsoil
and takes thence mineral plant food
that no grain or vegetable crop could
reach and USE
