a tomato crop as we do to raise some
other kinds of fruit and vegetables, re-
marks an exchange The tomato rot IS
the one disease that troubles Us the most,
but usually this is not so destructive that
one considers it a great factor. Neverthe-
less we have known of cases where people
lost their entire crops from rot and lost
them year after year This would seem TO
indicate that the ground on which the first
plants are grown each year is infected
with the fungus which perpetuates itself
from year to year. This is not given as a
fixed opinion but is merely sugges ton.
Prof. Bailey says that this rot can be
kept in check by spraying with bordeaux
mixture. This is somewhat difficult to
do on most fields, for the reason that the
vines run together to such an extent and
are so thickly massed that il is all but
impossible to make an effective appi-
cation Of the spray. In such cases stalking
may be used, trimming the vines to an
extent that viii admit of the free drench-
ing of all parts by the liquid. 1t IS the
testimony of some growers that vines
trained to grow up to trellis aud kept
pruned to one stem are affected less tnan
vines treated in any other way. This may
be because the vines dry out quicker after
a wetting and consequently do not ALLOW
conditions to remain favorable to the de-
velopment of rot sports.
For the same reason straw placed under
the vines seem to encourage the rot. we DO
not believe il viii be necessary to so to the
trouble of stalking and training UP vines
unless the rot has become very bad, for
the work must necessarily be very eXpen-
sive with large growers. The rot affects
most the highly developed varieties, and
the plum and cherry tomatoes are affected
but little, though we have noticed that
plum tomatoes win rot when allowed TO
lie on the ground during a wet time. This
may be due however, 70 another variety
of fungus.
Another blight attacks tomato plants
in the greenhouse in the early age Of the
the plants. OF this blight little seems 10
be known. 1t has the appearance of light
yellow spots on the leaves, and these spots
enlarge till they destroy the value of the
plant, even if IL does not kill them. The
only remedies are to destroy all infected
plants and put new soil in the green house
a. least once a year.
Another blight exists mostly in the
South. 1t is not believed that il will be
come spread over the North, though it is
possible that it may make inroads in states
north of the Ohio. 1t occurs In field crops
and is very destructive. Spraying the
plants with Bordeaux mixture is about the
only remedy, but all old plants and field
rubbish should be burned as soon as dry
enough. This blight is supposed TO be the
same that affects melons, squashes and
potatoes, and for this reason these four
crops should not follow each other on the
same land.

For some years now the, subject of sec
ond crop seed potatoes has been agitating
the potato growers, says the Farmers Re
view A good many agriculturbsts about
came to the conclusion that there must be
something in the claim that seed from sec
ond crop potatoes was Of more value than
that from the first crop. This belief was
particularly advantageous to the Southern
potato growers In the North the season
is too short to make it possible to grow
one crop for commerce and another for
seed. This threw the production of the
second crop seed potatoes into the South,
where the season is long enough TO make it
possible to plant a second crop Of pota-
toes and bring them to a degree of matur-
ity that would make them possible for
seed. 1t should be said that these second
crop potatoes were not generally well ma
tured at time of harvest and this was be-
lieved TO be an advantage. 1t is known
that many kinds of plants produce seeds
that can be used for planting long before
they are mature. Green peas, at the time
they are on the market as table dehca-
cies, win grow If planted. Potatoes not
fully matured retain their plumpness bet
ter than mature potatoes, and this, says
Mr. Read of Wisconsin, is the reason
they produce, under some conditions bet
ter crops than mature potatoes. They are
really brought into competition with po-
tatOes that have been poorly kept all
winter, that have been allowed to sprout
one or more times and have thus become
soft and wrinkly.
The Arkansas experiment station has
taken up the question and has for a num-
Der of years been making careful com
parsons between crops grown from good
first crop Northern seed and second crop
seed. The result has been contrary to
r1,sr# E ~
nearly every case the Northern grown
seed gave the best results. In a large
number of experiments there was only
one case where the second crop potatoes
did better than the first crop seed In all
their tests during 1894 there was a differ
ence of twenty bushels per acre In mar
ketable potatoes IN favor of the Northern
grown seed. During 1895 there was a diff
ference of thirteen bushels per acre in
favor of the Northern grown seed. Dur
ing 1896 there was q difference of more
than seven bushels. per acre in favor of
the Northern grown seed. on the other
hand the number Of uumarketable pota-
toes was much greater from the second
crop seed. The Northern grown, or first
crop seed, gave much earlier harvests-
that is came TO maturity before those
from the second crop seed Thus, during
the tests of 1894 only 1876 per cent of the
potatoes from Northern grown seed were
culls while of the potatoes grown from
second crop seed 23.5 were culls.
We are glad to be confirmed in our be-
lief that mature seed is best when It has
been rightly kept 1t is in accordance
with all reason as we know that general
ly offspriues from immature parents have
not the qualities that have the offsprings
of mature parents. Potatoes for seed
must be carefully kept either in pits in
the ground or in cool cellars or storage
rooms. There should not be enough heat
present TO start a growth

Sweet Potatoes and Turnips as Stock
Wood.

G. MGR. Fitzgerald Ga: How much
more valuable for stock food is the sweet
potato than the turnip. pound for pound?'
AS a food for cattle, especially milk
cows, the sweet potato is a far better food
than the turnip, yet the latter is worth
more than is generally supposed. The po-
tato does not contain near SO much water
as the turnip and has about four times
as much fat forming material (carbohy-
drates) as the turnips Common turnips).
The Rutabaga is better than the rough
leaf turnip Exactly the practical value
of the difference cannot well be stated,
but 1t may be accepted as a fair statement
that one bushel Of potatoes is worth at
least 218 or bushels of turnips
as dairy food. They are both more vaIu-
able if cooked along with such substances
as wheat bran or cotton seed. Turnips
being so easily grown in the fall have
a value that potatoes do not have and
should be grown extensively for food.

Nitrogen Furnishes Nitrate of Soda

"B. M" writes: What Is the relative
value of nitrate of soda and sulphate of
ammonia as fertllizing materials?"
Nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammo
MIA are only valuable for the nitrogen "a
ammonia) that they contain. Pure nitrate
of soda contains about 16 per cent nitro
gen highly soluble and Immediately avail
able as plant food Sulphate of ammonia
is richer still and contains 20 per cent. nj
troSen. The latter of course, costs more
per ton, but should not cost more than 70
per cent. more than the nitrate. One is
about as good as the other as a fertilizer,
where only nitrogen is wanted. Both
should be used as top dressings after the
crop, whatever 1t may be. is wen under
way, else there Is apt 10 be considerable
loss Of nitrogen from teaching The nitrate
is more generally used than the sulphate
If not adulterated both are worth the
prices usually charged for them.
