The Potato Crop.

A short time ago the experiment
station at Burlington sent out word
that thepotato blight androt threat
ened to do serious damage to Yer
mont this fall. Later reports from
the same source say that the fears of
trouble were all realized, and that
there has been in fact a considerable
amount of loss already to potato
growers.
The rot follows the late blight and
comes from the same causes. Those
Who have late blight in their fields,
therefore, are bound to have rot; and
In all such cases special care ought to
be taken in sorting and storing the
potatoes for the winter.
The experiment station still insists
that proper spraying, backed up by
proper cultivation, will protect the
potato crop from these diseases
Continued experiments and practical
field tests covering period of ten
years, or more, have proved this be.
yond the possibility of doubt. Even
now, in the latter part of September
when most potato vines are dead
and many folds of potatoes already
dug, the experiment station potato
fields are as green and growing as
any time in July or August; anu the
potato expert claims that they are
making potatoes now at the rate o.
of 25 to 30 bushels a week for every
acre.
Wouldn't it pay potatoe growers
to look into the matter?
