Potatoes Are Blighting.

The late blight or trust" has appeared
on early potatoes at the Vermont expert
ment station, Burlington. This date,
July 10. is the earliest record of its ap-
pearance there for the past thirteen years
during which it has been a matter of
critical study by the station officers.
They consider that the chances favor
even more serious development of the
disease than last year-and possibly, II
weather favors, the worst scourge of the
last decade. The reasons for this fear
are threefold: first, this remarkably
early beginning of the blight-which
means that whatever the weather condi-
tions it will spread insdiously from this
time on; second. the large amount of rot
occurring last autumn means that the
germs of the disease, which are carried
in the seed potatoes, are present in most
potato fields ;third the weather conditions
so far this season have prepared the crop
for serious bllghting since planting was
delayed unusually late and the growth
made by the plants recently has been
very rank.
The rapid spread of blight depends up
on weather conditions. If the rest of the
season should be continuously dry there
might be little trouble from it. The
chances are, however, that there will be
an unusual development of the disease.
Prices promise to be high again this
autumn and it Is recommended by the
Experiment station officers that spraying
with bordeaux mixture, to preserve the
plants from blight, be made earlier and
more thoroughly than usual. Their
specific recommendations are as follows
Spray early potatoes as soon as posi-
BILE now and later ones about the first OF
August. Probably it will be profitable
in either case to spray a second time
about two weeks after the first applca
ton is made. Thorough spraying re-
quires from two to four barrels of the
mixture to the acre. Most people do no
use enough. There is no danger of in
luring the vines from an overdose provid
ing the mixture is properly made.
The mixture consists of ! pound O.
stone lime, Il pounds blue virroil. Coop
per sulphate), 10 gallons of water. {
lbs. lime, 6 lbs. vitroil, | barrel water)
Shake the lime aud dissolve the vitroil il
separate vessels and mix Just before
using. Add paris green, J ID. TO the bar

Remember this is a preventive, not
cure, and must be applied before the ii
sease gains Roadway, also remember It
spray thorough if at all. Careless spray
ing is little better than none

Condition of CrOps,

Al crops were benefited by the warm
weather and sunshine of the first part of
last week. but their growth was some
what checked by the lower temperatures
that prevailed the latter part. says the
U. 5. government reports. There has,
however, been a general marked and
steady improvement In the condition of
ALL although not as rapid as is wished.
Harvesting of hay and grain was him
dered by the showers, and in some parts
of the northern portion of the district
where hoeing and cultivation are needed,
weeds are too much in evidence.
Rye, oats, and barley have been parti-
ally harvested, the yield being good and
the quality excellent. Oats are turning
color toward the north; they, for the
most part, have good length of straw,
but are heading somewhat short in some
fields. Some were badly lodged by the
showers and winds. Although holding
Its color and maintaining its growth
remarkably we'll when the disadvantages
of the past season are considered, corn is
! still very backward and, as stated in pre-
vious bulletins. many fields will be total
failures. In some exceptionally favored
localities it is beginning to tassel.
Fruit holds its own, although there are
stlll reports of dropping. Some tree;
were slightly injured by wind during the
week, but the damage was small. A
present the outlook for an excellent cror
of apples with the exception of Bald
wins and peaches is tlattering The
smaller fruits, both wild and cultivated
will probably be more plentiful thar
usual.

When the pain in my back got so bad that
