KILLED.
John Gruber While Cunning
for Blackbirds Shoots His
Son, Peter.

During last Saturday afternoon one
OF h saddest accidents in the history
OF Day county occurred at the home of
John Gruber, about a mile from Webs
ter. The ~blackbirds had been taking a
great deal of Mr.. Gruber's grain and to
drive them away he decided to shoot
some of them, accordingly a gun was
taken to the field. One shot was fired
and some birds were killed. Peter, the
eleven-year-old son, went boy-Iike to
pick mp the birds, and while he was
thus engaged the gun in the hands of
the father was accidently discharged
and the full charge of shot took effect
in the boys side killing him instantly.
The funeral occurred from the Catholic
church in this city Monday Rev. Father
Mansing officiating, and the remains
were inferred in the Catholic cemetery.
The family, and especially the father,
have the sympathy of all in their great
bereavement.

In certain ulisprayed rows where the
blight was developing. 1t seemed prob
able that IL the rot OF the tubcrs re-
suits from spores falling upon the soil
such spraying would reduce the
amount. Accordingly. early in August
nine rows were set apart for thiS trial.
The soil was a ~grayelly loan, fsirly
well drained. variety Delaware, plant
cd May Is. The plants had not been
sprayed up TO this time. and there was
Il sprinkling OF blight evident on the
foliage Of many OF them. and. rs the
results show, the spraying wns delayed
too late for the full protection CT any
of the plants.
The results are not TO be interpreted
finally. bur SO far as they show any
thing it is that spraying the surface OF
the soil greatly reduced the amount OF
rot. This result Is In harmony with
the idea that tuber infection results
from spores passing through the soil.
This method Is not advocated as o
practical remedy.

POTATO BLIGHT AND ROT.


Spraying Tested as a Remedy mt the
Vermont Experiment station.
A single application of bordeaux par
is green mixture to potatoes at the Yer
mont experiment station protected the
giants somewhat against iaect attacks
IN 1901, but was no protection against
the late blight and rot.
In a trial OF paris green alone, as
compared with bordeaux paris green
mixture, little. was demonstrated ex-
cept that the proper use Of bordeaux
mixture on potatoes is a very proita-
bic operation. In many cases, however.
the work is only half done. 1t is then
of little value.
In regard to results from spraying
last season the station authorities say:
Little is to be added to what has been
stated heretofore. Bordeaux mixture
again proved u reliable remedy in a
trying season. The twice sprayed rows
appeared almost as green as those
sprayed three times. More rot appear
ed in those twice sprayed than the con-
dition OF the tops led us to expect. The
loss was probably due in part to the
fact that the two earlier ~sprayings
were made by unskilied farm laborers,
who gave less attention than our train
ed assistants usually do TO spraying the
lower leaves. Tho fungus, therefore,
had an opportunity to develop suffi-
GENTLY on these to cause considerable
rot except on the plot where the third
and more careful spraying was mace.
As a matter OF fact we believe that II
the second spraying had been made as
thoroughly on the lower leaves lis was
the first 1t would have sufiiced to pre-
ven the rot that occurred.
spraying the Soil For Rot.
There are various causes for the rot
ting of potatoes. The common one In
Vermont is the invasion OF the tuber
by the same fungus Ghytophthora)
which causes the late blight or trust
Of the leaves. The popular idea Of
those who have observed this associa-
ton Of the blight and the rot is that
the fungus causing thu disease passes
down the stem, but De Barry advocated
some forty years ago that the decay OF
the taber results chiefly, II not wholly,
from the spores which fall from the
leaves to the soil, and this explanation
las been accepted BY the later b0ta-
nists generally. While carrying ON our
spraying experiments last summer Il
occurred to us to try the effect 0f
spraying the soil underneath the plants
