great work in curing the more terrible

Others here tell similar stories. In fact
in this part of Missouri there are scores
of people who have cured the early symp

POTATO BLIGHT.
TimclineSs Important as Thor
Oughness In Spraying.


By Messrs. JONES and MORSE. Yer
mont Experiment Station.
Experimental sprayings of potatoes
with fungicides and other compounds
have been conducted at the Vermont
station each summer for fourteen
years. During this time Il large num-
Der of preparations have been tested,
and nothing equal to bordeaux arsenic.
al mixture has been found for use in
the latter part Of the season. The
gains from the right use of this mix
tuFe have been large on the average
and are chiefly attributable to the pro-
iongation of the life of the foliage into
the autumn through protecting it from
both fungus and insect ravagcs. In
general two applications of -the mix
Owing, however, to the late appearance
of the blight in 1903 and the fact that
its development was checked by CON
tinuous dry weather in early Septem-
Der single application of the mixture
about the 10th of August proved suiii-
cient for the preservation of most of
the foliage from blight. On heavy soil
there was some rot where the plants
were sprayed only once, but the crop
in the main field of the station farm.
which was sandy loan three and
one-half acres in extent. thus sprayed
once retained its foliage in good shape
well through September and yielded
over 1.2OO bushels of marketable po-
tatoes with practically no rot. The
plots We're lug Sept. 81. The unspray.
ed tops had been dead for some weeks,
while at least 80 per cent of the foliage
was still alive on the sprayed tops
The gain per acre of potatoes was not
as large as 1t has been in seasons when
the blight came earlier and progressed
more rapidly On the other hand, un-
Iler such conditions two or even three
sprayings are required to reserve the
foliage until the maturing of the crop.
The gain of 124 bushels per acre as the
result of n single timely spraying rep
rcsents n larger gain in proportion to
the cost than we have heretofore re
corded. We learned of cases where
potato growers sprayed their plants
twice in July and secured little profit,
for the reason that by the time the
blight was destructive, the latter half
of August, their plants We're unpro-
tected. Our experience again serves to
emphasize the point that in order to
spray most protitably "A man must
know what he is spraying for. watch
his crop and spray intelligently as well
as thoroughly.

The Weed Nuisance

The decision of the board of health
to compel property owners to destroy
weeds is right. for this rank growth
of vegetation is injurious to public
health, and the men who own the
property on which weeds grow are in
a sense responsible for the nuisance.
No man should be permitted to use
his property to the injury of the pub
lie, and to permit it to grow up in
weeds is to use it in that way. Occu,
pants of houses IN the localities where
weeds grow appreciate the need of
their destruction, and there will prob
ably be little difficulty in inducing
them to keep their ground clear. 1t
is from owners of vacant lots that the
most opposition may be looked for
1t is we'll established that rank
growth of some forms of vegetation
in the midst of large population in
creases disease, and hence it becomes
the duty of the health department to
remove the evil 1t is impracticable
for the city to do this, and besides it
is primarily duty devolving upon
the individual property owners
1t is proper, therefore, for the board
of health to take whatever steps may
he requisite to compel property owners
to abatc the nuisance The expense
falling upon each individual will be
light, although in the aggregate the
sum required for this purpose may be
very large Denver Republican.

WEIGHT OF HAY.
The Degree of Maturity when Cut
Influences ShrinkaEe.

The results of experiments conducted
by different stations show that the de
gree of maturity ut which hay is cut
| influences very largely tSe shrinkage
during curing. AT the Pennsylvania
experiment station early cut hay lost
on an average 20 per cent in weight
while later cut hay lost only 2l.5 per
cent. Timothy, when cut just begin
ming to head lost 10 per cent of water
in curing; when cut at the beginning
of the blossoming period, &C per cent,
and cut little later or about the usual
time, 81 per cent. The Michigan sta
ton found shrinkage of about 60 per
cent in curing clover. At the New
York state station meadow fescue mix
ed with Il little red clover lost in one
lot GIGS per cent and In another 5S.2J
per cent during curing. The moisture
retained in cured fodder varies with
different kinds. Atwater states that
for New England timothy hay retains
on an average u per cent of moisture,
clover hay IA per cent and corn fodder
% per cent
Eject of Atmosphe eric Moisture.
A considerable difference in shrink
age occurs between hay cured in dry
weather and hay cured when the at
mosphere is more or less moist. For
this reason the shrinkage in hay in a
dry climate is usually smaller than in
the more humid regions. At the Kan
sas experiment station small quantities
of thirteen different kinds of hay buried
in the NOV from four to six months
shrunk 40 per cent on an average,
ranging from a Ii per cent loss to 3
per cent gain. Five tons of very dry
timothy hay stored in NOW for six
months at the Michigan experiment
station lost nearly per cent. and in
another test $500 pounds of the same
kind of hay in good condition placed
in the NOW July q had lost 40 pounds,
or 13S per cent, by Feb. Is following.
Practical men estimate that hay put
in the NOW when in good condition
usually shrinks about 20 per cent by
the time it is baled. The Utah expert
mcnt station has reported loss of
little over 10 per cent in ton of tim
othy hay after it had been kept In the
barn for nine months. A stack OF tim.
othy hay containing little over two
tons and built in the open had gained
little over | per cent during the same
time. The results with clover hay at
the same station show Il loss of 3.75
per cent during nine months when kept
in the barn and Il gain of 10 per cent
for the same period when stacked out
