The potato rot played havoc i'm many
fields last season. Many farmers did
not spray and lost heavily. while 9TH
ers sprayed thoroughly and sustained
material losses through rot. The Yer
mont experiment station furnishes
some interesting data upon this sub
ject. In their experience per cent.
of the crop on the sprayed area was
rotted. while so per cent. of that grown
i'm the unsprayed area was lost by rot.
The net gain was 26l bushels per acre
as a result of spraying with bordeaux.
Potatoes sold in Burlington for 60
cents per bushel. The gain amount
ed, therefore. to S156.
Tho spraying was done on portion
of a potato field located beside one of
the most travelled roads leading into
Burlington. The soil was we'll
drained sandy loan sod, well MANFRED,
plowcd in the spring and planted late
in May. TWo-thirdS of the piece was
sprayed August and September j
with standard bordeaux-pariS-gr green
mixture six pounds copper sulphate,
four pounds stone lime, z pound paris
green. 40 gallons water); one-third
WIS sprayed solely with paris green.
The late blight (Which directly or
indirectly causes most of the loss from
the rot of the tubers) was first seen on
the unsIrayed rows August II. 1t

were killed by frost September ..3, full
Iy 80 per cent. of the foliage on the I'M
sprayed rows was dead, being mostly
killed by this disease. No late blight
could be found ut this time on the
sprayed rows where fully 80 per cent.
of the leaves We're alive.
The crop was dug, Oct. g. The
sprayed rows yielded at the rate of 34f
bushels per acre and the unsprayed
rows at the rate of 3O1 bushels per acre.
a gain in total yield of only AZ bushels.
Put when the rotten tubers We're sort
ed out the sprayed area produced at
the rate of 81 bushels per acre of
sound. marketable potatoes, and the
unsprayed area at the rate of 56 bush
els per acre of sound marketable pota-
toes.
These results are exceptional: but
there were many fields the past fall.
especially in northern Vermont where
there was as great or even greater
loss from rot. Some were hardly worth
digging Are YOU planning to harvest
sc or 317 bushels of potatoes per acre
next year? Do you expect to leave 50
or only per cent. of your crop in the
field? Why not plant less land and still
raise rs many bushels? It's one way to
solve the help problem. Bordeaux ought
not to cost over SO per acre for each
application.

l recently stopped at house where
for 40 years the inmates have gone
down four or five steps to the pump.
some feet distant from the lower
step l asked why it had been kept in
such manner. al! these years and the
answer was:
Il don't know. It's always been So
Thus it is on all too many of our
farms. A little platform. on a level
with the top step and leading direct to
the pump which could be raised, would
save those extra steps
II is probably because 1T has always
been So" that so many families will go
down Il number OF uneven steps from {.
back "stoop," to Il little hollow, and
from thence up again to a shed to get
the daily wood supply. Probably ii is
because 1T has always been So that
We sometimes see place where the
WoodSh"d. opening off the kitchen, has
no outside door. and all the wood is
brought in through the kitchen and
packed there.
1t is on such places that one sees no
thrl1ty young orchards. Nothing IN
inc me OF apple trees but som, Scrlg-
gy OLD things, with hollow trunks, and
branches SO rotten no ladder could lean
against them. There are so many who
seem not to know. that thrifty, fruit
bearing trees take up no more space
than do such worthless trees The
owner will say. the apples will do for
cider. 1t does not occur to him that
the whole mass would make a good

vines. He answered.: We've GOT a
grape vine" and pointad to a spindlins
vine which had gone up a tree and out
as far as it could on limb
'And why do you not put out some
pear trees" I asked
We've got pear tree; it don't bear
much now. 1t was here when bought

piled. He surely had seen time enough
to have tasted of the fruits of his own
setting.
Their name is legion" these folk
who do not trouble to plant out trees
or vines. There were none on the
place when they took it. 1T has al
ways been So" Yet. small family
can use the grapes of 20 full bearing
vines and not waste one grape, and
then wish they had still earlier, and
still later vines. because grapes are
food. They count on the living q place
furnishes, the same as the beans corn.

The thrifty man will have thrifty
trees and vines and he who loves. and
will have. choice fruits in plenty. l.,
