Potato Experiments In 1904.

The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station is now mailing bulletin ia which
contains an account of storage experime nts
on the rctting Of potatoes due to late
blight; experiments with dry Bordeaux
mixture as a preventive Of blight; and ex-
perimenis with home mixed fertilizers for
potatoes.
Ii was found that the infection of the
potatoes with the fungus which produces
rot occurs chiefly If not entirely 10 the
field before digging; that the infection is
usually the result OF diseased vines and
that 10 the majority 'of cases the disease
is not transmitted directly from the vine
but indirectly through the soil. Potatoes
may be infected directly in the field from
spores introduced in the preceding year.
The experiments at this Station agree
with those at the Vermont Station in
showing that where the vines have or have
not been protected with Burdeaux mix
ture, there is far less liability OF loss from
rottng in the case OF late dug than OF
early dug potatoes.
The experiment with dry Bordeaux
mixture and soluble Bordeaux mixture
show these both to be less effective as a
preventive of blight and subsequent rot
than the regular Bordeaux mixture.
Details OF experiments upon several acres
of potatoes grown by the use of home
mixed fertilizers are given, and the results
are discussed. Suggested formulas for
home mixing given in bulletin Io7 OF the
Station are referred 10.
This Bulletin (Ir2) will be sent free to
all residents of Maine who apply TO the
Agricultural Ex pertinent Station Orono.

Potatoes from RadisheS.

English newspapers are giving
interesting details of a process
whereby radishes are transformed
into potatoes. The process Is the
invention of a Frenchman, Mon
sieur Molliard, of Paris. He takes
a very young radish and cultivates
it in a glass retort, after a process
invented by Pasteur, in a concen-
trated solution of glucose. Starch
then develops plentifully in the
cells of the radish, which swells
out, loses its pepperiness, and ac-
quires practically the consistency,
flavor, and especially the nutritive
properties of the potato. 1t Is not
claimed that the latter vegetable
will be at once superseded, or yet
that il will be cheaper to change
radishes into potatoes than TO culti-
vate the latter III the ordinary way.
But NJ. Molliard's discovery is re-
garded as one which may have far
reaching consequences. Producers
