SPRAYING POTATOES FOR

Too few farmers spray their potatoes for
blight, although it is customary to do more
or less spraying for rot and to destroy the
bugs. 1t pays to spray for blight as those
who do it can testify. To do the work eff
fectively it should be begun in early July
and be continued at intervals Of from a
week to twelve days throughout the grow
Ing season. OF course the weather has
much to do with the frequency Of spray
ing, rainy weather making 1t necessary to
do the work more frequently. The best
formula is the bordeaux mixture. six
pounds Of blue stone, six pounds of lime
and fifty gallons Of water. If bugs are
plentiful add one pound of paris green to
each fifty gallons of the mixture. 1t is. OF
course, understood that the work is done
with the sprayers Of modern construction
and that it Is done thoroughly for unless
thoroughly done it will be of little avail.
In no section where potatoes are grown
can we afford to do spraying for all OF
the troubles which affect the crop; if this
work Is done potato W is as profit
able as it ever was, more SO in some sec
tons where faint-hearted growers have
become discouraged.
