to be crossed, and southwest of Madi.
son near the lake. Otherwise the
route is ideal for railroad building,
and observations taken by the party
with a barometer shows the difference
in altitude to be slight
The proposed line beginning at
Mitchell extends through the north
part of Hanson county, through Can
ova to Madison and from Madison to
Brookings in almost a straight line
From here the route will perhaps go
northeast to either White or Bush
nell and south Of Lake Hendricks
through Ivanhoe to Marshall. The
people of Hendricks were very desir~
Gus Of securing the road but it is not
thought that they can get it as Ivan
hoe is a more preferable town to
cross on account of it's location. 1t
is also proposed to extend the road
to Redwood Falls, which is located
about thirty miles east of Marshall,
and this would give the towns along
the route another outlet to the Twin
Cities over the Minneapolis & St
Louis from that point.

TIE POTATO BLIGHT

Editor Register: In my peregri-

able about the loss caused by potato
rot Farmer who receive the Bull
etlns Of Agriculture or those of the
experiment station of the various
states, are pretty we'll informed con-
corning the disease and its remedies,
but city dWellers. who have not access
70 them. are at loss how to proceed.
The latest bulletin | have to hand.
and the most complete issue so far.
is that Of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture, containing the results of
the Investigations of II. b. Smith. B.
S. A, into the rot which has decreased
the yield Of potatoes in that province
6000,000 bushels within the past three
years
He has acertained that the farmers
inability TO cope with the rot has been
the great cause OF failure. but there
is hope for the future, inasmuch as
at the Ottawa experimental station it
has been found that spraying with
Bordeaux mixture has increased the
average yield during the past three
years by "a bushels per acre. AS
Bordeaux mixture costs less than IS
per acre for proper treatment, four
times during the season the returns
are big
The following is the method ac.
cording to the bulletin quoted
Bordeaux mixture for potato spray.
ing is made from the following form
ula: Copper sulphate (bluestone or
blIe vitrioD, 8 pounds; unslaked lime,
5 pounds; water, 40 to so gallons.
In making the Bordeaux it is i'm.
portant to remember that these strong
stock mixtures must never be
brought together. Pour three gallons
of the bluestone solution into forty
gallon barrel Can ordinary barrel holds
between forty and fifty gallons), half
fill the barrel with water. and 2%
gallons of lime solution. fill up with
water, stir thoroughly and the mixture
is ready for use
Spraying should begin about July IS
and the vines kept covered till Sep.
tember Four applications, as requir-
ed. will Usually accomplish this. Some
have got fairly satisfactory results
from one good spraying just at the
time the disease begins to spread but
ordinarily it is best to use the mixture
at least four times. Bordeaux is the
only effective remedy yet devised for
the control Of the potato blight. 1t is
easy to make and easy to apply and
where properly made and thoroughly
applied is certain to be effective The
only precautions to observe in making
are ID use pure fresh materials and
use them in correct proportions and
III the proper way. and in applying to
keep the mixture on the vines during
the season that blight is likely to an.
pear
In the city where the plots ara com.
parativaly small potato growers could
cooperate in making and applying the
mixture.
